So this is how liberty dies ... with thunderous applause.

They saw it coming

Tsunami pics. They saw it coming, but no one had any concept of the magnitude of what was about to happen to them. 1-6-05 EDITOR'S NOTE: JUST FOUND OUT THESE ARE NOT TSUNAMI PICS, BUT SOME FROM A RIVER INCIDENT IN CHINA TWO YEARS AGO. MANY THANKS TO SNOPES.

Just a guess, but those umbrellas aren't going to do much good. I suppose if they were Mary Poppins umbrellas they'd help. I feel really bad, but I keep thinking of all kinds of silly little things like "ooh, I don't want to get my hair wet. I hope this umbrella helps."

Look at the dipwad standing on the truck to take a picture.

One word. Run. I mean, if you run like me, it won't do you any good, but I just can't imagine standing there to take a picture. Those waters must have been moving sooooo fast.

    I heard somewhere that those waves were rolling about 500 mph!!!

    Ok, it would be hard to do much besides stand there with 500 mph waves rolling at you. I can see myself thinking, I might as well take a picture. :)

    And, yeah, Kat, I thought the same thing. If this happened in rural Texas this would be the exchange:
    Well, looky there Earl. That is one big sumbitch water bout to drowned us. Well, shit, Mable just cleaned the floors, too.

    Sorry, I don't have a blogger account so I'm posting anonymously.
    I read this article on Fark that said these pictures were false. http://www.crikey.com.au/media/2005/01/04-0004.html

    Thanks Stacy. My hubby just sent me an email that a co-worker discovered on Snopes that they're from a Chinese river incident two years ago.

    Thanks for the heads up. I made a note on the posting.
