    The fundamentals of the building are strong.

  2. Suspend the campaign! Call off the debate! This needs Walnuts! full attention!

  3. As if this is more important than Sarah Palin in a swimsuit from 1984.

  4. Did he push Sarah in right before he blew it up? That could be an end to his lady problem.

  5. Holy shit, our physical infrastructure is vanishing now too along with our magical infrastructure (finance).

  6. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 4:12 pm, September 26th, 2008

    “My Friends, while I would love to debate tonight, I must jet back to DC and support a building that is collapsing. I am the only one who can do so. It is clear that I must act now for the good of the Country.”

  7. Everything he touches withers and dies.

  8. HomoPolitico says at 4:14 pm, September 26th, 2008

    This building collapsed because Obama wouldn’t agree to ten town halls.

  9. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 4:14 pm, September 26th, 2008

    facehead: Eeeeeexactly. Priorities, dear mods!

    Sigh. One less unoccupied building to squat in when The Depression starts.

  11. facehead: I say we all just post the word swimsuit until they put it up. That’ll lernum

  12. DoctorCulturae says at 4:15 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Which reminds me. What trash problem will be dumpeth by some scalawag on this, another juicy news day?

  13. ManchuCandidate says at 4:15 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Come on people! The building was built just five and a half years ago!

  14. columnv: What do you mean now? Our physical infrastructure has been crumbling to bits in an entirely non-metaphorical way for a long time.

  15. Johnny Zhivago says at 4:17 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Direct Link… But it will make you sick, I warn you…

  16. Probably Satan coming for dinner. What took him so long?

  17. Condiments-Only Diet says at 4:19 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Well, sometimes gravity rears its ugly head, and when that happens, do you know where buildings go? Alaska.

  18. iwillsavethispatient says at 4:19 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Errr.. there is not a Safe Building America and a Collapsed Builing America, there is only the United Rubble of America?

    Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall! No, not that one, it’s load bearing!

  19. Within minutes, the rubble will be full of Republican politicians with bullhorns, bellowing defiance to the world.

  20. DoctorCulturae: Oh and, uh, by the way… yah, we were really visited by aliens in 1947 at Roswell. No questions, kthxbai…

  21. tunamelt: Imploding buildings!!!?!?!?!??~/`/`/`/~??~?~/!/1/1/

    Sure, a bridge would fall every now and then, but building committing fucking suicide!?!?!??!?1/1/?!?

  22. Rodney Badger says at 4:22 pm, September 26th, 2008

    facehead: tic tic tic tic. . .

  23. bitchincamaro says at 4:22 pm, September 26th, 2008

    I really must be crazy, thinking I can acutally get some work done during this shitstorm. I must have my head up my ass

  24. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 4:22 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Building First!

  25. Rush: He’s been on the road whispering into McCain’s ear… had to stop off at home for some booze for tonight.

  26. If only Giuliani was the nominee, he’d be in there scooping up babies with his bare hands. This scene isn’t really McCain’s bag.

  27. user-of-owls says at 4:23 pm, September 26th, 2008

    The itsy, bitsy candidate crawled up the waterspout;
    down came the Dow and washed Walnut out;
    up came…no, wait. The candidate just suspended climbing up the spout.

  28. It’s probably my old house. Seriously, that place was a shithole.

  29. CrunchyKnee says at 4:24 pm, September 26th, 2008

    POWs usually know their buildings.

  30. Beef Supreme says at 4:25 pm, September 26th, 2008

    It was the Federal Applesauce Reserve building.

  31. Why haz our editors gone home early? Iz they preparing for the debate?

  32. CrunchyKnee says at 4:27 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Johnny Zhivago: God damnit, man!

  33. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 4:27 pm, September 26th, 2008

    How sad that I couldn’t tell if this was a joke or not. Sadder yet is that I’ve only heard Olbermann so far call McCain out for having birthday cake with Dubya, then going on Letterman the day the levees broke in New Orleans. What a mensch, as his BFF would say.

  34. mr.november says at 4:28 pm, September 26th, 2008

    The building is… cratering?

  35. Monkey: Yep… they had to rent a U-Haul to go shopping at the liquor store and pharmacy…

  36. Itsjustme says at 4:31 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Wasn’t a building at all, it was walnut’s campaign imploding.

  37. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 4:31 pm, September 26th, 2008

    grendel: So now would be the time to pull a shortshortshorts and possibly not get caught, right? I heard this one about a hotdog and a hallway…

  38. DoctorCulturae says at 4:33 pm, September 26th, 2008

    How much time will lapse before McFibber blames Hopesman for deregulation and the great new depression, er, I mean crater?

  39. ThomasAllen says at 4:35 pm, September 26th, 2008

    When he lands in Mississippi, will their state constitution disintegrate into a random pile of letters?

  40. bitchincamaro says at 4:35 pm, September 26th, 2008
  41. SelfDeprecatingFed says at 4:38 pm, September 26th, 2008

    That building has been collapsing for FIVE AND A HALF YEARS

  42. grendel: Funny, I’m plotting an early escape from work to do the same thing.

  43. shortsshortsshorts says at 4:42 pm, September 26th, 2008

    tunamelt: grendel: Leaving work early. Gotta fap before the debate.

  44. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 4:44 pm, September 26th, 2008

    tunamelt: grendel: shortsshortsshorts: I’m out in a few, as well. But back for the fun, later!

  45. tunamelt: Except I won’t be here for the liveblog because I will be at an actual event with people in real life.

  46. tunamelt: Me too. If I were smart I’d just keep a large quantity of liquor here in the office. At least through the election.

  47. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 4:48 pm, September 26th, 2008

    tunamelt: We’ll miss you. Thanks for the extra drinking game rules!

  48. iwillsavethispatient says at 4:50 pm, September 26th, 2008

    tunamelt: Real people! Pah! Come to Seattle and meet unreal people!

  49. iwillsavethispatient: If I had the power to travel to Seattle from LA in like four hours, yes.

  50. columnv: But will always have the virtual online infrastructure, right? I mean someone’s got to buy +3 swords in virtual universes and characters that have killed a couple elves or goblins and shit, right? (Can that stuff be mortgaged, or even better can I short sell?)

  51. WhatTheHeck says at 4:59 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Oh you young people. How soon ye forget the force is strong with Lord Cheney.
    With his cheap Rovian mind tricks he merely needs an object to focus his anger.
    Still, it makes me wonder why he hasn’t come after Wonkette corporate offices in D.C.
