On August 23, the northeastern seaboard of the United States was rocked by the most intense earthquake in over a century. Did an alignment between Comet C/2010X-1 Elenin and the Earth cause it?

Obviously not. Apparently earthquakes just happen. Case closed.

I don't think there's anything to debunk unless someone has brought to light some new evidence showing that Ice millions of miles away can cause earthquakes? The OP was just having a jab at the Elenin crazies and I think he did a pretty good job.

I always thought that it was Disraeli who said that... but then, it was Mark Twain who attributed it to him. The point is that if there were an alignment on the 23rd, the Doom Patrol would add it to the list of "proven" cases. In order to explain the quake, they can only concede that earthquakes happen without planetary alignments. If earthquakes can happen without planetary alignments, then it suggests that the "correlations" they are finding are statistical ghosts.
Our sun could now be, as of this month, in Nibiru's magnetic field. So maybe Elenin's daddy did it. Still unknown.
You are assuming too much.
Elenin may or may not be what it is claimed to be.
Something more sinister may be following it.

Actually, you are the one who is assuming too much. All of the hard evidence favors Elenin being exactly what it appears to be, a comet. If something, sinister or dexter, were following it, it would be visible... so where is it?
