Mankind is dying. Unless an answer can be found for this bipedal species, extinction is certain. Some would say (the Earth included) good riddance. But only some. The rest probably wouldn’t notice, or even have an opinion on the matter. Be that as it may, mankind is unwilling to relinquish their dictatorship on the world and because of this have found themselves on the brink, working feverishly at coming up with The Answer. For you see, extinction was not looming due to pollution (although there was plenty of har mful stuff laying about); not because of a meteor of mass-extinction proportions was barreling down on us (we should be so lucky) and certainly not because of alien overlords (because really if that were to actually happen we would end up like those ant farms you see. Every kid wants one, and when they get it they simply forget about it after a week and half. Some would argue we have already been taken over and forgotten by alien overlords....

Judgement Day has passed us by. Where does the time go? Harold Camping is an American Christian radio broadcaster AND president of Family Radio, a California-based radio station group that spans more than 150 markets in the United States. He has predicted judgment days on May 21, 1988, and September 7, 1994, and more recently May 21, 2011. Clearly they all have been wrong. The latest date has since been revised to October 21, 2011. That is when the physical Rapture will occur along with the destruction of the universe by God. Yes, that’s right. God is a child who will throw a celestial temper-tantrum. We humans have disappointed him so greatly in fact that the entire universe is going to be destroyed. Yes that’s right. All the stars, planets, galaxies (who have nothing to do with us) will be thrown against the wall like a child who has just lost a game of checkers. This, however, is the k icker: His independent ministry, Family Radio International, spent million...

Mesmerizing the masses one soul at a time, simultaneously fooling no one of import. I just love how the word 'IMP' is in his last name. "The imp was a small lesser demon. It should also be noted that demons in Germanic legends were not necessarily always evil. Imps were often mischievous rather than evil or harmful. Imps are often shown as small and not very attractive creatures. Their behavior is described as being wild and uncontrollable." I salute you, man with the hair-like cowl and forked tongue. Keep the entertainment coming!

That's right, Pistol Palin, 20, is already plotting her future career in politics. Pistol believes Washington should have more regular people like her in office making decisions for the country, rather than the elite that currently run DC. It just brings a tear to my eye. Finally, America is heading back to Camelot!
The Wonderful Jesus of Oz

I just recently read L. Frank Baum's Wizard of Oz. I was startled to find the following quote, which to my mind perfectly explains not only Jesus, but how he has been able to last for 2000 years. After the Wizard of Oz has given the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Lion the thing they want the most (in fact they already had what they desired all the time), the Wizard muses to himself: "How can I help being a humbug," he said, "when all these people make me do things that everybody knows can't be done? It was easy to make the Scarecrow and the Lion and the Woodsman happy, because they imagined I could do anything."
