Doomsdayers Take Heart

When asteroid Apophis buzzes the Earth on April 13, 2029, it will come within 19,400 miles (31,300 km) of our planet. That's closer than some geostationary satellites, which orbit the Earth at a range of 22,370 miles (36,000 km), and will be the closest flyby of an asteroid the size of Apophis in recorded history, NASA officials said. Now you have sometihin to be paranoid about for 16 more years. Enjoy!

    Sigh, that's too long. I'm going to have to go back to worrying about the government sending me to a reeducation camp, which surely will happen any day now with out America hating Muslim in the White House.

  2. The world ended on schedule on 12/21/12.

    This was confirmed when Obama won the fiscal cliff battle on 1/1/13. Everyone was monetarilty dead, they just didn't know it till then.

  3. Anyone notice that within 24 hours Obama has basically declared defeat in Afghanistan and Syria. I think Obama wants all those soldiers to deploy them on US soil.

    1. Serious request Live, what was OUR victory supposed to look like in Afghanistan and why were we going to have a different outcome from any other empire who has gone there? Objectively, I think we are pulling out in much better shape then others have.

    2. Don't you guys have any serious astroid based paranoia to talk about? Get in the doomsday spirit here, will you?

      Why are doomsday conspiracy theories--which used to revolve mostly around end of a century (Y2K) or the end of a millineum, becoming so prevalent? Or are they?

      Is it just that the internet gives many access to what a few thought before?

      Why do we have a reality show called 'Preppers' if we arn't witnessing a widespread interest in survival issues? Whole companies have sprung up to provide food and tools designed to enhance survival chances in the upcoming apocalypse.

      This is a curious cultural phenomenon worth investigating. I'll be back to see your targetted and informed comments when I'm done throwing away the expired canned goods in my attic.

    3. When the asteroid finally approaches, if I am on this side of the sod, I will rely on my president Chelsea Rodham Clinton, the third woman president of the United Socialist States of America, to save my backside.

    4. Yep, when Obama uses the military to take over the government and declare himself emperor, you can go to your bunker with your guns and ammo and protect us. We owe you a great debt for protecting us all.

    5. With Obama's projected executive orders I had assumed he already was our defacto emperor.

      Offense ain't played from bunkers Mickie. We already have DC surrounded. We won't repeat the mistakes ole Robert E. Lee made this time.

      1773-2009 I'll send you the bill.

    6. Arguably, the first shots have already been fired prof. This conflict of ideas will be carried the same way RR shut down the other Marxist's. If you have not realized the non violent nature of the Tea's you have not been paying attention. Reformation comes in many flavors, has happened before, and is happening again. Our revolutionary constitution allows for and encourages it.

      1773-2009 This will take generations. There willl be many twists and turns. Obama is but one catalyst.

    Look on the bright side. By 2029 the fiscal debit will be so large the asteroid will bounce off it and no one will even know it almost landed on Washington.

    Cheers from a hot, fire ravaged Aussie.

  5. On a similar note, the white house today rejected a program which would have the U.S. build a death star, at a cost of 100 trillion trillion dollars. It was supposed to protect us from astroids and invasions from space aliens and add 100,000 new jobs to the economy. No kidding, I'm serious, Google it.

    1. OK.
      Now that's a little better.
      Where are all the survivalists out there?

    2. Mick

      Seams a small price to pay to save mankind.Obama would only need to mint 100 of the Trillion Dollar coins.
      The idea to add 100,000 new jobs is good and the price per job is about the average price under this administration.

    3. Agreed. However, the objection is we no longer have the expertise to build space craft so we would have to hire Russia to do all the work. 100,000 new Russian jobs won't help us.
