John Kerry, a 6-foot-4-inch Democrat, poked fun on Monday at George W. Bush, the 5-foot-11-inch Republican president for reportedly insisting that podiums be set far apart to offset his opponent's five-inch height advantage. -- Oh, give me a break. We could go further with that, you know. We could do the debates in a forest and make them both stand next to trees so that Bush looks smart in comparison and Kerry looks perky. (I'm rooting for Kerry, but still, I can tease. ;))

Unfortunate Whale Speared by Cruise Ship -- "This is the first ship strike (on a whale) that I'm aware of in the past year," said Williams. What, you mean this happens all the time?! Sheesh. (And don't look at the picture if you like animals, because awwwwwww, poor thing.)

Mt. St. Helens is about to erupt. California had an earthquake. An asteroid made its closest pass to Earth in 651 years. Four hurricanes in six weeks, and hurricane season ain't over yet. North Korea has nuclear weapons as a deterrent against war. Yeah, okay. -- This planet's starting to creep me the fuck out, and I'd like to move now. Or at least, have ourselves an apocalypse and get it over with already. Sheesh.

EDIT: I just noticed I've got little pen marks all over my thumb and spent ten minutes trying to figure out how the hell they got there, including a very realistically freaked-out stint of, "Oh my God, ghosts are writing on me in my sleep!" Then I looked down at my mouse right now and I've been using it right next to an open ink pen. Obviously, turning a year older hasn't made me smarter, but has made me more suspicious of the dark forces in the universe.

I keep insisting that we're having all these natural disasters because God hates George Bush. I mean, four hurricanes hitting Florida? How can you argue with that?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I kind of wish He'd be more direct and simply smite the man, but I think even He realizes that if we get rid of Bush, we now have Cheney as President. That's probably why Bush has kept him on as VP -- who'd get pissed and take a shot at George if the aftermath left Dick in charge?

[eiluned.livejournal.com]

The thought alone is terrifying. My theory is that God is taking the indirect route and threatening to smite all of us if we reelect Bush.

[tinylegacies.livejournal.com]

smite all of us if we reelect Bush.

Did we even elect him in the first place???

[eiluned.livejournal.com]

Well, we didn't, but the electoral college did.

WAIT! Maybe God's trying to smite the electoral college!

[sabra-n.livejournal.com]

Or, of course, there's the possibility that God sent Bush down as divine punishment and the smiting is the the icing on the cake.

I'd rather delude myself into to believing in a compassionate god. xD

Last time an asteroid came close, we got a news story on how Aussie bueracrats are making it tough for the scientist guys to establish a decent telescope.

So if a monster rock hits the Southern hemisphere and fries most of humanity, we can blame Australia.

They're not even a real country anyways.

I thought it was Canadia that wasn't a real country. Ah well. Though I suppose Australia's sort of like Canadia SOUTH! Plus it's a continent, so it's got that going for it.

Hey! Our kangaroos will stomp all over you in the coming revolution!

Stop making me squee over Kerry even more, damn you! :D

That was a cute little jibe.

"You know when your horse is headed down toward the waterfalls or when your horse is drowning, it's a good time to change horses in midstream," Kerry said.

After a pause, he added: "May I also suggest that we need a taller horse? We could get through deeper waters that way."

Not only have I just randomly found you on the lover time consumer that is friendsfriends, but I adore your journal! Mind if I friend you?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Sure, go ahead. :)

Reminds me of how Clinton arranged to have all the candidates sit in tall chairs during a debate so Ross Perot would look like a child because he feet wouldn't reach the floor. *snicker*

cor_tenebrarum is on the geological team working with St. Helen's right now. If you want regular updates that aren't what the media is reporting, check his LJ.

Oh, and there was a tornado in New Jersey yesterday. Like, the day that the news kept saying how Bush is getting a lead in polls done in the state.

Coincidence? I doubt it.

[sabra-n.livejournal.com]

Dude, really? What part of the state? Because when I lived there the last tornado I remember was about 8 years ago.

Yes, the world is scary. But there's some good news -- you can find out if your intelligence ranks in the levels of Daily Show viewers, Tonight Show viewers, Late Show viewers, or O'Reilley Factor viewers, respectively.

Something to amuse you as the planet explodes over our heads and beneath our feet.

Also, I had a tornado dream last night. I dreamed about small tornadoes all over the desert in California, and along Highway 5 which is open farm fields and low grass hills. The country's weather must be going downhill if I'm starting to be subconsciously worried about tornadoes out here.

Whew! You don't know how much of a relief it is to know that I am not the only person in the world, well into adulthood, whose first thought upon seeing pen marks on me is that it might have a supernatural cause. Though, my thoughts usually tend towards aliens trying to contact me by writing crytic messages in scribbles on my skin.

This is normal, right?

There's also the typhoon that hit the Japanese island of Honshu, and Hurricane Lisa (which is gathering strength, but unlikely to reach land any time soon, if at all)...
