Today, the end of the world almost happened. Really, I guess, it still could, if the folks at the big fancy particle accelerator create a “black hole [that] could – theoretically – swallow up the whole planet.” But in all truth, I wouldn’t mind if it had. Not trying to be morbid, if it did, we wouldn’t have noticed it. It would’ve been quick and clean and would have saved me from waking up at 5am stress-out and still irked from last night’s date gone so unexpectedly wrong… but I digress.

Everything in the WORLD

Unfortunately, we didn’t all blip out of existence as planned and instead have to deal with the much more real and far slower and torturous reality of the real end of the world. Like how this morning I heard the president of OPEC telling me that, while they will cut production in order to drive prices of oil per barrel up after a recent “slump”, he didn’t think consumers would be affected.

Then, as my Republican Uncle sends us pictures of his new beauty queen vice-president nominee, clearer heads are very, very frightened:

sigh

Scary indeed! Even McCain seems to have regretted his decision:

And finally… if you think I’m exaggerating over here, the world, or America at least, is definitely fucked (graphically at least):

So good luck out there and I hope everyone dreams of the former blip out of existence than the much more likely slow, suffering death!
