"Doomsday prophesies" about Obama...

Add to this list one that came from none other than Chuck Norris, that if Obama was re-elected, we'd have "1,000 years of darkness."
(What the hell does he mean, anyway?)

4 Things That Were Supposed To Happen By 2015 Because Obama Was Reelected

1. Gas was supposed to cost $5.45 per gallon.

2. Unemployment was supposed to be stuck at over 8%

3. The stock market was supposed to crash

4. The entire U.S. economy was supposed to collapse

which would cause an imbalance of weight due to too much sun on one side and not enough on the other.

If both sides of the earth are dark, the sun burned out and the darkness is not a problem. Nothing can grow without light. No moonlight because there's no sun to shine on it.

Where did Chuck Norris say the sun was going and why was it leaving? Don't tell me the sun is Republican.

In the strip, a girl makes a pass at a guy named Jake, who already has a bisexual girlfriend named Edith.

Am I thinking of the right Chuck Norris? At least he has an excuse - getting kicked in the head too many times. Time is running out for the doom-sayers. They remind me of the preachers who predict the end of the world, then adjust their predictions when the end doesn't come. The difference is, nobody listens to the preachers when they're wrong four of five times, but the Fox News crowd just keeps on lapping it up. Its like Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown. Well, I guess it's more like Charlie Brown trusting Lucy to hold the football. Now that Obamacare is gaining popularity, they're really desperate for something, anything.

A woman I knew (haven't seen her in years) was convinced of the "Y2K Doomsday" thanks to Gary North on Art Bell's bullshit radio show.

I bet her $10 nothing would happen.
I collected the bet on January 1, 2000.

Just look at the "Endtimes" preachers, we should have had a nuclear war with the Soviet Union and Red China by now.
Not one of them predicted the collapse of the Soviet Union or China becoming the biggest manufacturer of a lot of the stuff we buy.

Just recently Harold Camping "predicted" a specific date for the "Rapture," naturally, it never happened, and those who believed it lost everything.
