The Mayan Factor
A wise friend of mine once observed that ''you can make a lot of money as a debunker in this country''. Our national cynicism knows no bounds. And while I fervently agree with the ''author'' of this piece that there is an often unbridled sentiment to rush to apocalyptic conclusions in these troubled times, I also try to exercise a little more ...

Re: 2012 another space odyssey
Real RML, I didn't suggest that the Mayans reset their calendar, we (well, the Latin West) did by starting a calendar/timeline of our own, to celebrate ''the Name of the Lord (Anno Domini). I merely brought that up, because if that naming convention hadn't occurred, the world wouldn't end on 12/21/12 (the sexy sequence). BTW I'm a Dutch ...

2012 another space odyssey
I spent most of 1999 monitoring data migration to a y2k-resistant accounting system. To this day I believe (no cognitive dissonance here) that the account rep for the new system did not really know whether he was selling necessity, but the company dollar was acceptable remedy for ignorance. As I put my dollars on the collection tray I feel ...

2012 according to Rosenboomski
Everyone thinks they know! Nobody does! The Mayan prophecy doesn't have to do with the end of the world. It has to do with a change! And, personally, I think we could stand some changes!

2012
Why get so angry about the whole 2012 hype, which is harmless (and will come to pass, unless nuclear war or some global pandemic or a gamma burst takes place first, LOL), when you have that the three major ''Western'' religions, followed by somewhere between 2 and 3 billion people, are rooted on the adventures of a certain Abraham, a deranged ...

Obama 2012 Election - Anti-Christ
It all makes sense. 2012 is when Obama goes up for reelection and reveals himself to be to be the antichrist. Unfortunately it will be too late and the New World Order will be controlled by his dark hands and his wicked coterie. Woe is we. We is woe. Luckily a man with beautiful pale skin, light brown hair, and Nordic features will save the ...

Now that Obama will be president
Obama has won the election by citing feel good statements without indicating any significant positions that he will take on any critical issues. America has elected charisma without knowing what direction our new President will take us. He will now have to win over the country with leadership and definitive policies that he has been able to ...

PALIN'S LIPSTICK COLOR IS ROGUE
Wonder no more what personal & political motive this woman has. She's ambitious, focused, ferocious and would bulldoze those who are on her way. There's no stopping her. She makes Hillary Clinton looks lame. First, she want's to be Miss Wassila. She won. Then she wants to be Miss Alaska. She nearly won. Then she wants to be THE mayor of ...
