Nuclear war will begin next Thursday, June 12, or sooner, according to the latest prediction of self-proclaimed prophet Yisrayl "Buffalo Bill" Hawkins, the founder of a religious sect in Abilene, Texas.

"It could be turned loose before then," Hawkins told 20/20 for a report to be broadcast tonight. "You're going to see this very soon, really soon," he said.

And I have to fly to Baghdad at the end of the month to go back to work. Maybe it won't be there, either.

Yeeeeeehaaaaaaaa!!

I’m having a difficult enough time dealing with the fact we have less than a week to live and you’re babbling on about some disparity in the calender. Give me a break for goodness sake.

LOL!

Maybe. As much as I honor and appreciate the bravery and sacrifice of the civilians on FLT 93, I can't help but wonder how the war would have been prosecuted differently if the Capitol Building and some of our (more liberal) senators and congress critters had died that sunny morning...

On a road through a desert in Arizona, a preacher named Nathaniel Evans walked every day, preaching to the many people who roared past in their cars.
“Repent, the End of the World is Nigh!” was his constant theme.
One day, as he was walking, he came to a big lever in the middle of nowhere, just by the side of the road. ‘Pull this to end the world’ said the sign on it.
Now Nathaniel saw this as the perfect spot for him to preach, and soon many automobiles were parked nearby, the people all swayed by his powerful elocution.
All was well, until there were so many people, and so many cars, that the road was nearly blocked. Then a big 18-wheel rig came down the highway, and couldn’t stop in time. The driver had a choice: run over Nathaniel, or run over the Lever.
As the driver explained to the Highway Patrol later, he actually had no choice. Pointing to the red smear on the road that used to be Nathaniel Evans, he said “Better Nate than Lever.”

Ouch. Slow day..

I sure hope he is just teasing us.

I am going to the the latest M Night Shyamalan movie on Friday.

It would be a bummer if the world ends before that!

Important End Of The World Notification
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: The SubGenius Foundation, Inc. 1-216-320-9528
Fax: (216) 320-9528
stang@subgenius.com

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 5, 2008: The Church of the SubGenius has
announced that the end of the world will take place in precisely
thirty days, on Saturday, July 5, 2008. In preparation for the
fulfillment of this doomsday prophecy, the Church has issued a call to
all of its members, to participate in a festival with rock concerts
and blasphemous rituals taking place in upstate New York, during the
final weekend before the arrival of the apocalypse.

Since its inception in 1953, Church founder J.R. “Bob” Dobbs has
predicted that a fleet of flying saucers will arrive at the beginning
of July to destroy the worldwide Conspiracy against the Church of the
SubGenius, while all ordained SubGenius ministers will be rescued by
escape vessels piloted by the Alien Sex Goddesses, also known as the
Xists.

The Church is inviting all of its members worldwide to gather together
for the final hours in Sherman, New York from Wednesday, July 2, 2008
to Sunday, July 6, at a clothing-optional outdoor campground called
Brushwood Folklore Center. The first gathering at this compound took
place in 1996, and the event has increased in size and participants
each following year. 1998 was designated the first true “X-Day,” and
each successive year has added one to the total. This year’s
celebration in 2008 is X-Day 11, or X-Day XI.

The Church has been engaged in a massive recruitment campaign to
increase the numbers of its membership before the arrival of the
Xists. According to Church records, the organization currently has
approximately 100,000 members worldwide. SubGenius recruitment has
been especially dedicated among the ranks of people who refuse to
conform to the norms of society, including disbelievers, blasphemers,
pranksters, rebels, hackers, pornographers, geeks, and outcasts.

The Church is seeking underground bands, indie rockers, performance
artists, and performers and producers from the adult entertainment
industry, because sexual freedom has been an important part of Church
doctrine from the start. X-Day will be a celebration of free
expression, performance art, rock and roll, pornography, and adult
entertainment; and certain parts of the event will be restricted to
adults only. Only ordained ministers of the Church of the SubGenius
are allowed at the event, but the Church is accepting memberships at
its standard rate of $30 up until the final hours of July 4.

The Church of the SubGenius has been no stranger to controversy since
its foundation, and the upcoming X-Day celebration promises to be no
different. In the late 1980s, members of the Church were accused of
spreading a virus in Macintosh computers known as the “Peace Virus.”
Numerous articles have been written on the Church in such noteworthy
publications as the New York Times, Washington Post, Wired Online,
Boston Globe, U.S. News and World Report; and broadcast reports have
been produced by CNN and NPR. In April 1999, officials of the city of
Cambridge, Massachusetts shut down an official SubGenius Devival
gathering in the belief that the Church was affiliated with the
Trenchcoat Mafia (the organization blamed for the Columbine high
school shootings), though authorities later realized the association
was mistaken. In its January 1, 2000 issue, a Time magazine poll
declared J.R. “Bob” Dobbs the biggest fraud of the 20th century.

The Church received additional media attention in 2006 when one of its
high-ranking members, known in SubGenius circles as Reverend Mary
Magdalen, became involved in a legal battle for custody of her son due
to her membership in the Church. This case has been covered in such
popular online sites as Boing Boing, Fark, and Wikinews (Wikipedia’s
news reporting service). Reverend Magdalen is being represented by the
law firm of Lipsitz Green Fahringer Roll Salisbury & Cambria, LLP.

When the mysterious group “ANONYMOUS” delcared war against the Church
of Scientology in 2008, the Church of the SubGenius responded with a
declaration of solidarity with the hackers on steroids – and an
invitation to the legions of ANONYMOUS to join the Church in New York
to prepare for X-Day.

Detailed information about X-Day can be found on the World Wide Web at
the X-Day Web site:

Photographers, entertainers, production companies, radio broadcasters,
and all media producers are encouraged to contact the Church at its
Cleveland, Ohio headquarters at 1-216-320-9528.
