An impact by a 400 meter asteroid would really mess up the global warming models. It might even make Al Gore and Obama notice...

The good news is that by this time next year, NASA will be so deeply entrenched in the new Muslim Outreach Program, they won’t even notice.

On Nov. 8, 2011, the asteroid will complete another trip around the sun and swing by Earth again just inside the moon's orbit. Well, if it hits us, at least we won't have to worry about Obama getting reelected.

The later the calculated impact time, the less energy needed to deflect an asteroid out of Earth’s path. The energy can be so tiny it could be delivered by a particle beam from a solar powered satellite.

If this deadly missile keeps buzzing our airspace, we’ll be forced to rename it “Air Force One”.

How is it possible to know you have “found” 15% of an unknown quantity. Don’t you have to have found all of something before you can determine a portion?

How is it possible to know you have “found” 15% of an unknown quantity.It's similar to the theory used to calculate number os jobs saved or created...

How is it possible to know you have “found” 15% of an unknown quantity. It's that new math they've been teaching in publik skools since the '70's. See how handy it is?

Don’t you have to have found all of something before you can determine a portion? Not if you work for the government, ie, unemployment rate, census, climate change data, IRS, et al.................

That looks like what you’d see if you put Obama in front of a floor lamp and looked into one of his ears.
