But ... what if I get hit by an especially large asteroid?
The government KNOWS the Arachnids launched a a meteor and it’s headed to Buenos Aires.
If global warming doesn’t kill us all, a meteor will.
This explains the gov’s recent hysterical idiocy.
Didn’t know meteors had a union.
The only way to survive is to spend trillions and trillions on social programs...

The first good reason I have heard to sign up for Obamacare!
A quick check of the NASA link reveals that the asteroid will be approaching Earth in about 100 years. Anybody here planning on being around then?
Duck and cover is not real effective against a half mile wide asteroid.
Put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye?
The asteroid is still 27 million miles away from Earth, and won’t get here for another hundred years at least.
If we are lucky, it will hit DC.
When you see the flash, place head between knees and kiss your butt goodbye.
And don’t forget to wear a hard hat.
No offense to Conservative NYer’s, but really, would it be so bad if an old meteor wiped that hellhole off the face of the earth?
Of course, that’d be the opportunity Obammer would instill martial law....
When you get dead (as my kids when they were little used to call it), it won’t be funny!
Meteor impacts are a very real danger. Skeptics seem to have already gone alzheimers on the Chelyabinsk flyby that blasted out windows and injured 5,000 a few months back. That was an air burst 20 miles high. There was NO WARNING, it was not spotted by our half hearted Sky Watch program. If it had been an impact, Chelyabinsk would have been cratered. In the months following Chelyabinsk, around a dozen other flybys occurred. We live in a cosmic shooting gallery.
10,000 years ago a meteor chain and associated debris struck from Central Mexico to the Midwest starting a short lived ice age and wiping out almost all live on the continent. This is no freaking joke.

100 years ago a meteor exploded over Tunguska, Siberia leveling 800 square miles of forest.
The only reason this danger is being suppressed and ridiculed is because we couldn’t have our leftist scientists and nuclear disarmament pacifists admitting that our ICBM nuclear arsenals are the ONLY defense we have at present.
Wake up.
The right size meteor could be just what we need. Enough of a catastrophe to put meaning back in the idea of class. Specifically, the landless underclass will parish without a place to grow turnips.
