Hot damn, it’s Friday! Rapture time!

As you all are aware, our loony right-wing-fundamentalist friends at www.raptureready.com publish a weekly “Rapture Index” indicating how likely it is that the Second Coming is, well - coming.

OK, Rapture fans, unbelievable as it may seem, I may have screwed up. According to the bible-bangers, the index last week was 151 vs. what I had as 152. Not likely.

Nonetheless, they say it’s down three to 148. That’s great news unless you’re looking forward to getting their stuff when they disappear heavenward. Remember, the record high is at 182 set the week of September 24, 2001 and the record low is at 57 and was set during the week of December 12, 1993.

The changes were due to a decrease of one in the indices for the Occult, the Peace Process and Beast Government. "Beast Government," right, but you probably guessed that, didn’t you?

If the rapture comes, all the right-wing-fundamentalist-reality-challenged biblebanging bigots will disappear and we’ll get their stuff. That’s surely not a bad thing.

The bad news is that a substantial number of those right-wing-fundamentalist-reality-challenged biblebanging bigoted buttheads are running our nation. These people believe that the rapture is going to happen sooner rather than later, so why not rape the earth.
