* Oklahoma experiences its worst earthquake on record
* Alaska experiences its worst storm on record
* Some of the most highly respected leaders in the US Collegiate system have been implicated in a child rape/sex-slave scandal, rocking the entire country and sparking violent riots
* Speaking of riots, several major cities around the world are experiencing violent riots
* Iran is now on the verge of producing nuclear weapons
* The USA is currently selling a huge supply of bunker-buster bombs to Saudi Arabia, in an apparent ploy to have Arabia bomb Iran
* Russia and China are essentially warning the rest of the world not to lay a finger on Iran
* Israel is poised, finger on the button, to ignite a war in the Middle East and launch an attack on Iran


And that's over the past couple of days... not to mention that Greece and then Italy, are in line to go belly up and send the entire world economy into a complete tailspin.

Looks like things are going quite well.


Good night, and... sweet dreams.

Eight bullet points only? C'mon, Sumy the Kid in the black hat,

you must be packing a few more rounds in your holster.

Well sure. Give me a 2 or 3 week span and I could fill the monitor with bullets.

Like the other guy said, it's all happened before though, so, no big deal.


Bottoms up! 😵

It may have happened before, but not quite like this. People everywhere are having bad feelings about this, and are waiting for the other shoe to drop.

More like "Things are going to hell in a handbasket" if you ask me.

True. In the past we also had the black death and smallpox to contend with.

Someone even wrote a song about it and it was sung by the Kingston Trio.

The Merry Minuet: Sheldon Harnick

They're rioting in Africa. They're starving in Spain. There's hurricanes in Florida, and Texas needs rain.
The whole world is festering with unhappy souls. The French hate the Germans, the Germans hate the Poles.
Italians hate Yugoslavs, South Africans hate the Dutch. And I don't like anybody very much!

But we can be tranquil and thankful and proud, for man's been endowed with a mushroom-shaped cloud.
And we know for certain that some lovely day, someone will set the spark off... and we will all be blown away.

They're rioting in Africa. There's strife in Iran.
What nature doesn't do to us... will be done by our fellow man.
