The Trouble We Got Coming

Smack dab in the middle of the health care mis-and-dis-information, Haiti had an earthquake that basically took apart a country that was barely glued together, Chile had one that was worse in a country that is better, and we waited for the Tsunami's to hit Hawaii. I'm starting to believe in this Intelligent Design bullshit, but in this case, I think the intelligent designer is a mother named Nature and she is saying, "Wait till they get a load of my shit!'
Now, with Iraq giving hints that the only way to run that country is either a Monarchy or a Dictatorship or a hybrid of both, and with Afghanistan proving itself to the place that Empires go when they get stupid, we are in the midst of something called the Tea Party movement that essentially tells us that all government is bad and that somehow, human beings, left to their own devices, will always do what is right for the greater good, or at least the good that is white and spelling impaired. We've got Glenn Beck, the kind of kid you beat up on the playground should you ever get the chance, and Sarah Palin, who for all the bruhaha about her best selling book, has quickly melted away because the reality of the matter is that her book never really sold all that much and she doesn't have near the following we thought she did when she was doing her book tour. Not when you know NewsMax bought a quarter million copies and sold them on TV for $4.95 a piece. In the shortest amount of time for any over hyped book, it's no longer on the NY Times or LA Times bestseller lists. Well. So much for Sarah.
I guess the point of this is that with all this in my head and with me watching the Chilean shit unravel and while I waited for the Tsunami to hit Waikiki, which is sort of a obesity of vowels, it started to hail in LA. Hail. Stones. In my fucking pool. And right then and there, I thought we might be experiencing The Rapture, and somehow, I might be taken up, cause I have it on good authority that the Lord his or herself will start with the failed Unitarians first. If there is any room in economy left, it'll be The Big Lebowski Facebook Fan Club next.
