"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That's not a good thing, you know.
My "aha!" was only (selfishly) concerned with proving I wasn't delusional.

Interesting, Germany is shutting down all seven of its pre-1980 nuclear power plants.
For a safety review in light of the Japanese accident. The worldwide nuclear industry will be going over the Japanese event with a fine-toothed comb.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
"The 2000s experienced some of the worst and most destructive natural disasters in history."
I wonder if part of that isn't that we're all letting our infrastructure go to pot.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ginger, thank you so much for your commentary and perspective. I agree that you should try to get a column published in a blog or somewhere so more people can get this important information and stop freaking the fuck out. I have been trying to calm my doom-and-gloom co-worker for days.

Isn't that a Rapture? How is that going to affect the whole 2012 thingie? Is God trying to upstage the Mayans?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I think climate change covers the worst part and not maintaining and improving on the stuff we built probably covers the most destructive part.
I think that's also why some fringe right wing people would rather say they are acts of an angry god dealing with (pick whichever group they feel like marginalizing today).
