As I ponder...

the fact that the Red Sox have won the pennant (is that the correct term?) (a sure sign of the end of days) and the fact that we have a group of religious nutbags (I use that term purely in the technical sense) running the country, I sometimes think it would be very entertaining when we all die to find out that they were wrong and there is no Judeo-Christian god, and that I was wrong and there were gods. What would be entertaining is if we died and found out that actually the Zoroastrians had been right all along. Wouldn't that be amusing?

See, I was worrying a little while ago that the success of the Red Sox was a sign of the end times, and, whether true or not, it would convince even doubters that the end was upon us and thus make them more likely to vote for Bush, because he's into that sort of thing.

Scary thought.

I hadn't thought about that, but I do see your point. This could lead to alarming results on teusday. An entire crowd of voters will vote for him because that end-of-days thing is Bush's bag. An entire other group will vote for him because, given that the end is coming, it won't matter and wouldn't it be funny if he actually won a presidential election. It all just gets worse from there.

Don't forget that there was an eclipse as well...as I was watching that, I was fearful that it would be complete just as the Sox won. That would've been too freaky.

If only there had been several shooting stars seen to pass overhead at a key moment in the game, that would have added a certain something to the whole experience as well.

Around Y2K, I had this theory that G-d was going to end the world, but that He would do it about 2 weeks early, to catch all the people who were out sinning their butts off with the plan of making it all up at the last minute (lots of indulgences/confession/whatever).

Or that He'd do it like three weeks late, just to mess with our minds. Or something.

So, if He was a Red Sox fan, and it took him four years to get around to having them win the pennant...
