Oh crap, what a bummer.

I'm pretty sure this sucker is heading for us because it's attracted to our warmer than usual planet.

Al Gore save us!!!!!!

Astronomers are monitoring an asteroid named Apophis, which has a 1 in 45,000 chance of striking Earth on April 13, 2036.

April is the cruelest month.

The favored approach to dealing with a potentially deadly space rock is to dispatch a spacecraft that would use gravity to alter the asteroid's course so it no longer threatens Earth, said astronaut Ed Lu, a veteran of the International Space Station.

The so-called Gravity Tractor could maintain a position near the threatening asteroid, exerting a gentle tug that, over time, would deflect the asteroid.



So they found a use for Anna Nicole-Smiths body then?

I'm sure the UN's strongly worded letter of reprimand will turn the asteroid away. It will be ready for launch the day after impact.

All of you UN bashers should remember that the UN fails in its mission only because either Russia or the USA veto everything they dislike. This time everyone has common interests and something may actually happen.

Worry not, Bush has a solution... Invade the moon and hire Haliburton to blow it up since they are the only company on the planet that can do the job.

Perhaps they will send some UN observers to monitor and condone the asteroid if it hits earth.

Haliburton must be. Only every administration from both parties in the last 30 years has used them ;)

Is this going to kill us all before or after global warming kills us all?

Can I get a $$$$$ grant to study the effects of asteroid impacts on earth?

Hell, LBJ used Kellog Brown Root in VietNam. KBR is part of Halliburton now. Lady Bird made a shirtload of money in KBR; she was a major stockholder then.

That was OK because... well, you know why.

hope it doesn't interfere with the bird flu, or mad cow disease, or global warming.


if Hillary gets elected we will all be praying for something to kill us way before 2036.

man made global warming... small arms bans... sanctions...  bird flu..and now asteroids...

What to do?   It's all so confusing...

One thing is certain...  the only way to save ourselves is to give our money and our freedom to the UN so some former janitor from a country where they eat each others livers can figure it all out...

You just might be on to something there. At least it would stay in limbo for years and years. :)

KBR was a major global competitor of Bechtel though, during the Reagan years we used Bechtel, Casper Weinberger and George Schultz were on the board of directors and/or CEO for a while.

why do anything at all?   this should be just what the democrats, Al Gore, the UN and Green Peace want,  a kind of cosmic house cleaning.   It will quickly reduce global warming, reduce the planet's population to something more managable, will almost over night eliminate man's dependancy on oil... and electricity, and food,...

True on all points screwey-one...but since it will reduce man's dependency on them as perpetrators and purveyors of the nanny-state they are not too pleased with the prospect.

I think they're more afraid it will land in their backyard and take out the BBQ pit and the jacuzzi.   All I know is if they screw with it they'll make it worse.

We take you now to Reporter Top with the Whitehouse Update on the Asterioid.......

"Thanks Walter....The President today in a bold statement made it very clear that although they are still looking into the proof of the Rock of Mass Destruction , that they were not going to allow Space to have these wepons."

President "This is not going to stand. I have directed the Secratary of Defense and the Nasa Chief of operations to begin working on a plan for this Rock. We cannot and will not stand for Space to have these Rocks of mass destruction. The planets that harbor these rocks should be put on notice. They can either get in the way for us or we will be against them. We will not sit idoly by while this rock hurls itself towards us.

"This is a Galaxy wide war on Rocks. It's that simple. I am the leader of the free world and think I am pretty much of all of it and I'll direct any and all of my resources and some I can scam for other insignificant countries to defeat this new Inter-planatory war on Rocks."

The President went on to say later in a meeting with High ranking diplomats from Iceland , Gauna , Nova Scotia and the Mayor of Wichita that the U.S. and its now 3 allies which now includes small parts of the Bahamas , all of Texas and half of Kansas will be looking at ways of stopping the rock sometime on or about April 1 2036 as part of his World Wide April Fools Joke.

Back to you Walter.
