How'd It Miss?

The Bruce line ripping through my head this week comes courtesy of Lucky Day - I've seen good hearts give way to the burdens of the day.

Saw a story about an asteroid that missed the Earth by just 40,000 miles. They say that if it were to hit it would have been like a nuclear bomb going off in the South Pacific. Those in the know never saw it coming either, and they are still concerned because it is still being pulled towards us by the gravitational pull of the Earth.

First off, how the hell did it miss? With everything else going on, what the hell is one more asteroid plummeting to the Earth. I say bring the son-of-a-bitch on - send it straight into Wall Street and the sinking Dow Jones. Or let it hit Rush Limbaugh and bounce back to the heavens.

Seriously, isn't there enough to worry about. The economy, I'm told, will recover in 2012. Just tread water until then. The war in Iraq will conclude in 2010. That's about eight years later than it should have been. And now we're dodging freaking asteroids.

Of course I don't want to be blind-sided by something hammering us to oblivion, but there ain't much we can do about that, right? Especially if we don't see it coming. Those are certainly the things that'll knock you down, right?

I just don't want everyone to go at once because standing in the long line to be judged will be pure hell.

There are mornings (like this morning) where an asteroid actually seems like a good idea...
