I haven't seen this on the Recent List, so I apologize if someone else has already posted it, but I just found out from Twitter than a giant meteor the size of 7000 Rush Limbaughs is going to hit Earth for a few hours and possibly wipe out all life as we know it. I'm unclear as yet as to the implications for DK 4.0 and the netroots generally. More on the story as it develops. I have to go to work so someone else can cover it. Someone should probably set up a liveblog.
It's Obama and Reid and Pelosi's fault! (12+ / 0-)
If we had just held stronger to our beliefs and not caved into the Republicans, this meteor would not be about to hit us!

It's the Democrats fault! (3+ / 3-)
The Democrat Party bertayed the American people! I'm glad it's gonna be destryoed!

having misspelled "betrayed" as "bertayed"! Ha ha ha!
People will be talking about that one for years! OK, maybe hours.

How the hell did you post (1+ / 0-)
that just one second after I posted the diary?
Does anyone know how to make up a water purification kit?
I'd check the rest of the Internet, but I only read this site.

If people here hadn't attacked Obama (12+ / 0-)
so much he would have been able to deflect this meteor. It's your fault we're gonna die!

Obama didn't want to stop the meteor! (10+ / 1-)
The metero serves the interests of the croparate class that Obanma serves!
by Oh No Not a Troll Not Me on Sat Jan 16, 2010 at 1:10:44 PM PST
Look, that's a very interesting perspective (1+ / 0-)
but shouldn't we be spending our time doing something other than arguing?
Like, figuring how we can deflect the meteor or at least survive it?

Don't bother (10+ / 0-)
This place has been taken over by trolls from FDL, TNR, MLW, RFK, and CIA.

It's no longer possible to talk about these issues (12+ / 0-)
on Daily Kos. This site is nothing like it used to be. It's hopeless.

I know that a lot of people feel that way... (1+ / 0-)
But come on, there's still a lot of good discussion and good ideas here.
Plus, we can help activate each other to useful things, like planning and organizing.

How does it feel to be a sucker (2+ / 0-)
duped by Obama and his meteor-impact-loving masters?
Do you feel STuPID YET, SUCKER???

Look, if a meteor is going to hit us (1+ / 0-)
I just want to make sure that we've done what we can to prepare.
I don't think that that makes me a sucker.
by Seneca Doane on Sat Jan 16, 2010 at 1:15:33 PM PST
Sorry, but you ARE a sucker (3+ / 0-)
This is all about health care!
You'd know that if you were paying attention!
Obama has lost the people's faith, so the meteor will destroy us!
by Beckus Dickus on Sat Jan 16, 2010 at 1:15:59 PM PST
Stop criticizing Obama! (13+ / 0-)
He is much smarter than you and would never hurt us!
by I Heart Tuvok on Sat Jan 16, 2010 at 1:14:02 PM PST
Could we focus on the meteor? (1+ / 0-)
Seriously, there's work to be done.
Someone in another comment suggested iodine for water purification.

This place has been taken overrun by trolls. The meteor can only improve it.

Obama thinks that the meteor will help him! (6+ / 1-)
He is all about 20123!

So long as the trolls on this site (5+ / 0-)
Are destroyed along with the rest of the earth, you'd have to call that a mixed result.

I don't even know what to say to that (0+ / 0-)
We all know that we have some meta problems here.
But we've had them before and survived. Anyway, DKos is not the world.
I don't know why we don't seem to be hearing about this on the news.
But I think we can assume that Obama is working on it in good faith.
It doesn't matter whose fault it is. It may not be anyone's fault.
In any case, people can't claim that a coming disaster validates their viewpoint.
That's sort of like Pat Robertson blaming Haiti's earthquake on a pact with Satan.
You may be right or wrong, but you can't prove it either way.
And you surely can't expect that your opponents in argument will agree with you.
At times like this, you just have to figure out what you can do personally.
How you can contribute to improving and protecting the world.
How you can make the world a better place.
We're here to help one another do that.
I don't know if or how well we'll survive this disaster.
I do know that there's little point in arguing about it now.
No one will convince anyone else anyway.
Now is a time to work.
