Things That Are True: Guns, Abortions, 2012...

The debate on gun control is over. The Republicans won. The Democrats are not going to take your guns away. You're still hearing about it because there are a number of people who make money by keeping you afraid of losing your guns. Stop being manipulated.

The abortion debate is also over. Roe v. Wade will not be overturned in the foreseeable future. There is still some discussion in the peripheral cases (being able to get an abortion without parental consent, late-term abortions, etc), but that's not to be confused with the legality of abortion still being in question. That said, the billboards all along the highway are totally changing my heart and mind and not making pro-lifers look like assholes at all.

It's not worth watching the Super Bowl for the commercials. There will be two or three gems and the rest will suck. Every year you tell your friends how underwhelming they were and conveniently forget how disappointed you were. You're warned. Speaking of warnings...

The world is not going to end anytime soon. It didn't end in the year 2000, it won't end in 2012. After it hasn't ended in 2012, it won't end whenever they say it will next. People have been prophesying the end of the world for centuries. Have they been right yet? Why should they start now? When the world ends, we won't see it coming.

Also, when the world ends, you won't survive. You will be taken out with the first wave of casualties. As will I, and everyone you know. And we'll be lucky for it.

These are all things that are true.

I don't know about you, bud, but I'm living past the first wave of the zombpocalypse. Of course, my long term plan is to live long enough in a zombpocalypse to start my own religion/theocracy, with me as the God King of the Zombies. Do you want Paraguay when I rule the world?
