This is the actual cover of Time magazine from June 19, 1972.

The other night I was surfing the internet (as is my late night custom) and I stumbled upon a website that made reference to some vague doom and gloom prophecy having to do with the election of President Barack Obama. 

Since I have an inquiring mind and never let the opportunity to get riled up over religious crap pass me by, I decided to fire up The Google.  I was shocked to find that there are actually quite a few entertaining–and conflicting–prophetic theories about our newly inaugurated leader:

This person assures us that, while Obama will have a hand in ushering in the apocalypse, he is not actually the Antichrist.  (Whew!)

Another site has an outdated prophecy about the 2008 Presidential Election and Obama's chances of winning which isn't really a prophecy as much as it is an op-ed piece.

Now THIS one is juicy.  It's from the Church of God News which tells us that the U.S. is doomed to destruction in about four years, and quotes both the bible and some Kenyan prophecy which claims that Obama is going to help bring us down.  (Here's more on the Kenyan prophecy)

THEN I found out that even Nostradamus had it out for poor Prez-O!

But what really got me going is that I found out Obama is actually the fulfillment of some ancient (yet newly discovered) MUSLIM PROPHECY!  (As a Muslim, I was naturally quite surprised to find this out.  I guess
you learn something new about your religion every day, eh?) 

Well, if you think that's exciting, you must view this video, which is literally chock full o' prophetic wisdom about Obama, Muslims, and the end of the world.

But it's not all bad!  There are some people who believe that Obama is actually fulfilling a GOOD kind of prophecy. 

This person, for example, believes he is the the fulfillment of a prophecy by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  And the International Branch of the Lion of Judah claims that, even though Obama's election is a sign of the end of time, he's actually here to help us.

This person has revealed that Obama and Ben Franklin are both being used by Christ to help prepare us for Armageddon.

And this article claims that Barack Obama is the fulfillment of a 2,500 year old prophecy and the proof of God's Blessing on African Americans.

You know something?  I think I'm going to take up prophesying.  I'm just as qualified as anyone else, wouldn't you say?  Get ready, ya'll.  I'm feeling PROPHETIQ!

I am sickened by not only the wanton destruction of innocent human life in Gaza, but by the callousness that I see in so many people who refuse to acknowledge what a crime it is.  I ask you which is better:

THE contraceptive pill is polluting the environment and is in part
responsible for male infertility, a report in the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano said on Saturday.  Read full article here…

First, Rod Blagojevich 'shocks' news media personalities and pundits by cussing up a storm during his
illicit phone interviews as he was trying to sell Obama's vacant senate seat for a profit.  Now, don't get me wrong, I think Blago is an ass monkey with really bad hair–but it seemed that people were just as upset by his recorded furtive phone call cussing as they were by his federal crimes.  

///laughs at muslim kids wearing the burqa who talk like they're trailer trash and swear like mofos but proclaim that they're good muslims to anyone who'll listen. Hypocritical much?
