"It's Like These Four Guys On Horses. They Say They're From The 'Alpaca Lips," or Something..."

Great Mullings today in which Rich Galen notes the ominously convergent stories of Britney Spears' meltdown, Anna Nicole Smith's demise and an asteroid forcast to take out an England-sized chunk of Planet Earth in 2036.

What do these events have in common? Why the U.N.'s utter inability to stop any of them, of course.

And speaking of such things, if you want to practice up on your own astroid-stopping skills, scoot on over to Michele's. You'll be glad you did. So will we all.

Alpaca Lips. Somehow I knew that camelids would be involved in the whole thing.
