17. No it won't
The average IQ is, by definition, 100.
What might happen, instead is a tighter standard deviation. In other words, there will be less of a spread in either direction from 100.
What WILL happen, IMHO, is a happier, more fullfilled american people.

7. I was worried
about who would write the books, produce the movies, write the television shows, paint the great artwork, write the timeless music, feed the poor, clothe the homeless...

then I realized. Really. The only thing we're in danger of losing is Nascar.

18. No, no no! Not Nascar!
(BTW, Dr. Nile Crane on Frasier found a book on Nascar and read the title, "The Heroes of 'Na-SCAR". It was one of the funniest moments on that show.)

I know plenty of good ol boy and girl Dem folks who like Nascar. My husband is one of them. When Bush attended a few races, he didn't get the reception he thought he would, either. There were plenty of people ticked, and I think it was Dale Earnhart Jr. that told his pit crew to go see Fahrenheit 9-11.

10. Blondie told us all about the "Rapture"
It'll be something like this...

"Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and it lands on the ground
And out comes the man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night eating cars
You eat Cadillacs Lincolns too
Mercurys and Subaru
And you don't stop
You keep on eating cars
Then when there's no more cars you go out at night
And eat up bars where the people meet
Face to face
Dance cheek to cheek
One to one
Man to man
Dance toe to toe
Don't move too slow 'cause the man from Mars is through with cars
He's eating bars
Yeah wall to wall
Door to door
Hall to hall
He's gonna eat 'em all
Rapture
Be pure
Take a tour through the sewer
Don't strain your brain
Paint a train
You'll be singing in the rain
Said don't stop to the punk rock
Well now you see what you wanna be
Just have your party on TV
Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars where the TV's on
And now he's gone back up to space where he won't have a hassle with
the human race
And you hip hop
And you don't stop
Just blast off sure shot
Because the man from Mars stopped eating cars
And eating bars
And now he only eats guitars"

11. Oh my GOD!
I thought I was the only one who knew the words to Rapture! I've known them since 1981 when the song was new!

14. Wouldn't it be funny if the Rapture came, took all the anti-Bush people,
and left all the bushies and right wing religious fanatics. That could sure be a big suprise.

but I hope they leave the keys in their cars. It will make things so much easier.

23. I've got news for you
"The Rapture" is not biblical, it doesn't exist, and when things devolve to a point where these theoneocons assholes have totally screwed us and the environment over beyond all human sensibility, to the point where THEY expect a Rapture, when one doesn't come to pass they are going to be really pissed off and/or depressed.

Buy lots of Xanax, it will be like Gold in the the pollution caused end of human existence
