1902 Mayan Condemnent

Not long ago those of us who embrace the end of times were once again sore disappointed. Having been let down by various revelationists of the Christian persuasion, unable to ride the comet in black Nike tennis shoes, and even denied our millennial computer-geddon of Y2K, we had pinned great hopes on the Mayans and their apocalypse.
Although their new dance craze, the apocalypso, was fun.
Turns out it was just turning a calendar page for the old Middle Americans. And by Middle Americans I mean the ones actually in the middle of the American continents, not the mentally incontinent ones in the middle of the U.S. of A.
I was interested to note what beliefs recent polls reveal some folks who consider themselves "real" Americans hold true.
Like this interesting factoid. Recently President Barack Obama was reelected to his second term by the traditional electoral college. With 332 votes to Mitt Romney's 206. (Bush and Kerry, BTW, were 286 to 251) Three Republican Electors from Arizona, however, registered objections, insisting that President Obama had never submitted a "legitimate" birth certificate.
You'd think they'd learn their lesson about using the word legitimate.
But hey, as we all know in our hearts, belief has no truck with facts.
Consider this. 49% of folks who "call" themselves Republicans think that ACORN stole the election. Even though ACORN closed its doors in 2010. Perhaps they're not right about being Republicans either.
So it's no surprise fully 12% of our populace believed the Mayans were right and the world would end on December 21st.
They believe we've all gone to hell in a hand basket anyhow. Why not one woven by the Mayans?
Sadly, it didn't come, and now we're all feeling a little listless, with no sense of purpose. I believe they call it Mayannaise.
America, ya gotta love it.
