Roughly 13 percent of Americans think extinction via “Giant Meteor” would be preferable to electing Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump the next U.S. commander in chief.
“It’s a simple reality that both of this year’s Presidential candidates are unpopular. Clinton’s favorability is 39/54, and Trump is even worse off at 35/58,’ the pollster’s report reads.
“This has given rise to the ‘Giant Meteor for President’ movement, and we find that the Meteor would poll at 13 percent — far more support than the third party candidates actually on the ballot

There is no reason, in theory, that one could not buy a Picasso masterpiece and pay for it in coffee, or in coffee futures, or in barrels of West Texas Intermediate crude. But most sellers, and most buyers, prefer currency — a restaurant in Austin has a sign proclaiming that it “proudly does not accept the American Express Card, Visa, MasterCard, checks, chickens, or pesos.” Dollars do not have any inherent value; as my favorite presidential candidate, the mighty Cthulhu (“Why Vote for a Lesser Evil?”) put it, dollars are merely “pieces of green paper backed solely by religious dogma.” (Cthulhu’s fiscal policy? “He permits his devotees to collect as much paper in as many colors as they happen to like.”). . . .
I found this curious. Kevin’s preferred candidate is Cthulhu? Don’t get me wrong, I get the appeal. Cthulhu gets things done. He doesn’t pander. He certainly seems to believe in a kind of sound-money policy (by the way, I’m using the masculine pronoun for convenience, not descriptive accuracy; Cthulhu is beyond sex and gender). But Cthulhu poses some problems as a presidential candidate. The first that comes to mind is that he is evil.
I should note that the claim that Cthulhu is evil has actually sparked some controversy on Twitter. Some of his devotees tell me that he’s beyond mortal conceptions of evil which, of course, is what evil people always say. Moreover, his campaign slogan is “Why vote for the lesser evil?” Is he lying? Will he be a flip-flopper, refusing to follow through on his platform of full-spectrum evil? The last thing this country needs is an EDINO — Evil Deity In Name Only. No, I take him at his word.
Call me old-fashioned, but even though I take a back seat to no one in appreciating the appeal of a cleansing fire that shall sanitize this corrupt husk of a planet, choosing evil still strikes me as morally problematic.
There are other issues. For example there’s a major church–state problem here. The Cult of Cthulhu is “an organization of humans who are convinced that Cthulhu’s return is inevitable and work to hasten it. They foresee a time when Cthulhu will rise up and rule over Earth, and mankind will cast aside concepts of civilization and inhibition. Chaoswill ensue, and men will revel in their most base instincts.”
I for one think we have enough base-instinct reveling going on, and replacing public-sector unions with Cthulhu cultists strikes me as, at best, a modest improvement. Also, this strikes me as an argument for one-worldism, which we here at NR have historically rejected.
I could go on, but I’m sick of negative campaigning. We have too much of that in our politics today.
I suggest that for the principled conservative looking to chuck it all in and give up, there’s only one candidate with the credentials and philosophy the times require. I’m referring, of course, to the Sweet Meteor of Death, Smod to his friends.
Smod describes himself as a “pre-cambrian conservative.” He has no cultists looking to rule in his name. He doesn’t endorse evil, merely the sweet release of planetary destruction. While Cthulhu can be a bit of windbag, Smod makes no speeches, he makes no sounds at all as he glides through the cosmic ether. Calvin Coolidge looks loquacious by comparison. Meanwhile, Cthulhu’s will is unpredictable, he vows chaos and anarchy here on earth. Smod provides what the market demands: certainty, predictability, and simple rules for a complex society. Who knows what Cthulhu will do tomorrow? With Smod there is no tomorrow. He has the single-minded focus only a cold and soulless inanimate object can provide.
Last, Smod is real. We don’t know when he’ll get here, but odds are he eventually will. Sure, “Why Choose the Lesser Evil?” is a great bumper sticker, but aren’t we tired of fakes who fail to deliver? To borrow a phrase from Seinfeld, Smod is real and he’ll be spectacular (for a fraction of a second. And then silence. Sweet, sweet silence)."
The “Great Bovine Dump Of Death” began on Jan 20, 2009. . .
Classics Illustrated was the most incredible thrill to get when I was a kid. LOVED them. I only had about five or six total accumulated through years of begging... My parents had weird beliefs about kids that wanted things too much.
I bought a bunch of old ones at the comic book store last year, around five dollars each. They’re great.
I had almost all of the Classics Illustrated when I was a kid. Classics Juniors too (the fairy tales).
Positive side to those parental “restrictions”, I got into adult literature that much earlier. When my dad passed away I really wanted his collected Sherlock Holmes stories, because that got me started, struggling with the definition of every tenth word. I can’t understand young people who say they never pick up a book.
If I’M setting trends America is worse off than I thought!!!
I won’t say what I wish that meteor of death would land on.
Persuasive on foreign policy, for sure. ;-)
Three guesses?
Maybe it could be a friendly Giant Meteor.
These are what we euphemistically refer to as unlikely voters. So what they think isn’t worth worrying over. They likely didn’t vote in 2012 and won’t vote this year.
Unfortunately the nominee may not be Hillary. The Dems have replaced their nominee in the past, even after the election process has started (remember New Jersey). The Media has smeared Trump and painted him in the public’s eye as causing violence, even though those guilty of violence are the Socialist Left. They paint him as a Nazi, purposely forgetting that Nazis were socialist.
The general electorate will fall for the lie, and end up voting for a liberal leftest, who then will select Supreme Court nominees who will follow the socialist line, and destroy our Republic.
Even the gossip rags are now demonizing Hillary. When that happens, the Dems will look at Elizabeth Warren, Al Gore, Kerry, or some other socialist, who has popular appeal and the public will turn to for "safety" from the "Evil Trump". Hopefully the American Electorate will see through this and select Trump, to restore our American Republic.

That’s how large numbers work, especially when that large number grows between every election. With 320 million people in the country it’s quite possible for somebody to get the most votes ever AND be in a 3 way tie with Hillary and global obliteration. Throw out about 65 million people as too young to vote or matter, even if he gets the 75 million somebody projected that still leaves 180 million to NOT vote for him. Large number math is fun.
Metioning meteors...
Came across a story you can download and read for free about a Puerto Rican guy in 1988 who supposedly beamed up by a UFO and shown a huge meteorite would hit the earth near Puerto Rico. Lots of seismic activity would follow.

Pages 40 and 46 are the most important to read.
In it he says even the elites would get destroyed even though they try to survive on an artifical, floating island. I googled ‘floating island’ and found this.

Back in 2010 there was some Christian pastor who said that a big meteorite some 5 to 6 miles wide would hit the Earth near PR, but never gave a date. He reiterated his stance last year.

What’s even more interesting than that is the statistics on the amount of meteors/fireballs reported. Back in 2005 it was around 920. In 2015 it was over 9,200 - a 10 fold increase in 10 years. 2016 looks like it will have even more reports.
