I can guess what will happen.
1. They will determine that the asteroid is actually going to hit Earth.
2. NASA and the US military will team up to build a rocket with a nuclear warhead aboard to deflect the asteroid.
3. They will get the rocket built and on the launch pad.
4. 30 seconds before launch the EPA will file an injunction against liftoff on the grounds that the environmental impact study of the effects of the rocket’s exhaust has not been done properly — the document was delivered with a 10-point Helvetica font instead of 12-point Time Roman.
5. It takes two days to get a court to lift the injunction.
6. Rocket launches too late to stop the asteroid from hitting Earth.
7. Asteroid hits Earth, and Obama makes a speech stating we will find who in NASA and the military were responsible for the failure and uses the resulting crisis to increase carbon taxes.

I’m going to earnestly endeavor to walk my fingers forcefully by that assertion without any witty reply.

1870, 1914 and 1940 do support your thesis regarding “monkey screamimg.”

That would be extremely funny if it wasn’t so true! We can’t even make jokes by using extremes while the Leftists have the power. They are living jokes.

If true I want to be at ground zero at impact, drinking a bottle of 20-year-old Pappy Van Winkle bourbon.

seems to me that something that size would definitely alter the earths orbit unless it hit dead on, not to mention it would speed up or slow down it's rotation or change it's direction of rotation all together depending on the angle and distance from the center of mass...

Oh, I don’t know. Sometimes I think it might take something like a Deep Impact to straighten out the mess made by our insane leaders.

Too small to have very much influence. The Moon is around a quarter the diameter of the Earth, and is constantly in pretty close proximity (as astronomical objects go), and is about one percent the Earth’s mass; this little boulder is pretty much nothing, just a kernel of corn in someone’s crap.
Let it HIT the surface, then it would be big trouble. Unless it the impact site were, say, Tehran...
:’)
NICE graphic, Dallas59.
