If the New York Times is still around then, that'll be the opening paragraph of the story.

out the poor and homeless, particularly minorities and working single mothers

In 800 years there won't be any of that, provided the Dems take the White House next time around. There weren't any poor and homeless, particularly minorities and working single mothers under Clinton's admin were there? No, all these poor and homeless, particularly minorities and working single mothers are Bush's fault. Any Dem will do; Al Sharpton is an excellent choice.

The Spam will be okay unless you got that low-fat, low-sodium nerf-spam.

Well after reading the thread about the guy who wants to prove Jesus was gay and the one about the 6th graders and their right to wear thongs, I can’t say I’d be sad to see it coming.

Surf's up!

I believe civilization is a little more resilient than the new Great Flooders think it is.

"Lucifer's Hammer" by Niven and Pournelle. Read.

At any rate it covers more land area than just NYC and DC. It even goes inland to WestVirginia Byrd.

I'd guess that you've read "Lucifer's Hammer."

>>In 800 years there won't be any of that<<

You understate the case. There won't be any of that because, as history then will show, that the glorious Islamic revolution finally overwhelmed the last hope of evil technology and that godless concept of "liberty" around 2210, when the last legal election was held in the last non-islamic land on earth and Ayattolha Bin-laden Muhammed al-Daschelle (PBUH) was elected. This of course was the fulfillment of many years of using the foe's concept of "political correctness" to ensure all attempts to stop us would be arrested BY THE ENEMY HIMSELF! Such a strategy would never have been possible without the sheep called "liberals" who helped us so much and were mercifully slain in their sleep, as opposed to the torture we gave those who crowed about "rights" (such an abhorrent abasement before Allah) on their way to their punishment for their unpure thoughts.

We shall now take our modern prayer rugs, made from the hair of the giant rats we have been able to capture for food and products and watch the bright light in the sky and the water rise under Allah's hand.

good book

"The question will be for these idiots. Will we awards darwin awards per person, or just one for the entire group."

It will be a unit citation. Probably a "DWC" (Distinguished Wackjob Commendation).
