The World Really Ends On July 15 When Voldemort Battles Harry Potter

This should have been obvious to everyone. The release date for the last Harry Potter film will trigger catastrophic events across the globe.

So Harry Camping got a few things wrong. What's a few statistical errors between friends? He is 89 after all and missed the end of the world once already in 1994. He may still be right since the real end in his prediction is October. It's the rapture part where he was a bit off. That may be because the whole idea of rapture was never grounded in Christian traditions. It showed up in American in the late 19th century. No one had ever heard of it before so I think people are being a little picky here. it was a trial balloon.

Harry's gone missing--or maybe he was the only one who experienced rapture. His followers should keep their busses--those were great paint jobs. Not as good as the Teamsters who were protesting in Wisconsin but close enough. I feel sorry for the family who killed themselves and those who spent all their money because the end time was here. But Harry contributed alot to our entertainment leading up to yesterday. Hundreds of great cartoons were produced, newspapers got some fun stories for a few days, animators made great shorts and Rachel Maddow invented a new cocktail for the occasion. We even got explanations about the world's earthquake activities. That's not bad for a foolish idea.

Harry and his wife can always hide from his flock. They have about a hundred million dollars so they can now safely enjoy retirement. Harry Camping might want to bring in some scientists to check on his formula and his calculations. This might help him revise his estimates.

One of my favorite tweets of yesterday was from Rachel Fairbanks in Manhattan who said," Either the rapture isn't happening or all of New York City is going to Hell."

And why do we want to know when the world ends, anyway?

Will this episode lead reporters to ask Mitt Romney whether he believes Jesus Christ is going to return to St. Louis? (I never knew he had once been there.)

Harry Camping could make a comeback by appearing before his disappointed flock and saying he had been born again. It worked for Jimmy Swaggert. It should work for Harry.
