The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow Alert™: A 100 day deadline passes with no correct prediction.

Publication: Sun
Date: 14 March 2011

Where does the time go? It was only 100 days ago when the Sun gave us a 100 day prediction of nuclear war, the Second Coming and a sex scandal in the White House. That's a big Oh For Three in the prediction biz, and I'm going to be a stickler and say a sex scandal in the House of Representatives doesn't even count as a foul tip.

Sadly, among the psychics who predicted these non-events was Nikki, Psychic to the Stars!

I hope the Sun doesn't lose faith in her. The hat, the coat and the eyeliner just scream "psychic powers"!

The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow Alert™: May 21, 2011 passes without a major incident.

This is the twelfth time I've used the label for failed prophecy since the beginning of 2010, but this is only the first time it's actually been a national news story. Dr. Harold Camping fleeced enough of his followers to put billboards up all around the country proclaiming May 21, 2011 as the End of Days and the return of Jesus. Now the day has come and gone and once again Camping has been proven incorrect as he was twice back in the 1990s, back before the Internet was what it is today and his believers were almost entirely confined to the San Francisco Bay Area.

So here's Daddy Warbucks and Little Orphan Annie singing a song and being all positive. As my pal Padre Mickey points out, the people who were caught up in this deserve our sympathy. Some of their lives have been ruined because they believed in a charlatan. The good padre says Christians are also bound to find forgiveness for Dr. Camping, though he admits that is harder.

I'm not a Christian anymore. I agree the followers are in for a hard time and deserve compassion, though I'm not impressed that they were convinced God was going to destroy the earth due to gay rights. On the other hand, the hand that was taking their money, Camping is a scumbag on the level of Donald Trump, and anything bad that happens to him is richly deserved. I do not know his motives other than vanity, but if he can feel shame, let him wallow in it for a while.

The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow Alert™: No sign of an Easter apocalypse.

Publication: Sun
Date: 21 February 2011

Back in February, the Sun told us the stuff to expect in the next 100 days. While the 100 days aren't up yet, they did mention that an apocalypse on Easter would shock the United States.

Well, Easter has come and gone and if there was something shockingly apocalyptic, the lamestream media completely ignored it. Being a heathen Commie bastard who has already lived through ten failed prophecies in the past sixteen months, I'm going to assume that there actually wasn't an apocalypse yesterday.

All of you end of the world fans can take heart that the end of the 100 days on this prophecy coincides with Dr. Harold Camping's specific warning about May 21, 2011, which is less than four weeks away now.
