is there a snooze button?
When Bush admitted the Iraq war isn’t really going well, I got a little worried because it was so out of character. Bush admits (sort of) that he effed up? What’s next? Armaggedon? And now, the Doomsday Clock moves forward two minutes. When it gets to midnight, it’s all over. Yep, armageddon. Professor Stephen Hawking — he of robo-voiced, smartest-human-being-on-earth fame — spoke at the ceremony:
As we stand at the brink of a second nuclear age and a period of unprecedented climate change, scientists have a special responsibility once again to inform the public and advise leaders about the perils that humanity faces.
Hey, don’t worry Stevie — we have a full five minutes left!
Oh, I almost forgot! If you’re interested in television, my friend James, senior reporter for TVWeek, is blogging live from the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour. It’s funny and informative! You know, since none of this Doomsday stuff is worrying most of us. Five minutes!
