Asteroid "Disaster": Another Scare-The-Sheeple Non-Story Bites the Dust

[stopbush]

This story had my MiL all in a tizzy yesterday...to which I told her, "I wouldn't believe it for a second. It's just another scare tactic diversion, probably because * won't give enough aid to the tsunami victims."

It's getting boring to always be right about the bush-paid media whores...


Whew! Asteroid Won't Hit Earth in 2029, Scientists Now Say

The world can exhale a collective sigh of relief. A newfound asteroid tagged with the highest warning level ever issued will not strike Earth, scientists said Monday.

The giant space rock, named 2004 MN4, was said on Dec. 23 to have an outside shot at hitting the planet on April 13, 2029. The odds climbed as high as 1-in-37, or 2.7 percent, on Monday, Dec. 27.

1. Wow, that one

didn't last long. Why do they announce these things without verification?

How many times have they hollered 'wolf' now?

No one will believe them when there IS a legit one.

2. Not that it will matter to you or me

it's not like we can leave the planet or anything. But I guess I would like to know if I only have 25 years to live.
