The End of Days.

So, it's no news that Palin belongs to an apocalyptic church, Alaska's going to be a last refuge for people during the end of days and whatnot, and that's going to happen in our lifetime so why worry about global warming, or anything else for that matter. Ok. She's a nutjob.

But.

But it's been brought to my attention the end of days, at least for our nation may be closer than we thing. Article was published in the Washington Times today about constitutional scholars speculating on an electoral college doomsday, a tie at 269-269.

In a system even more unrepresentative than the electoral college, the president would be decided by the House (Democratically domintated, thankfully) each state only getting one vote , and the VP selected by the senate.

A deadlocked senate, if Li'l Joe sides with his friends in selecting Palin, and the current VP, Cheney breaks the tie, we immediately get Palin for VP.

So that's an Obama-Palin presidency. There have been a few speculations that the house might be dragged into a bitter fight, with Democrats serving in states that voted for McCain having crises of conscience (though I don't know how).

With the debate drawn out, we could have Palin serving as our acting president with McCain still breathing somewhere out in Arizona.

With the country so bitterly divided in this mess, it's only a matter of time before this ignites into something worse, and we watch our nation sink into oblivion.

If given a choice, I'd prefer Hawaii as my refuge state.
