But it ain’t over:
Sunday Morning Open Thread
__
Since the Rapture has failed us, again, guess we’re stuck dealing with Mississippi flooding that will last “well into June” — just in time for melting “record snowpacks” to potentially flood the West “from Montana to New Mexico and California to Colorado”. Welcome to the New Normal, a/k/a “The Century of Disasters“!

Soooo… now that we’re all properly chastened, what’s on the agenda for this Sunday morning?
It’s 6pm Saturday in New Zealand…
It’s not called Christchurch for nothing…
ETA:
Auckland Catholic Church spokeswoman Lyndsay Freer told NZPA church attendance had not increased at all since Camping’s warnings.
She described his prediction as ”scaremongering nonsense”, that had nothing to do with scripture.
”We’re not superstitious here.”
There was no indication in the Bible for when the Apocalypse would strike, she said.

As I stated elsewhere, if the rapture really does happen, we want Pig Pen and Lowell George back. Otherwise, just leave us alone.
And yes, we are listening to Little Feat. Isn’t that what everyone does at 2 am?
Open Thread – Und beschworst darin die Bösen …
Some of you may recall that I foolishly committed to live blogging Erick Erickson’s interview with Donald Trump.
Today I received an email cancelling the interview:
Dear Webcast Registrant,
As you may have heard, our webcast with Donald Trump was canceled. On Monday, Trump announced he is not seeking the Republican nomination for the presidential race in 2012.
We plan to host a series of webcasts in the coming months with presidential candidates. So stay tuned and we’ll inform you as soon as we lock in the dates.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Sincerely,
Erick Erickson

Voting update:
If you haven’t been paying attention, this highly scientific “poll” allows a concerned person of the Tea Party persuasion to vote in a series of head to head contests between candidates. It also shows you little descriptions of their current position and qualifications so you can choose wisely, such as:
Pres. Barack HUSSEIN Obama: Foreign national, darkie and Mussulman fraudulently elected as President. Served three weeks of a Senate term after being appointed due to unconstitutional affirmative action.
Rep. Paul Ryan: U.S. Representative for Wisconsin’s 1st (and best) congressional district, serving since 1999. Wise and politically courageous. Philosophically well-grounded, a passionate and scrappy advocate for his views. Personally modest and unpretentious rather than arrogant and morally preening. Paul enjoys cosmopolitans, abolishing public healthcare and getting caught in the rain.
The polling methodology is:
designed to elicit deeper preferences from voters and make it much more difficult for well-organized campaigns to “game” the system
If you have been paying attention, you will note that the leading candidates, and their “win” percentages, as displayed in the updated picture are exactly the same as they were 24 hours ago. I checked in occasionally and can tell you they have not changed once during that 24 hour period. This is a clear indicator of both the accuracy of the polling methodology and the clear voting preferences of those of us who are voting to save the world from the scourge of having a black man in the White House the evil socialist oppressors.

I’m 92 and I don’t get out much. What else should I be listening to?
ETA: This one got lost on the “Bitching” thread, so I’m going to shamelessly plug it again.
