GOP spokesmen refused to confirm that the vortex had sucked Speaker John Boehner all the way back to 1995.
As soon as I saw this line:
“The US military immediately moved to quash the reports and the mainstream news media dutifully complied.”
I knew the story wasn’t true. Those press bastards would sell us out to Darth Vader for spare parts just for the opportunity to betray us. It’s what they do.
1965? Yeah, baby!!! It’ll be back to “having promiscuous sex with many anonymous partners without protection while at the same time experimenting with mind-expanding drugs in a consequence-free environment!” (HT – Austin Powers)
This is how we’re going to avoid being annihilated when the Mayan calendar expires — the Pentagon (with help from Halliburton, Blackwater and the Koch brothers, obviously) will cause the vortex to consume the earth, and we’ll just re-use the past 65 million years by living through them in reverse.

Now we know who writes The One’s straw-man arguments.
“If not, then it’s something that’s at least 12,000 years old, which is how long ice has covered Antarctica.”
Only off by a factor of 500 – the ice cover is about 6 million years old.
That is some damn fine pure crazy. It would have to be cut a few times to be safe for most of the run-of-the-mill crazies.
I just can’t understand all the sarcastic skepticism about this. Puzzling.
oops.

If it’s January 1965, and my mortgage payment is due on May 1, 2011, then I’ve got 46 years and change to make the payment. Sweet!
On the other hand, since I’m not born yet, it’s legal to kill me. Maybe this isn’t such a good idea.
“…eerie anomalies and incidents over the past few years that sometimes seem to border on the frayed edge of creeping madness.”
Um… What?
Buy some Xerox and IBM…Oh, and 1973 bet the farm on a horse named Secretariat-to win!
Wait!11!1! This must be how The Won is managing to publish his birth notices in the Hawaii newspapers!11!1! and arrange for his COB…
I told ya that Superconducting Supercollider thing was going to be trouble…
#10 – It has to be the Old Ones (H.P. Lovecraft, “At the Mountains of Madness”). My favorite story of H.P.’s and, I think, the author of that humor piece too…
Somebody evidently spent some time reading Charlie Stross. I have it on good authority that the author of the article has already been sent a C&D

Fuggit. Despite all the government tyranny, Meagan McCain blog posts, and an impending remake of Jaws, I ain’t goin’ back to a time of vinyl records and Tang for breakfast.
“The past is fixed, frozen. The future is inchoate, a mass of probabilities. We ride the interface between the two. YEEEEEE-HAH!”
Vinyl records were never part of a complete breakfast.
I find your premise fascinating and plausible, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
dKos would have been my first guess.

WTF is that from? I like that.

There is no end.
There is no beginning.

The comments are a hoot. While some get the joke, most seem to be demanding links to sources (are they serious?)… then there’s this:
If it were impossibly true?

Hmm… sorry about the email link. Maybe I should have checked that cut-n-paste before I posted it.
Did he leave out HAARP, or is it covered by one of those acronomial excretions?
Entropy: “WTF is that from? I like that.”
Couldn’t really say for sure, it popped out of one of the dark corners of my sponge-like mind. Herbert, maybe, or possibly Brunner. It could even be original, but I tend to doubt it.
Hmm, I don’t really know what to think about this until I hear what Time Cube Guy has to say about it. If anyone knows what to make about this, it’s him.
Spiny Norman: Go and see if that person is heavy into astrology and other such stuff. If that guy also has a LARP site ‘tehn you know that teh phantesay ees strong weeth that won’. So to speak.
What is real scary are those people who cannot see the borders between the real world and their very rich D&D or Traveler campaign.
