Tim Russert Died

For those who watch the news, not many of you I'm assuming, Tim Russert died today after a massive heart attack. He was a really good guy, a straight shooter in the world of news reporting.

Wow, that fucking blows. This is the first I'd heard about it.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/25146992#25146992 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/25146085#25146085 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/25147365#25147365
The man has always had my utmost respect for his no bullshit, honest reporting. He loved his job, and he did it better than anyone else I know. He will be missed.
Damnit! He is the only journalist I would go out of my way to support and express my admiration for. His death in and of itself isn't what has me so sad, but the loss of such a powerful, intelligent, committed, and above all else HONEST reporter. I have trouble coming to terms with how our often scandalous media can afford such a loss.

I always hoped that advancements in medicine would take care of most problems by the time I was old enough to have to worry about them.

True. When I'm 58, it will be 2048. The jump in medicine over 40 years is a large one though. I wonder when we will have a cure for AIDS. Although, it's really not going to matter after 2012, AMIRITE?

2012 is sometimes claimed to be a great year of spiritual transformation (or apocalypse). Many esoteric sources interpret the completion of the thirteenth B'ak'tun cycle in the Long Count of the Maya calendar (which occurs on December 21 by the most widely held correlation) to mean there will be a major change in world order. Accordingly, several eclectic authors claim that a major, world-changing event will take place in 2012: The 1997 book The Bible Code claims that, according to certain algorithms of the Bible code, an asteroid or comet will collide with the Earth. The 2006 book 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl by Daniel Pinchbeck discusses theories of a possible global awakening to psychic connection by the year 2012, creating a noosphere. Other prophecies and apocalyptic writings and hypotheses for this year include: Terence McKenna's numerological novelty theory suggests a point of singularity in which humankind will go through a great shift in consciousness.

I'd take all that with a huge grain of salt.

The only thing of any major significance to happen on this upcoming date will be the mass explosion of media hype about something remarkable to happen. Other than this artificial spectacle, nothing out of the ordinary is going to happen. Nothing at all.

I'm sure the New-Agers will claim a "consciousness shift" - whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean. I predict another Y2K, myself.
