So what do the next 27,000 years hold for us?

Take a look back to see what's ahead.

At the beginning of the previous aeon, both dinosaurs and a primitive hominid coexisted quite happily.

However just around the corner was an event- still unclear- which set the tone for the whole 27,000 year spree.

From that basic furry human stock came neanderthal, cro magnon, alien-interfered point heads, and the whole real tree of the human race from faerie to pixie to halfling to human to ogre to troll to giant.

Then came the cataclysms- three in that span of time- to burn, flood and destroy with wild animals all that had been.

And here we are right at the start of the same carnage all over again!

Enjoy.
 

Keep Calm And Finish Him

Cue the “60 Minutes” video. Or not.

In a passionate post today, Bret Baier of Fox News hammers CBS News for waiting till Nov. 4 to post a bit of video quite relevant to all of this. In it, Steve Kroft of “60 Minutes” asks the president about Benghazi. The question was posed on Sept. 12, the same day of the Rose Garden address:

KROFT: Mr. President, this morning you went out of your way to avoid the use of the word terrorism in connection with the Libya Attack, do you believe that this was a terrorist attack?

OBAMA: Well it’s too early to know exactly how this came about, what group was involved, but obviously it was an attack on Americans. And we are going to be working with the Libyan government to make sure that we bring these folks to justice, one way or the other.

The president’s response packs it all: 1) Avoidance of the question; 2) refusal to use the term “terrorism”; 3) reliance on talking points about bringing people to justice. In other words, big news.
