Focus on the Fundies: Apocalypse Now

A number of sects, organizations and movements are not only preparing for Armageddon -- they are hoping to hasten it. These include not only nutball Christians and messianic Jews but some Shiites, including Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad -- gee, and he was seeming so rational. The Iranian leader has "spent millions on improvements to make the city more welcoming for the return of a Muslim messiah known as the Mahdi."

Meanwhile, the rest of the population was doing its best to assure the end of the human race and as many other species as possible: a new study reported the Earth is now as hot as it's been for 400 years.

Good thing I live in San Francisco.
