Toutatis Passes Without Incident

"According to some conspiracy theorists, the President was supposed to make an announcement on Tuesday night that the world was about to end. And the government supposedly shut down a website that dared to break this news. Toutatis was going to be captured by gravity and impact the Earth, ending all life."

I hadn't heard this bit about W making an emergency announcement. I feel cheated. A desiccated biosphere and mile-high tidal waves in Kansas seem a small price to pay to see W stumble his way through that speech.
