This Week's Sign of the Apocalypse: Kucinich's Article of Impeachment
Sometimes it seems like everything we hear from our politicians fills us with existential despair — and that’s just the Obama campaign. But as I show in my new book Apocalypse How, the hastening end-times shouldn't be grounds for pessimism. Rather, we can choose to look at our soon-to-be-ended-world as half-unfucked, teeming with time, opportunities, and most likely, cockroaches. Protein-rich, delightfully crunchy cockroaches. See? It's all in how you look at it through the jaggedly carved eyehole in your bunker. So take a load off, put a smile on (and ideally, some combination of lead and Kevlar), and enjoy this harbinger of your exciting new life to come:
SIGN: Congressman Dennis Kucinich's article of impeachment will get a committee hearing, but not about removing Bush from office.
WHY THAT'S A SIGN: Having exhausted every other possible remedy to undo the Bush legacy, Kucinich is forced to summon his alien friends down to do the job. They begin by wiping out Iraq, New Orleans and Texas.
WHAT TO EXPECT: That last action violates Starfleet's lesser-known Secondary Directive: "No interference with the un-messed state of Texas." A multi-species platoon attacks the original invading aliens, turning the entire Earth into a smoldering galactic battlefield (the first-ever war even Dick Cheney can't get out of).
WHY THAT'S GREAT NEWS: Starfleet reparations totally sweet.
Each week, Daily Show writer Rob Kutner, author of the book Apocalypse How (on sale now!), reminds us that the world is about to end…and why we should be psyched.

In honor of Kucinich's articles of impeachment, I am inviting everyone to my art performance peice called "The Im-BLEACHment of George W. Bush" where I will be inviting members of the public to toss small vials of diluted bleach on a 50" wide photograph of George Bush, until his image completley disappears in a visual exorcism.
This is happening on Oct 3, 2008,at 8pm in Las Vegas on the corver of Casino Center and E. Charleston Blvd, during the monthly Arts Celebration called First Friday. Goggles and lab coat provided. To see examples of other bleached photos go to my website at http://www.dianebush.net and click on "WARHEADS" . See you there!
doesnt Viacom pwn Comedy Central?…o ya…now it ALL makes sense…;)
agreed, i thought comedy central was cool before…what a bunch of idiots. get your shit together
If you care about Freedom, Life, & Happiness;
If you are against corruption, fear/terror, and Misery (from exploitation); then you will support Kucinich's impeachment articles and stop making immature uninformed jokes. Kucinich is as much a wacko as George Washington.
abosolutely ludacrous buddy…
bush and cheney are going to initiate martial law and attack us yet again like 9/11 if they aren't removed…before october things will continue to grow dim and then we'll all see how much we've been tricked and lied to. Bush must be impeached and imprisoned before we all really stand no chance.
At least Kucinich is standing up for the lazy and dumb americans who have no clue whats really going on. I feel nothing but pity for you- as you cannot truly see the light. What we need is ufo's, because that will at least get us out of iraq.
Kucinich is the last true uncorrupt politician (like Ron Paul) and you criticize him unfairly. You mind as well vote for bush again. You should be ashamed.
Dear Mr. Kutner,
Disparaging the only leader in Congress with the balls to fight the fascism that is destroying our constitutionally limited democratic republic is not FUNNY.
Grow up. I TOO have seen a UFO. So fucking what. Does that make everything else I say background noise?
You should go ahead and do an editorial on why people should support Kucinich. That would show you know your ass from your hole, Comedy Central.
