Paula Zombie asks: "Is Armageddon just around the corner?"
WTF? Not too long ago, any "respectable" journalist (not that Paula falls in that category) would be viewed as having taken leave of his/her senses for even asking a dumbass question like that on a national TV station.

1. Some wise person a long time ago called her a "professional
hairdo." I can't top that.

7. I don't think that was a rhetorical question.
I think she was actually asking the audience, hoping someone would contact her and let her know.

There's always the possibility that Armageddon has already started, and being that it IS CNN, no one there would have a clue.

Someone should call her and tell her: "Yes, Armageddon started somewhere between your special on toenail fungus and Dr. Gupta's piece on obesity in American children. DIDN'T YOU KNOW?!!!?"

10. it was actually a decent piece
Edited on Mon Jul-24-06 08:01 PM by Cush
in two parts, first had video of preachers talking about how its the end, blah blah blah......then they had a few people on to talk about it, and how it (Revelation) is not meant to be taken literally and how people at other times also believed that they were in the "end times", and how right now people read it as Christians being attacked by Islam, but at other points people thought it was the Romans (since it was written around 90 AD...i think), Catholic Church, etc....

also mentioned the dangers of taking it literally and mixing it with politics (but not much detail, just kind said it was dangerous to do so)
