Evangelical Wingnut Snubs Tennessee, Says We're Not Capable of Producing Antichrist

According to Ed Hindson, host of syndicated TV show The King Is Coming (no, it's not about Elvis or LeBron James), our state is too lame to give birth to the Antichrist. The details of the Toronto Star story are sketchy: Apparently there was some sort of Global Warning conference in Cartersville, Ga. (get it? Global Warning!), where evangelical clergy members gathered to map out a strategy for taking on the Antichrist. According to Hindson, they're not sure who the Antichrist is, but they know who he is not:
"Some people say it's President Obama--that's just wild-eyed speculation. It's not Nero, it's not Charlemagne, not Napoleon, not Hitler, Stalin or Kennedy. It's not Khrushchev. I've heard people say it's Al Gore--trust me, nobody from Tennessee is going to conquer the world."
Ouch!

The double whammy! Not only does he feel our already embattled hometown hero lacks the cojones to go full-Satan--he's snubbing the whole state. At least I think it's a snub, right? And this from a guy who is a professor of eschatology at Liberty University, founded by the late Jerry Falwell. In layman's terms, he's a professor of Judgment Day and the End Times. As soon as I finish my Ph.D. in gremlinology, I'll gladly debate him. Anyone who thinks Ol' Rocky Top isn't capable of producing someone conniving, sinister or deceptive enough to bring the entire planet to its knees clearly hasn't been following our state legislature.

I think that JK Rowling is living incognito in Tennessee and will start a new series based on our state's cast of political characters.

Is he a professor of all judgement days and end times? Because Ragnarök trumps Revelation any day of the week. Just ask any metal band. Or Wagner.

Ashley: As we say in the old country, "skjrrád flïrner," which is Old Norse for "True dat."
As I said in the Poetic Edda:
Brœðr muno beriaz
ok at bǫnom verða[z]
muno systrungar
sifiom spilla.
Hart er í heimi,
hórdómr mikill
—skeggǫld, skálmǫld
—skildir ro klofnir—
vindǫld, vargǫld—
áðr verǫld steypiz.
Mun engi maðr
ǫðrom þyrma.
Brothers will fight
and kill each other,
sisters' children
will defile kinship.
It is harsh in the world,
whoredom rife
—an axe age, a sword age
—shields are riven—
a wind age, a wolf age—
before the world goes headlong.
No man will have
mercy on another.
Despite, the impending end of mankind, I at least take solace that whoredom is rife.

See, Ashley, I told you that the Poetic Edda is a much more fun read than the Bible. Once you're done with the Voluspa, skip ahead to the Lokasenna, which is a hoot.

LeBron is amazing. He's already the best player to have ever lived.
