It's nice to see the mainstream media finally stepping up to the plate and asking the questions the crazy guy in the subway station will only schitzophrenically mumble, to paraphrase The Daily Show. MSNBC recently ran an article titled Apocalypse, Now? that, with a straight face, cites websites like RaptureReady.com as it questions whether recent natural disasters are evidence that the Judgment Day is nigh.

But MSNBC isn't the only news organization with an abundance of gravitas. CNN recently asked Jerry Falwell whether the End was near, assuming his self-proclaimed direct connection to God made him an expert. And to add a degree of professionalism, Jerry Falwell was countered with the new CNN faith and values correspondent.

Yes, that is her real title. Things like this are why Jon Stewart has a job.
