No, the world is not about to end. Just because there's a Communist Muslim tyrant in the White House, a few Islamic nutters running round the Middle East chopping heads off and there's a scary African virus -- that we would have already produced a vaccine for if it hadn't exclusively killed poor African people -- that killed two or three westerners does not the end of the world make.

I'm sure all the evangelicals are freaking out over there though. The rapture index must be redlining right now.
