At least three of the presidential candidates (Cain, Bachmann, Perry) claim that god has told them they should run for president. Sounds like bullshit to me. It also sounds like God can't decide either.

Don't trust anyone who says they talk to god other than your spiritual advisor/preacher/whatever. Definitely don't trust it coming from a politician's mouth!

I also say it doesn't matter. They all want flat tax plans that are a tax cut for the rich and a tax increase for the poor, and that is not going to solve our problems. It will make them a lot worse. A simple tax plan does not mean it is a fair one!

I've got bad news for everyone. YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!

Yup. Me too!

It will happen, mark my words. It really isn't worth worrying about though. It is kind of like going to the dentist, to work, or to the bathroom. You're going to have to do it eventually, so you really shouldn't focus on it or become obsessive about it. Just go with the flow. Allow the movie of your life to unfold during those times when you have no control.

Now I'm not saying be careless or anything. Also do take some control when you can. But don't fret about the stuff you cannot control, including your eventual demise, and hope that a song such as this is playing as your plane plunges into the ocean. It is really quite upbeat for such an event, and thus better than some other "last song" possibilities I think…

e.g. Frédéric Chopin's Marche funèbre for piano in C minor, Op. 72 No. 2
