A stubble jumper is a prairie farmer. I'm from Saskatchewan and my dad was a farmer, so the name is apt. "Redneck" needs no explanation. It's anyone who disagrees with a lunatic leftie. My blog is mostly about the Middle East but other issues also catch my eye and get me going. I monitor comments to keep out trolls and lunatic lefties. Anyone who is zealously anti-American and anti-democracy in the Middle East is NOT welcome.

Ever read about the Tunguska Blast? A 1908 asteroid or comet or meteor (scientists still disagree on that question) impact in remote Siberia that flattened an forest area of approx. 50 km. diameter. Subsequent estimations of the Tunguska impact object make it far smaller than the asteroid that just paid us a visit.
There's a chart of similar events in the linked article. Note there have been several significant impacts in Canada, just in the 20th century.
At some point, there's going to have to be a serious global effort to build a space-based deflection system, ready to go. It'll probably take a group of missiles with large nuclear warheads to make it feasible.
Yes, I have heard about it.
I would have thought there was already a space-based deflection system. That's kinda scary that there isn't.
Thanks for the link.
BTW, the asteroid is going to pass us by tomorrow evening at 6:28 PM EST.
