Harold Camping, the civil engineer-tuned-radio evangelist who predicted the Rapture would occur this past Saturday, says he's "flabbergasted" that nothing happened at the expected hour of judgment.

The only thing that flabbergasts me is that countless respectable media outlets wasted ink, airtime and Web space covering this obvious loon.

And, for the record, the world will end when God decides to end it, not when Harold Camping or some other huckster says God will end it.
