This month in point-counterpoint, Maya Angelou and a Mayan Priestess weigh in on whether the apocalypse will arrive in 2012, as prophesied by the Mayans millennia ago.

Angelou:

I have written a spell of protection for the earth. It is in the form of a haiku.

Priestess:

Your spell is as ineffective as a Mayan spear against a Spanish cannon. I have interpreted the runes and communed sexually with the sky gods. I also know of this Obama you speak of. He is the destroyer of the worlds and his health care law has sealed your doom.
