DUmmies cannot believe in "end times". Without a God, or a Saviour, or a heaven, the whole end times/rapture thing is insignificant to DUmmies. To them, the ultimate fate of a human soul doesn't differ from that of a gerbil, or a dust mite.
I think in DUmmyspeak, "end times" is more likely an apocalyptic reference to the democrat party's prospects. Viewed in that context, Palin may indeed represent the "end times".
