Earth Exploding?

My favorite quote so far this day.  Context: The National Enquirer of supermarket tabloid fame is submitting its John Edwards stories for a Pulitzer Prize.  Thus spoke the executive editor of that fine publication:

I think the members of the mainstream media would rather see the earth explode first than to reward us with a Pulitzer Prize. 

Yeah, that about sums it up.  Hell freezing over.  Earth exploding.  Glenn Beck awarded sainthood.  Any of these seem reasonable alternatives.
