Lots of coverage of NASA deciding it had to debunk the more apocalyptic 2012 theories. The SFGate decided to excerpt some of the Q&A, ending with this:

“Nothing bad will happen to the Earth in 2012 … scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012.”
There you have it. No calamities expected in 2012. What could possibly go wrong in an election year?
