Jack, how about we put some of our "high tech" knowledge to work along
with our surplus nuclear missiles and zap the sucker.  What does a nuclear
explosion in space do?  Have we ever tried it?  

If that is not an option, drink-up and enjoy life while you can.  Throw
the party to end all parties and take lots of long vacations and put it
on your credit cards. It's not likely they will get their money afterwards! :))
If the comet or asteroid misses, at least the credit card companies can't
kill you!
