... note to self: immanent is not a misspelling of imminent. They are two different words. Immanent means "naturally part of something" or "spread throughout something." Imminent means "about to happen."
In my own defense, I did know the second one before just now. And no, I didn't just make fun of someone on the Internet for not knowing how to spell. Wasn't even close.

And here I was, just about to immanentize my eschaton. Ah well, back to the secular drawing board.
I refuse to believe that phrase didn't originate with either Atrios or The Simpsons.
THERE IS A BUG IN WIKIPEDIA.
I cannot point to the origin, but I first read of it decades ago from the pen of William F. Buckley, Jr., may the goddess grant peace to his corrupt soul.
