Brutal honesty from Anderson Cooper
A party not fit for commoners
The Royal wedding day ends with bacon butties and fry ups at a late night party of 300.. drinks on Harry. He best hope no one has a camera for the embarrassing moments ..
The hatless woman.. A scandal worthy of .. Well, very little attention
But since once real news reporters are now gossiping about it, so too does this site: it’s true, David Cameron’s wife did not wear a hat.. and it looked like she didn’t care a bit.. The Queen might.
Mrs. Obama offended the Queen once too.. As I’m sure so did Lt. Frank Drebin .. Things happen. Hats sometimes don’t.
SO NOW THAT THERE IS A ROYAL WEDDING, DOES ONE-TIME COMMONER KATE NOW GET THE FULL SCALE ROYAL TREATMENT?
And by that I mean.. does she get her own personal Groom of the Stool? It would certainly be unfair were she to not.
This kiss this kiss
Just got an AP NEWS ALERT that William and Kate exchanged a short kiss… An AP alert?! A kiss is breaking news worthy?! The news has become this shallow… As the tornadoes roll on
JUST WHEN I THOUGHT THE PLIGHT OF THE POOR, THE VICTIMS OF TORNADOES, AND THE LAND OF JAPAN ALL MATTERED.. I REALIZED..
IT’S ROYAL WEDDING TIME!
And that, my friends, is what really matter.
Royalty marrying.. The kings and queens—with some added flavor of dictators thrown in—all watching the pomp and circumstance of the Royals. Don’t drink beer in front of the queen, though. My God, how ‘common’ do ARE YOU anyway!? Wine.. that’s the ticket. Just wine.
Wining and dining with the rich and famous—and many not famous but still mega-rich.
By the way… what exactly is Prince William’s last name? The question has surged by 1200% this week. He is in the line of the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha family.
And just in time for the Royal wedding here is some pretty interesting reading to say the least.
Raise a glass!! Toast! But just not, I suppose, to history…?

The Old Gray Lady just ain't what she used to be
The New York TIMES is now the latest of many to fall for a spoof of real news as presented by the always hilarious ONION.. The New York Times’ April 17 mini-retrospective on the “original teen-girl tabloid,” Tiger Beat, included a sampling of the magazine’s covers throughout the years..
The TIMES peeled the onion back though and issued this statement:
A series of pictures last Sunday of covers of the magazine Tiger Beat, with an article about how the original teen-girl tabloid has remained virtually unchanged since its inception in 1965, erroneously included a parody cover, produced by the satiric newspaper The Onion, that featured a picture of President Obama

Something strange in the air
Tremendous storms have rocked the nation from coast to coast over the past several days.. There is a strange feeling in the air, too. Something very heavy, very humid.. very intense.. And almost very unstable. It seems that you can almost feel the conditions as they develop.. uneasy atmosphere above, storms descending to the ground below.. Texas saw tornadoes on top of wild fires.. An entire town in Arkansas gone.. St. Louis still recovering from their airport damage.. And now the storms rolling into the Ohio Valley and the I95 Corridor in coming hours and days.. The wild rocky weather will end.. But not before a record setting April occurs—with a record for tornadoes being more than likely..

Another night.. and another DOORS lullabye
So are we bad parents for using LIGHT MY FIRE to put Ayden to sleep? It works.. I still contend he is an old-soul from the 70s.
AP: In Hawaii, accessing some Obama birth info is easy
Money quote:
What the would-be sleuths won’t find is Obama’s “long-form birth certificate,” a confidential one-page document containing his original birth records kept on file in the first floor of the Department of Health.
Those original birth records typically include additional birth details, such as the hospital and delivering doctor, said Dr. Chiyome Fukino, the state’s former health director who twice looked at and publicly confirmed Obama’s original long-form birth records.
AP: In Hawaii, accessing some Obama birth info is easy
...lock boxes
My wife and I have Ayden’s birth records—including his birth certificate—safely locked away.
And hopefully it will still be available when he decides to run for president.
I'm pretty sure my son is a reincarnated hippie
Otherwise, why would a 8-minute DOORS song put him to sleep—every time?
From the coal region to the Royal wedding
Thousands flocked to see Elton John in Wilkes Barre, PA, last night.. From friends of mine who went, it was apparently a decidedly great show. And now.. the Rocket Man, Sir Elton, goes from the coal region of Luzerne County to the Royal Wedding. What a difference that will be.
This is London today, along with many other places in the UK, where thick smog has descended on the continent.. Health officials have said those with asthma or breathing problems should avoid the air and stay indoors.. Also: Don’t exercise outdoors.. This as the thick layer of pre-Easter heat and smog descends on London.
An epic failure of TV programming, or perhaps the network giving up on advertising before it even began?
Either way, Paul Reiser’s newest show now has the dubious distinction of a stinker.. only two episodes in, NBC chose to cancel his program from their schedule..
3.3 million viewers in the 18-49 demos.. low ratings..
The second episode bled viewers, coming in with only 2.5 million..
What will take its place? The HOLLYWOOD REPORTER reports: OFFICE reruns..
Mad about you// over and out for Reiser..
CAN I GET AGREEMENT OUT THERE AMONG MY READERS? FACT: 'CLICK' WITH THE BEST ADAM SANDLER MOVIE OF ALL
…and quite possibly in the top ten best movies of all time.

Sources say Dolphins Pro Bowl receiver Brandon Marshall in ICU after being stabbed, will ‘be OK’ .. ESPN reporting more details..

Shaking, quaking.. alive in the New Madrid?
Timing is everything.. and it’s without a doubt very interesting timing that officials are beginning to practice for a major earthquake along the New Madrid Fault line in the Midwest..
The earthquake drill is planned for Missouri families, schools, and businesses..According to information, ten states along the New Madrid fault line plan to hold a collective earthquake drill at 10:15 am April 28. A sci-fi game is being used to prep kids for what would be a tremendous disaster if the fault went.. The White House is getting in on the game with a US SHAKE OUT drill to prepare citizens..
Early in 2011, some wondered if the New Madrid Fault was coming back to life..
A major quake took place back before any of us were alive in the 1800s..

Florida busy spending tax dollars giving capes to the unemployed. Because people who don't have jobs would rather be... superheros without jobs?
The AP reports the strange but true news from the tip of America:
Florida officials are investigating an unemployment agency that spent public money to give 6,000 superhero capes to the jobless.
Workforce Central Florida spent more than $14,000 on the red capes as part of its “Cape-A-Bility Challenge” public relations campaign. The campaign featured a cartoon character, “Dr. Evil Unemployment,” who needs to be vanquished.
I was urgently searching for what the Dr. Evil Unemployment character looked like.
And I was victorious!
Here he is! In all his jobless wonder..
….I think someone should check Smurf village. It appears Gargamel left trying to eat smurfs in place of terrorizing unemployed Floridians.

And speaking of UFOs and cross dressing FBI leaders, here is a strange situation coming from the great nation of Russia: A video is making way quickly around the world of a purported alien being, lifeless in snow in the Irkutsk region of southern Siberia following reports of a UFO crash a last month..
Some more interesting UFO news being revealed: J Edgar Hoover's FBI took UFOs seriously..
This comes on the heels (but but in J Edgar’s heels) of yesterday’s revelations that John F. Kennedy wanted information on UFOs only ten days before he was assassinated in November 1963.
The FBI vault has some cool stuff .. why certain things have been released now, though? I think we can all speculate until the cows come home—with their insides torn out and mutilated by aliens.

The dreaded terrorism color coded system is gone. No one liked it.. We’ve been orange for a while. I guess it made everyone feel blue.
So Homeland Security’s wisdom-filled halls decided to change things up a bit and scrap the Tom Ridge invention.
This morning on the TODAY SHOW, Secretary and ‘big Sis’ Janet Napolitano unveiled the brand new system: Gone are the color codes, and in is a memo-style press release type system.. the government promises less confusion.
Here is how a ‘less confusing’ system works:
CBS News explains that at the first sign of danger, a newly formed special counter-terrorism advisory board would have just half an hour to meet to begin inter-agency intelligence sharing. An official threat warning must then be issued within two hours.
"In some cases, alerts will be sent directly to law enforcement or affected areas of the private sector, while in others, alerts will be issued more broadly to the American people through both official and media channels," DHS says on its website.
The new alerts will include maps or other graphics showing the areas affected and, unlike the color-coded system, will include a specific date when the alert expires.
As much as I hate to say it, the colors may have worked better than this.. I’m not trying to be over-critical of things, believe me, but.. I frankly don’t see what is less confusing about this.
Perhaps, instead, something could be done to alert people by Napolitano herself. Perhaps her gray streak in her hair could start to be color coded.. Red for imminent dangers, gray for normal times.. Maybe it could start also predicting weather, stock market fluctuations, and even even traffic conditions on a local level.
..and while we’re at it we should issue color coded warnings on prescription drugs, as statistics show that they are %16,400 more deadly than terrorism..
Good morning all
Of course that’s if a cloudy rainy and cold morning is good. It’s still morning nonetheless. And anyway, I’m not much one for ‘good morning’ .. I’d rather just say ‘hi’ ..
