The Mississippi River is rising causing her tributaries to flow backwards
I most certainly hesitate speculation about end times or world ending.. But when you hear of a river flowing backwards you JUST expect locusts next..

New information revealed by Leon Panetta: There was no live video of the Osama Bin Laden raid..
So .. then what exactly was the entire Administration watching in the now famous photo?

Hmmm...
My son Ayden appears to love THE VOICE. It’s either all the singing, which puts him at peace, or Christina Aguilera’s semi-exposed breasts, which may also give him the same comfort.. I just don’t know.
All the matters around the globe
News of Osama, global warming, the universe, and Andy Dick. All in a quick wrap:

Osama did NOT HAVE a weapon and did NOT use wife as a shield..
Late night humorists joke..
Pakistan critical..
There is rampant speculation that the White House will reveal footage of the Osama burial or will release photos of the corpse..
Images flying around the net—and British media—purporting to be Osama bin Laden are fakes, and have been online for two years.. Ironically the fake images appear to show wounds identical to those which have been described in reports on the kill..
Average gas prices about to top $4 a gallon..
Lawsuit in Pennsylvania alleges that rental firm spies on users..
New concern over rapid ice melt on earth..
Yet again: Andy Dick arrested..

Osama the bunny whisperer
So much for a secret compound! 12-year-old boy says the bin Ladens gave him bunnies as gifts.. . More sources said that if a ball from playing children entered the compound, they wouldn’t be allowed to get it but instead given money for them..

I’m such a a proud dad tonight.. my 3-month-old son did something I did when I was a kid.. Watched the horrendously bad movie SUPERFUZZ. I watched it with him.. we shared a moment.
My wife wasn’t impressed.. but I get the sense he will be watching it again.
Like father like son?
My God, if so, God bless him.
Osama's body
A CH47 Chinook was damaged but not destroyed during the bin laden operations.. After, U.S. forces decided to destroy it with explosives..
According to reports, Bin Laden was buried at sea at 2 am EST. Before the shark dinner began, his body was taken via helicopter to Afghanistan to confirm it was him.. Additional reports: Saudi Arabia didn’t want the body
Not to be Doctor Conspiracy injecting a shot into the arm of American pride.. But
I’ve been really thinking on this.. I know, Muslim Law.. I know, we didn’t want to make a worship-able grave site.. But why dump Osama in the sea so fast? Really? Why without an image.. And as morbid as it may be, this is one dead man that I think the world would want to see for its own eyes… Just thinking and wondering out loud..
I’m sure there’s a logical answer to my conspiratorial ramblings at 4:40 am..
I don't think anyone in the United States slept or is sleeping..
The streets in NYC are alive.. DC thrives..other big places and small towns celebrate.. Bars are probably full and Facebook is on fire… Bloggers are Tumbling like mad on Tumblr.. What an interesting night of history it is..
World News: Incredible scene forming outside the White House
ABC News’ Sunlen Miller reports: Large crowd of people, about 200 by my estimate and growing, has gathered outside the White House gates on Pennsylvania Avenue, waving flags and dancing.
They sang, in unison, the Star Bangled Banner.
They are celebrating and chanting “USA USA USA.”
They…“A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed,” President has just said in his speech.

The boogeyman CAN be killed..
But in the end, it solves no problem, just closes an old book we never quite finished.. But that’s not saying it’s not a historic night
SPONTANEOUS SINGING TAKING PLACE OUTSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE
God Bless America
The Star Spangled Banner…
What an interesting night in the history of America..
CNN reporting that Osama Bin Laden was in a mansion
No cave for the eternal Boogeyman. He was living in style.. HE WAS IN ISLAMABAD IN PAKISTAN
Waiting for the NBC chimes of doom special report
Obama delivering strange Sunday night special address to the nation in minutes.. Speculation booms online., Quaddafi dead? Asteroids? Zombies? Developing..

{P}raise the roof!
LET THE WILD RIDE BEGIN: DONALD TRUMP ALMOST ANNOUNCES, BUT WILL WAIT UNTIL THE END OF THE APPRENTICE..
Did last night’s mockery put him over the edge? Can he win a nomination? … will he allow wind to move his hair?
All of these questions to be answered in time.

Obama vs the press? Yes, indeed..
The rundown of the clash: The White House said that a San Fransisco CHRONICLE reporter broke the rules when he filmed a protest at a private dinner—you know, the one where the person paid thousands of bucks just to sing out a protest song
The White House said the reporter broke the rules of typical pool reporting by using film and not text..
But the San Fran CHRONICLE is upping the fight a bit more today: They said that the White House is very wrong....
This is a fascinating story to me.. I’ll be interested in seeing where it goes. It also shows that no matter the party or president, there is inevitably a war between those who want to report information and those who’d rather keep it secret.
Obama vs the press? Yes, indeed..
Pennsylvania prosecutor approves charges for 10-year-old babysitter after infant dies
Fogal said a charge of third-degree murder is appropriate for the girl, who was two weeks shy of her 10th birthday when her “violent acts” caused abusive head trauma to the baby and ultimately his death.
It was determined during a hearing Friday that girl will be tried in juvenile court rather than in adult criminal court. Fogal said she will be tried as a delinquent, however, meaning if convicted she could face time in a juvenile detention center.

The website parapolitical with a great example in the form of an image of our modern day news media:
… we expect the press to provide transparency and accountability to the people to whom governments are ultimately accountable so people are well-informed …
- Barack Obama extols the enlightened role the press play in American civic discourse (2006)
Freedom of Press: the founding myth of financial democratic politics?
How true this all is.. One day in the life of media coverage of events.. and this occurs.
The big websites all following to the minute the updates from the Royal wedding—I got a few news alerts yesterday that the news alert writers should be ashamed of. Even more, I got an breaking news alert on my phone that the Royal palace last night ordered dozens of pizzas, delivered to the privileged few by London police.
I respect Brian Williams and NBC NIGHTLY NEWS a bit more, though.. at least he turned the jet around and they became the only news network to do on the ground and all-around good reporting on the calamity in the South..
But this CNN snippet—of a real screenshot of a day in the news—is very telling of how far our celebrity culture has been intertwined with news of the day..
Once again, tip of the coal rake to parapoliticalfor some good image for thought.
It’s a jungle out there. Welcome. You’re here.

Brutal honesty from Anderson Cooper
He tweeted tonight:
I love London, but Brits drink 2 much. In 20 min I just saw 25 drunks, 3 vomiters, 5 public pee-ers, and 4 passed out people. Yuck
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…?

Millions without power.. millions affected by massive storms rolling across the United States..
What an amazing night .. history made. Living through history is never good.. and this outbreak of tornadoes is just that way: Not good.
Amazing video.. frightening developments.. Sad night for so many without food and shelter.
Nothing said or done will bring back the 280+ lives not on earth tonight that were living their lives last night at this time..

A comic book spoiler site reporting that SUPERMAN is going to renounce his US citizenship over geo-political events.
But that’s ok. We still have BATMAN. That is unless he moved his assets offshore due to the financial crisis and invested heavily in different nations.
Can’t trust any superhero these days.
WOW..
JUST WOW.
