A headline worthy of reading again.. and again.
Thanks for the emails and messages
Just an update from the Coal Speaking headquarters: The situation is still troublesome.. vital signs are a little better. For those who wanted to know it’s my wife’s mom.. Still very tough road in the next 24 hours — watching and waiting.. and praying. Praying to whatever watches over this whole mess called earth.
Thank you all for the concern.
The static age is here

Cool reading from 1991
Found this little gem that I remember reading years ago: THEY’RE MADE OUT OF MEAT by Terry Bisson
As 2011 MD flies by..
Feel the breeze as the earth gets a close shave from Asteroid 2011 MD.. that’s just how just we all are to destruction.. An event like that which killed off dinosaurs millions of years ago can happen in an instant. Will we, like the previous species which went through extinction, succumb to similar fate? Or will we march into the future bruised and battered, but survive? Hopefully we will never have to answer questions like that and instead, just have the asteroids and comets keep just buzzing by.

Welcome to the new world of 'popcorn brain'
Blame computers, text messaging..
Multitasking used to be fun, now it’s turning your mind to mush.
Taking one for the team: The Philly Phanatic has been hit—and hurt—by a foul ball at a Phillies game— and treated in an emergency room, too
*Awkward moment when the announcers chuckle about and joke ‘better call a medic’..
Just no luck..
A woman who was considered dead woke up at her own funeral and then died—for real—of a heart attack.
...this one just didn't surprise me
Cities bring more stress than rural areas..
Sure there are more centers of recreation, shopping, cars, buses, horns… fighting… panhandlers.. Everything. Rural areas don’t have the modern day ‘progress’ that brings about stress and higher conditions of uncivilized behavior..
I work in a semi-metro area.. live in a semi-rural area.. and enjoy visiting big cities and extreme rural areas.
I think being well-rounded is the best game plan for sane living.
A showdown developing ..
Republicans walk out on budget talks.. Raise the roof? … raise the debt ceiling? How about just good old fashioned talking!
For those following the Casey Anthony trial..
Truly a bombshell as Cindy Anthony says she searched the computer for chloroform instead of Casey.. Amazing.. Shocking.. And perjury? Lies? Covering for Casey? Amazing….
Waterloo — Abba
A long night with Ayden
…but finally, at this early morning hour, he sleeps. And I hope all night. But…. Probably not

Al Gore going to the extreme? Try population control..
It always makes me nervous when men of power want to ‘curb’ the population or ‘stabilize’ the population.
A few facts: Russia has warned of a population crisis.. even Vlad the Putin wanted to have a national day of love making to help spur some more babies. And how would less kids help take care of the ever aging American population?
But even more, deeper, and more profound: The thought of population control could start as a great suggestion but end up being forced.. No? .. nah, eugenics never occurred, right? No big corporations and government agencies ever teamed up to try to stunt population growth—albeit then it was to help get rid of the pesky “unfit” folks. Maybe a new environmental eugenics is upon us?
I just wish, in the end, science would take over this debate and politics would get out of it. Climate change is real.. global warming—and cooling—is real. El Nino and La Nino is real. And pattern change is real. What is absurd is that we are not prepared for either intense hurricanes from intense global heat, extreme sea level rises—or even flash ice ages that occur when sunspots die away.
Politics… environment. Oh they just should not mix……
Now I can see what the markets stunk while Bernanke spoke.. The newest information from the FED-head chairman: No clue why the economy stinks.This was TIME’s person of the year for ‘saving’ the economy—a year when the economy wasn’t saved but driven even further into the toilet.

I've been meaning to ask you, do you think JC from c2c was/is a legitimate person or a joke?
I think a joke — but a good one. The latest call was the most ridiculous and showcased that the joke has worn out
Horrible and disgusting: Mom accused of microwaving her baby
These are those news events that make me wonder if Satan created the world instead of God.

Walking around in women’s underwear: The TSA must have had fun with this guy.
US Airways allows man to fly wearing women’s underwear..
Nothing is forever.. even big breasts
Bad news for women who have more than they had before: Women who get silicone breast implants are likely to need additional surgery within 10 years to address complications such as rupturing of the device..
THE PRESIDENT WILL ADDRESS THE NATION TONIGHT TO TELL US 33,000 TROOPS ARE COMING HOME FROM AFGHANISTAN
*just in time for election 2012*.. Mitt and Huntsman can’t do that now, can they..

Prayers for all in North Dakota
Flood sirens are sounding now. To my readers there: Get out of the flood zone now, be safe, and be fast. Good luck

Fukushima is NOT old news!
As a matter of fact, Michio Kaku says it’s still a ticking time bomb not being helped by government lies in Japan..
Nothing to fear but fear itself
Want an example as to why? Apparently new research is concluding that the fear over terrorism is making people stupid..…
All across the nation, such a strange vibration. People in motion…

Roger Ebert had an outpouring of generosity during his medical problems...
But apparently can’t return the favor now that someone in the entertainment world is DEAD.. Ebert’s Tweet mocking the death of Ryan Dunn has set off a firestorm of controversy.. Dunn drove drunk, yes, but with him dead now how will sarcastic jokes on the stupidity of drunk driving help anything?
Finally, the news media has realized that the Midwest flooding is threatening nuke plants
The story has been alive and well on blogs and independent websites for several days, but now real media attention (tongue in cheek there) is beginning to issue some press on the story of Fort Calhoun and Nebraksa.. The NEW YORK TIMES running a piece about Fort Calhoun and the Cooper Station.. Also revealed: Cooper was near a shutdown..
Officials still say there are no worries. And I hope they are right. I think most people hope they are right. But I also hope the media begins to pay attention to some stuff that has importance for humanity, including ‘unusual’ events at nuke plants during flooding.. It took days before anyone mainstream even reported it.
The 'shocking decline' of the world's oceans
New expert report says earth’s waters are “at high risk of entering a phase of extinction of marine species unprecedented in human history”

Well so much for that, I guess.. Walmart wins one with the judges..
This is how the AP reports it:
"The Supreme Court blocked the largest sex-discrimination lawsuit in U.S. history on Monday, siding with Wal-Mart and against up to 1.6 million female workers in a decision that makes it harder to mount large-scale bias claims against the nation’s other huge companies, too"Harder to mount bias claims is an understatement.. what an amazing decision from the Supreme Court.
Sorry NEWSWEEK… Or… DAILY BEAST, whichever you’d like to be called right.. but NAFTA the shafta started in ‘94, when the President pictured on your latest cover was in charge…Case of the Mondays
Once again time to avoid calamities on earth and on highways, too.. May no shredded truck tires impede your progression full sale into a wonderful week.
I'm looking for answers here....
Readers, viewers, listeners, fans, friends… Give me your thoughts… I had a late night Father’s Day talk with my own father last night. We dicussed some interesting issues, including this: What would happen if robots took over earth? Would they suck away oxygen? ..destroy humans? … kill us all? It could happen. We have given our technology almost more power than us..Send me your thoughts on my open lines page.. And I’ll answer..
