As feared, enormous storms have destroyed lives an limbs ..

Southern Indiana particularly ravaged..

Alert to readers and visitors from the Ohio Valley

Tomorrow could be very deadly .. Tornadoes are set to abound.. A wild March ready — this after the Leap Day outbreak.. Prepare now and be ready.. Look above and know what’s below. It could be a very bad day..

The world lost Davy Jones today at the age of 66.. Known for being in the Monkees of course..

Therefore: The song of the day—who doesn’t know every word and sing along?

While Daydream Believer may have been the most famous song the Monkees performed.. While Anne Murray tried to redo the magic of the Daydream Believer in 1979, it fell short.. especially on a day when Davy Jones leaves the world.

This is what it looks like after a leap day tornado..

The AP shot the image in Illinois after the stampede of steady and deadly weather tore apart lives and limbs..

A sad day.. thoughts and prayers need to be extended to the fine people who dealt with horrid chaos today.

And while you’re praying, stock up on food and water. This may be a bumpy spring..

Some people would say they'd give their testicle to be in a job.. this professional wrestler started a lawsuit because he lost his due to a match gone wrong

Summer heat. GOP may be on pace to have a rendezvous with destiny: A delegate fight.

So...If we make it through December we'll be fine?

Just when you thought the only thing to fear in December 2012 was the end of the Mayan calender and subsequent apocalypses, enter into the news fray this item of importance: Ben Bernanke is warning the nation of impending doom. A ‘fiscal cliff’ .. coming in January 2013…right as the new years eve ball (hopefully) drops on a nation that is relieved they weren’t destroyed by fire and brimstone.

So is it a relief when Ron Paul predicts that the FED will self destruct…?

Not at all, I suppose. The cliff just gets more steep..

A leap day to remember--and forget.. and recover from all the same..

I am beginning to get a very eerie feeling about this spring and summer coming up. If tornadoes are already occurring this bad (12 killed as violent storms ravage Midwest, South…) I think they will get even worse over the next few weeks and month or two.

We have had an abnormally warm winter. While few complained about unseasonably high temperatures all year with no measurable snow, I did worry. I wanted the snow to create springtime melting and growth.. I wanted the cold to kill the flu, bugs, and ticks. Nothing of that nature occurred. Bugs are already creepy and crawling.. ticks never went away..and the flu? Everyone is sick. Warmth like this isn’t good.

And now the deadly tornado outbreak today and tonight. I didn’t go to Penn State for meteorology, but as sure as I can say that Joe Bastardi is on my twitterfeed I know this: Storms this big and strong this early is foreboding. Supercells that decimate entire towns in winter..? Well just imagine what the spring will bring.

The leap day tornado outbreak started today.. and as of tonight it continues…

Hope I’m wrong. 
Really. I hope I’m wrong. 

Sorry to my followers for going political tonight. But I did...

Sweep!

Arizona won.. and Romney wins Michigan too..

November here he comes

Mitt Romney loves kids and mom jeans, but Rick Santorum loves nuns.

Mitt Romney loves being casual. Look at him campaign in a casual outfit!

People who dress like Mitt Romney really love Mitt Romney! Look at them love him!

Not only does Mitt love kids, but he loves Kid Rock too.

Romney really loves kids. But likes really large Governors even more..

One state down: Romney wins Arizona.

Romney plays to a packed crowd. Hundreds enjoy his message.

Jesus brought Lazarus back from the dead. In this image Mitt Romney gives a child the key to success. 

Kids love Mitt Romney. Arizona edition. Maybe Michigan. 

Interesting results in Michigan tonight.. Democrats voting for Santorum and Paul.. not because they like them but because of how much they dislike Mitt Romney

I think I am going to write a book about parenting..

Would anyone out there who follows me read it?

Would people out there want to buy it?

Give me guidance.. give me something. Anything. Give me an answer…

And really.. are there too many “parenting” books to begin with anyway?

Cumulus dropping Coast to Coast AM in multiple markets

This is a pretty big deal for those who like the radio that talks about strange bumps in the night—but maybe also not surprising just as well.

"Red Eye Radio" is replacing Coast to Coast AM with George Noory is multiple markets.

There is a lot to this new change in a lineup. However, regardless of ‘why’ the show is being dropped, the fact it is being dropped it a major development in radio. 

Art Bell officially ended his relationship with Coast to Coast AM in 2010. And since then listeners in massive numbers yearned for his return. He has not yet, and instead George Noory has boasted that he may get a contract renewal until 2018 (long after that whole Mayan Apocalypse) ..

With the new news of Coast being dropped of of pretty big markets, being replaced with a late night conservative political show, what will become of the little UFO program that could created by Art Bell? …maybe the return  of Art Bell?

Don’t forget: Art Bell retired before (ok lots of times) .. but one time he retired someone by the name of Mark Siegel took over. Affiliates dropped. Ratings dipped. 
Could we be re-writing the same chapter all over again? 

Cumulus dropping Coast to Coast AM in multiple markets

YEAR ONE

This was it. The big birthday bash a year in the making.. Ayden Morris and family, and friends, celebrating until naptime. It was fun. Elmo showed up and brought himself on a balloon. Adults ate sandwiches and meatballs. Kids ran and played. It was a good time had by all. Thanks friends and family for coming and thank you even more good God or whatever is in charge of this mess of an earth for giving us the true blessing of having a child.

Now with that out of the way…I’ll say this: I am quite proud of the little Boris Morris today: He didn’t once use his hands to eat his cake. Instead he was polite and nice eating with his spoon.. Sloppily. But eating with his spoon nonetheless.

Mr. Manners. 
Proud parents.
With less to clean. 

I'm trying to determine which is worse

The Wiggles, Barney.. or Calliou? 

I am thinking the little pale whiny kid Calliou. Just sometimes can’t take him.. reaching the breaking point with the Wiggles, of course, until their damn songs get stuck in my head.

I just can’t place my finger on it.. Why do I feel something is missing from
USA TODAY’s little presidential graphic ….. Gotta love media bias!

Tomorrow, be sure to tell a Catholic that he or she has a nice ash

One year ago tonight ..

…was the last night that I was NOT a dad or Tara a mom.

It was the final night alive for Cloud, my sister’s family dog..

It was the best of times, and it was the worst of times.

And those times have passed.. One year later, the night a year ago is the past. 

The future is so bright.. gotta wear shades.

Soylent green is people

And if the triple bypass burger doesn’t kill ya, the test tube version may.. For real,there is a good possibility that the first test tube hamburger will be produced this year.. Charleton Heston has left us on earth, but I’m inclined to remind you all that he screamed that Soylent Green was people. No one believed him. What will your test tube burger be? And can you order it well?

Chalk this one up to truth in advertising?

Heart Attack Grill owner defends his restaurant after a patron eats a Triple Bypass Burger—and has heart attack! I’d consider this one just truth in advertising.. don’t the diners sign a waiver? If not it may be time to write one up..
It’s not often we find truth in advertising.
McDonalds doesn’t tell us how bad their product is…
Pizza Hut doesn’t let us know the calories per slice..
So the Heart Attack Grill is, by definition, just being honest..? 

This story is sad and alarming: More than 3,000 children from Northern Uganda suffering from debilitating mystery ailment known as nodding disease

The strange disease known only as ‘nodding disease’ is confounding experts.. it is also killing children at an alarming rate.. unknown are the causes.. what is known is this: The disease affects only children and gradually devastates its victims through debilitating seizures, stunted growth, wasted limbs, mental disabilities and sometimes starvation..

Mr Karp, are you willing to answer a few things? 1) what do you think of SOPA and other related attempts to censor? 2) what do you think of Google’s new policy to censor their blogger accounts? 3) will Tumblr ever be censored? and 4) do bloggers own their own content on Tumblr?

At first I was surprised today at how many people I know or work without didn't know the real meaning of Valentine's Day

…and then I discovered just how many meanings there were. I learned something myself..

Roman gods of fertility..

Ancient Pagan Festival of Lupercus..

…saints…

….little lovely signs of love..

Lots.

And then I realized why it was so easy for corporations, Hallmark, and chocolate companies to take over the holiday and do what they do best: Profit off of it.

I used to work in the restaurant industry (and still miss it.) Therefore I can only predict diners and dives across America are filled tonight.. bad chicken and tough steak … being served as we speak. Lovers out to eat.. balloons.. kisses.. and sour stomachs to follow.

Yes, indeed. Tonight is the  night of love.

As for my wife and I? We took a more simple approach.. I gave Tara a balloon, a card, and a cheese steak. She gave me Cadbury Mini Eggs and David’s Jumbo Sunflower Seeds. And Ayden gave her an Elmo picture. A simple, kind, nice.. and meaningful Valentine’s Day 2012. Whatever Valentine’s Day means anyway..

The earth still moaning..

Strange booms startle Salem, Ohio..

Strange sounds.. and lights.. over Peoria..

A French court has found Monsanto guilty of chemical poisoning

An amazing story from France, where a court found Monsanto guilty of chemical poisoning.. 

French farmer Paul Francois says he suffered neurological problems after inhaling Monsanto’s Lasso weedkiller.. 

The court agreed.. It’s a truly dramatic story, and this could lead to more lawsuits and victories by farmers against the GMO world of Monsanto.. 

And the story is so big, I have found almost NO STORIES IN THE AMERICAN MEDIA ABOUT THIS.

Maybe they are just letting it sink in before it gets reported… right?

You are what you eat.. which is why a company may have chosen to stop eating what they are patenting..?

Hungry for GMO food? While you’re probably not but eat it unknowingly everyday anyway, consider this: Monsanto doesn’t allow genetically modified foods in its corporate cafeterias.. Greenpeace has the full exposé.. 

Monsanto believes in choice.. As long as the choice is fresh and GMO free. They clearly know that they are what they eat ..
