Just an example of how lament Coast to Coast AM has become… #noorysucks
And crickets online.. unbelievable…
Prosecutors have sought phone records from reporters before, but the seizure of records from such a wide array of AP offices, including general AP switchboards numbers and an office-wide shared fax line, is unusual.
In the letter notifying the AP received Friday, the Justice Department offered no explanation for the seizure, according to Pruitt’s letter and attorneys for the AP. The records were presumably obtained from phone companies earlier this year although the government letter did not explain that. None of the information provided by the government to the AP suggested the actual phone conversations were monitored.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press in what the news cooperative’s top executive called a “massive and unprecedented intrusion” into how news organizations gather the news.
The records obtained by the Justice Department listed incoming and outgoing calls, and the duration of each call, for the work and personal phone numbers of individual reporters, general AP office numbers in New York, Washington and Hartford, Conn., and the main number for AP reporters in the House of Representatives press gallery, according to attorneys for the AP.
A jury has found Philadelphia abortion provider Dr. Kermit Gosnell guilty on three counts of first-degree murder…
The ‘local crime’ story comes to an end (sarcasm)
Justice truly served … Well done, jury, well done.
A report claims that the IRS audit scandal goes deeper: The Wall Street Journal and Reuters both reported that the IRS moved beyond giving a skeptical eye to “tea party” and “patriot” groups. It was also targeting groups focusing on specific issues including “government spending,” “government debt,” “Education of the public via advocacy/lobbying to ‘make America a better place to live,’” and all groups that “criticize[d] how the country is being run.”
Headlines greeting millions of Americans today. Red states, blue states, and purple states.
Sounds like we have a serious issue on our hands, regardless of party or pride.
The description of this video: Ice Heaves pushed up from Mille Lacs Lake onto the Resort grounds and damaged homes within 15 minutes. Date Taken: 05/11/2013 around 9:30 am
And then the story:
Amazing, unbelievable video. You have got to see it to believe it..
A dispatcher says four children and two adults have died in a house fire in eastern Pennsylvania. Schuylkill (SKOO’-kul) County emergency dispatch supervisor Bill Lindenmuth says the fire broke out around 11:55 p.m. Sunday at a home in Pottsville and that firefighters later found the bodies…
The AP has picked up the sad news this site and others reported early this morning.. A tragic fire here in my area.
However, I am humored that national news has to explain how to pronounce Schuylkill..
A fatal fire… Perhaps an entire family killed in Pottsville, PA last night.
I saw images of the fire on Facebook. Sadly the people in this house didn’t stand a chance judging from what I saw..
I hate these events no matter where they are. This one is too close to home, however..
It is Mother’s Day, May is halfway over, and right now the temperature outside my Pennsylvania home hovers around 40°..
This spring has thus far been quite questionable, I can only imagine it will continue like this or a surge of people start and never end..
The cicada invasion gives you the opportunity to feast on what scientists call a phenomenon.
So will you be eating them?
Now this is scary. And sadly accurate.
A horror movie based on true events….
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Former world heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson will star as a cartoon detective, with a pigeon as a sidekick, in a new animated series, U.S. cable network Adult Swim said
That sounds about right.
This video made me think back to high school… so on one hand, this kid is 100% right. On the other hand, 100% disrespectful. However, the thing I think more than anything is that he was sincere in his outburst. So in that regard, I support him. The only thing lacking was a standing round of applause from the other kids in class, which makes me wonder what THEY were thinking..
IN YO FACE AMERICAN 19-YEAR-OLDS:
19-YEAR-OLD Beeb Instagrams photo of himself drinking beer—IN SOUTH AFRICA ..
And.. coincidentally, this story comes on the heels of another one: New poll suggests Americans reallly don’t like Justin Bieber..
I guess she’s being Miley.
MILEY CYRUS claims she was stalked by ghosts when she was in London..
And sadly, the ghost continued to follow her and live in her hair.
Investigative journalist and radio host, Josh Reeves, joins John B. Wells for a discussion on America’s forgotten ancient history including the mysterious Rock Wall in Texas, the mound builders, and giants, as well as cultures and technology that existed farther back in antiquity than we are told.
CNN = Kidnapping story almost all day and all night.
FOX = Benghazi was covered up by President almost all day and all night.
HLN = Jodi Arias all day and all night
Former Coast to Coast radio host Art Bell, from his Facebook page yesterday.
He’s right on.. spot on.
And the comments made us all realize why we thoroughly miss him nightly..
Ugh.. Noory.
Chances are you saw this interesting infographic already. But if you didn’t, it’s worth the look. According to information, the highest paid public employee in more than 20 states is … drumroll please: FOOTBALL COACHES.

Friday night lights. Where the plight of the educated is drown out by the echo of the crowd…
Nearly 70% of turkey burgers contain fecal bacteria, says Consumer Reports
Overall, 90 percent of the ground turkey that the magazine examined had one or more of the five bacteria they tested for.
SO much for giving up red meat in favor of turkey ground meat. Next time I crave turkey tacos I’ll think twice.
But I have discovered an excellent different way to make tacos: Shrimp. Seriously, it adds to the flavor. Try that if you haven’t.
Then again, the shrimp I get are most likely radiated from Fukushima and giving me some form of long term ailment not yet discovered.
We are what we eat. And just look at us.
Video of 3-year-old boy ‘celebrating’ Mass becomes online hit
A lot of religious folks are celebrating the ‘celebration’ of mass that this 3-year-old is taking part in.. But it raises a question for me that is quite the opposite of one that some Christians may believe: Does this prove, or at least give weight to the argument, that reincarnation happens.
More from the article ( From a religious based site):
His relatives told reporters that last Christmas, Jaramillo did not ask for toys like most kids his age. Instead, he wanted “priest’s clothes” and the objects necessary to “celebrate” Mass. He has learned to recite the Mass from memory with the corresponding pauses, intonations and gestures of an experienced priest.
It is obviously plausible that this boy was the product of his environment.. His family perhaps was very religious, causing him to want these items and learn what he did. And kids at 3 could be very intelligent. But.. could it also be at least possible that maybe he is bringing his baggage with him from a previous life? I say yes.
And maybe that makes me someone in the minority. But I say yes.
This is a big ouch. NBC has canceled Brian Williams’ ROCK CENTER.
Sources at NBC News say Williams was angered that Burbank execs did not give the show the promised promotion, while plans to expand it to multiple weekly airings have been abandoned
Well I guess so.
And DATELINE survives?
Rock Center is so much better.
Outwardly, there is little about the two-story, clapboard house on Cleveland’s Seymour Avenue that hints at the horror that authorities say played out inside.
This is a pretty sad story, from beginning to end. And now neighbors are faced with a life altering question: What did they miss, and could they have prevented anything if they would have seen signs that clearly they didn’t.
The money quote from CNN:
"Why didn’t I notice anything? What should I have been looking for?" asks Mickie Wodgik, who spent years living across the street from Castro and, it turns out, the three missing women.
"Were we all that oblivious?"
Were they? … We are all like that sometimes.
This is a good story to exemplify why we should all put the phones down, turn off the TV and maybe just sit on the porch again and get to know neighbors……..
But the troubling question: Do we really know anyone?
Civil rights advocates are worrying that immigration reform the Senate began debating yesterday is the first step toward a national identification system that would grow into a dossier on Americans and chronicle our most every move. That’s because buried in the more than 800-plus-page piece of bipartisan legislation is language calling for the creation of a national, biometric identification system for workers.
Quite possibly the most important news of our time.. and no one is really even paying attention to this. From WIRED magazine, folks.. not a ‘conspiracy site’ as many would call it. Perhaps we all need to read this immigration bill, since we know Congress will not.
So much for my great collapsy pun. The movie is apparently set to have a huge weekend monetarily. But a friend of mine who saw it opening night have me a new pun: Gatstacular.
The egg.
The harbor.
The green light.
No ragtime but rap.
I wonder if high schools still make kids read this book?
10 days now of weird stories of scared earthlings. But it does sound like this aircraft is made of earthly parts to me.
Someone’s out of ideas!!!
FOX wants to bring back Kiefer Sutherland and 24..
Although , torture is still in vogue, maybe more now than then..
Washington DC Capitol Hill staffers go gaga over Prince Harry..
Even Michelle Obama redid her look for the day..
WFAA reports:
WEST - Bryce Reed, a volunteer EMS worker who frequently talked with the media during the aftermath of the West explosion, was detained and faces a charge of possession of a destructive device.
Reed served as a volunteer EMS worker for West and was placed on leave after the explosion. He was arrested Thursday morning and is being held at the McLennan County Jail.
Sources familiar with the case said Reed was in possession of possible bomb making materials. He is scheduled to appear before a federal magistrate judge at 10:15 a.m. in Waco.
At this point, agents do not believe there is a connection to the fatal fertilizer plant explosion that occurred on April 17 in West.
There is so much in news lately that makes me sick. The latest of course if the abduction story from Ohio.. Sick stuff. And more sick stuff is coming out, even the report that Ariel Castro bought cakes for his victims to celebrate the anniversary of their kidnappings.. How truly disgusting..
Vital ammonia coolant is leaking from the International Space Station, NASA officials say.
No danger in the immediate to the astronauts on the station, so sayseth the news sources…
But the headline just seems creepy.
I am amazed by space and all that goes with it. When I was a kid, watching APOLLO 13 in theaters, I began to realize how scary it would be to have some tragic happen in space. Also during the movie, my friends and I got yelled at by others because of how many jokes we were making during the film.. It was MST3000 era film-viewing, after all.
Nonetheless, this story of the space station coolant problem just cannot be good. It would be if a truck was leaking it, or a car.. but a space station? No need to panic, I suppose.
A little update on Filthya Browne:
Sylvia Browne really is a horrible person..
And she knows it.
Tonight her Facebook page has been deleted, as well as her Twitter feed. Although she does say this on her website today:
Sylvia’s Statement on Amanda Berry
"If ever there was a time to be grateful and relieved for being mistaken, this is that time. Only God is right all the time. My heart goes out to Amanda Berry, her family, the other victims and their families
She should be ashamed of herself.
Sometimes television programs don’t know when to quit…
The body of Boston Marathon bombings suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev has been entombed thanks to a “courageous and compassionate individual (who) came forward,” police in Worcester, Massachusetts, said today.
Police did not say where the body was entombed, but did say that the body was “no longer in the city of Worcester.” The city’s police chief “thanks the community that provided the burial site.” police said in a statement.
CNN news alert..
This took long enough..
TIME magazine is right.. This photo is haunting..
WE NEED TO BURY THIS MAN REGARDLESS OF HIS CRIMES!!
This case is ugly.. It’s amazing that the three women were found alive and are reuniting with their families.. but now police digging for remains of babies, potentially aborted, after years of sex slavery.. The sick secrets that went on in this house are going to be revealed. Truth is like flooding water behind the gates, ready to eviscerate anything that holds it back. Sadly, Amanda Berry and the others rescued know exactly what happened to them. The rest of the world will cringe as we slowly find out..
FDA wants cancer warnings for tanning beds
(Photo: Getty Images stock)
WASHINGTON - Indoor tanning beds would carry new warnings about the risk of cancer and be subject to additional regulations, under a proposal unveiled by the Food and Drug Administration.
Why not just create beds in the shape of caskets?
I’m sure all are amused that this happened.. We like to kick stars when they are down, now don’t we!
But.. The judge ordered her (ordered) to go to counseling for her conspiracy theories.
For her thoughts…the report goes:
During her trial, Hill was ordered by the judge in Newark, New Jersey to undergo counselling because of her conspiracy theories - including that artists are being oppressed by a plot involving the military and media.
Get ready for a wild week of Benghazi related scandalous information. What did ANYONE know and when? And why didn’t ANYONE explain why this happened or what it was?!
Answers probably not forthcoming.
But fireworks are..
Interesting development. While the media waits for a verdict in the Jodi Arias trial I am watching this one closely…
Michael Moynihan spends a week in the online terror underworld—most of which happens on Facebook—for our cover story: http://www.jihad.com.
Very interesting.. Perhaps a must read ..
Dead Giveaway, Interview With Cleveland Hero Charles Ramsey Remixed by The Gregory Brothers
Ok. I will admit it… This is catchy…
There is a big debate developing in geekland .. should Megan Fox be wearing the yellow of April O’Neill or not?
MIchael Bay appears to have made the choice to not go with yellow, instead slipping Fox’s thumbs into a newer modern sexuality outfit..
Nerds erupt in sexual tension-induced anger!
Sick story.. sad story.. miracle at the end.
But I can only imagine the emotional shock is going to continue for a lifetime..
IS THIS PRODUCT CAUSING INCREASED CASES OF AUTISM, PARKINSON’S, AND ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE?
A new study is linking Monsanto’s Roundup weed killer with major effects on the human body..
Monsanto is calling the study bogus and bad science. But hell, what else but that could they say??
Here is the science of it, as reported by NATIONOFCHANGE.ORG:
Glyphosate impairs the cytochrome P450 (CYP) gene pathway, which creates enzymes that help to form and also break down molecules in cells. There are myriad important CYP enzymes, including aromatase (the enzyme that converts androgen into estrogen) and 21-Hydroxylase, which creates cortisol (stress hormone) and aldosterone (regulates blood pressure). One function of these CYP enzymes is also to detoxify xenobiotics, which are foreign chemicals like drugs, carcinogens or pesticides. Glyphosate inhibits these CYP enzymes, which has rippling effects throughout our body.
Interestingly, though, Monsanto isn’t the sole company that has the rights to use glyphosate .. They did create it, but their patent on it expired in 2010. To maybe it’s unfair to blame them solely if glyphosate truly does have these effects on human beings—at least post 2010.
However, Roundup is a big seller worldwide..
It’s fast action.
It kills weeds and roots.
And it has a beautiful color that looks very friendly to nature.
This story suggests the ingredient glyphosate is quite the opposite of healthy and wholesome..
They are in the dark again…
A developing story..
State legislators are considering a law its backers say is intended to protect farmers from unfair attacks
What do you think?
I love how the Associated Press reported the impending Cicada-geddon:
Scientists even have a horror-movie name for the infestation: Brood II. But as ominous as that sounds, the insects are harmless. They won’t hurt you or other animals. At worst, they might damage a few saplings or young shrubs. Mostly they will blanket certain pockets of the region, though lots of people won’t ever see them.
"It’s not like these hordes of cicadas suck blood or zombify people," says May Berenbaum, a University of Illinois entomologist.
They’re looking for just one thing: sex. And they’ve been waiting quite a long time.
They waited for 17 years for cicada-loving. I will not be planning on bothering them when it starts. You shouldn’t either.
Yesterday in Ohio, police were able to find three different girls who were abducted separately but ended up at the same home … They were found alive..
It all began with a frantic woman screaming at the door of Charles Ramsay.
Then a 911 call.
Then they were safe…and families were elated.
Good news, good news.
But, the media is the media.. so Charles Ramsay, the man who helped them get safe and be safe in this situation, is now being mocked for his actions. Breitbart.com says he is the next YouTube sensation. His quotes are priceless:
So .. the media is having a good time laughing at Charles Ramsay, most likely because of thinly veiled racism.. But it’s clear that he is a hero.. Well done, good sir, well done Mr. Ramsay!
GETTING READY!
BIG CRISPIE MAY SOON BE HALF A MAN HE CURRENTLY IS!
Slimming down for ‘16: Chris Christie underwent surgery to lose weight in February..
Results are non yet forthcoming..
But the story did say that he was eating a steak and wasn’t able to finish it..
You know, in my honest opinion, some people look better overweight. Chris Christie may be one of those people. We will find out.. A thinner Chrispie running for president in 2016? Or will he bust a gut and try to beat the surgery?
The other question, of utmost importance: Will he still jack his pants up beyond his nipples once he loses a few hundred pounds?
The MIAMA HERALD reports this:
“The little boy just sat there rocking back and forth,” said a neighbor. “It’s just so devastating. They had just moved in two weeks ago.”
The shooting happened around 7 p.m. in the 5900 block of Northeast Second Terrace in Oakland Park.
Former Pope Benedict is ‘depressed’ according to insider..
Maybe he is sad with how cool and rockin’ Francis is in comparison?? The sad Popa vs the Kung Fu of Media Popa
I love puns.. People who write them are pretty witty.
I always wanted to come up with a great pun.. something that could catch on.. I’ve tried.. And finally, I think I came up with one. The problem is, the news event didn’t quite happen yet. But it could.
I was reading some reviews and predictions for the GREAT GATSBY remake.. predictions that it will flop at box offices.. (MORE HERE ON THAT)
So I would like to officially create a pre-pun for the eventual bad box office numbers that GATSBY with garner: THE GREAT COLLAPSY. Do you like it? Is it ‘pun worthy’? Will Drudge steal it? Maybe the DAILY MAIL?
I hope. And if they do, remember the COAL SPEAKER, where the ‘collapsy’ all began….

I always mock the Beeb, but this is pretty scary video. Even scarier for the grand piano.
Jersey Gov Big Crispie is so cool that he will squash his opponents like a spider in front of fourth graders.
This is just a weird video for so many reasons.. It reminds me of a scene from BATMAN RETURNS when the Penguin gets introduced to his fans for the first time by Max Schreck.
We have to bury this guy. Whatever it is, whoever he is, in this country, we bury people. I don’t care who it is. That’s what I do
Peter Stefan from the Graham Putnam & Mahoney Funeral Parlors in Massachusetts. Tamerlan Tsarnaev has not been buried yet, and his uncle has arrived in the United States in order to assist in attempting to find a burial plot.
I guess it is time to end any further speculation that I will return to the air anytime soon. I have given (2) very solid offers a lot of thought and have turned them down. My reasons are many, though I am profoundly sad at the current state of the show, both offers would have been direct competition with Coast and anger is the wrong reason to proceed. Also I really do not want to destroy what I built despite it’s current state. Asia will be in first grade in the Fall and getting up very early, I would be up late and sleeping late, I would not see much of her or Airyn. Life is short and I want to spend what I have left with my Family. I hope my friends understand…
In this world (and in the Catholic Church) that is quite the monumental task..
What do the Syrians have against the Beeb? Maybe the same thing everyone else does..
