And here I thought the President’s hair dye story would just have one 24-hour news cycle.. we’re already extending to 24+ of ‘speculation’ and rumors of Obama shading his gray a little darker..
Maybe he just misses 2008 when his hair was black, his face was young, and his worries were just selling hope and change. It’s tough when you have to produce hope and change in an atmosphere of depression and political turmoil. At least give the guy the ability to dye his hair..
And if we have to gossip, his extreme problems of being underweight are an issue. Maybe we could talk about that one a bit more than his hair.

My rather extended and potentially very wrong thoughts on next week's big snowstorm
The debate now comes down to two questions: 1) How big and 2) how far inland?
Accuweather’s blog tonight saying that next week’s East Coast storm could be a ‘big deal’ has received national attention thanks to being linked by the Drudge Report tonight.. But the Weather Channel appears to concur that the storm may be large..
According to current thought, there are two possible scenarios that would bring strikingly different weather to the affected areas..
If the trajectory takes the storm inland, major cities along the East Coast, all the way back to the Appalachian Mountains, will have a mixed bag of weather.. However, the more dramatic path of the storm would be further out to sea, in which blizzard conditions would be felt from south of Washington D.C. and north all the way to Maine..
Additionally, under track two, according to the Weather Channeland Accuweather, a large portion of the East Coast will be hit with blizzard conditions..
The peak for the storm, again according to current thought, is that the storm’s main impact will be late Tuesday all the way through Thursday..
Power outages and downed trees are likely Wednesday and Thursday with blizzard wind..
And finally, 1 foot plus of snow would fall under either scenario, it just depends on where it goes before the forecasts are finalized..
Earlier tonight, as we reported on here, Accuweather called next week’s storm a big deal, regardless of where the storm goes.. One forecaster even began asking whether the weather will be like the Blizzard of 93
Meanwhile, forums and weather casters of all types, as found on Accuweather’s Forums, are typing like mad over the possibilities of a new storm of the new century. Or just a storm. Maybe a really big one..
Blastoff! Delta IV Heavy Launch Vehicle, the largest rocket ever to launch from the West Coast, goes into space
It’s 23 stories high.
Oh, and it’s probably a very high tech spy satellite.
Meanwhile, the shuttle Discovery stays on land.

Well, he did have to look good for Hu, you know! The world wants to know: Does Obama dye his hair!?
..and while people contemplate that important topic, lots of other things in the world are occurring, like floods, storms, stampedes, riots, etc etc.
However a Commander and Chief using just for men takes precedence on news orgs tonight.
Well, he did have to look good for Hu, you know! The world wants to know: Does Obama dye his hair!?
It's not over until the fountain lady sings
But this fountain lady may be in some legal trouble..
It all began innocently. A woman walking in the mall in Pennsylvania, texting, falls into a fountain. The video suddenly posted on You Tube.. You know the drill. The dreaded “viral” word can be used for how quickly it zoomed from inbox to inbox online..
And then, suddenly, the “fountain lady” got a name: Cathy Cruz Marrero.. she appeared—a lot—on the news and even threatened a lawsuit because, as she explained, she could have easily walked into a fountain with no water. And would have been seriously hurt. Although in this instance, there was in fact water in the fountain..
But this fountain lady has even more to worry about than a potentially empty fountain without water to pad her fall: CBS is reporting that Marrero has recently been in court for a completely different reason: a status hearing on five felony charges — including theft by deception and receiving stolen property..
And while one story may not have to do with another, it all appears to come with fame.
And viral videos..

After a long week, I think we all want to hear the talking dog named Mishka to say I love you.

This storm could be quite big..
Accuweather’s Henry Margusity has more..
Snow lovers will tear up with happiness. Others may just read it and weep..
Should we be afraid?
Already talk, days before the storm, of how much next week’s potentially big snowstorm along the East Coast will be like the Blizzard of 1993..
