The USGS said this morning that two twin quakes struck off the coast the coast of California and Mexico. One tremor was a 6.4, another was a 6.1. Both were recorded at shallow depths. The earthquakes occurred only within seconds of each other..

There was 80 miles between both quakes, making it unlikely that the second was an aftershock..

So far this morning, no reports of damages have been seen, but people do confirm that they felt the shaking. 

BIEBER PARTS: DETAILS REVEALED ON CREEPY KIDNAP PLOT

Some may joke that they wish Justin Bieber would be castrated.  But a scary story from reality shows some may have almost had their wish granted..

There is news trickling out of the gossip BYTES online about Bieber, and a kidnap plot that would have resulted in the castration of the star, along with high prices for his testicles.

According to the story, an obsessed man named Dana Martin, worked with two other man in a plot to get Bieber’s package, and kill him.. According to the story, Martin and company is accused of arranging other men to kidnap Bieber and strangle him with his tie. Additionally, a bounty was  placed on Bieber’s ‘head’ of $2,500 per testicle..

Ironically, Martin sports a Bieber tattoo and reportedly, the plot originated after he became angry that the star failed ignored his repeated attempts to contact the young star.

While the kidnap plot was thwarted, there is little evidence that it would have been successful if put into action.

While the world may mock and laugh at Bieber’s rise to stardom, wishing anything but safety for him is awful. 

However, the fact his testicles would have gone for $2,500 each? Well that makes me wonder if a black market exists out there for such parts..

Hookers and blow

Are you dreaming of a White Christmas?

Here’s your chances according to Accuweather 

This year has been a blur, the month of December is almost over and Christmas is quickly on the way.. If we make it passed the 21st we will be fine.

There are still products made in America. Here is a list to peruse just in time for Christmas.

There is a truly tragic situation ongoing in the Philippines after massive typhoon Bopha rampaged the nation, leaving victims of the storm to beg for food

What alarms me anymore is the number of disasters.. leaving one’s mind to almost become numbed thinking of which one to help with first..

I am quite tired of hearing about the fiscal cliff

Seriously, it is becoming the most over-used political term of the year. And it just took about a month for it to become that..

Can we use some other phrase now? Financial Apocalypse maybe? The Fundage Armageddon? Maybe the Money Massacre? The Line Item Limbo?

Just enough of this fiscal cliff.

Although I would be my money on this: Porn industry moguls are going to be able to come up with a great parody of the fiscal cliff by using a word that sounds similar—one I will not even write for fear my son one day will read this ..

In Washington, they have legalized gay marriage and pot
smoking…….the Bible does say, if 2 men lay together, they should be stoned.

Art Bell from his Facebook page. 

Proving he still has the wit to host Coast to Coast AM.. if only he would come back.

The Michael Buble HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS special is freaking me out

The closeups on his face are both priceless and frightening …

Feet don’t fail me now.

Good Monday morning everyone ..

I hate Caillou

Hate is a strong word.

My wife and I are somewhat annoyed with the whiny Caillou, but we deal with him because our son likes him. Ayden will grow out of it.. Until he does we tolerate it.

Why does George Noory think he's a good singer?

He is a fool. Seriously, a big fool. His ego is even larger than his awful toupee (if that is hairpiece that is, it could be a weave or some type of medical extension put in)

Nonetheless, I am sure you are referring to Mr. Noory singing as though he is Elvis. Which is purely awful … 

Art Bell is alive and well. But he is still rolling in his soon to be grave watching numbnuts try to host a late night radio show with hundreds of affiliates, destroying everything Art Bell created on Coast to Coast AM.

Nelson Mandella is in the hospital for another day, and now has “stopped talking,” according to media a report. 

Mandella is sick.. But didn’t this happen before?

For those who are not aware of the paranormal angle of Nelson Mandella, there are some out there who consider him to be a representation of time slips. He died before, according to the recollection of many people—including Art Bell, who took calls from people that agreed they remembered watching Mandella’s funeral on TV

Mandella remains in the hospital along this time line. I don’t know what happened in others.. 

Boring Sunday

My lines are open.

Ask or say anything.

are you done your xmas shopping yet?

This question was one of the more random ones I have ever received. 

The answer: No. I am not.

And on that note, as a matter of fact, if anyone comes across any relatively good seats for nice prices on Pink tickets for her March 2013 Philadelphia concert, let me know. 

I read your story about 12/21/12. So do you think the world will end?

You are probably referring to this story posted yesterday: THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT

The short answer to your question is: NO. I 

But I think it will be mighty strange watching so many think it will end. I just hope, given the fears some people manage to hold in them, we don’t have persons acting out in bizarre ways to injure each other.

Stay safe out there, everyone. We will wake up on December 22 with the same bills and Christmas decorations we went to bed with.

And if I’m wrong?

Well, it won’t matter really will it…

Greetings from the Coal Speaker family to you. This December postcard is our latest family portrait. Enjoy.

The season of joy is upon us. And tacky sweaters and mysteriously warm egg nog.

The lyrics were much, but Psy's anger is understandable especially considering at the time--which was a DECADE ago--the Iraq War wasn't very popular nor was any American military occupation in foreign countries. The anger was in reaction to two Korean girls being killed. It was an accident, but the soldiers involved were acquitted and a S.K. missionary was executed in reaction to Korea's support of the US. As an American, I admit that our country isn't all pure and good as we'd like to think.

Thanks for the note. Your point is well taken. What I find amazing about this story though is how, now that PSY has been forced to apologize, some in stardom have to almost shed their true feelings and put on a fake exterior just to keep allowing the money to flow in.

Think of it.. this guy rises from nowhere and becomes a 2012 sensation, to the point of which he is on the AMAs and his dance is being attempted by drunken fools at weddings across our American landscape. And then we come to learn that he was disgusted enough by America prior to this to write a song about it in which he calls for some horrific things to happen to it.

The same America that is furnishing his pockets with cold hard cash.

The fact it’s even occurring is the story to me. The irony of it is what I am interested in.

I could care less if he harbors anti-American sentiment, anti-Russian, or anti-Martian. What it comes down to for me, personally, is that the Gangam style stuff is beyond sophomoric and I am truly confused as the way it excelled to a top spot in music this year. But I am equally confused by Justin’s Beiber’s rise to fame. So there’s two things I cannot grapple with in our current American pop culture.

I recall the Dixie Chicks’ fall from grace because they criticized president Bush during the Iraq war. I found what happened to them to be grossly unfair and diametrically opposed to what America was truly about (you know, free speech, remember that?) So I am not about to say that PSY does not have the right to speak or write whatever in the world he wants to.

But I will simply say that the irony cannot be escaped. The fact this story sees the light of day a week or two before he performs in front of President Obama adds drama to the whole situation.

Hope that explains my point of view a little better.
