It’s the winter that never ends

Emmeritis pope! Will still wear white! Conclave pushed up earlier! Pedophile protecting American cardinal possibly banned from conclave!

A friend of mine who is always thinking of great headlines for me

Try to escape this irony. Michelle Obama shows up at the OSCARS to present best picture—to a movie about the government making a fake movie. 

No Rusty is not in the Navy.. He’s actually a a fierce tropical cyclone in a collision course with Australia..

A brain scan seems to prove that Democrats and Republicans do in fact have different brains

For some reason it keeps reminding me of Uncle Lewis from Christmas Vacation saying ‘THE BLESSING!’ to Aunt Bethany..

THE GREAT COLLAPSE.. THE EARTH'S CRUST SEEMS TO BE SINKING AND DEPLETING ALL OVER THE PLANET

Freaky stuff. 

You hear about sinkholes quite a bit..  but more so now. And the massive sinkhole in Louisiana still is being followed by many. It is still growing..

Changing demographics put Jewish delis in a 'pickle'

Ii will note that the LA TIMES used the pickle pun. I didn’t like the pun but went with it, couldn’t think of anything else. I thought “Changing Demographics put Jewish deli buns on the run.”  I also thought “You Say Tomato, I say Schmaltz-spread.” 

Either way, interesting story from the LA TIMES.

The 'church' of Scientology the subject of tonight's Coast to Coast AM

John B. Wells is set to interview Jenna Miscavige Hill tonight on Coast to Coast..

Hill was the niece of a leader in the Church of Scientology.

She left in 2005.

 Her website goes more in depth about her story and other ‘ex-kids’ of the Church of Scientology..

The show should be one worth listening to.

Even more so because George Noory is not hosting..

START TIME 1AM EDT, 10PM PACIFIC

Giddy up

We are told by experts that Americans are not eating horse meat—most likely. But who’d a thunk that folks in the great UK were devouring Mr Ed?!

IDENTITY THIEF really wasn't funny

So much potential, so much promise.. So few laughs … Too bad.

Nothing to see here. Despite 6 nuclear plants leaking toxic waste.

No danger.

Of course it may reach groundwater.

The Vatican is denying rumors of gay clergy, money scandals and sex.

….Because we have come to believe everything that the Vatican tells us regarding scandal clergy, money, and sex.

A new kind of lake monster has been found, in the depths of Lake Tahoe: gigantic goldfish. Researchers trawling the lake for invasive fish species scooped up a goldfish that was nearly 1.5 feet long and weighed 4.2 pounds.

Read the complete story.

I don’t think this one would be flushable. But I love to see someone at a county fair trying to swallow it

A pretty rough morning in the coal region

A little piece of news from the homefront .. Shenandoah had a very rough morning today as a fire ripped through several homes, injuring and forever damaging people’s lives..

It happened on West Coal Street in Shenandoah, PA. The fire broke out at 330am … no one was killed, but there were injuries. Multiple buildings were destroyed.

Fires happen every day every where. But when you hear of an entire block being torn down by flames, it’s a reminder to me of why I don’t want to live in a row home setting. 

Face your fears.. drown them away.. take comfort in tea.

I enjoy herbal tea. I drink green tea as a matter of fact.. sometimes nighttime tea.. sometimes tummy tea. All that.

But watching horror movie icons, such as Pennywise the clown, drown in a hot cup of Herbaria is alarming.

Whatever happened to rustic pastures filled with green grass and purple mountains of majesty? Or the birds flying calmly over a sea of golden water as the sun sets. I can think of plenty more relaxing images than watching Pennywise die of drowning.. in your tea.

I get the concept. The ‘drown your fears ‘thing means to let go and just ….relax. 

But relaxation and brutal images don’t go together well.

Horror movie fans may be fine with the concept. As for me it is not offensive at all. But for Herbaria’s marketing technique, I just don’t know how well this will work. A video of Pennywise dying on camera……and the message telling you to just relax. It just does not seem to work. 

Advertising folks out there, or even tea drinkers, I’d love to hear your thoughts?

As my wife watched yet another movie on SYFY--this one called THE STORM

Me: You always stop on these kinds f movies
My wife: What kind of movies?
Me: The movies that don't look real.
My wife: I just want to see what James Vanderbeek looks like now.
Me: You like the actors that don't look real, too.
