Wonder if TIME MAGAZINE would take back this cover if they had the chance!?

It feels like the early 90s all over again, except with a bigger chin

A late night talk show host from NBC bashing NBC as executives work behind the scenes to get rid of him and hire someone else… Leno did it to Letterman in ‘92-‘93.. Now he is being forced to take it on the chin himself as he’s being edged out in place of Fallon on the TONIGHT SHOW..



And with that, TONIGHT will be back in New York City…

Obama arrives for his historic trip to Israel. Pomp and circumstance greets him.

Even more alarmingly, Gosnell instructed unlicensed workers to sedate patients with dangerous drugs in his absence… In addition, he regularly performed abortions beyond the 24-week limit prescribed by law. As a result, viable babies were born. Gosnell killed them by plunging scissors into their spinal cords. He taught his staff to do the same

At the trial, a worker admitted killing at least 10 babies by cutting their spines..


If you’re pro-life you’re disgusted by this story.


And if you’re pro-choice, I trust you’re disgusted as well.. 


This is truly a house of horrors..

Hey everyone.. ready for this? 


It may be the way the map looks by next Sunday into Monday… 


Wow..


Happy spring.

This was Blake Miller, the famed ‘Marlboro Man’ of the Iraq war.


One simple image changed his life..


Today’s Iraq war news articles have been quite the stroll down amnesia lane…

Long range forecasts do continue to suggest a major snowstorm for the region early next week, with snow possible for places like Washington, DC, Philadelphia, PA, and New York City. Unlike tomorrow’s weak, light passing system, the next storm could be quite significant.

And I agree, from the models I have been watching, this could be a big one..

I have two reactions to this story from the UK DAILY MAIL about springer breakers gone bad.


1) It’s the DAILY MAIL, and they want to show scantily clad images of kids to sell some ad space and scare parents.


2) It’s the future of the world, being arrested for binge drinking… looking horridly ugly.. beer goggles to the utmost. Yep, the kids aren’t alright.

Well this is just.. bizarre. Dennis Rodman said that he danced to Michael Jackson was North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un

I think this calls for TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE, part 2.

Pro Iraq War protesters protesting the anti-war protestors, Boston, 2003


The Iraq War turns 10 today and has taken over 125,000 human lives. 



Today in protests that look awkward in retrospect.



I don’t miss these days..

The Pope is clearly already a rock star.. This morning he rode an open air vehicle to mass in Vatican City to a crowd going wild.. But he stopped briefly at a man who was clearly disabled in some way..


This is what a Pope should be.

Here are a few more things that I cringe at when I think back 10 years to the beginning of the Iraq war

  1. The treatment that the DIXIE CHICKS received

  2. "Shock and awe" 

  3. George W. Bush dressing as a superhero

  4. "Freedom fries"

Yes indeed, it’s been a long ten years.

March 19, 2003: President Bush announced that the nation was at war…


Yep.. 10 long years ago ..


And we know what happened since.

This seems to be a truly tragic and sick story from Pontiac, Michigan. This woman, a 75-year-old grandmother named Sandra Layne, gunned down her 17-year-old grandson named Jonathon Hoffman. 


According to the story, Layne shot Hoffman ten times over a six minute period.. While Hoffman was on the phone with 911 stating he was going to die, the final shot hit him and killed him. 


Prosecutors called the scene a massacre, and want Layne to be convicted of murder.. Layne says it was in self defense, and that Hoffman in self-defense..


According to the AP report on the shooting:



Layne testified last week that she was afraid of her grandson and acted in self-defense. She said she shot him after he struck her while arguing over his demands for money and a plan to flee Michigan. Hoffman had failed a drug test earlier that day, which could have been a parole violation.


Walton reminded jurors that Layne didn’t report any injuries to police when they arrived at her home after the shooting.


"Not I was afraid, I acted in self-defense, he came after me," Walton said. "I murdered. I shot. I killed — those are her first statements to law enforcement. … She hunted down Jonathan Hoffman because he wouldn’t listen."


He called it a “massacre.”




I don’t know how the jury will find her.. I can’t say I heard about this until today. And every murder is tragic.. but something seems exceptionally tragic about a grandmother shooting her grandson, regardless of why..
