I saw a shooting star tonight and couldn’t think of anything to wish for.
Make sure this doesn’t happen to you. Now is the time to arm yourselves with wishes. It’s the Lyrid Meteor shower time!

Boston lunacy: Looking for clues in the sands of time
Yet again, we as a nation are going through some weird deja vu.. A terrorist attack in a major city, shock across the nation.. and then powder and chemicals being sent through the mail.. evacuations and bomb scares from sea to shaky sea. This is America, 2013.. Not 2001. Then it was a much worse attack with a target of Osama bin Laden by the end of the day. This time we still search for someone. Then it was anthrax, with a scientist being blamed and never charged, and he eventually died from the planet .. this time it’s ricin, and we already arrested someone. If we can believe media reports that is.
And should we?
We had a roller coast of emotions today. This morning the trail was ‘cold’ and had run dry. By the afternoon CNN was pounding its chest in celebration of breaking news that “dark skinned bomber” had been arrested. The problem was that he was not arrested. No one was arrested. There was no arrest. Instead rumors being garbled up by everyone quickly …CNN had to back off its story about their dark skinned mail, just as the New York POST had to back off its own embarrassment with their “Saudi national” suspect the night of the bombing. For the record, there is still an AP dispatch of the ‘arrest’ Wonder how long this will be lasting in their archives.
And who can forget about the instant conspiracy theory industry whenever a major event occurs. Alex Jones is rampaging across the airwaves .. he is combing through photos and today on his show said he found Navy Seals—or what he thought of as people acting like Navy Seals—all dressed the same.. with backpacks.. I linked some of those interesting photos already here.
Last night on the Sean Hannity Fox Noise network program, Hannity and ‘respected’ expert Mark Fuhrman wondered aloud if we should be taking a second glance at people who buy more than one pressure cooker in their lives, even reminding viewers that those new objects of war have lifetime guarantees.
But just when you thought lunacy was only abundant not he right wing? Just go left young man and you’ll find just as much. Actor Jay Mohr blamed guns—but on the bright side he didn’t blame pressure cookers. And SALON just went all out, saying they hope that the bomber turns out to be a white male.
Yes indeed, we are living through lunacy.
Conspiracy theorists vs media windbags that want to be first place.. FOX pulling the FAMILY GUY while their news station jumped on the Saudi national original villain.
What have we become, my sweetest friends?
Everyone I know gets questioned in the end.
Indeed. What have we become…
With how wrong CNN has been today I take this with a grain of salt
Nonetheless, they report:
An arrest has been made in connection with letters sent to President Barack Obama and Sen. Roger Wicker that authorities are testing for ricin, two federal law enforcement officials said.
The person was arrested in the Tupelo, Mississippi, area, one of the
Washington POST: Is the political fight on guns over? Or is it just beginning?
Is the defeat of the background check amendment the first round of a gun fight? Or is it a knockout for pro gun rights forces?

STAR WARS.. from here until eternity!
Fans hungry for new STAR WARS movies are going to be hit hard.. we all will be.
Starting in 2015, Disney is planning a NEW STAR WARS MOVIE every summer.. By 2019 we’d see double the STAR WARS films that exist now. And as Entertainment WEEKLY reports, they are actually hoping that the movies start their very own spinoffs that become just as popular as the original movies..
In modern entertainment, there are two important things to consider: 1) Hollywood is out of ideas, and 2) When they have a great idea they overdo it.
And that is what I predict will happen with this flawed Disney plan..
A new movie every summer?
They will market aggressively. We know that..
The originals, however, are still more popular than the newer films. Because of the cast.. and the originality of it all.
These days we’ve seen it all. And we’ll be seeing it all over and over again every year..
A little too much star wars for me.
More horrific Gosnell trial testimony
More information coming from testimony at the Kermit Gosnell Philadelphia abortion trial.. James
Johnson was a janitor and maintenance worker at the ‘clinic’ .. And he testified that he quit the job because he became tired of cleaning baby body parts out of the plumbing system.. he also became sick of scooping baby parts up with a shovel and taking them to a rat infested basement..
Other workers testified that as some women were given drugs and about to abort their babies, they’d put them on toilets where the baby would spill out.. The plumbing often became blocked up with the bodies..
Every day you’d think this trial could not get worse. And every day it does.

10PM WRAP
The latest from the Boston Marathon Massacre
There was lots of misreporting by big news organizations earlier today.. the HORROR REPORT linked to several articles that turned out to be incorrect (for now), including stories over 12 people being dead and a Saudi national being a suspect.. Right now, the Saudi national is a ‘person of interest’..
The latest from the city of Boston, which is unusually quiet this night of Patriot Day
- Latest numbers: There are three dead.. 134 injured.. the number is grim but sure to rise. Among the dead, an 8-year-old child.. and among the injured, many children. Some are having their limbs amputated tonight in hospitals..
- The scene was one of chaos near the finish line today as both bombs went off nearly at the same time..
- TIME MAGAZINE goes inside a Boston emergency room treating the injured[LINK HERE]
- The Saudi national, and ‘person of interest,’ under guard.. [LINK HERE]
- The NEW YORK TIMES is reporting that there were potentially five devices.. Police officials said one was blown up in a controlled explosion..[LINK HERE]
- Flights are banned over the site
- NBA cancels Celtics game
- Cell phone use is heavy and still operating in Boston..
- According to CNN tonight, doctors are frantically pulling ball bearings out of people who are injured.. primary injuries appear to be tissue and lower body hits..
- Obama does not call the attack terror [LINK HERE]
- Insult to injury: Newtown parents were in the stands when explosions went off..
- The final mile was dedicated to Newtown families [LINK HERE]
- Witness tells reporters: “I saw blood everywhere”
Perhaps the most troubling thing tonight is that there is no claim of responsibility, there is no suspect, and there are no answers. The night of 9/11, when Bush addressed the nation, for better or worse we had a shared cause and a new found enemy of the state—twelve years of war and missteps we question more now than we did then.. but the cause was just that night when George W. Bush gave his prime time address from the Oval Office.. this time, we have no clue as to who will be blamed…
Will the Saudi national become a suspect?
Will it be a domestic group?
Will it be an international group?
Is this the beginning of a new age of soft targets being targeted? Are we entering an age of low-grade terror with big implications?
There are more questions than answers tonight..
With time, we will heal. With time, more will be known.. And with time, we’ll have an idea as to what today will mean to the nation’s future.
But until then, doctors will frantically treat traumatic injuries and funerals will take place for children way too young to leave this earth in a act of terrorism..
This world is so often a seemingly endless mass of poisonous psychopaths. Welcome to the planet Earth.

The Beeb shows just how tacky he can be
Get ready world: Justin Bieber is about to attack teenagers as a spokeschild for a company that wants to sell them debit cards. That’s right, hook them in early and addict them to plastic for life.
But while the Beeb is prepping for that crime against monetary decency, he may have overstepped the line when it comes to what stars should and should not say. His comments concerning Anne Frank are frankly tacky—and more so quite shocking that the Beeb specimen may see a backlash of anger.. Maybe his 60% of fake Twitter followers will help out, though..
Here is the story, from TMZ no less:
I don’t think I could have summed it up better than TMZ’s final sentence in the dispatch..
Anne Frank would have been a belieber..
I know he’s into himself.. but by God, this much? So much so that, given the history of Anne Frank and the human race during the 20th century’s great war, he leaves only thinking about what she would have thought of him?? Unbeeblievable.

Here is the story, from TMZ no less:
Bieber visited the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam Saturday. According to the Facebook page for the museum (yes, the Anne Frank House has a Facebook page), Bieber was there a few friends and bodyguards and went inside while a throng of fans waited outside.
The museum then explained … “He stayed more than an hour in the museum. In our guestbook he wrote: ‘Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber.’”
Had she lived … the April 13 diary entry would surely have included the word “douchebag.”
I don’t think I could have summed it up better than TMZ’s final sentence in the dispatch..

A Kermit Gosnell update:
And more:
Gosnell’s employees say they were just doing what their boss told them to..Some said it was the best job they could find.. Just following orders? We’ve heard that before in history, now haven’t we?
