Tumblr In Talks With Yahoo; Facebook And Microsoft Also Said To Be Circling
Anyone else a little uneasy about this? It’s like your parents planning to give you up for adoption.
In Obama style, maybe David Karp will announce that he found out about this in the newspapers when we did.

An update
An update on my previous post.. While channel surfing during a Jerry Springer commercial break, I discovered that there are two hours of BRIDEZILLAS airing on WeTV.
Sorry Jerry, I have priorities ..
The Price is Wrong, Drew
I wrote a few days back that I inherited a stomach virus from my son.. It’s beginning to wane a bit, but not without a week of fever, and all the rest of the gunk and junk that goes with a stomach bug. Today was a recovery day.. took a day off to sleep. But sadly, I’m sleepless.
So I figured.. let’s flip some channels on the boob tube.
How sorry I was.
Jodi Arias reigned supreme on some channels. The other news networks had lots of information about the IRS.
I was able to catch the last hour of the 1990s movie MAFIA!, which I recommend for those who either don’t remember it or never saw it.
But.. the most horrendous part of TV, in my humble opinion, comes to us from the Drew Carey hosted PRICE IS RIGHT.
A little back story.. from an early child, way back in the early days of the Reagan Administration, I fondly recall watching Bob Barker’s PRICE IS RIGHT.. It was a summer staple in my life for years.
And I rarely watched it since having a day job for over a decade..
I did today. And regretted it.
First off, no one ever wins. The games are almost impossible to win, and even worse for Drew Carey to try to explain to contestants how to play.. at one point, there appeared to be a malfunction with a game in which little ‘rats’ race .. the yellow rat didn’t move until after the game had completed. And of course the unlucky contestant lost his new car. The game seems stale now. Bob Barkerless.. it should have been canceled with Barker’s retirement.
And why is Drew Carey skinny now? That doesn’t seem right, either. What has happened to this world!?
Luckily for my viewing pleasure now, though, two hours of Jerry Springer is airing on my local FOX affiliate. Some scorned woman just pushed green jello into her ex girlfriend’s face. Now they are crying.
Which reminds me: Have your pets spayed and neutered.

NJ Governor Christie announces plan to buyout Sandy-damaged homes in flood-prone areas
Which is better than his original plan of eating the properties.
Buckets Of KFC Chicken Smuggled Through Tunnel In Gaza Strip For $30
It’s desperate times for desperate situations I suppose.. But even smuggled KFC doesn’t seem worth it.
Inquiring minds want to know: crispy or original?

Gawker: Police Seize Woman's Camera After She Films Them Fatally Beating a Man
Last Tuesday, Maria Melendez witnessed a half-dozen sheriff’s deputies fatally beating 33-year-old David Sal Silva—hitting him with clubs and kicking him— in Bakersfield, California outside Kern Medical Center. She began to film the scene on her phone, yelling to the cops that she was filming them.
Melendez, who had been visiting her son at the hospital, reported that the deputies beat Silva for eight minutes as he screamed and cried for help. He was “basically pleading for his life,” said Laura Vasquez, another witness with Melendez. “Then we couldn’t see him anymore. That’s how many cops were on top of him.”
A spokesperson for the Kern County Sheriff’s Department says that Bakersfield Police Department officers had a warrant for both phones they confiscated last week. Law enforcement officials apparently plan to continue holding the phones, as part of the investigation into Silva’s death, and all of the officers involved have returned to full duty.
Are things just seemingly getting out of hand everywhere or can we blame this on the Internet that we now know so much..?

Brain scans reveal marijuana-like medicine could effectively treat PTSD
But yet we are a nation of alcohol and antidepressants. And people serve life sentences for something that grows naturally.
Explain that one to the aliens when they come back.

Being a sick dad
My son was sick. Now he’s drinking juice and eating. Just in time for the sickness to spread to me. Fever.. Sore …
Ugh.
Acting commissioner of IRS resigns
CNN Political Ticker: US President Barack Obama has announced that Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has requested and accepted the resignation of the acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service in the wake of its handling of requests by conservative groups for tax-exempt status.
Obama called the “misconduct” detailed in a report about the IRS response to those requests “inexcusable.”
