There is something about this song I love. Maybe it’s because my wife recently introduced it to me and it reminds me of my relationship as it first started with her.. Maybe the restaurant theme is what makes me so into it.. or maybe just because it’s a plain old cool song with a great sound.

If you don’t know who George Noory is you may not appreciate this video. Or maybe you will because of how much of a train wreck this man is.
Either way, some inside baseball for Coast to Coast AM fans *or former fans* to enjoy..
This is someone interviewing Noory about his new “TV” show.. it’s Coast to Coast ‘in a tie.’
Two points that made me chuckle more than anything. Eight seconds in, you see Noory’s larger than life producer “Tommy” turning around to make sure his boss isn’t saying anything stupid again. And .. at about 1:27 into the video, we start getting a closer look at the rug that sits atop Noory’s head. The adhesive tape is clearly coming off around his ear where his sweat is building up under the hot lights of the health expo he pretended to know what he was doing at.
I don’t know what he reminds me more of: A used car salesman or a fraud minister asking for money.
What a freak show of a human..

‘Sesame Street’ to teach kids about when Mommy goes to prison
The land of incarceration…….. I will go out on a limb and say that Sesame Street is doing the right thing in this regard.
(Maybe now it’s time to look deeper into the drug laws)

THE THIN 'RED LINE' HAS APPARENTLY BEEN CROSSED IN SYRIA
The UK and the USA are now in agreement that Syria has used chemical weapons against ‘rebels’ in Syria. THE NEW YORK TIMES reports ..
So what does this mean?
Will we take action?
Stinky wants to..
Will we not?
War?
The Supreme Court unanimously ruled Thursday that human genes cannot be patented.
But in something of a compromise decision, all nine justices said a synthetic version of the gene material may be patented.
Initial reaction from investors sent the stock of Myriad Genetics, the company involved, higher.

Steven Spielberg Predicts 'Implosion' of Film Industry
Steven Spielberg on Wednesday predicted an “implosion” in the film industry is inevitable, whereby a half dozen or so $250 million movies flop at the box office and alter the industry forever. What comes next — or even before then — will be price variances at movie theaters, where “you’re gonna have to pay $25 for the next Iron Man, you’re probably only going to have to pay $7 to see Lincoln.” He also said that Lincoln came “this close” to being an HBO movie instead of a theatrical release.
This is actually quite an amazing story.. The ‘implosion of the film industry’ as predicted by film industry insiders is like the President saying that the government has failed.. Amazing stuff. And they are right, though, really. Big budget films so often don’t do much for people anymore. Sometimes, in summer, one makes a couple bucks. But in the end, people are searching for something more.
I hate to keep coming back to this, but it brings me back to the PURGE. Some have called the movie disgusting, and revolting. I even got a private message informing my that a room in hell is awaiting me for even writing about the PURGE. But it’s how movies should be marketed in our age. Twitter. Facebook. Tumblr. These are the places where this generation go, nightly.. daily.. whenever-ly.
To make cash, these films are going to have to present not only big CGI effects, but also ………a story. Remember when movies had a story?
Think about this: The ONLY reason anyone knows someone is making another TRANSFORMERS movie is because there are rumors that Thumbsy-Megan Fox is going to make a cameo in it. Hollywood is clearly out of ideas. They may have state of the art graphics, but certainly not state of the art storylines…
I still think that is movie theaters disappear we will miss them. Hell, I miss drive-ins, and I wasn’t even alive for the period of time in which they were held in high esteem!
Indie movies will rule.. the future is bright for bright people—and not for the old and antiquated Hollywood sign that still hovers over a dilapidated and polluted city.
There is nothing wrong with change. And when change is good, it’s even better.
I predict movies of the future will be better than movies of today.
And that isn’t bad at all, if you want true entertainment.
(But… I hope we keep the stadium seating and the popcorn.. because ‘date night’ on an iPhone just sounds plain boring)

It’s Snowden-slime time.
Get ready.
He leaked big information about what the government does to surveil people. And now embarrassing photos are being sent online of him in 2002 (when he was much, much younger) .. if this is the worst they got?? well.. that’s not bad. But I am sure his calls were traced and recorded too. So get ready for that.
Superman-Jesus freaks part 2
I have been reminded in my previous post that there have often been Superman-Jesus comparisons. I agree.. I dug up this article from the year 2002 talking about the very subject..
The only point I tried to make in my last post was that it appears they are actually trying to market the new Superman movie as Jesus.. perhaps because they know that people who are religious often go to movies if there is some type of religious connotation *(think PASSION OF THE CHRIST)* It’s smart marketing. Just as smart as the marketing was for THE PURGE (who didn’t go on Tumblr or Twitter and see those creepy masks since December?) …
So it’s all about marketing. And marketing Superman as Jesus is what they are doing. Even if they are trying to claim they are not.
SUPERJESUSFREAKS
Get ready for people to make constant comparisons between Superman and Jesus..
It seems that the new filmmakers of SUPERMAN actually are utilizing it to their benefit to market the film..
Will people worship SUPERMAN? Did the Bible actually mean the ‘second coming’ was going to be the sequel in a new SUPERMAN franchise??
And why isn’t SUPERMAN American!
Oh.. that’s the Mormons..
I am confused..
And haven’t we heard this story before anyway?
More Americans quit jobs, a sign of confidence
WASHINGTON (AP) — More Americans are quitting their jobs, suggesting many are growing more confident in the job market.
Really? Maybe people are just quitting before they get fired.. or just tired of dead end jobs.
I love economists.. they see so much in something that’s not there.. Any little thing—and the amazing thing is those small little events, like people quitting their jobs, are enough to move money markets around the globe..
