The Naval cavity has been exposed.
Expect to hear about this one .. What do prostitutes, Lady Gaga tickets, and a production of the Lion Ling all have in common? A breaking news story involving a bribery case and the Navy. The WASHINGTON POST has the full story here on something you should know.
The POST reports this:
It started with an invitation to the Broadway production of “The Lion King” in Tokyo for the Navy commander, his wife and their children.
In the end, the Malaysian defense contractor known in military circles as “Fat Leonard” would use prostitutes, plane tickets and other bribes to hook the U.S. Naval officer into a scheme that overbilled the Pentagon by millions, investigators say in court papers.
The subject matter…Gaga…the Lion King… all made better by the inclusion of a “Fat Leonard” into the mix.
And you will not be able to read this story without humming the VILLAGE PEOPLE classic song.. I dare you to try.
Louisiana police tase a father trying to rescue his three-year-old son Riley from a house fire.. they then put him into handcuffs in the back of a police car.
The innocent young boy died..
The investigation into the fire continues..
You read that CBS headline right. We are already tired of Christmas shopping and it’s not even Christmas.
Maybe that is the reason.
We need to celebrate Halloween…thanksgiving..then other holidays after. WE get rushed through life. Back to school shopping in July. Easter candy in January… Halloween in September, and by the time you’re actually getting a costume, early Christmas sales take place.
I happen to love Thanksgiving..and I find it sad we sort of seem to miss it every year..
So let’s take a pause. There’s plenty of time to shop for Christmas, let’s take it easy..
HOLY CRAP, IT’S ONLY 7 WEEKS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!?!?!?
THE LA TIMES SAYS,
She was crying too. Tears streamed silently down her face as she wailed, and viewers streamed silently out of the show. During the three minutes or so that Gaga was on screen more than 4,000 viewers exited and continued to do so as microphones cut in and out, cakes were mashed to uncover awards, and Tyler the Creator and Earl Sweatshirt were bleeped out for most of their unintelligible performance.
By the time the webcast was almost an hour in viewership had dropped from its peak of about 215,000 to a median of about 180,000. This for an event that 60 million people apparently voted for.
YouTube may break viral videos, but unless it tries harder next time it may not be able to break itself.
There may have been a point to how she performed—she is performing the song like a junkie..
But this is the INTERNET baby! If people click off, it’s a loser.
However, in this case, they may be the losers… the performance is pretty darn good for purposely trying to sound bad.
A must read:

Did you know…
40 percent of people with asthma in California are renters, which can limit their ability to rid their homes of dust mites, mold, and secondhand smoke.
Children from low-income families are more likely to live next to freeways and be exposed to bio allergens from proximity to agricultural and industrial operations.
- And nowhere in California is this more apparent than in the Central Valley.
Read more from our investigation into the Central Valley’s respiratory nightmare.
There have been 28 solar flares this week alone.
And more are most likely coming.
The active period of the sun’s 11 year cycle is now here..And that may mean absolutely nothing. Or something. It depends on the strength of the flare, of course.

Science is finally trying to figure out why dogs’ tails wag and what it means when they do.
But here’s a humbling fact for humans: Dogs already knew and will always know why.
So who’s smart now, ‘master’?
So at least we have some wiggle room before it happens.
Either way, we are seeing a vision, perhaps, of how it all might end.

You not not recognize the blanket, but you would the boy; Hence the blanket.
It’s Beebs, once again coming from a Brothel. We are told by the fine reporting of PAGE SIX of the NY POST that Bieber spent hours in the ‘whorehouse’ with two women in Brazil.
Some have lost the fever no twitter, slamming the beloved godchild for his dealing with the ‘whores.’
I’m left wondering if the piece of walking fecal matter at least spit on them when he was finished.

It’s a victory in a sense for the lucky 7. But I say, former residents unite! File a class action lawsuit to have YOUR old properties back…
Sadly most residents who were forced to leave are dying or dead.. those old days are over.
Instead, now, only surviving are memories of Centralia and images, like the one featured with this post, of the town .. I believe this may have been a stock photo from the AP that was taken from a hilltop near St. Ignatius cemetery. Could be wrong. All the houses in it are gone. And THAT is what’s wrong.

I missed it. Some weird clock malfunction .. I don’t know what happened. But Desiree Martin from the AFP and lots of others got some really amazing photographs of the event.. Thank you Internets.
And I warn you.. clicking through to the post story will give YOU the graphic shot. If you want to see those types of things..
