Who needs parents when your kids have PJs

Another example of technology extracting even bit of human interaction in life.. Pajamas will soon tell bedtime stories to your kids. Seriously..


SMART PJs will be able to talk your child to sleep, I suppose..


While the pajamas will not be able to comfort a crying child who is scared of dark shadows at bedtime, I am sure a robot soon will. And you, as a parent, can achieve your splendid plan of doing nothing while raising your child. Congrats .. now the shining and most beautiful moment of the day—bedtime—will be taken from your by technologically advanced pajamas.

New construction-themed amusement park being built in South Jersey

If only I was a kid again, I would have thoroughly enjoyed this. The hell with Hershey Park! Jersey’s going to have diggers!  You just won a Superbowl? You’re going to DIGGERLAND!!!

George Knapp, get well..

I spoke with Coast to Coast part time host George Knapp today.. he is recovering after a life threatening illness. Sepsis almost struck down the great reporter..


Get well soon, Mr. Knapp. . 


We need you back.


 I don’t quite know what to make of this.. I have written before about my speculation that Dennis Rodman may be on a secret mission in North Korea to save the planet from World War III.. But today news that he sang happy birthday to Kim Jong Un is just creepy..


You can read the full report here from CBS..


The first thing that popped into my mind when I saw the headline was that Rodman sang the song in Marilyn Monroe style to the Lil Dick-tator. 


Other players did NOT join Rodman..


This is how CBS ended its dispatch on this strange display of ….Rodmanism: 



Rodman has faced both ridicule and harsh criticism for his trips to North Korea, which some U.S. politicians and activists view as serving only as fodder for North Korean propaganda.


But he defended his visit, saying it would help “open the door” and was a “great idea for the world.”


"It’s amazing how we thrive on negativity. Does anyone know this guy’s only 31 years old?" he said of Kim, whom he calls his friend.


"Dennis, he could be 31, he could be 51," said CNN interviewer Chris Cuomo. "He’s just killed his uncle. He’s holding an American hostage."


After a schism, a question: Can atheist churches last?

Proof that organized atheism is just as religious as religion.. Now the churches of nothingness are splitting, fighting, and perhaps ruining their cause. Could there be a Martin Luther of Atheism? Someone who will bring about reform, and further the beliefs of nothingness to even believe in a stronger nothing ?

Noahs Ark Risks Collapse Without Bond Buyers by February

Shame if the park isn’t created. No, not because I am anywhere close to a literalist, but because .. seriously.. this is a fun story and I have always remembers the Noah’s Ark song from my childhood!


As insane as the Noah story has always been to me, I’d LOVE to go to the theme park. Just alone to hear ‘scientists’ try to tell me why dinosaur eggs weren’t able to hatch on the boat.. 


And if there’s a rid similar to the last scene of EVAN ALMIGHTY I’d surely pay..

“Mein Kampf” Tops Amazon Charts


I will let your formulate your own thoughts as to why this is occurring..The article doesn’t present theory but leads to further questions. 


I do predict though that the article describing how popular Mein Kampf is becoming will only lead to the book becoming even more popular..

Bravo to Saturday Night LIVE for finally adding an African American woman, Sasheer Zamata,  to the cast—first time since Maya Rudolph left the show..


A little late, sure.. And yes, Lorne Michaels, you’re show is becoming a bit outdated and stale.


But I think that happens with Saturday Night LIVE often.. There are transitional periods of time in which the show re-adjusts.. heck, I still remember when some famed stars left in the mid 1990s to do movies.. People thought the show would end. Until Will Ferrell and other greats came along and made the late 90s into the early 2000s some of the funniest seasons of the show yet..


Saturday Night LIVE will have trouble being the rebel without a cause that came in the late 1970s. But there are always chances for the show to becoming the ‘thing’ again. Maybe the inclusion of some new members of the cast will help. Certainly, Sasheer Zamata will help just in the fact that SNL has been a little uncultured in its cast members recently.


And the other positive: Kenan Thompson will finally be relieved of playing any role in which a black woman is needed.

Alfred Hitchcock's unseen Holocaust documentary to be screened

Did you know..? Alfred Hitchcock made a film about Nazi death camps?But according to this UK INDEPENDENT article, Alfred Hitchcock, the master of macabre, was so haunted and disturbed by actual footage of the Holocaust that he stayed away from the Pinewood Studios for a full week after seeing it..


And now, soon, we will all get to see the horrifying footage that haunted Hitchcock.. The INDEPENDENT reports:



In 1945, Hithcock had been enlisted by his friend and patron Sidney Bernstein to help with a documentary on German wartime atrocities, based on the footage of the camps shot by British and Soviet film units. In the event, that documentary was never seen.


"It was suppressed because of the changing political situation, particularly for the British," suggests Dr Toby Haggith, Senior Curator at the Department of Research, Imperial War Museum. "Once they discovered the camps, the Americans and British were keen to release a film very quickly that would show the camps and get the German people to accept their responsibility for the atrocities that were there."


The film took far longer to make than had originally been envisaged. By late 1945, the need for it began to wane. The Allied military government decided that rubbing the Germans’ noses in their own guilt wouldn’t help with postwar reconstruction.


Five of the film’s six reels were eventually deposited in the Imperial War Museum and the project was quietly forgotten.


In the 1980s, the footage was discovered in a rusty can in the museum by an American researcher. It was eventually shown in an incomplete version at the Berlin Film Festival in 1984 and then broadcast on American PBS in 1985 under the title Memory of the Camps but in poor quality and without the missing sixth reel. The original narration, thought to have been written by future Labour Cabinet Minister Richard Crossman in collaboration with Australian journalist Colin Wills, was read by actor Trevor Howard.



The Imperial War museum has now put together the real footage along with other material and have prepared the film to be seen in the same way that Hitchcock did.. it will be shown on British TV in 2015 when the world marks the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Europe—the film will then be seen at other theaters and film festivals..

2014 is going to be a bad year for horror movies

Looks like the relics in your closet will be the must watch films of the year.. There aren’t too many horror flicks worth looking forward to in 2014. A shame, too.. So much was great in 2013. The CONJURING was perhaps among the best.


In 2014 there will not be any gems worth mining..

Honey Boo Boo, family 'really sore' after car wreck

I already see bloggers and Tweeters and others mocking the family and making some horrible jokes about this car accident.


Yes the show is deplorable. And no, I don’t watch it—not even the clips. But come on, people.. show some class, and interrupt your hate for a few minutes and just hope for the best for some of your fellow humans. 


Honey Boo Boo, family 'really sore' after car wreck

On January 6, 2014,  I was listening to Ground Zero Radio with Clyde Lewis. His guest was Peter Davenport from the national UFO reporting center.. Davenport spoke to Lewis about a seemingly large uptick in UFO reports since January 1 of this year..


A bit into the show, I learned about a UFO case that may forever haunt me—and I should have known about it since I know exactly where this incident happened.  Davenport spoke about Todd Sees from Northumberland County, Pa. Sees vanished in 2002.. Sees was 39 and lived at the base of Montour Ridge .. he was married and a father of two. One Sunday morning he took his ATV to the top of the mountain.. He never returned. They found his four wheeler. They also found his shoe in a tree.. they found his body some time later badly mutilated.. You can read more here about the case (and you can find some archived news stories from the DAILY ITEM here) or watch this video of homicide detective Butch Witkowski speak about this..


While the UFO movement has hitched a ride to the Todd Sees story, we must always strive to take stories of this nature with large grains of salt.


No matter what, though, this story in itself may haunt you for a long time after..

Canada's ex-defense minister: Aliens would give us more tech if we'd stop wars


If he is crazy, then he’s crazy. If aliens are real, then he may be right. But what about those hostile aliens, you know, the ones in the cigar shaped craft that take us? What about the Grays, who do bad things to people from the South?  Paul Hellyer doesn’t answer much about that, but he does say that we need to give up warfare in order to get help from the creature above..
