ART BELL FOOLS DAY?

Art Bell posted a message today that he is coming back.
If it’s an April Fools joke, there may be lots of Facebook unfriending afterwards..

When I told my father about the possible return, he didn’t even want to hear about it.. My dad was the biggest Bell fan for years. Until the SIRIUS XM departure.. he felt slighted. Lots of fans did.

The ones who held on may be even more slighted if this turns out to be a joke or they have to wait another year and a half to hear a potential show..

White House boasts 7 MILLION Obamacare enrollments, but secretive study shows just 858,000 newly insured Americans have paid up

Oh boy… Here we go. April fools will be playing talking heads all over tonight’s cable ‘news’ shows…

White House boasts 7 MILLION Obamacare enrollments, but secretive study shows just 858,000 newly insured Americans have paid up

I thought a lot about this before posting..

I debated whether or not I should spread the word of a horrible crime .. does me posting about it continue the horror? I don’t know. But I can tell you  this, when I read the story of a young innocent baby boy dying in a hospital in Jermyn PA, I teared up.. I will tell you why in a second..

We know this: 10-month-old Silas was brutally beaten by his mother’s boyfriend. Charges have been filed against Eddie Widdick ..Baby Silas had brain injuries, a rib fracture, and hemorrhages in both eyes.. he had bruises on his head and torso.. Widdick is now in in a jail in Lackawanna County on $150,000 bail.

Child crimes have always happened—I get that.. 

But my inquisitive mind read the comments on the Citizens VOICE newspaper page.. one commenter mentioned that Widdick’s Facebook page was still active.. It is. I poured through some recent history as the page was not yet deleted and information was not set to private.. While I certainly will not post the photos, but a number of posts actually had baby Silas in them.. There are comments on that post saying RIP and “you sick F*&” to Widdick.. So many images of the baby were beautiful.. But Widdick, the charged man, eventually beat this child to death days after many of the pictures were taken, prosecutors say..

There is something very macabre about what I did.. In a sense, I feel I peeled back an onion, but when I did it was rotten to the core..  I feel very guilty about seeing these photos. First off, they are someone else’s private collection—though on Facebook so often people don’t realize how much private stuff just gets put out there for all to see, including this.. And secondly, obviously, the innocence of any child is so clear, especially when a horrible crime happens to him or her. This baby is no different.

I just want to forget I read this headline.. I want to forget I saw those Facebook images.. I just want to eliminate the sadness from my brain.

I don’t think I can..

Remember when every laughed at the woman who sued after being burned by hot coffee at McDonalds? She was the villain everyone loved to hate.

Fast forward to 5 minutes into this video and see what really happened to this ‘money hungry villain’..

Pity the fool who celebrates April Fools

I loathe April Fools Day. I have always loathed April Fools Day, from the time when children used to scream ‘April Fools!” in shrill voices after completing some type of unfunny prank to today.

And now today, with the internet, it can be April Fools every day. How many times have you seen someone fall for a fake story on the ONION? Or even fake news from the mainstream media..?

But the worst of the worst in our modern times are these undoubtedly fake ‘news’ stories that passed around from reader to reader on April fools day.. I saw a few really unfunny stories the moment I woke up this morning. For example, a website I follow that reports actual legitimate information regarding solar flares announced that a killshot had exploded from the sun and we were doomed to die. So tacky, so not funny.. and so possible one day in the future that it is REALLY not humorous at all.. I equate that with the Weather Channel giving fake tornado reports and alarming entire towns that imminent destruction is on the horizon.

Other definites to expect on April Fools: The fraud stories that your favorite celebrity has died.. the tales that some weird scientific discovery has just be made..

Perhaps the very most annoying April fools jokes still come from terrestrial radio of the 20th century. Disc jockeys who are aging and still want to be the next ‘Jerky Boy’ come up with some of the most ludicrously unfunny ‘pranks.’

But with every holiday we ‘celebrate’ there is a root meaning behind it.. no different for April fools. The 1st of April is really a day with an intention that you do thinks to make other people look like fools. True fools.. Jokes on them kind of stuff..

There are ancient precursors to the modern April fools day found in Roman and Medieval feasts..There are different customs of jokes from around the world..
Some think that there are religious reasons why April fools pranks started.. and if religious history is involved, no doubt pagan rituals also abound. People do trace April fools back to some pagan traditions..
And yes.. going full steam ahead down from the pagan path to a point of no return,  some people even equate April fools to Satan himself.

In the end, we know this:
Don’t trust any news link you read today.

Try to maintain your composure when some annoying co worker shouts “APRIL FOOLS!!!” at you..
Know that it’s only one day, and it’s almost over.
And this: You will find out a lot about the ‘sense of humor’ of people—especially those who have no ability to tell jokes or be funny at all and still try today.. so often those without any common sense of humor will have an immense belly laugh at their own jokes..

The good news is that as a tradition April fools pranks are pulled before noon of the day—those done after bring a curse and bad luck to the prankster.. then who’s the fool to be pitied?

I despise and always have despised April Fools Day.

A little more on that is coming..

Discovery Strands Contestants in Wilderness for Live Reality Show

Discovery will strand eight people in the wilderness for 42 days with only the clothes on their backs for a new live television event. STORY: NBC News’ Willie Geist to Host Discovery’s ‘Everest Jump Live’

This pretty much seals the deal for me: I am done with TV. If this show gets good ratings, I may be done with humans, too. Intelligence has stopped evolving folks.

Discern away.. prove this video wrong.

It’s creepy nonetheless.

Have a nice night.
Sleep tight.

Chelsea Handler may be leaving E! after her contract expires

I have noticed that so many either love or hate her.. there’s no middle ground.

My take is that she is hardcore mean and nasty, but I always laugh even if I tune in for just a minute.

But if this story is true, you won’t have her to kick around anymore…

Paging Lisa Lampanelli! You may be next.

Fairy tales..
Or true stories..?

The SMART SET from Drexel University has an interesting little story (and humorously sarcastic) about whether or not the car killed with fairies .. you know, those little creatures who plagued so many in history?

Fairies are  believed, by some, to be real.. to be actual little creatures that appear in legends and folklore.  

But it’s not just stories from old times.. those old times are still a ‘flyin.. and the same fairy flying tomorrow never seems to be dyin’..

In 2011, an out of work bricklayer in Mexico said he caught a fairy and preserved it in formaldehyde.. 

Other websites are dedicated to the idea that fairies are real ..

BUT ALAS, should you see a fairy, perhaps it’s best not to surround yourself with their radiant light. They could be of darkness, and perhaps there to steal your soul with their evil.. 

That .. or they are JUST NOT REAL.

Garbage pail kids

(When will this stop being ‘breaking news’?) New debris has been sighted but no confirmed signs of the Flight 370.. 

I think there is a larger story we are missing: The oceans are apparently (and obviously) littered with garbage and ‘debris’ as far as the eye can see..

Nice work humans.

Meanwhile, while you were trying to access the Health Care website, Obama was eatin’ good in the neighborhood of King Abdullah, as photos prove..

ATTACK OF THE KILLER ELEPHANT ON PAUSE TO SAVE A BABY

I am constantly amazed by elephants.. And this article equally interested me. 

A killer elephant on the rampage through a West Bengal village STOPPED to save a crying baby beneath the rubble of a house it had begun to demolish.. 

And besides that nice little story, my GOD, ELEPHANTS VS HUMAN should be the next SYFY special…Or just put a camera on an elephant’s tusk in West Bengal and see the action as it rampages the streets…

Stories changing .. something is very odd here.. every account about flight 370 has altered. Officials now have Released New Last Words for Missing Malaysia Flight

Something is weird here.. Every single story and every single “fact” we thought we knew or know about missing Flight 370 is wrong.

And now even the LAST WORDS we thought we knew have been changed!

It went from “all right goodnight” to “goodnight, Malaysian three seven zero.”

Is anything real?
