50 upcoming budget crises
The ‘day of rage’ in Wisconsin and why it matters to the United States.. will it be Egypt in America?
It would appear the crises over state budgets within the next several weeks and months will only intensify.. Most states within the seemingly fragile union are billions in the red.. The federal government also runs out of spending cash in March and unless a miracle occurs and Congress is able to pass a continuing resolution, there may very well be a federal shutdown of government within the United States—this at the same time states crumble under the weight of oppressive debt..
A little note for Coasties out there
There has been more than some questions lately over the state of the long running late night radio show Coast to Coast AM, originally hosted by Art Bell and now George Noory. Art Bell vanished from the site in late 2010, only to put back on again—but rumors are rampant after a strange ‘30’ webcam shot with ‘long live the hot air’ being said on the image that Art Bell posted.. Noory announced his contract has just been extended.. And now Art Bell has addressed the pirates at the Fantastic Forum, the website he has been a member of since the year 2000. In his post, he said he’s enjoying Manilla, his ABs are fine, and he misses the desert. Nothing at all mentioned of his child named Coast to Coast AM, but lots mentioned about how to find him on ham radio..
While the most recent solar flare had little impact on earth besides beautiful photos in some areas, the sunspot activity in 1158 has not stopped yet And now a new cluster of 1161-1162 has erupted..Here are ten ways in which Google runs the world..
Free as a bird...The butterfly effect, Homeland Security version
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No it’s a new pocket sized spy device!
Angry birds is taking on a whole new meaning.. this one isn’t a game, instead it’s a very real spy drone—and a pocket size version of one at that.. It was developed by a firm for the Pentagon, and we are being told that it flies for minutes and will spy on ‘bad guys’.. However the definition of ‘bad guys’ can often be either broad, or defined by someone who doesn’t like you.. Eye spy with my eye.. a bird in the sky..
A week of surging emotions
..and now weekend anticipation for a child to arrive.
And you know the best proof that it hit me hard this week? I teared up watching a History Channel special this morning on how dinosaurs were obliterated from earth.

Cheers.. But to what? The night Obama held a tech summit but no one told us what they talked about..
Egypt.. Iran.. Greece.. Spain. Bahrain.
And Wisconsin Ohio and most likely lots of other states from now until the heat of summer begins.,

And I promise, this is the last dead dog Bailey post
But I am fiercely debating whether to remove her from my logo. Either way, a baby carriage or high chair will soon join it..
The mixture of nationalities leads to strange things
I’m half Irish. And I’m half Russian. I’ve often thought that the Russian side of me is why so often I’m paranoid, angry at the small things, and conspiratorial with the belief that people who don’t even know they are out to get me are actually out to get me..
It’s the Irish in me that tames me.. It makes me emotional, it connects me to the earth, and it leads me to the spiritual side of life.
The tension between both sides is often at play. . And no more than now, after the death of an uncle and the death of a family dog.
Now let me say, I have had very few occurrences of those ‘gotcha’ moments in life when a God is proven or when an ‘other’ world becomes apparent. As a matter of fact, the only time I can remember a human experience being other worldly was an impromptu memorial for a deceased niece named Grace.. the other memory is after a former dog named Newton passed away a few short years ago. I swear, on any one’s grave, that Newt walked passed my door only a few days after death. I, and a friend, saw him. Although the friend didn’t believe it, or ever talk about it again, even when prompted.
The other moment came tonight.. my dog Bailey was put to sleep last night after a severe final battle with cancer. Tonight, as Tara and I were getting baby clothes ready, we both heard the door open and feet walking by the baby’s room..
We both heard of, but Tara doesn’t want to talk about it.
Maybe it was a last visit from a dog before going to the other side.. wherever that other side is..
So do I believe in God? Do I believe in an after life? The Irish side of me weeps and cries and says yes. The Russian side doubts and worries and panics and says maybe.. At least I can so no side of me says no.
