THE GHOST ON THE FISHING TRIP!
The ghost man on the fishing trip..
This image has gone viral..Dateline Tifton GA..
A FOX affiliate reports,
Jessica Ogletree posted a picture taken by her 13-year-old daughter to Facebook that had a little something extra looming in the background. No we’re not talking about her brother in the green shirt. Look a little closer at the shadowy figure (Did your eyes widen, because ours sure did!).The image has been shared thousands of times on the original Facebook post and even more on other social networking platforms..
“Notice my son Kolton in the background and then notice the gentleman standing to his right!!!” Jessica posted on Facebook.There’s just one problem with the man in the background. According to Jessica, he doesn’t exist! (Gasp!)
“Ya’ll this gentleman was NOT with them today and there was no one else at these back ponds where they were fishing. The only people there today were Haley, Kolton and their grandparents…”
According to her mother, Haley was going back through pictures she had taken during the day and noticed the (dare we say it), “ghost man.” Like any good teenager, she freaked out and called her mom. Mom wasn’t so much freaked out as she was excited.
“I personally think it’s pretty cool because today is Kolton’s birthday and he caught the biggest fish he’s ever caught! It looks like the man is happy for him!”
Is that a fasnacht in your mouth or are you just fat on Tuesday?
It's Fastnacht Day, also known as Fat Tuesday. Traditionally, fastnachts were made by Pennsylvania Dutch housewives on
Fat Tuesday to use up all the fat in the house before Lent. "Fastnacht"
is a German word meaning "night before the fast."

OSCAR GATE!
OSCARGATE!!!
The conspiracy theories abound.
The conspiracy theories abound.
Last night now, without question, one of the strangest events in Hollywood history played out on LIVE TV for the world to see.. a movie announced as the winner. And the winner announcing another as disarray filled the stage.
According to Marc Snetiker of Entertainment Weekly Emma Stone said she had her Best Actress card on her person the entire time. “I also was holding my Best Actress in a leading role card that entire time, so whatever story… I don’t meant [sic] to start stuff, but whatever story that was, I had that card,” she reportedly said backstage after the Oscars.
An explanation from The Academy could also explain some things. As Bustle’s Lia Beck wrote: “There are two people who knew the winners before they were named, Brian Cullinan and Martha L. Ruiz, from the accounting firm PwC.” Jarett Wieselman of Buzzfeed pointed out on Twitter that Cullinan told MarketWatch before the show:
From a security perspective, we double up everything. That’s why there’s two of us. We have two briefcases, that are identical, and we have two entire sets of winning envelopes. Martha carries one of those briefcases, I carry the other.
With two sets of awards, no wonder things got a little chaotic. But envelopegate, as it has now been dubbed, may require a more creative explanation. Because if Twitter is good for anything, it’s showcasing the best — and worst, and craziest, and most unbelievable, and… you get it — conspiracy theories on the web.
The high degree of celeb strangeness has been at the top of the fold on Drudge all day..
Welcome to LA LA LAND
WARREN BEATTY BLEW IT
Hollywood snaps at Oscars and calls it the biggest disaster in award history..
The presenters for the final award — Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway — were incorrectly given the best actress award envelope. A confused Beatty saw Emma Stone’s name and “La La Land,” and handed the envelope to Dunaway, who then announced the musical as the Best Picture winner.
The “La La Land” cast took the stage and producers began their speeches. But they stopped midway when they realized their error.
“There’s a mistake. ‘Moonlight’ you guys won best picture,” Jordan Horowitz said to the shocked Dolby Theater audience. “This is not a joke, come up here” the producer added. “Moonlight has won best picture.”
Beatty then returned to the microphone to explain: “I want to tell you what happened. I opened the envelope and it said Emma Stone, ‘La La Land.’ That’s why I took such a long look at Faye and at you. I wasn’t trying to be funny.”
Here is the video while it lasts..

Bill Paxton dead at 61
“It is with heavy hearts we share the news that Bill Paxton has passed away due to complications from surgery,” a family representative said in a statement. “A loving husband and father, Bill began his career in Hollywood working on films in the art department and went on to have an illustrious career spanning four decades as a beloved and prolific actor and filmmaker. Bill’s passion for the arts was felt by all who knew him, and his warmth and tireless energy were undeniable. We ask to please respect the family’s wish for privacy as they mourn the loss of their adored husband and father.”
The political Razzies: Dinesh D’Souza robbed Ben Affleck of much deserved discredit
My opinion doesn't amount to more than a hill of rotted beans, but I think this year's Razzies Award pick for 'worst' film is the 'worst' pick they could have chosen.. It went political. The movie yielding the the banner of worst of 16: HILLARY'S AMERICA by Dinesh D’Souza..
The annual tongue-in-cheek Razzie awards, which serve as an antidote to Hollywood's Oscars ceremony, named Dinesh D'Souza's "Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party" as the worst film of 2016. D'Souza, a conservative commentator and best-selling author, was named worst actor for narrating his documentary and worst director alongside Bruce Schooley. Worst actress went to the person who portrayed Clinton in the film.

I get that Hollywood is anti-Trump, pro Hillary.. I understand that this is their time to make statements.. But I am increasingly wary of how political EVERYTHING is .. Even the Razzies, the awards meant to poke fun and be sarcastic to Hollywood. Instead it's given Hollywood a vehicle to poke at Trump. Which is fine. Which is dandy. But it's also getting obnoxious. I just want to go through a day without seeing anything about Donald Trump, or politics.. Just one day. 24 hours.. A cycle of freedom and beauty! But it will never abound. Instead, it's everywhere.. it surrounds us.. it inhabits us.. it precludes us from sanity.
The Razzies gave BATMAN VS SUPERMAN four awards. If it wasn't for the political statement that was being made, Affleck's awful disasterpiece action film would have been the sound winner for worst movie in 2016. It would have been well deserved. BATMAN VS SUPERMAN featured an array of boredom coupled with a sickening and dazzling display of non-creativity. It was the worst movie of 2016.
Dinesh D’Souza robbed Affleck!

You probably hate noisy eaters, right? There is a very good reason why.
Misophonia, a disorder which means sufferers have a hatred of sounds such as eating, chewing, loud breathing or even repeated pen-clicking, was first named as a condition in 2001.
In an report published in the journal Current Biology, scientists said scans of misophobia sufferers found changes in brain activity when a 'trigger' sound was heard.
Brain imaging revealed that people with the condition have an abnormality in their emotional control mechanism which causes their brains to go into overdrive on hearing trigger sounds. The researchers also found that trigger sounds could evoke a heightened physiological response, with increased heart rate and sweating.

The Empire Strikes Back! White House bans news outlets from briefing!!
This is how the front page of CNN looks at the hour.. major journalistic enterprises have been blocked from attending the White House briefing Friday afternoon..
THE THE NEW YORK TIMES REPORTS...
Journalists from The New York Times and two other news organizations were prohibited from attending a briefing by President Trump’s press secretary on Friday, a highly unusual breach of relations between the White House and its press corps.
Reporters from The Times, CNN and Politico were not allowed to enter the West Wing office of the press secretary, Sean M. Spicer, for the scheduled briefing. Aides to Mr. Spicer allowed in reporters from only a handpicked group of news organizations that, the White House said, had been previously confirmed to attend.
Organizations allowed in included Breitbart News, the One America News Network and The Washington Times, all with conservative leanings. Journalists from ABC, CBS, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and Fox News also attended.
Reporters from Time magazine and The Associated Press, who were set to be allowed in to the briefing, chose not to attend in protest of the White House’s actions.
“Nothing like this has ever happened at the White House in our long history of covering multiple administrations of different parties,” Dean Baquet, the executive editor of The Times, said in a statement. “We strongly protest the exclusion of The New York Times and the other news organizations. Free media access to a transparent government is obviously of crucial national

The half-brother of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un was assassinated using the deadliest nerve agent ever created. VX is a chemical so potent that the United Nations classes it as a weapon of mass destruction. Malaysian police revealed Friday that Kim Jong Nam's body contained traces of VX, a colorless, odorless, tasteless liquid that's deadly in microscopic amounts.
