Amy Winehouse found dead..
A life cut short..
Troubled diva..
Sold more than 5 million albums..
Flashback: In June, Winehouse was booed while on stage in Serbia after she stumbled and appeared to forget lyrics to her songs..
And now tonight, after all the online jokes, after all the barbs at her expense, she was found dead at her home in North London ..
…and now joins the ‘27 club’ with Brian Jones, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain..
Funeral workers carry out her body..
No more rehab
Singer Amy Winehouse was found dead at her apartment in London on Saturday, the UK Press Association reported. She was 27.
you seem to not think the shooting in NOrway was a radical shooting from an extreme conservative? i think it was. I could be wrong, of course, but I think we need to start looking at people closer who have certain political beliefs
…starting ‘looking’ at persons of certain political beliefs? .. And editing them? Censoring them? … Oh boy. Here we go..
Listen, first of all, without question, anyone who shoots kills maims or destroys is insane to a degree and .. even some people with political beliefs are extreme. I get it.. And yes, this disgusting creature could have been an extreme conservative. I get it ..
But deep down, there is something else at play here.. Something deeply disturbing in my mind about humans themselves. They are capable of things many others cannot even think of.. Holocausts, killing sprees, torture camps, terrorist attacks, mass shootings.. Killing of innocent children.. all disgusting, vile, and rejected by humans as a whole.
I don’t know if I am answering your question or even if you asked one, anonymous, but I certainly think that the killer is a killer first and political believer second.
Eyewitness accounts offer chilling information about Norway shooting
Some chilling accounts coming out about the island of death, Utoya.. Survivors tells how he played dead before the gunman shot him in the back.. .. one said “I could hear his boots and feel his breath’.. Another said that the gunman yelled ‘we all must die’.. Even more horrid, it was open season on the innocent: Gunman had 30 minutes for killing spree before SWAT team arrived.. Norway’s Prime Minister said, “My childhood paradise was transformed into hell”.. MORE.
Shameless plug.. but..
I have lots of coverage at http://horrorreport.com/ today on the Norway nightmare.. a true act of horror, terror, and violence .. Utoya Island became an island of death.. prayers with the nation.. And will someone, somewhere, ever be able to explain why human beings are capable of the most atrocious acts of anyone in any animal kingdom.. ? In the animal world, it’s kill or be killed. In the human species, it’s kill TO KILL..
We are, perhaps, more ‘animalistic’ than animals ….

Very chilling image.. if true, the killer standing among his dead on Utoya Island..
Front page, Aftonbldet (published in Sweden), Saturday 23 July 2011.
This newspaper, from Norway’s neighbor Sweden, has a front page photo purportedly of Norwegian terror suspect Anders Behring Breivik, standing among the bodies of his victims on Utoya Island, where the massacre of at least 80 people — including children — took place.
I’m not certain how this image was acquired but nevertheless: it’s utterly terrifying, and terribly sad.

Also noteworthy on a bad Friday
Almost everyone I know today was wearing red. Maybe the heat made them (and me) wear the color, or because of the heat I noticed more .. And speaking of heat? It’s freaking hot..
Just a bad Friday
100+ degrees everywhere.. Boehner withdrew from debt talks with Obama.. And Oslo became a bloodbath. Bad day for earth..

Borders just emailed a 'farewell'
And with that, books —at least the paper version—appear to be dead.. Site Amazon will still send them.. And Barnes will carry a bit longer. But Borders closing is big.. And guess what? We’ll miss paper. I swear we will. Goodbye paper. Though the trees will soon breathe a half sigh of relief.
FYI to Art Bell fans
He’s back in Pahrump, NV. The home in the high desert .. No news on radio but more than a few would love hearing him again..
Just outrageous!
Outlandish.. Unbelievable! Almost sophomoric! Maybe even unseemly! Perhaps even over the top.. All of that and more!
Fear not.

Quite possibly my favorite Billy Joel song — and maybe the one I hear the least.
Goodnight all.

I'm wondering?
Can you tell the morality of a nation by which? 1) it’s religious leaders, 2) the wars it chooses to fight or 3) the way it treats its prisoners?

I always wonder: Are films like this prep work for the real thing? …
Anger over Netflix price hike: Phones ringing off the hook at company..
Loyal fans angry over increase..
It’s amazing.. the world of technology, email, downloading videos on Netflix instantly.. and what do fans do? Old fashioned complaints. They pick up the phone, get angry, and talk.. Maybe there is hope for the world after all.. people do have emotions that they can express without keyboards or mouse clicks. Bravo, humanity! Bravo..
Typhoon in the Pacific: Japan waiting for next disaster
Pacific Rim Rampage: Monster at sea as Typhoon Ma-On aims for Japan.. May become a ‘Super Typhoon’ before landfall..
Expected track of Ma-On takes it to the Southern tip of Japan and back out to sea.. BUT.. Heavy rainfall is expected in the tsunami-ravaged areas north of Tokyo. All eyes are watching the little island nation that is being slammed with new disasters every time you look..
H E A T W A V E
Get ready: Heat is coming.. this week, from sea to shining sea, the American landscape is going to sizzle.. Fry eggs on the highway, water the plants.. don’t leave your pets or your elderly in cars. It’s going to be a heat wave.. Amazingly, it’s going to be 90 degrees and higher in 40 states.. This is summer 2011.
Excited?
The heat will spawn some severe weather, too..
