Maybe the world will end on 12/21? We are horrified by the loss of innocent life. Hillary Clinton passed out and has a concussion (I thought she’d be president in 2016) .. and Dick Clark has been dead for a while. With Ryan Seacrest ringing in the New Year, I don’t think there’s much of a chance we’ll make it through December. But if we do, we’ll be fine.

According to reports developing right now Secretary of State Hillary Clinton fainted and has suffered a concussion.. This is yet another developing story on a busy news day of tragedy According to the AP, Clinton was recovering from a stomach virus but has now sustained a concussion after fainting.. She is being monitored by medical professionals.. The sources reporting to the AP did not reveal more since they were not authorized to speak about Clinton's condition.. Developing story.

A powerful image from Newtown, CT. Powerful..

If they started crying, I would take their face and tell them, ‘It’s going to be OK.’ I wanted that to be the last thing they heard, not the gunfire in the hall.

Vigils, services honor Connecticut school shooting victims


(Photo: Andrew Gombert / Pool / EPA)


Residents from around the region streamed Friday into Saint Rose of Lima Roman Catholic Church in Newtown, Conn., to mourn the 20 children and six adults who were killed when a gunman opened fire in an elementary school.


Read the complete story.


Abc news gets the scoop but the photograph is from 2005… Abc news also reports someone saying Lanza was 'Obviously not well'



The story in when Adam Lanza killed his mother is evolving..



Horrifying details of the day are emerging..

A hush all over the world

I went to the mall tonight with my son only to find a very crowded but very quiet shopping plaza..



Nobody was talking, just kind of blankly staring at each other as they passed by each other.



Christmas music was playing in the background and people were trying to get their last-minute holiday shopping done before the season runs out of time. But there was something strange about the crowd.



As I mentioned it was purely quiet, again the only sound that was heard was the jingle of the bells from the loudspeaker above..



It is like a shroud of sadness was hanging over all the people there.
The events of the day in my mind that made this happen. Perhaps some were looking for escape routes in the mall just in case anything else would have flared up, or maybe we are just looking at each other in a days look thinking ‘How could someone do that to so many young children’



My son is very young, younger than the kindergarten age. But at this point does age really matter?



Anyone that dies in a senseless act of violence is one too many dead.. But when young children who are filled with innocence and love are taken away from this planet by a maniac wielding to high-powered guns, that is beyond senseless..



So the mall was quiet tonight, that I know. But what were we all thinking? Perhaps too many thoughts to even write about..



I cannot help but think about how this is now permanently changed Christmas for at least 28 families, a town, a state, a nation, and the national psyche..



No matter how cliched the term has become: we will never be the same again.

The shooter's girlfriend missing.. FBI has Ryan Lanza's computer

The shooter's girlfriend missing.. FBI has Ryan Lanza's computer

Adam not Ryan

The name is the alleged shooter is Adam Lanza..



Also in points the media goofed on so far: The media broadcast and widely circulated a photo of Ryan Lanza. Trouble is they seemed to just randomly pick a Lanza without regard to whether it was the suspected killer or not—and now the suspect is Ryan’s brother Adam..



Developing media story..

I think this sums up the national feeling right now..

Reports now indicate..

The gunman was 24.


His mother taught kindergarten at the school where the shooting occurred. 


The story is developing and changing.. 

LATEST: The Associated Press and local media reported the shooter, a 20-year-old male identified by CNN as Ryan Lanza, was also dead inside Sandy Hook Elementary School. A second person was in custody and undergoing questioning. Two handguns were recovered at the scene. Mayor Mark Boughton said several victims had been taken to local hospitals.

CBS News reporting that a "second body" was found in the home of the shooter. It's unclear if that means there are two bodies in that house or if the first body they're referring to is the shooter's.

VARIOUS REPORTS: A 2ND PERSON IS BEING QUESTIONED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SCHOOL SHOOTING TODAY IN CT.

We are living in a video game shoot-em-up drugged out culture

If people aren’t on ‘illegal drugs’ are they hooked on the prescribed kind.. I don’t know a thing about the Sandy Hook school shooter yet, nor do you.. but I bet we will learn quite a bit.


The only thing being reported so far is that he was 20 and the dad of a student there..

FOX NEWS just reported that the shooter began his spree in a kindegarden classroom today

I am revolted.. I am moved. I am crying like hell. 

WCBS-TV: "The shooter is a 20-year old with ties to the school."

The scene is being called 'atrocious' inside Sandy Hook Elementary School.

A nightmare before Christmas

Various reports are now stating that hundreds of rounds were fired from two-hand guns at the shooting scene

This is just getting worse

Networks are now going wall-to-wall with coverage of the Newtown Connecticut shooting, at least 18 now appear to be children dead..

I say this again: Children did not deserve this, no one deserved this, there are 14 dead children right now at the school in Connecticut.. At least.

CBS news and other sources are now reporting that at least 27 are dead in the Connecticut elementary school shooting

Notice at least 27, that’s right, at least 27, which means there will be more numbers coming out shortly



I am absolutely astonished and horrified by the news today, the Christmas season brings out the best in people and the worst in people, as we learn more about who shot and why we will see how the worst was brought out in someone today

(Photo: Shannon Hicks / The Newtown Bee)


State police were responding to reports of a shooting Friday at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., State Police Lt. Paul Vance told NBC News.



Vance had no information as to possible injuries and no information on the apparent shooter at Sandy Hook Elementary School.


The Newtown Bee reported that one child, apparently wounded, was carried from the scene by a police officer.


Read the developing story.





Such a terrifying photo. Kids should not have to deal with this, ever.




This picture should make all of us pause.. Seriously an elementary school shooting? The children with frightened faces is striking .. This is a disturbing day..

SLOW FRIDAY: MESSAGE ME QUESTIONS OR OTHER PIECES OF INFORMATION

SLOW FRIDAY: MESSAGE ME QUESTIONS OR OTHER PIECES OF INFORMATION

The USGS said this morning that two twin quakes struck off the coast the coast of California and Mexico. One tremor was a 6.4, another was a 6.1. Both were recorded at shallow depths. The earthquakes occurred only within seconds of each other..

There was 80 miles between both quakes, making it unlikely that the second was an aftershock..

So far this morning, no reports of damages have been seen, but people do confirm that they felt the shaking. 

BIEBER PARTS: DETAILS REVEALED ON CREEPY KIDNAP PLOT

Some may joke that they wish Justin Bieber would be castrated.  But a scary story from reality shows some may have almost had their wish granted..



There is news trickling out of the gossip BYTES online about Bieber, and a kidnap plot that would have resulted in the castration of the star, along with high prices for his testicles.



According to the story, an obsessed man named Dana Martin, worked with two other man in a plot to get Bieber’s package, and kill him.. According to the story, Martin and company is accused of arranging other men to kidnap Bieber and strangle him with his tie. Additionally, a bounty was  placed on Bieber’s ‘head’ of $2,500 per testicle..



Ironically, Martin sports a Bieber tattoo and reportedly, the plot originated after he became angry that the star failed ignored his repeated attempts to contact the young star.



While the kidnap plot was thwarted, there is little evidence that it would have been successful if put into action.



While the world may mock and laugh at Bieber’s rise to stardom, wishing anything but safety for him is awful. 



However, the fact his testicles would have gone for $2,500 each? Well that makes me wonder if a black market exists out there for such parts..

Are you dreaming of a White Christmas?


Here’s your chances according to Accuweather 

This year has been a blur, the month of December is almost over and Christmas is quickly on the way.. If we make it passed the 21st we will be fine.

There are still products made in America. Here is a list to peruse just in time for Christmas.

There are still products made in America. Here is a list to peruse just in time for Christmas.

There is a truly tragic situation ongoing in the Philippines after massive typhoon Bopha rampaged the nation, leaving victims of the storm to beg for food


What alarms me anymore is the number of disasters.. leaving one’s mind to almost become numbed thinking of which one to help with first..

I am quite tired of hearing about the fiscal cliff

Seriously, it is becoming the most over-used political term of the year. And it just took about a month for it to become that..


Can we use some other phrase now? Financial Apocalypse maybe? The Fundage Armageddon? Maybe the Money Massacre? The Line Item Limbo?


Just enough of this fiscal cliff.


Although I would be my money on this: Porn industry moguls are going to be able to come up with a great parody of the fiscal cliff by using a word that sounds similar—one I will not even write for fear my son one day will read this ..

In Washington, they have legalized gay marriage and pot
smoking…….the Bible does say, if 2 men lay together, they should be stoned.

Proving he still has the wit to host Coast to Coast AM.. if only he would come back.

I hate Caillou

Hate is a strong word.


My wife and I are somewhat annoyed with the whiny Caillou, but we deal with him because our son likes him. Ayden will grow out of it.. Until he does we tolerate it.

Why does George Noory think he's a good singer?

He is a fool. Seriously, a big fool. His ego is even larger than his awful toupee (if that is hairpiece that is, it could be a weave or some type of medical extension put in)


Nonetheless, I am sure you are referring to Mr. Noory singing as though he is Elvis. Which is purely awful … 


Art Bell is alive and well. But he is still rolling in his soon to be grave watching numbnuts try to host a late night radio show with hundreds of affiliates, destroying everything Art Bell created on Coast to Coast AM.

Nelson Mandella is in the hospital for another day, and now has “stopped talking,” according to media a report. 


Mandella is sick.. But didn’t this happen before?


For those who are not aware of the paranormal angle of Nelson Mandella, there are some out there who consider him to be a representation of time slips. He died before, according to the recollection of many people—including Art Bell, who took calls from people that agreed they remembered watching Mandella’s funeral on TV


Mandella remains in the hospital along this time line. I don’t know what happened in others.. 

Boring Sunday

My lines are open.



Ask or say anything.

are you done your xmas shopping yet?

This question was one of the more random ones I have ever received. 


The answer: No. I am not.


And on that note, as a matter of fact, if anyone comes across any relatively good seats for nice prices on Pink tickets for her March 2013 Philadelphia concert, let me know. 

I read your story about 12/21/12. So do you think the world will end?

You are probably referring to this story posted yesterday: THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT


The short answer to your question is: NO. I 


But I think it will be mighty strange watching so many think it will end. I just hope, given the fears some people manage to hold in them, we don’t have persons acting out in bizarre ways to injure each other.


Stay safe out there, everyone. We will wake up on December 22 with the same bills and Christmas decorations we went to bed with.


And if I’m wrong?


Well, it won’t matter really will it…

Greetings from the Coal Speaker family to you. This December postcard is our latest family portrait. Enjoy.


The season of joy is upon us. And tacky sweaters and mysteriously warm egg nog.

The lyrics were much, but Psy's anger is understandable especially considering at the time--which was a DECADE ago--the Iraq War wasn't very popular nor was any American military occupation in foreign countries. The anger was in reaction to two Korean girls being killed. It was an accident, but the soldiers involved were acquitted and a S.K. missionary was executed in reaction to Korea's support of the US. As an American, I admit that our country isn't all pure and good as we'd like to think.

Thanks for the note. Your point is well taken. What I find amazing about this story though is how, now that PSY has been forced to apologize, some in stardom have to almost shed their true feelings and put on a fake exterior just to keep allowing the money to flow in.


Think of it.. this guy rises from nowhere and becomes a 2012 sensation, to the point of which he is on the AMAs and his dance is being attempted by drunken fools at weddings across our American landscape. And then we come to learn that he was disgusted enough by America prior to this to write a song about it in which he calls for some horrific things to happen to it.


The same America that is furnishing his pockets with cold hard cash.


The fact it’s even occurring is the story to me. The irony of it is what I am interested in.


I could care less if he harbors anti-American sentiment, anti-Russian, or anti-Martian. What it comes down to for me, personally, is that the Gangam style stuff is beyond sophomoric and I am truly confused as the way it excelled to a top spot in music this year. But I am equally confused by Justin’s Beiber’s rise to fame. So there’s two things I cannot grapple with in our current American pop culture.


I recall the Dixie Chicks’ fall from grace because they criticized president Bush during the Iraq war. I found what happened to them to be grossly unfair and diametrically opposed to what America was truly about (you know, free speech, remember that?) So I am not about to say that PSY does not have the right to speak or write whatever in the world he wants to.


But I will simply say that the irony cannot be escaped. The fact this story sees the light of day a week or two before he performs in front of President Obama adds drama to the whole situation.


Hope that explains my point of view a little better.
