Where's the love?
Hope they find it after I find my remote..
I wonder if George W Bush is singing along..!
Thank God for Slash
But a shame Fergie can’t keep up. I’m actually wishing Christina Aguilera was back ruining the National Anthem..,
For a second I thought American Idol was on instead of the Super Bowl
I only realized it was still the game when the Black Eyed Peas were not kicked off the stage..
The commercials may be the worst I've ever seen..
Except of course the kid in the Darth Vader costume starting the VW Passat..
And as for tonight's game..
The Green Bay Packers have been predicted to win, some say by 2 and as much as 10 by others. Steelers lose by 10? Either all of the prognosticators are correct or the fix is in.. We will see. Not that football is like pro-wrestling or anything…
It's officially noted.
Shopping in a grocery store in the dead of winter on a post-stuck-in-the-house ice storm Sunday brings out that special touch of insanity in people.
2011 CQ1 was a close call for earth
The earth almost had a possible significant impact from an asteroid on February 4 .. While these events occur all of the time, the troubling aspect of this most recent earth-danger was that it was only noticed hours before potential impact. Richard Kowalski at Mount Bigelow Observatory near Tuscon, Arizona found it, and quickly notified the rest of the scientific community.
The name: 2011 CQ1. It was small, only 6.5 to 10 feet across — but that still could have caused serious problems for wherever on earth it would have struck.
Some other sources for the news:
Space: Tiny Asteroid Zips Close By Earth
Universe Today: Small Asteroid Just Buzzed Earth
…with all of our modern technology and our advanced knowledge, we only notice a possible earth changing event hours before it hits.. Wow.

Not to be crude, but it’s literally so icy that while my dog Lady Bailey was .. making a movement.. she was also gliding down the yard at the same time.

Barbara Walters’ special tonight on ABC is quite thought provoking.. David Letterman, years ago, had Regis Philbin on his show where they spoke about a typical check up.. The day after, the entertainment world was shocked to learn of Letterman’s dramatic and necessary open heart surgery.. When Letterman came back, Robin Williams appeared as a doctor making light of Letterman’s surgery. Regis had his own open heart surgery in 2007.. Robin Williams in 2009.
While of course I am not at all simplifying the issue of claiming there is anything ‘contagious’ about open heart surgery, but the reason I bring it up is that these three influential people—not to mention President Bill Clinton, reporter Charlie Rose, and reporter Barbara Walters—would have all been potentially taken away from earth and placed into the next realm..
Were they are to have succumbed to their ultimate fate, there would be plenty of lessons left untaught..
The biggest names of our generation all had the same disease.. And amazingly they are all alive to tell us why we need to stay on guard for the same thing.
DRINK UP..
Just in time for the weekend, Men’s Healthis out with a full listing of the drunkest cities in the United States..
Did you make the cut?
More drinking needed?
Do the cities with the highest amounts of heart disease also coincide with the drunkest of all?
While I’d have to do more research on that, Men’s Health has the full list, but reprinted here is the top ten:
1.) Fresno, CA
2.) Reno, NV
3.) Billings, MT
4.) Riverside, CA
5.) Austin, TX
6.) St. Louis, MO
7.) San Antonio, TX
8.) Lubbock, TX
9.) Tucson, AZ
10.) Bakersfield, CA
Should we have a phobia over Apophis?
NASA says no.. WE should still live after 2029—and 2036. That’s only under the scenario of us making it through 2012..
And if we make it through December, I believe we’ll be fine.
Texas the iceland
The Super Bowl days away, and now people are having trouble catching flights due to winter weather. I can’t imagine it is something the NFL would have dreamed would happen, even this time of year, in a Southern state. Perhaps Super Bowl 2012 will be moved to Mexico..(at least they have power, unlike parts of Texas including hospitals)… As a matter of fact, there have been more than a few angry voices talking about Texas having problems keeping power in—except for the location of this year’s Super Bowl..

Egypt state television tonight is showing images of flowers .. All the while panic, chaos, and anarchy rule on the streets
That plus journalists are being threatened for simply showing what is occurring.. The world is watching — or at least trying to … Images on TV of Brian Williams from NBC News using a flashlight to light his own face to report the events of Egypt are simply surreal. We are watching this live on TV and the Internet. This is history. And as I’ve said before, living through history is never pleasant..
Three major news networks today faced threats
ABCNEWS REPORTER THREATENED WITH BEHEADING…
CBSNEWS Lara Logan, Crew Detained…
FOXNEWS reporter, cameraman beaten, hospitalized…
These nets, along with many others, facing threats in Egypt.. Things are seemingly escalating beyond control on the streets of rage.
"DEMOCRACY NOW"? ..
Things are growing in insanity in Egypt.. While demonstrators shout ‘democracy now,’ other pro Mubarak forces march into Tahrir Square on camels, hellbent to injure or kill.. and all the while journalists are braving the streets, hiding cameras, and trying to show images of the revolution and devolution in Egypt..

Late Thursday evening mellow-out music, as provided by a Youtube video of Low — Silver Rider (featuring some wild images from user and creator sharpiefinepoiny ). Hopefully everyone’s day was quiet, without major incident of negativity.. and may your thirsty Thursday drinks be cold and hearts be warm in the middle of winter..

The joys of the jobless?
Money quote from this article:
But really, once you stop working you realize that you don’t need a whole lot of money. I mean, I think that when you start working, you’re essentially trading your leisure time (i.e. happiness) for money. And then when you’re working and miserable, the natural impulse is to try and reverse that transaction and buy some of your happiness back. So you become a compulsive shopper

Hopefully we’re not on the Eve of Destruction.. Just maybe we’re only on the eve of an early spring..
Be positive.. right? … as Australia’s Cyclone churns and Egypt’s Cairo burns.. and even the Jordon River has bodies.. but tell me over and over and over again my friends… that you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction
State Department says US government flights out of Egypt after Thursday 'unlikely'
…take the message as it reads. It’s a game changing day..
This television is rated FS for freaking scary.. Dramatic scenes are unfolding on live TV and real time Internet. But living through history never was pleasant, these events included. Prayers for Cairo and Egypt as battle lines get drawn and rational protest gets drowned out by madness in the streets..
The world is on fire
Watching live coverage on Msnbc with Brian Williams and Richard Engel .. They are broadcasting live from Egypt in what was once a safe location .. on CNN Anderson Cooper is hovering inside as his location got more dangerous.. The disintegrating situation in Egypt appears to be spinning out of control for the entire world to see
Woman grows 24-inch long fingernails because she wants to meet Oprah.
Yes because that is exactly what Oprah wants to see.

UFO in the holy city?
A mysterious orb of light caught in camera dropping from the sky over Israel..
At this point, no plausible earthly explanations besides trickery of some kind—but even that is doubtful with multiple videos of the ball of light being existent.
Maybe we're looking for new real estate?
There are about 50 or so planets mass thinks are good for life..
Moving from your home is one thing, but would you ever consider moving from your planet?

Case in point on the journalist attacks in Egypt, and as mentioned on Coal Speaker earlier today, here is the video of Anderson Cooper in the midst of an angry crowd around him in Egypt..

There can be no way we are alone..
NASA says there are over 1000 potential alien planets… and probably a lot more than what our cameras can capture..

Just as a point of reference..
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina’s peak winds were about 175 MPH or so, and caused vast destruction.. The storm being seen in Australia at this moment may have winds in excees of 183 mph… This storm is larger than Katrina and stronger as well..
