A horrific but must-read article
As a world, we forgot the atrocities of the last century—namely the roaring 1990s, while the world prospered absolute horror unfolded in Bosnia.. This past week we were reminded again of the crimes of war with Mladic’s capture.. And now this: Mevludin Oric speaks of ants crawling into his mouth while he pretended to die with 8000 other boys and men... He escaped. And now his story is told.. And how horrid it is. Oric is one of four men known to have survived the Srebrenica massacre—and his words are must read, but a warning to the faint of heart: it’s disturbing..horrible. And sadly all too real.

Music in his life..
My son, three months old, is mesmorized at Lady Gaga’s HBO concert. Although my wife is choosing to cover his eyes at a few parts.. ears at others. He laughed during Poker Face.
What old wives tales say: Birds hitting your window could be an omen of death
But as someone pointed out, cars weren’t invented when wives tales were.. so a bird hitting a car window can still be left in the unknown category..
What old wives tales say: Birds hitting your window could be an omen of death
Just got another comment from a reader.. another strange bird incident
Yes, indeed.. something is amiss in the airborne population..
If Casey Anthony is found guilty, it may very well be because of today
Today’s trial cannot be anything but a devastating day for the defense team .. The idea of Casey’s father sexually abusing her was the bombshell on day one, but the more I think of these disturbing 911 calls played today the more I feel that the deck is stacked against Casey.. 31 days without knowing where her daughter is? .. while she parties? .. while she cusses out her mother? .. while the pretends a housekeeper did it?
The jury has a lot to take away from today.. raw emotion and heartache on the stand.
The 911 calls are the key, I say, to the jury’s eventual verdict..
No matter the time or age, truth cannot be shielded.. the light of day always finds it.
Can you hear me now?
Not so shocking, but interesting that the WHO is coming to grips with piles of science that has already sounded alarm bells over cell phone radiation.. It may cause cancer … May. World Health Organization has declared the radiofrequency electromagnetic fields emitted by cell phones to be “possibly carcinogenic to humans..
Some don’t agree that cell phones are possibly carcinogenic..
There hasn’t been much on this website concerning the Casey Anthony trial, but today may be the day I got hooked on the news..
Today’s rocking day in court: 911 calls were played of Cindy Anthony’s frantic report on the missing Kaylee..
Cindy Anthony has an emotional day on the stand..
The calls played were frantic.. raw emotion. Casey Anthony’s f-word laden diatribe from court on the night she was arrested talking to her family painted her to be callous and uncaring about the Kaylee.. The mom saying the car smelled of a rotting corpse.. the Febreeze used to take the scent of death away..
Pure, raw, and unfiltered emotions live on TV for the world to see.. As Casey Anthony looked on..
The American court system is all about innocence until guilt is proven, beyond reasonable doubt.. But the circumstantial evidence—and evidence in general—seemingly is piling up.
31 days without knowing where your daughter is, while you party, blame a nanny.. with imaginary friends as well..
Unbelievable testimony.. But even more unbelievable recordings of the disturbing words of Casey Anthony..

STRANGE BUT TRUE
I have gotten a few comments and a few private messages about birds hitting windshields across the nation.. Are birds out of whack? Cell phones perhaps destroying their senses? … their typically refined radar abilities gone? .. It’s strange to say the least. And maybe indeed a product of more than coincidence that that birds are having just a few odd encounters with glass..
Well that is 'definitive' ...!
Radiation from cell phones can possibly cause cancer, the World Health Organization said today
All this news that the weekend was filled with chaos and gang violence throughout the nation
First thing I thought: What else is new. Gangs are plentiful and constantly battling.. But when you see some of the more extreme urban warfare this weekend, such as Facebook-organized gang warfare on beaches in Boston, it gives pause to the American mind. Is this what Memorial Day and other holidays have come to? Is this why vets have gone missing and dead … to allow gangs to terrorize citizens on a summer beach?

My strange and rambling thoughts on being a father in the 21st century
Someone who read this already said it was overly negative. But I present it as a hopeful series of thoughts.. It’s not a fun world, but as a parent, I’m trying .. and making my child’s life the best ever is now the central point of why I am here.
Oh the perils of parenthood.. the faulty ground of fatherhood.. So much running through my mind these days as my son grows older.
Back in February when a new life entered this world, my wife and I celebrated.. As time goes on, I become more fearful.
It seems that civilization itself is a heap of wreckage. It appears that society is breaking down and becoming a swampland of corruption.. The entire land of the free and home of the brave seemingly is circling in a toilet of depravity. Maybe I’m just overdoing the amount of bad news out there, but a few notes of interest lately showcase why I am a fearful father.
The TSA is groping children—or at least they were going to—at a prom. Checking for weapons.. the breeding ground for a pscyhological test appears to have begun at airports. And now, in our modern day life, we are faced with a future in which some could be touching, groping, and grabbing, all in the name of security, at proms, schools, churches, old-lady lunches, trains, and whever else one can envision people freely moving.
Tornadoes and other natural disasters seem to be occurring on an extreme level. Sure, we’ve been here before. Our atmosphere has a history, and tsunamis, earthquakes, and devastation all took place on this pale blue dot before. But this time, it seems different… it seems quite frightening. It is almost as though we are on a hair trigger, and at any moment the bottom could fall out from under us..
The economy is getting no better. Jobs are painfully few… McDOnalds just hired 50,000 folks, all whom won’t get health care since the Obama Administration gave the company a waiver. How quaint. Burger King tells you that you can have it your way.. McDonalds, however, has it their way.
Corruption is everywhere. Child prostition rings, disgusting abuse of our elderly, horrible treatment of innocent civilians in warfare… all of which adds up to a world in utter chaos.. It can lead even the most religious person to wonder aloud of there is a God that is watching. After all, if a higher power is watching how could such disgraceful abuse of human life itself be tolerated.. At least hopefully there is a God keeping good notes.
GMO crops frighten me… Buffoons declaring that the end of the world is coming alarm me because so many others follow them, often into oblivion or even mass Kool Aid induced suicide. Just pick your flavor and drink away..
Sure the news is bad. Yes it seems bleak. And bringing a child up in a world of war is troubling.
However…when I sleep at night, and hear the quiet breath of my baby boy, I myself sleep better. When I look at my wife, see me child, know that he has grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, family and friends, all who love him, it gives me a bit more hope for my sometimes hopeless mind.
Being a parent isn’t easy. As a matter of fact, everyone I spoke to who was already a parent told me it wasn’t going to be a simple affair at all.
But what I find easy is the hard stuff… late night feedings, boxes of diapers, belly aches, gas, and fevers.. All of that is a part of the natural progression of life.
I expected all of that.
What I never expected was the wide range of emotions when I read the news…the idea of sitting at a table with my son on some future day, where I need to explain why some grown persons don’t treat other persons with dignity.. why murder happens.. why masachistic child torture takes place.. and why sometimes people in a distant land want to destroy innocent purity. That, my friends, may be the most difficult thing I’ve even come across.
What prompts this verbose text? This morning, I saw a snippet in my morning paper about a mom in New York City, right after giving birth, tossing her newborn child down a dumpster. The baby lived. It was saved by a maintenance man who heard the muffled cries of the suffering life form. The mom was arrested. And that was that.. another story of another sad beginning of another life on earth.
I want to save children from this.. I yearn to break out of my conditioned negativity, despite all the negative, and work against established norms, because those norms are so oftern perverted by men who declare the ‘norms’ to be normal.
I want purity. Honesty. Love. I believe the whole of society is better than the worst of society. For sure, though, we see the worst on the front pages and top stories of our newcasts.
I want to teach my son to be himself, treat others with respect. And I want to tell him to ignore all the others who don’t.. because in the end, they go against human nature and have given in to a cult of decadence that has never given any good people a good outcome.
No it won’t be easy. But neither are those late night feedings. And my wife and I are happily doing that.
Wish us luck.
And good luck to you too… Hope these words light a fire of goodness and love within your heart.
News from the world of importance to me and hopefully you..
LockheedMartin, a major defense contractor, says it was hit with a cyber attack on May 21 but also said no information was compromised.. May 21? The rapture didn’t happen, but a cyber rapture of sorts may have..
Major embarassment for the magazine PSYCHOLOGY TODAY, which had to say sorry after a article was posted saying that black women were less attractive than other women.. Can it get more offensive than that?! .. Well, yes. The article used data based on another study to make several claims such as “black women are objectively less physically attractive than other women” yet “subjectively consider themselves to be far more physically attractive than others.”..
Little green monsters: E. coli cucumbers may be in Autralia and HUngary .. don’t be hungry in Hungary for the deadly bacteria..
The quickening: More than 800 tons of fish have died and rotted on fish farms in a lake near Taal volcano south of Manila, with authorities blaming it on a sudden temperature drop…
Dr. Drew says that Conaway did not die from a drug overdose, as is being reported widely in the afterhmath of his relatively young demise..
Born that way and selling this way: Lady Gaga’s newest album expected to sell 1 million copies within its first week alone..
Thousands turn out for Austrlian ‘slut walk’..
Everything is changing: Married people no more .. the number is low.. More people not married than married in the United States..
Bad business: 91-year-old grandmother busted in California for selling suicide kits..
Joplin heartache
Barbecues are lighting up around the fruited plain, but in Joplin Missouri, celebrations are few and sadness is abundant.. The rays of sun cannot even help diminish the pain so many are feeling this Memorial Day as the death toll rises yet higher to 139.. About 100 people are still missing—but that is a far cry from the frightening number of 1500 a few days ago..
What to make of the weather this week? The anger of mother nature.. the quickening coming? .. Just a pattern that happens now and then and all over again?
Experts will opine until their eyes run dry, but states across the nation this week, including Schmuckraker home base of Pennsylvania, all have battled severe weather and tornadoes. Well, not battled but instead took cover from the wrath of the path..
May next week be better. And this summer too.. And may some comfort come to the town of Joplin, along with Tuscaloosa, both which have experienced losses beyond anyone else’s imaginations this spring.

I’m a dog person myself, but seeing this video of a mom cat comforting a kitten having an apparent bad moment during sleep makes me know that no matter the species on earth, we are all connected in our emotions. In a sense, no matter our size of type, we are all the same.. I’d bed if we looked close enough even trees do the same. Of course modern science would call me crazy.. But if cats can do it, what can’t? Maybe ..worms.

Hail.. tornado watches.. heavy rain. It's all here
The heavy storms have moved east.. here in the deep and dark abandoned coal region of Pennsylvania, heavy hail is pounding roofs, sidewalks, and car windows.. Tornado watches sounding.. heavy rain falling..
There is something going on. The weather is intense. These storms, as they has moved through the nation, has brought pure and utter hell to whoever was hit.. And it is no different today and will be no different tomorrow.
I can’t imagine an entire summer of this. And I certainly never thought it would be an entire spring.. But since Tuscaloosa when so much damage started, it just seemed to never stop…
I write this as the sky turns black yet once again..
It could be anyone! Anywhere!! Maybe even you..
New research on how to spot a psychopath..
Helpful stuff. This will only make me just more paranoid about neighbors, bosses, and even family and friends.. Maybe rightfully so.
Have blog. Will earn money
We hope.. Support this site so maybe I cab be one of the success blogger stories the New York TIMES will write about..

A dog eat dog world..? The strange history of Nazi experimentation with dogs reavealed.. Adolf Hitler wanted dogs to be able to be taught to speak, read, and write.. And worship the Nazi party while they were at it..: STRANGE BUT TRUE: HITLER WANTED TO CREATE AN ARMY OF TALKING DOGS
This image, showing trees stripped bare after a devastating tornado hit Joplin, Missouri, May 23, 2011, taken by Reuters’ Eric Thayer.. Chilling.. disturbing.. amazing.
The power of nature.. rolling storms taking out lives, limbs, property, and the aura of safety that surrounds so many of us..
Even Schmuckraker home base had a surprise tornado warning Monday night, a massive storm rolled through. No where near the severity of Oklahoma City Tuesday and Joplin on Sunday.. But nonetheless, the nation is being scourged with a sudden dose of bad weather..
Hopefully the jet stream moves into a new pattern and allows weather to change its direction from ultra-violent to just …weather..
We’ve been through bad weather before. But this year seems to be different. It seems to be more deadly. And watching news accounts, reading dispatches from reporters, and seeing photos from the scene, there is something more traumatic and real about the outbreak of horrid conditions around the country..
May it end soon!
Not with a bang but with a silent whimper of wind taking us into a beautiful summer.
Tough luck.. the pattern appears locked.
To all the men and women of prayer out there: Keep praying

Pretty large storm just rolled through Coal Country
All is well.. As a matter of fact, not sure if there was a tornado or not, but crazed paranoid daddy made the family barricade ourselves in the basement in a room with no windows. Safety first! …maybe paranoia first …
And after the storm rolled through, a double rainbow formed.. I have no video like the famed YouTuber of the past, but a double rainbow sure looked nice.
I’ll film it if there’s a triple rainbow….
Hope all is well.

Intriguing story about scientists publicly saying that the Japan quake was 'in the air' a day before it occurred..
Anyone want to go into business with me?
Strike while the iron is hot: Shirts with Camping’s face reading ‘I survived the rapture and all I got was this lousy t-shirt’
When prophecy fails
…so will the Camping crowd go to Sunday mass? Did some commit suicide? Did some families break apart? Will ANYONE allow Harold Camping to yell that the world is ending again? I will not lie, I pity the folks that gave up their fortune—but I loathe the man who TOOK fortunes from followers.. Mr. Camping is the worst kind of preacher.. The epitome of a fear mongering money loving man of God. We’ve seen his kind before and will again.. But hopefully this Sunday morning will include soul searching for those who gave up their lives to wait for the end of humanity, even though the Bible they profess teaches no man knows the hour of the doom they hope for.. My rant is done. Until the next preacher comes along.
