Just no luck..
A woman who was considered dead woke up at her own funeral and then died—for real—of a heart attack.
...this one just didn't surprise me
Cities bring more stress than rural areas..
Sure there are more centers of recreation, shopping, cars, buses, horns… fighting… panhandlers.. Everything. Rural areas don’t have the modern day ‘progress’ that brings about stress and higher conditions of uncivilized behavior..
I work in a semi-metro area.. live in a semi-rural area.. and enjoy visiting big cities and extreme rural areas.
I think being well-rounded is the best game plan for sane living.
A showdown developing ..
Republicans walk out on budget talks.. Raise the roof? … raise the debt ceiling? How about just good old fashioned talking!
For those following the Casey Anthony trial..
Truly a bombshell as Cindy Anthony says she searched the computer for chloroform instead of Casey.. Amazing.. Shocking.. And perjury? Lies? Covering for Casey? Amazing….

Al Gore going to the extreme? Try population control..
It always makes me nervous when men of power want to ‘curb’ the population or ‘stabilize’ the population.
A few facts: Russia has warned of a population crisis.. even Vlad the Putin wanted to have a national day of love making to help spur some more babies. And how would less kids help take care of the ever aging American population?
But even more, deeper, and more profound: The thought of population control could start as a great suggestion but end up being forced.. No? .. nah, eugenics never occurred, right? No big corporations and government agencies ever teamed up to try to stunt population growth—albeit then it was to help get rid of the pesky “unfit” folks. Maybe a new environmental eugenics is upon us?
I just wish, in the end, science would take over this debate and politics would get out of it. Climate change is real.. global warming—and cooling—is real. El Nino and La Nino is real. And pattern change is real. What is absurd is that we are not prepared for either intense hurricanes from intense global heat, extreme sea level rises—or even flash ice ages that occur when sunspots die away.
Politics… environment. Oh they just should not mix……
Now I can see what the markets stunk while Bernanke spoke.. The newest information from the FED-head chairman: No clue why the economy stinks.This was TIME’s person of the year for ‘saving’ the economy—a year when the economy wasn’t saved but driven even further into the toilet.

I've been meaning to ask you, do you think JC from c2c was/is a legitimate person or a joke?
I think a joke — but a good one. The latest call was the most ridiculous and showcased that the joke has worn out

Fukushima is NOT old news!
As a matter of fact, Michio Kaku says it’s still a ticking time bomb not being helped by government lies in Japan..
Nothing to fear but fear itself
Want an example as to why? Apparently new research is concluding that the fear over terrorism is making people stupid..…

Roger Ebert had an outpouring of generosity during his medical problems...
But apparently can’t return the favor now that someone in the entertainment world is DEAD.. Ebert’s Tweet mocking the death of Ryan Dunn has set off a firestorm of controversy.. Dunn drove drunk, yes, but with him dead now how will sarcastic jokes on the stupidity of drunk driving help anything?
Finally, the news media has realized that the Midwest flooding is threatening nuke plants
The story has been alive and well on blogs and independent websites for several days, but now real media attention (tongue in cheek there) is beginning to issue some press on the story of Fort Calhoun and Nebraksa.. The NEW YORK TIMES running a piece about Fort Calhoun and the Cooper Station.. Also revealed: Cooper was near a shutdown..
Officials still say there are no worries. And I hope they are right. I think most people hope they are right. But I also hope the media begins to pay attention to some stuff that has importance for humanity, including ‘unusual’ events at nuke plants during flooding.. It took days before anyone mainstream even reported it.

Well so much for that, I guess.. Walmart wins one with the judges..
This is how the AP reports it:
"The Supreme Court blocked the largest sex-discrimination lawsuit in U.S. history on Monday, siding with Wal-Mart and against up to 1.6 million female workers in a decision that makes it harder to mount large-scale bias claims against the nation’s other huge companies, too"Harder to mount bias claims is an understatement.. what an amazing decision from the Supreme Court.
Sorry NEWSWEEK… Or… DAILY BEAST, whichever you’d like to be called right.. but NAFTA the shafta started in ‘94, when the President pictured on your latest cover was in charge…Case of the Mondays
Once again time to avoid calamities on earth and on highways, too.. May no shredded truck tires impede your progression full sale into a wonderful week.
I'm looking for answers here....
Readers, viewers, listeners, fans, friends… Give me your thoughts… I had a late night Father’s Day talk with my own father last night. We dicussed some interesting issues, including this: What would happen if robots took over earth? Would they suck away oxygen? ..destroy humans? … kill us all? It could happen. We have given our technology almost more power than us..Send me your thoughts on my open lines page.. And I’ll answer..

Some truly horrific details emerge about an infant's killing in Pennsylvania
"Barrise eventually gave birth to a baby girl in Fitzpatrick’s vehicle.
The baby landed on the floor. No one touched the crying baby. All of this took place in front of the eleven year old.
Fitzpatrick told Barrise they were not keeping the baby because they could not afford it.
Court papers go on to say Fitzpatrick drove Barrise and his sister to their home at the Hideout with the baby on the floor of his vehicle.
Before he pulled out, he told Barrise he was going to get rid of the baby.
Barrise asked for a third time if he was going to kill it and again, he did not respond.
Fitzpatrick said he went to his workplace in the woods behind M n’ D Lawn and Tree Care.
There, according to the court papers, he killed the baby, hitting her twice with a cinderblock, and left the cinderblock on top of the baby”
I first was very emotional when I read this story… I then became enraged with anger..
It amazes me how often people make the choice to kill a baby instead of doing something sensible like adoption or even leaving at a hospital.. Killing somehow becomes an option for people. What does that say about society…
Some truly horrific details emerge about an infant's killing in Pennsylvania
For those who would be interested...
…last night’s Coast to Coast AM project, hosted by Ian Punett, had a pretty interesting topic: A professor discussed how the primitive, animalistic underside of human nature, with its sexual fantasies and homicidal tendencies, has actually given rise to the most positive features of our race.
It’s worth listening to if you should do be inclined..
A bad kickout? ..maybe time to go back to rehab.. Amy Winehouse booed in Belgrade .. *Note, this is a comeback tour.
The Republicans may as well have just had someone come out and performed in blackface!
A little tension after an Obama impersonator, Reggie Brown, crossed the line during a comedic bit at the Republican Leadership Contest.
POLITICO reports:
"The Obama impersonator, Reggie Brown, said that while the First Lady celebrated all of Black History Month, the bi-racial president only celebrated half the month.
Brown also said: “My mother loved a black man, and she was not a Kardashian.”
Flashing a picture on the screen of Fred Sanford of “Sanford and Son” fame, the comedian said that’s what Obama would look like when he got older.”
POLITICO went on to report: “As Brown was preparing to make a Michele Bachmann joke, one of the conference’s officials came out to the lectern and told the comedian to leave the stage.”
Yet another major hack on Sega
Japanese video game developer Sega Corp said on Sunday that information belonging to 1.3 million customers has been stolen from its database..
My all the Coal Speaker readers in New Jersey
..especially Asbury Park.. The STONE PONY released a statement today,
"PONY OPEN AT NOON SUNDAY TO REMEMBER CLARENCE
The Stone Pony family is deeply saddened by the passing of Clarence Clemons. Clarence will always be our friend, brother and a beloved founding father of Asbury Park’s historic musical heritage. The Pony will open at noon on Sun., June 19 for fans to share their thoughts and reflect on memories as the “Sounds of Asbury Park” are played through our concert sound system”
If I was closer today I would be there, or at least try to. Hopefully for those who live near here you will be there, too, or try to..

Father's Day, first edition
First off, it’s my hope that I will have plenty more Fathers Days ahead of my in life.. But it’s still surreal to think that here I am, in the year 2011, ten years after turning the immature and tender age of 21, and I have a child. A wife. A job.. Bills. Insurance payments. And all of the other things which match up to adulthood in some way..
I have a few things in life to look forward to, a few things to dread. When the moment arrives of parent teacher conferences, or nightly sporting events, or piano recitals, or speeches (whichever my son so chooses to be interested in), I may find those nights overly busy and stomach-ached due to late night fast food dinners. But it will go by so fast that I won’t have any way to even absorb the importance at times of what is truly happening around me..
It is my first Father’s Day. And my son is four months young, as I age tremendously fast.
The amazing thing in life I never would have thought of as important is this: Parents make the life of their children number one and abandon selfishness. At least my wife and I did..
Father’s Day indeed..
2011.
My time is flying by.

The latest from the Nebraska nuclear power plant
We are being told it’s dry, but it is surrounded by water.. A second plant is being threatened by flooding.. And perhaps the most interesting story comes from a web source stating that a news blackout has been ordered.
Rumors aside, what is clear: The Fort Calhoun nuclear power station in Nebraska remains shut down due to Missouri River flooding.. A developing story that so few are paying attention to—even in the wake of the Fukushima disaster.. You’d think more would be concerned.
INSANITY OUTSIDE OF THE COURT HOUSE..While the defense of Casey Anthony inside the court was busy arguing that the smell from the car was trash, both words and punches were hurled outside by the crowd trying to get a seat in the court room..
Feeling miserable? You're not alone.. the misery index is the worst in 28 years
