Here’s the great American dollar.. being flushed into oblivion—despite the ‘deal’ on the debt
The only thing more shocking than politicians playing like kids in sandboxes, taking America to the edge of disaster, is that Obama is going to speak during BIG BROTHER. Now that will make his poll numbers drop..
…were I to find “John Panne” or run into someone named that, would I announce that I had a dream about him!? Would I say “nice to meet you! I dreamed of you!” ???.. If this man my version of Mother Abigail from the STAND? Will he be in a corn field next telling me to head out to Colorado? … so many mysteries.. And maybe just nothing at all to think about, just a random thought in a random dream on a random night…
…and it was name specific. The name ‘John Panne’ kept popping up everywhere, the last part of the dream being a phone number for me to reach him. Of course I forget the phone number but can’t forget the name… It was strange. I never had a name specific dream before, but I cannot say that anymore. Now what does it mean? .. .clueless.
Thanks, again, to all those who sent emails this past week, messages.. those who visited and read what was here..
The news of the world, yet again, has been dominated by debt. The economic gains are diminished, here in the US of A.. and the world, too, isn’t much better. Though 7 billion inhabit the planet, it’s obvious most of that population is in for inescapable journeys, some that will take us to hell on earth and others that will force development of our species.
The idea of 7 billion people.. I can’t even fathom it. That amount of souls, spaced out in space here on this blue dot somewhere in a galaxy, in a universe.. I can’t grasp the idea of what we are, who we are..
People offer up tales of physical prowess at bars across America every Saturday night.. It will happen to you, no doubt, that at some point this weekend someone will offer up a point or two about how much better they are as compared to you. But, ask yourself, what are they? … cell… atoms.. spinning. A mass of atoms, and often a mass of ass. Mass, nonetheless..
And take it even further.. we don’t know what the universe is, we’re not quite sure exactly how a big bang occurred, but still somehow buy into the notion that the universe was the size of a fist and exploded into this. Despite our inability to conjure up any real data to prove the big bang once and for all, it’s our best belief. So, this Saturday, when Joe Sixpack propels himself to the head of the club or the front of the line, realize that you’re somehow joined with him/her.. we’re all somehow joined together.
But I still can’t figure out, despite a mass of atoms, what exactly we are.
And never will.
But that’s just how it’s going to be.
Good Saturday evening, all, and here’s hoping your figure out what you are and where you’re going on this long highway of life, with stretches of boredom and others filled with accidents and riddles.
Good evening.
That’s right.. 7 billion strong, here on this planet.. Food shortages.. water problems.. some population booms in lands hurt by storms and disasters.. Oh yes, indeed, those here, all 7 billion of us, have quite a story to tell.. And those coming onto the planet, or back again depending on your religious beliefs, have some tough times ahead.
But that’s the way it’s always been here… here on this beautiful blue ball, surrounded by space and time, and ravaged by war and crime.
COWBOYS & ALIENS isn’t doing as well as expected.. but the SMURFS is doing much better..
Remember, only days ago, most predicted that the SMURFS would be trounced by the bigger budget flick..
Go SMURFS! A victory for anyone who grew up in the roaring 80s..

We’re all ready for it..

Goodnight all
Let the lion sleep. And you should, too.
I’ll be the first to say it, I hate the giant plastic testicles on the backs of trucks.. But … a jury trial for displaying them!? … that’s more obscene than the testicles. (More here: http://www.live5news.com/story/15154990/sc-woman-gets-jury-trial-for-display)
That summer sun is setting sooner each night. 8pm now and it’s already getting a little dark. These long summer days are ending, and the lightning bugs are gone.. How sad, how… sad.

Get your voice back. And practice using it.
I downloaded it for fun.. Finding no fun, I may uninstall after minutes of use..?
It’s a pretty devious fake account..
*Can David Karp do anything to end the spammer? I’d guess they are trying. I just wish there was a way to verify that people who sign up here are humans and not malicious sexbots.
The heat is still there, but a little less. It feels more like a roaster instead of a broaster. So I’m not nearly as crispy as I was Thursday.
Nonetheless, some housekeeping items of note:
Tumblr was down, yet again, this morning.
When it is, and even when it’s not, you can always reach me at http://horrorreport.com/, bookmark today.
I took off the automatic music because I wanted people to pay special attention to the past few songs from YouTube I posted.
And finally, ask me anything, tell me anything, and report anything on my open lines page. http://www.coalspeaker.com/ ask I’d love to hear from you.
And you thought the Florida sinkhole was bad!?

They couldn’t find a chopper.. couldn’t find a boat.
I feel like there are going to be a lot of cops in Norway feeling guilty for life that they could have done more.. No matter whether it’s their fault or not, guaranteed that the thought will be present.
There is something magical about moonlit summer nights.. Something mysterious. The noises of a summer night surpass those of the entire year put together.. Goodnight all
This one goes out to my mother-in-law, fighting for her life in a hospital bed.. her favorite song and my wife’s sudden reminder of times gone by..
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..
Singer Amy Winehouse was found dead at her apartment in London on Saturday, the UK Press Association reported. She was 27.
…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.
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.
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.

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..
100+ degrees everywhere.. Boehner withdrew from debt talks with Obama.. And Oslo became a bloodbath. Bad day for earth..
Metisse - Boom Boom Ba
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.
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..
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.
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..
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..
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..
