Andrew scribblings: Someone explain to me, if you can.. How can't NASA know where the satellite will fall?
Well this explanation is as good as any.. andrewwhiting:
Defunct NASA satellite to crash to Earth this week
.. I just still don’t get it. The sky is falling. Heads up. It may hit. 1 in 3200 chance of a human dying, says NASA. .
It’s pretty simple, actually: the atmosphere just below where the satellite currently is…
….but 1 in 3200 chance of human life lost!? Heads up

Ouch! An article slams Katy Perry, and a lot more: Katy Perry - The Boredom Of Whoredom
While it’s a nasty article, it’s extremely well written and after I was done, I couldn’t help but nodding in some sort of ‘old man’ sense of agreement.
The quote from TakiMag’s article that stuck with me the most:
Today, Katy Perry is married to former sex addict Russell Brand and dances around a Candyland gameboard dressed like Bettie Page shooting whipped cream out of her tits. Millions of little girls love her, filling arenas to max capacity. Some of them even got up onstage the other night to sing along:
Last Friday night
We went streaking in the park
Skinny dipping in the dark
Then had a ménage à trois
I have a son now… I have a child. A true child. Someone who will hear these words and maybe ask me what they mean. So forgive me for my sudden prudishness, but now I question some of pop culture.
When I walk around a store and see lingerie-type underwear for young girls I wonder if pedophiles are behind it.. I wonder if the guy looking at my son at a supermarket is … someone that should stay away. I am protective. Which is natural. So when I hear Katy Perry’s words, I think different as a dad than I would has a non-dad.
But sorry… I still like Ke$ha. Don’t know why.
In the end, I just hope my son likes my taste in music: Billy Joel, Native American, Rag Time, Simple Plan, Lady Gaga, 70s and .. yes, Kesha.
Interesting new Ron Suskind book on Obama White House unleashes this: Women feeling ignored and excluded
The book is called “Confidence Men: Wall Street, Washington, and the Education of a President” .. and it’s set to make waves..
Could this be.. the propelling factor to launch Hillary’s anti-Obama 2012 campaign?! Women excluded.. Hillary to the rescue.. Amazing thing, this politics sure is.

6.8 STRIKES
Officials say a strong earthquake has hit northeastern India near the border with Nepal. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries
The fight:
The AP reports:
In just one round, Floyd Mayweather Jr. got a head butt, a kiss and a hug from Victor Ortiz. He responded with a right hand that ended a bizarre fight early.
I suppose what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, unless the AP and the world are watching..
A quick thank you..
A record number of visits have occurred to the Coal Speaker site in its history. Since August 1 2011 there have literally been thousands of people here, which for a small site of independence and sometimes dependence, that’s not bad at all. Since September 1, 2011 alone, there have been been thousands of people visiting this site from over 340 cities, according to my Google Analytics information. Places around the coal region of PA, all the way to Frensco CA, and back again— along with at least 55 international cities from at least 10 other countries. It’s amazing to be alive during a time when my little ridiculous postings can reach so far out there… and as my alien image wonders, are people from beyond this planet seeing this too. Maybe it will make them turn away……
Thank you all again.
…I had a dream about my hometown of Centralia last night. In it, there was no mine fire and my son was on a swing set in the playground—a playground that in reality is covered with grass and nothingness. I wish the dream was real.. how life would have been different. I always wonder how my life’s path would have been altered were it not for the mine fire that destroyed my home town..
A new generation: Moving home
The economy is forcing parents to take back in their adult children along with their children’s children.. a new and evolving economy *(depression) recession is causing such upheaval that kids are being left with no choice but to move back to the original nest. Empty nest no more.. wonder if the parents will re-ignite their parental roles and mandate curfews?
Nonetheless, we can laugh if we all so choose, but instead we should cry. A new generation, one that was promised an American dream, is being forced to live out a long nightmare. Barely able to afford car payments.. trying to scrounge together cash for basic groceries. Yes, indeed, this is a new world that looks a lot like an old one.. The 1950s through 90s perhaps were the waning days of prosperity in this country.

Georgians don’t like the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW?
Proof?
Proof offered:
Georgia town shuts down production of ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW..
The mayor of Carrollton, Wayne Garner, had ruled last week that the production was risque and therefore not suitable for the city-owned theater
No tax dollars used for the horror in this town, so sayseth the Mayor.
But it does bring up a pretty interesting question. If public tax dollars are being used to fund a play, what should be the limit? Should it be rated G so all taxpayers and their children can go? …does an R rated play work with tax money? Ethical questions aside, the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW dates back decades..but not in this Georgia town, that is for sure.

Question of the night: Is a college degree worth the cost?
Point: College grads can’t find jobs. Student loan debt is passing the $1 tril mark, and higher than credit card debt nationwide…
Oh did NASA mention?
…the satellite that will crash on earth, somewhere, is over 6 tons.. almost 7. And it will hurl down to earth at 5 miles per second..
Stay inside?
Wear a hat?
…it could fall anywhere between 57 degrees north and 57 degrees south. Good luck earth..

Any other groans out there?
Anyone else in my readership hearing the earth make noises? I’m curious to know..
The groaning earth
I wanted to give a quick (*again) thank you to those who messaged me and emailed me not to worry about that video I posted the other day of the groaning earth. But those who know me know that there is no rest for the weary: I did further research into this strange phenomenon and I enter, for the record, the following link: A collection of groans and moans that the earth seems to be making (and yes I see that the site isn’t perhaps the most trustworthy but at least it provides a good set of videos that appear they could at least be)
And don’t get me wrong. I am a fan of common sense and a man who appreciates real science. But also someone who is paranoid about the possibility that science can’t explain it all.. and with these groans, some seemingly occurring before earthquakes, it creeps me out. Perhaps more than anything else at this time besides solar flares.. these groans and moans that the earth is making freaks me beyond belief.
I am still upset.
For the first time in 157 years the Bloomsburg Fair is canceled. Just not right… I know the flood..the misery.. but my God, just not right at all.

Another sunspot, another flare
Sunspot 1289 just hurled a flare our way. A glancing blow is coming.. watch for auroras for those way up north.
A NOTE TO DAVID KARP: Please let us be able to start to reply to our replies on blogs hosted here.
It would help. I think most people would enjoy it. Though if you tried it Tumblr would be down for 78 hours…
To answer two questions asked of me
- I think the search for life on other planets is a great thing. And the search for a new home for us may even be more reasonable.
- I hope Barry Manilow doesn’t want the uninsured to die. But I think those who listen to his music regularly may die before others…
I agree with just about everything he says

Some depressing news, to me at least
Due to the flood, this year’s Bloomsburg Fair is off… Sad to see it not be happening. Very sad indeed… First time in fair history… 157 years later……
News from the sun
This time news from the sun is not of the solar flare brand.. instead, a comet dove directly into it and created some interesting video.. Worth a look-see
Summer's dead.
Surprise summer snow in Colorado…
Record low temps in Iowa…
That’s right…fairs are coming…the cold is around the seasonal corner. And allergies, too. They are coming too. Beware.. summer is gone. With every night, and every sunset minutes earlier, summer is dying.. Sad to see it go, despite that horrid heat we had.
Too soon?
Perry already plays the God card..
I predict and go on record now: Perry/Palin vs. Obama/Clinton. Whoa. Yea. I just said that.
Thank you to those telling me the groans from earth video is fakery
And I sure hope to hell that it is..
And ThePete.com: Continue to calm my nerves…

Another thing to scare me..
New sunspot AR1295 is emerging over the sun’s northeastern limb and crackling with solar flares

Can someone disprove this video for me? It would make me feel a whole lot better if you could. Come on scientists.. speculate away. What are these noises?

End of the world, on a street corner near you
While sitting in traffic this morning, I got stuck next to a rather foreboding man holding a sign reading ‘Repent for the kingdom of heaven is…’. I wondered what was meant by the unfinished statement. Maybe we need to finish it in our own mind. And if that was this rather large man’s intention, then I say ‘the kingdom of heaven is made of cherry cotton candy and sugar plums.’ Mmmmmm… I want to go to heaven now.

New story: Testosterone plummets when men become fathers
Almost 7 months into fatherhood, I’m not sure. I haven’t tried to put on a dress yet. I still am as paranoid and conspiratorial today as I was 7 months ago.. I like Coors Light and sometimes Lager, just like then. And I still watch the same things on TV. And I have driven a Volkswagen since 2003.
But I’ll say this, mock this study if you may, I certainly think men become more affectionate and close to family. And maybe that’s all in the chemicals.. all in the science. I just don’t know. If we do lose the manly traits, maybe it’s all for the best. This from the PBS account of emasculation:
For instance, high levels of testosterone increase a man’s risk of reproductive cancers, especially prostate and testicular cancer. It can also suppress immune function, making it more difficult to protect the body against infections.
So perhaps this child of mine will save me from the worse aspects of manhood. And maybe I’ll regain my masculinity in due time… Play ball with my son, and wonder why I cry when I miss the catch…….
