Call me old fashioned, but I’m getting really sick and tired of TV shows that seem to just mock human beings for the pure enjoyment of mocking them.. I don’t get it. This is not entertainment. It’s class-less garbage, beamed throughout the world for every eye to see. I’m tired of pop culture. Tired of inane trash called reality shows. And even more incensed with rage over shows that take vulnerable humans and made a disaster of their already disastrous life for the almighty dollar—or in Ceri Rees’ case, the almighty Euro..
Quick FYI for followers who care ..
Ghost Adventures returns with new shows starting tonight.
And the voice of John B. Wells will sit in to end the week on Coast to Coast AM — a must listen to I’d surely say..
So much for hopes the satellite won't hit me
Latest info: North America is back in a potential target zone for the bus sized satellite fall.
Heads up
Nifty.. North America is apparently safe from the satellite fall. The rest of you all need safety head gear.

Got a message...
…that I am so infatuated with solar flares. I don’t think I am. I think we all should be.. news recently has come out about how influential these flares actually are to our environment, weather, and long term global situation. Even more, there have been incidents in the past when solar flares knocked out technology—then telegraph machines.. Imagine a world in our modern age with no technology for a bit of time? It’s more important than ever, in my mind, to understand and watch the sun.
Everything turns on its head.. this is amazing news...
Here is what is now being challenged due to the new news coming from the particle smashing folks at CERN: Einstein said in 1905 that nothing in the universe can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. Today, researchers at the CERN lab near Geneva claim they have recorded neutrinos, a type of tiny particle, travelling faster than the barrier of 186,282 miles (299,792 kilometers) per second.
Scientists have been left scratching their heads.. wondering how such a long-held theory could be challenged by this event.. but it happened. And if it proves to be absolutely true, then the basic laws of physics may need to be changed—physics that so many have learned in high schools and colleges throughout this world.
Amazing news.
Amazing facts.
Amazing findings..
So does e=mc2, or does it just not equal after all?
Once again, thank you SPACEWEATHER
They are providing a quick and life image of where the dead NASA satellite is in real time, or as real in time as we can get.. At least you can pinpoint what area it will fall so you can adjust your Friday headgear if need be.
In the spirit of tonight’s news that CERN has defied the law of physics with particles faster than the speed of light, here is a stroll down conspiracy past: The Philadelphia Experiment
Amazing: There are speed of light experiments giving baffling results at CERN
And now.. the question arises: Was Einstein wrong!?
And if he was, did the Philadelphia Experiment happen after all?
Amazing: There are speed of light experiments giving baffling results at CERN

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..

They really like me!!

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.

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…
