So I looked at yearbooks from my past last night. Amazing how much changes, isn’t it? I read some of the words people wrote in my yearbook.. Pages aren’t yellowing yet but they sure feel older than ever..
From yearbooks to Facebook.
The old days to the modern age.
I’d love a chance to relive a few events.. but maybe not all.
There have been lots of quakes in the Canary Islands lately.. and over the weekend, parts of the islands have reportedly been pushed up 4 inches..

Good evening everyone. Here’s the Toxic Airborne Event with HAPPINESS IS OVERRATED. Truly a shame this band broke up.

Yes they happened.. The "best" internet April Fools jokes of 2013
I say “best” in quotes because I truly hate this yearly tradition..
Yes they happened.. The "best" internet April Fools jokes of 2013
PETER THE ROMAN? FRANCIS VISITS THE TOMB
Seriously, why does this Pope have to keep reminding us he’s probably the last one!?
Clyde Lewis continues to humor me with incredibly great headlines for his nightly radio show.. Tonight "Olympus has fallen and it won't wake up!"
And if you still think Noory is the king of paranormal radio, you haven’t listened to Ground Zero
(Though I still wish Art Bell would come back)
Clyde Lewis continues to humor me with incredibly great headlines for his nightly radio show.. Tonight "Olympus has fallen and it won't wake up!"
The top ten stories that sound like April Fools jokes. But they aren't
- Until 2012, Pepsi used aborted fetal-cells to flavor soft drinks
- There have been so many suicides in China among workers making our iPhones that factories had to put up suicide nets
- Wikileaks helped bring out information that DynCorp contractors were involved with a child sex ring..
- There is a brewing water crisis—one so bad that rivers and lakes are drying up across the planet
- Very recently, the mega rich withdrew their money from Cyprus banks—right before looting..
- Obama signed the Monsanto Protection Act, and the NDAA. He often signed bills despite his ‘reservations’
- There are black sites across the world where children are tortured in front of their parents
- Fear of Chinese censors is so intense that video game makers change their games
- North Koreans are eating their own children because of extreme hunger
- Each year, up to 800,000 children go missing in the United States
So sorry to be such a downer on such a ‘funny’ day.. But that’s just what I do.

Good to see that media is all on the same page. If you watched your local diatribe of fires, plagues, crime, and pestilence, you’ve most certainly heard that ‘economic factors may take some spring out of the Easter Bunny’s step this year.’
It was so noticeable that Conan O’Brien put a montage together of local boobs on the tube telling us the same statement from their teleprompter.
While the video is hilarious for obvious reasons, it begs the bigger question: Who writes it.. and how it is dispensed to all the stations? And just once sentence, quite frankly, could be proof that we are hit with misinformation all at the same time.
Remember, while some may have abandoned the big network news and papers, we still turn to the locals for the information close to home. And if the big conglomerates could get to them, well… the mis and disinformation could survive.
(Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
By now you’ve seen or heard about the horrible event last night involving Louisville player Kevin Ware. (Video here, watch at your own risk)
It was so graphic that CBS even halted replays of the leg break.. It’s most obviously the water cooler talk this morning and will be rehashed over and over again throughout the day.
When it happened, however, something else struck me about the affair. Immediately Twitter lit up with people’s thoughts, and my Facebook friends’ collective chatter was all about Ware. I get it.. It was a sports injury live on TEE VEE, it was enough to make you queasy.. and we all celebrate March Madness like it’s a religious event. So it makes sense..
But what is absent from Twitter and my Facebook friends’ profiles? Any or all words about innocent children killed in drone attacks in Pakistan. Any and all stories about the civilians’ lives we left in shambles in Iraq after ten years of war (those who survived).. And and all knowledge of North Korean death camps.. Any and all information about, well, pretty much anything to do with the African continent.
I guess I reluctantly understand this. I come from the coal region, where football and sports is worshiped. Often, high school players get a VIP treatment.. And nationally, as the economic crumbling still happens and the moral decay is evident, we turn more and more to sports .. it’s a vacuum that sucks up the depression. We cheer on our high-paid professionals as though they know we are doing it.. we cry and wine about the other team that simply wears a different uniform color. We get angry and argue about college kids on a court.. and yes, when one falls by the wayside, we gather around the young hero and honor him with glory—of course while we voyeuristically gratify ourselves by watching the hero’s injury take place over and over again.
Not to take anything away form Kevin Ware, but it’s certainly amazing how little we know about a worldwide network of pedophiles.. How little we know about the amount of drone attacks in Pakistan.. how little we are aware of the Monsanto Protection Act..
But we know batting averages.
Football facts.
Boxing bouts…
And hell, even professional wrestling stars’ real names.
But did you know that, once again, America is getting ready to prop up another leader in the Middle East? This time in Syria? That’s not an April fools joke.
A few days ago I posted something on my Facebook page about the concerns I have with the Monsanto Protection Act, as signed into law by President Obama. My sister commented in a straight-shooting fashion:
Nobody cares about genetically modified corn until there is a crop failure like there was in South Africa in 2009. If fuel and veggie prices skyrocket…then they’ll care. Until then…this is tin foil hat stuff to most, Bryan.
And I bet no one knows much about that crop failure in 2009, now do we?
Hey, there was a earthquake in Haiti .. we had a telethon. Oh and a tsunami and meltdown in Japan.. we had a telethon. And Sandy .. we had a telethon.
All events of true importance somehow slip away like they never even existed in the first place. We are left in the end with sports…
Those football stars of the coal region often have something in common with heroes of Friday night lights from across America: Many don’t follow their dreams and make it big. Instead, they end up at the local watering hall, sometimes wearing old sports jerseys from their heyday, but always reliving the past and wishing it was still the present.
They now have Kevin Ware’s leg to speak about for a while..
In the mean time, other events that shape our lives will occur. But we’ll turn that off. It’s too inconvenient for us..
April fool.
But the one tradition I have come to despise about today: Fake news stories that get plastered all over the web are get believed by people who forget it’s April Fools Day.
Seriously, reality is so mind-bending that I don’t want to be barraged by fiction.. Reality is much worse. However, today it will occur, because that is just how it goes..
I bet there will be some ridiculous headline and news story that makes the big time .. and it will prove fake. I almost don’t want to read a shred of information today for fear that it will be untrue.
I don’t find any of this funny, or amusing.. It’s rather annoying, to be perfectly frank.
But here we go.
Be a fool on April fools..

[wpvideo XRSUiT37]
Here is a quick video from today.. the Coal Speaker family went to what was going to be a simple and peaceful Easter Egg hunt. I never really went on these.. my wife Tara did, as a child.. This was Ayden’s first in his two years and one month of life. We didn’t know what would hit us, and I am still quite surprised at what did..
The weather was quaint.. the sun was rolling in and out from behind the clouds.. There was a warmer feeling today, at least warmer than it has been for the entire winter.. And when we arrived at the site of the Easter Egg hunt in St. Clair PA, there were hundreds of people already waiting. Baskets in hand.. children in arms.. kids in Easter bunny costumes.. ages 1 through whatever age you need to stop hunting for Easter eggs…
How bad could this be, I thought? Mom and dad figured, ‘we got this.’
So we instructed the two year old Ayden the best we could on the ground rules. He ignored most of what we said, but he knew the basic premise: Hunt and gather as many eggs as he could.. There were even prizes, apparently, for certain eggs. My wife’s sister told us, “When you get ten eggs, go to the building to collect your prizes.”
That certainly sounded easy enough, right?
By this point, more and more people had already shown up. The POTTSVILLE REPUBLICAN this morning reported that over 3,000 eggs were hard boiled and ready for the event. Clearly, there were enough people to get all of those eggs.
Shortly after 1pm, Ayden and Mommy and Daddy happily got in line in the 1-2 year old section. And then, much to my surprise, an air horn let loose to indicate that the race had begun—quite frankly it was a race I didn’t know existed.
Once the kids were permitted to go collect eggs, the parents of those children quickly forgot that they had children. They pushed, poked, ran, and did whatever they could to get in front of others. They rushed to where the eggs were, taking every single one that they could find. I thought to myself, well the rules have changed.. So I took Ayden and picked up, realizing now that it was a life and death struggle for hard boiled eggs—you can hear in the video Ayden getting so excited about the immediate need to run that he told me, “HURRY!” Meanwhile, Tara was holding the camera for what she thought would be a cute family video, only to turn into a state of modern war.
At one point you’ll hear Tara, my wife, being struck in the face. Maybe by Ayden’s shoe, or maybe by someone else. The panic was so fast and furious that I just can’t tell.
In the end, little Ayden only captured one yellow egg. You’ll see at the end of the event, he was quite proud of that little yellow egg.
I don’t know what happened in other age group sections at the egg hunt, but in the kiddie section, I was amazed at so much.. amazed that, in this little “fun” event, how parents could act.. If they acted like this because red Easter eggs mean they can collect a dollar, I’d hate to see how they act before a big natural disaster in a grocery store. Oh wait, I already did, I went to Walmart before Sandy.
So I suppose next year, or next egg hunt, we’ll be ready.
Perhaps we’ll arm Ayden with shin guards, a helmet, and a mouthpiece. Maybe we’ll get him cranked up on sugar just so he can beat the crowd..
I am just grateful Ayden got a yellow egg. As my wife and I stood in amazement for a minute after the event suddenly ended, we also saw a spattering of kids and moms here and there, looking stunned, like zombies just attacked and ate the family dog. Maybe they, like me, thought they’d get a priceless family photo of their children happily finding an egg. Little did they know, other parents had much more ulterior plans.
All for eggs.
I am amazed….
Happy Easter nonetheless. Hopefully no one tramples your eggs.

NORTH KOREA RELEASES PHOTOS OF WHAT APPEARS PLANS FOR AN ATTACK ON US MAINLAND
Though lil’ Kim may be years away from having weapons that could cause such mass destruction, it’s further evidence of an unsettling escalation of tension.. And now that Un has gone as far as saying the nation is in a state of war with South Korea, we may be beyond just increases in tension..

Next time you go to the dentist I’m sure this’ll be the back of your mind.. Or front.
7,000 Okla. dental patients possibly exposed to HIV
North Korea gonna kill us all? Not sure about that.. but it's funny how little attention their threats are getting
Why aren’t we more freaked out about North Korea aiming missles at us. They’ve basically told us, “hey we are probably going to bomb you, just giving you a heads up” and we don’t seem to care. Just a little unnerving is all
This is quite a valid question. They may not possess the weapons they claim to.. but…
They are also a nation threatening to BOMB US, kill us, and threatening to reignite war with South Korea. Yet I flipped through the major NEWS networks tonight (news?) and the big story was all that March Madness stuff, and how people are faring with their big ‘brackets’ .. and how much cash people may make off of college kids shooting hoops.
And in the mean time, North Korea is readying rockets to hit US bases.
You hear that?? Maybe it’s not true. Maybe it’s a big lie. BUT IT’S BEING REPORTED IN GLOBAL MEDIA. In America? Brackets. March madness. Cruise ships. Justin Bieber shirtless. You know, things that matter.
Yes, artistaespiritu, it matters. And maybe we should not be freaked out as much as we should be readying ourselves for all possibilities.. It reminds me of the TRUMAN SHOW, when Truman Burbank finally made it out of the fake world he lived in. What did people do? Turn the channel to the next best thing..
I finally saw the WORLD ACCORDING TO DICK CHENEY on Showtime last night.. it was a masterpiece.. of sorts.
At the beginning, I was wondering aloud, “what nudity could there possibly be in this!?” …and then Abu Ghraib appeared… I remembered it vividly, but until the moment it was in the documentary I somehow forgot it happened.
The documentary also brought back other memories for me.. I forgot, somehow, that John Ashcroft was near death in a hospital.. I forgot about about how much of a role Scooter Libby played.. It also reminded me of those debates, long ago ten years back, about whether Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. He did not. At least not when we invaded…
I also was amazed that Donald Rumsfeld blamed the Bush Administration for putting so much stock in possible stockpiles of weapons, and basing the war effort on that single issue, only to be proven wrong…
It brought back so many memories.. I forgot just how dismal things were..
And then I thought.. where is that anti-war movement now? Could they have forgotten we are still at war? Where are all those angry about domestic surveillance.. surely they know it still happens? And where are all who want Gitmo shut down.. or who think drones are too much.. or … well, I can go on.
It’s amazing how quickly we forget history. Even me, someone who prides myself on knowing quirky facts and weird things. But I forgot lots from the past ten years.. Hopefully it’s not too late that I am already doomed to somehow repeat something..
I’d say watch the WORLD ACCORDING TO DICK CHENEY if you get the chance.. it was an amazing piece of work.
Finally, Dick Cheney looks healthier than normal. He may be the bionic former vice president.
Looks like a great Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis tonight.. what does our fascination with zombies say about our mental health?

If you’re into UFOs are creepy things, chances are you viewed this UFO memo from the FBI ‘vault’ website..

Living a nightmare.. the camp where you can live out a slasher film
Continuing on my horror subjects today..
Living a nightmare: Summer camp will let people live out a slasher flick..
The camp did warn this: During Great Horror Campout you may be forcibly handled, moved, bound, hooded, chained and subjected to simulated torture by our actors. You may witness strong verbal content, which may be considered offensive in nature. This content is part of the experience and is presented for entertainment purposes only.
I don’t think I’d attend this one. Maybe when I was 18, or 20.. or 21.. But as a 32-year-old my perspective on lots of stuff has changed. And in a world that is damn scary enough with real crime and slashing, why would one want to subject their hearts and minds to a fake surrounding of terror? To each their own.
Ten years ago I’d be interested in signing up. Now I’d just rather be in bed by 11pm and sleep peacefully with a slasher trying to gut me..even if it’s not real.
Another milestone for the horror world.. Alfred Hitchcock’s THE BIRDS turns 50..
This was, as I wrote with Kubrick’s THE SHINING, another film that I did not really appreciate early on.. Later as I aged a bit though I became more of a fan.
I wasn’t around 50 years ago when it came out, but for those who were they remember when it was first released and how scary it was.. They still have the same creepy feeling.
And you have to admit, any time you’re under a large groups of birds loudly chirping, you get that deep down sense that ‘THE BIRDS’ premise is about to go wild on you..
Two good stories today on Stanley Kubrick’s THE SHINING worth reading:
Years back, I never really appreciated the Kubrick version of THE SHINING. I read the Stephen King book, and actually enjoyed the late 1990s TV adaptation (it was the late 90s, right?, or early 2000s?) of the book. I thought the Kubrick version was a little too deep for someone who just wanted a scary movie about a frightening hotel….
But maybe it wasn’t deep at all. Maybe all those references people thought meant something actually meant nothing?
But didn’t Kubrick help fake the moon landing?? Or has the joke been on us all these years?
MY YEARLY ODE TO MINI EGGS
Oh Cadbury Mini Eggs, I love you
You’re chocolate goodness, it’s true
You melt in a mouth and not in a hand,
And are always fresh and never bland
Your milky goodness and your colorful bite
Can help any creature have a good night
Your Easter gift every year,
Maybe better than a cold beer
Mini Eggs, Mini Eggs,
To you I’ll walk with faster legs
It’s time again to almost part,
I hope your chocolate will not make me fart
The Easter season will soon be gone
And with that we’ll have to say so long
In a few months, you’ll be manufactured again
Eggs of glory for women and men!
Happy Easter.

For once tumblr may not be down because of their network
Millions around the web are seeing their speed slow to a crawl.... It’s like dial up 1999 all over again..the London TELEGRAPH reports this:Cyberbunker is housed in a five-story former NATO bunker and famously offers its services to any website “except child porn and anything related to terrorism”. As such it has often been linked to behaviour that anti-spam blacklist compilers have condemend.
It retaliated with a huge ‘denial of service attack’. These work by trying to make a network unavailable to its intended users,overloading a server with coordinated requests to access it. At one point, 300 billion bits per second were being sent by a network of computers, making this the biggest attack ever.
1,000 dead ducks found in Chinese river
It was dead pigs first.. Now ducks..
Anyone getting the idea than something else is happening. Such as 1) pollution from an unregulated industry or 2) our testing of some type of bio weapons?
This story creeps me out not because of the mysterious deaths of animals but because we know the Chinese government will not be honest with what is causing the problem..
Watch for more animals. Something tells me it’s not going to stop with ducks, just as it didn’t with pigs..

How to not score drugs: Ask a cop for some on a city street
According to cops, the Shamokin, PA woman stopped a police officer and asked him to help her a fix of heroin.. obviously the cop didn’t assist.
A snippet from the NEWS ITEM:
Arlina Alves, 49, of 142 E. Lincoln St., flagged down Patrolman Raymond Siko II in his cruiser while he was patrolling Liberty Street at 9:30 a.m.
Siko said Alves told him she needed a “fix,” asked him for some heroin and even requested a ride to York to purchase heroin.
After Siko pointed out that he is a police officer, Alves allegedly replied, “That’s even better because you probably have some heroin at the station that you have taken off people. I only need one bag.”
After realizing she wasn’t getting any heroin, Siko said Alves became combative and started cursing in the middle of the street in front of three adults and two children.
Siko said Alves admitted drinking a couple bottles of wine the night before.
She was cited for public drunkenness and disorderly conduct.

People are strange..
So I have another website, as some may know, and I put a little funny comment on there about how OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN came in second place this weekend at the box office. And wouldn’t you know it, I actually got a death threat about it..
Seriously people? This movie has caused you to have so much emotion that you …. issue death threats? Fatwas? It’s a terrible (probably stupid) action movie about a terrorist attack.. Like we haven’t seen that before. Seriously…
A death threat. Over a lame movie.
Go figure.
Oh the other site is HorrorReport.com in case you were wondering.
A St. Clair, PA man assaulted a woman over her political beliefs. And it happened in his business location...
Seriously, this is nuts:
Saint Clair police Patrolman Frank DiMarco said, Prutzman, owner of The Trading Post Pawn Shop on South Second Street, assaulted the woman at the business after becoming enraged at her for supporting and voting for Obama.
The woman, who was not identified, suffered a severe laceration to the right side of her forehead, cuts and scrapes on her head, neck and ear and appeared to have dirt on her coat and scuffs on her knees and clothing, DiMarco said.
DiMarco said the argument began about 9:30 p.m. Friday over the woman’s political views at which time Prutzman threw her against walls.
As the story goes.. the victim also said that as she tried to get away, her neck was grabbed and her head was thrown off the ground…
Heck of a way to conduct business at a pawn shop, isn’t it?

I spent a little too much time this weekend reading news accounts of horrible situations
Locally, here in the coal region this morning, two beautiful young children died in a car accident.. Tonight I was reading about a child who died at an Atlanta airport after a display sign fell on him.. I am still following up about the story of the child in Georgia who was killed in his stroller, it was the second child who died on the mom—another older boy died in New Jersey in gun violence..
And you know what? I am sick of it all.
It’s not bad enough that I have a cold/flu type of a thing for about a week.. but all of this mental pressure was probably too much for me.
No news is good news.
The happiest people sometimes skip to the sports section..
But I cannot.
Instead, I broil with anger and simmer with agony at daily headlines from sea to bloody sea…
This is one crazy messed up world, don’t you think?

The kid culture ... and it's now on the catwalk
The UK INDEPENDENT reports on the ‘strangest week’ in fashion ever.. as children very young walk down the catwalk modeling clothing from top designers..
The INDEPENDENT reported it this way:
It is like any other high-fashion catwalk show – but with one small difference. This is the first Global Kids Fashion Week, and here the threat of tantrums and inappropriate behaviour comes not from the usual bitchy fashion crowd but from a pack of extravagantly styled toddlers. In the front row, mothers discreetly wrestle their uncontainable tots back into their £100-a-ticket seats just in time to see an army of beautiful children take to the runway.
“There is a huge market for kids’ fashion,” explains Alex Theophanous, one half of the online children’s store AlexandAlexa.com, who co-organised the inaugural event at London’s Freemason’s Hall. “The market is significantly bigger than ever before. We felt the time was right to take children’s fashion centre stage.”
Some may enjoy the show.. Perhaps the same people who watch countless reality programs …
They may call it cute.
They may think it’s adorable.
I’d call it exploitation … I’m frankly getting creeped out by these types of things lately..

Missing dogs and ritualistic animal killing in Idaho
People finding dogs stoned to death.. others had their skulls crushed and their bodies are found with purple cloth..

This is one cool rockin’ Pope.
Francis will not be conducting a mass at the typical place others have. According to the TELEGRAPH, he’s heading to a prison instead.
Nick Squires from the TELEGRAPH reports,
Francis, who has broken the mould with his informal approach and unscheduled walkabouts, will conduct next week’s Holy Thursday service in a prison for young offenders on the outskirts of Rome.
The service is normally held either in St Peter’s Basilica or in the Church of St John in Lateran, which is the Pope’s church in his capacity as Bishop of Rome.
This guy gets cooler and cooler all the time.

Police in the UK have allowed rich, famous, politicians, and celebrities, be protected from child sex investigations for decades
It all started with the Jimmy Saville story.. and now …
This is how the UK INDEPENDENT reports it:
Celebrities and politicians were protected from child sex investigations because hundreds of police intelligence files were kept so secret that investigating officers could not access them, it has been reported
This is the truth that few will report, few want to hear, and few want to think about.
It’s also the truth that needs to be reported, needs to be heard, and not only needs to be thought about but needs to be thoroughly investigated..
And while you’re at it, you may want to YouTube and search for CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE and get information on Franklin Cover-up.. It’s not just in the Catholic Church, or the BBC, or in dark places. It’s right in front of us.

Really. A shape shifting alien guarding the President.. ?
Probably not.
But it sure makes for great YouTube and internet entertainment.
According to a video, a Secret Service agent guarding President Barack Obama could be a shape shifting alien!
Here is the video for your reference:
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR13y76Itks]
The video was uploaded on March 19, 2013. It has a computerized narrator, which describes that a shape shifting alien is caught up somehow guarding the President..
And of course comments are already mocking the video.
I enjoyed it myself.
I don’t assume the person is uploading to be funny. I saw other videos posted by the same user, and the account promotes videos about Satanism in the music industry and other Christian-based themes.
And shape shifting aliens.
So the user may believe this is a shape shifter.. But take away that fact from it and it becomes a truly amazing video.
As funny as it may seem, and as ludicrous as it may sound, this man does in fact look like some sort of alien being. Then again, should it not be the job of a Secret Service agent to scare the pants off of anyone who would get close to the President? And on that note, this agent succeeds magically.

A high school in Bethlehem, PA, has asked students to stop using AXE body spray
Now maybe movie theaters can, too..
I hate going to a film on a weekend.. It’s a sewage pit of teenage odors. One stronger than the next. And the worst are those who don’t bath and try the AXE cover up.. Horrendous.

Rumors and rumbles: What is New Jersey *and many other places* shaking?
Rumble in the Garden State..
Many websites had information about rumblings, booms, and tremors the other day…They remain a mystery, though all the likely sources like planes and military say they aren’t responsible . Is it natural gas? Chris Christie running for another donut? A calamity coming to earth? …booms from aliens? Lots of strange theories abound. And while some laugh at those who are claiming the sky is falling, they don’t have any explanation themselves. Why did these booms take place, and where did three counties feeling the ground underneath them shake? This is a perplexing issue, isn’t it? And one that we should treat with some more respect instead of just mocking people who are fearful that the crust is shaking under our shoes. ..
The thing I find the most fascinating about this story (and various others when they occur across the world) is that big media doesn’t show up to cover it. It’s local affiliates small newspapers.. not CNN, FOX, or MSNBC.. instead people who want answers need to trudge through the millions of websites to find reliable coverage someone from a local network .. and even those stories shed little light on a subject that I believe demands greater attention..
Look.. you have a massive sinkhole in Louisiana that gets no attention. Sinkholes in Florida.. a man swallowed on a golf course on the 14th hole.. and years now of booms, rattles, tremors, all across the crust of the planet. There is something happening. Maybe science can explain it calmly and collectively. But no one from the science community has addressed it. Instead we’re left to our own demons.. speculating about what the noises could be, while others in the ‘mainstream’ laugh at conspiracy theorists who want answers.
Until you hear the booms or your house shakes, perhaps you won’t care. But when it happens to you? A whole different story —and if you’re a reporter, maybe a story you’d finally be willing to cover.

It feels like the early 90s all over again, except with a bigger chin
A late night talk show host from NBC bashing NBC as executives work behind the scenes to get rid of him and hire someone else… Leno did it to Letterman in ‘92-‘93.. Now he is being forced to take it on the chin himself as he’s being edged out in place of Fallon on the TONIGHT SHOW..
And with that, TONIGHT will be back in New York City…
It feels like the early 90s all over again, except with a bigger chin
Strange times at the Vatican: An activist says that the new Pope supported civil unions as a Cardinal
Next we will find out he wants priests to marry!
Then again, he was in love as a kid..
Hmmm…

Even more alarmingly, Gosnell instructed unlicensed workers to sedate patients with dangerous drugs in his absence… In addition, he regularly performed abortions beyond the 24-week limit prescribed by law. As a result, viable babies were born. Gosnell killed them by plunging scissors into their spinal cords. He taught his staff to do the same
Page 281 of a grand jury report about Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell.
At the trial, a worker admitted killing at least 10 babies by cutting their spines..
If you’re pro-life you’re disgusted by this story.
And if you’re pro-choice, I trust you’re disgusted as well..
This is truly a house of horrors..

This was Blake Miller, the famed ‘Marlboro Man’ of the Iraq war.
One simple image changed his life..
Today’s Iraq war news articles have been quite the stroll down amnesia lane…
Long range forecasts do continue to suggest a major snowstorm for the region early next week, with snow possible for places like Washington, DC, Philadelphia, PA, and New York City. Unlike tomorrow’s weak, light passing system, the next storm could be quite significant.
Weatherboy Weather, my favorite Facebook Weather page..
And I agree, from the models I have been watching, this could be a big one..
I have two reactions to this story from the UK DAILY MAIL about springer breakers gone bad.
1) It’s the DAILY MAIL, and they want to show scantily clad images of kids to sell some ad space and scare parents.
2) It’s the future of the world, being arrested for binge drinking… looking horridly ugly.. beer goggles to the utmost. Yep, the kids aren’t alright.
Well this is just.. bizarre. Dennis Rodman said that he danced to Michael Jackson was North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un
I think this calls for TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE, part 2.
