I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing, but a heavily aged Naked Cowboy is still going strong in New York City.. Read more here.
And reading the weather report, the Naked Cowboy will have plenty more chances for his nipples to cut glass. Lots of cold coming and snowstorms likely over the next two weeks, too..
AMEN!
No pun of any sorts intended
Of course, someone may correctly point out that Shaggin Wagons and carpeted bedrooms of yesteryear were equipped with mirrors, the old fashioned way of Google Glassing it. These days it’s all techno, baby.
But you’re so vain, you probably thought the sex was about you.
So … how long before Google Glass gets banned—or used—in your bedroom?
………because God cares if someone scores a touchdown.
Mystery solved: Why clocks seem to stop ticking the second you look at them
It turns out that the perception of time passing is as much in our heads as it is a part of reality.
Cool story.
Do people still have analog clocks…??
There’s lot of chaos happening in Kiev.. RT is there with photos and a full report.
What you need to know about this story: There have been three days of fighting between protesters and police.. There seems to be more black smoke billowing over the capitol city of the Ukraine today .. There are also reports that several protesters have now died during the violent clashes.
The New York TIMES provides a bit of background on why all of this suddenly began:
The Ukrainian crisis escalated sharply last week after President Viktor F. Yanukovich signed new laws restricting public assembly and limiting media freedoms. That revived a protest movement that had been fading, as its political leaders were focusing their efforts instead on elections scheduled for next year.
As though Vlad the Impaler Putin doesn’t have enough to worry about with the Sochi games, he’s getting involved with the crisis in Kiev, chiding the European Union for ‘meddling’ in the affairs of the Ukraine. Reuters reports this:
(Reuters) - Russia told European governments on Tuesday to stop meddling in Ukraine’s political crisis and said events could be spinning out of control in Kiev after violence that left vehicles burning in the streets.
Moscow, which sees its fellow former Soviet republic as part of its traditional sphere of influence, has watched nervously as protests against President Viktor Yanukovich’s decision to shun a trade pact with the European Union have turned violent.
Scores of police and demonstrators have been hurt since Yanukovich, who received a multi-billion-dollar bailout package from Moscow after he spurned the EU deal, angered opponents by signing sweeping laws to curb public protests.
RT has a regularly updated minute by minute blog of the happenings..
The government has called the protesters terrorists. The protesters have said they are the ‘people’s council.’ It is beginning to sound and look a lot like THE DARK KNIGHT RISES in Kiev. But there’s no Batman to stop these scenes..
Take that lamestream snoozies.. You got just got smacked down by someone who you probably didn’t even pay …
Nevermore, I guess.
The Edgar Allan Poe toaster has been absent (not absinthe) for a few years.. The tradition is now almost officially being declared dead. And that’s pretty sad..
There seems to be lots of amazing things from the 20th century quickly vanishing here in this new era. And concerning Poe and other famed literary stars, it would appear that appreciation of good writing, storytelling, and literature, is also dying away too..
Guess who’s back!? Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, who was caught on video in a fast food restaurant ranting and being plain out offensive.
Throughout much of the minute-long video, titled “New Video of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford Drunk, Swearing in Jamaican Patois,” Ford attempts to use Jamaican slang, using the word “bumbaclot” — profanity in patois — at least four times.
The mayor admitted he was drinking alcohol. “A little bit, yeah,” he told reporters. He had pledged numerous times he does not drink anymore, after revelations in 2013 of his crack use while in office.
Good to have you back, Mr. Mayor.
Thank God for a snowstorm, I suppose. Timing couldn’t have been better..
The death of film, quite literally.. PARAMOUNT has become the first movie studio to end releasing film prints .. The end of film is set for the the end of this year, 2014.. 120 years of 35mm .. gone.
Dope show continues.. Justin Bieber urinates his initials into snow during big trip.. According to the TMZ report (with photos of the urine stained snow), Bieber’s entourage pulled up in front of people in an afluent neighborhood.. surrounded by his bodyguards, Bieber began to urinate his JB into the snow. At this point it would appear that Justin Bieber is an animal, marking his territory. In the mean time, TMZ is reporting on the treasure trove of drugs found in Bieber’s mansion .. Cops saw the ‘Bob Marley Room’ and all of Beeb’s sizzurp..

What up y’all?
SOCHI, Russia (AP) — A shining new $635 million highway on the outskirts of Sochi stands next to a crumbling apartment block with a red “SOS!” banner on its roof.
This is expected, but interesting. Snooze media sources will be informing us of glory and wonder in Sochi for a few weeks.. But we will most likely not hear of what this AP article describes. The crumbling and desperate city of Sochi, being blinded by the bright light of the world’s attention for two weeks.
You want to know who has the money?? 85 people on this planet hold as much money as the entire half of the world.. That story is being reported by the UK GUARDIAN, and it’s amazing to fathom. So much for the 99%, we are not the 99.99999% ..
But just fathom this. 85 people own all of that? 85..
Residents now watching to see how close to their homes it gets..
We posted the breaking news from CNN ealier that U.S. military will have up to two warships and several large transport aircraft on standby under a contingency plan to help evacuate American officials and athletes during the Sochi Olympics if ordered..
Now we see why. The black widows..
WOW.
SIRI is predicting the end of the world.
And get this, I tried the same dates the person in this video did and I got the SAME responses.
It’s freaky.. strange.. bizarre. And explained here on the CULT OF MAC.
They report:
Apple’s personal virtual assistant Siri is a smart cookie, but she’s veered towards the apocalyptic and apocryphal this morning, predicting the opening of the gates of hell on July 27th.
If you ask Siri “What is July 27,” her response is invariably “It’s Sunday, 27 July 2014 (Opening Gates Of Hades).”
Curiously, Siri’s timetable for this imaginary apocalypse changes quite significantly if you reworded the question. Ask her explicitly when the gates of hell are opening, and she’ll tell you that we’ve actually all been living in hell since May 14, 2005.
Both of these, of course, are just funny errors on the part of Wolfram Alpha, the computational engine that drives many of Siri’s queries.
When Siri claims the gates of hades will open next July, she’s actually talking about the Chinese ghost month, which is the 7th month of the lunar year, and which Chinese legend says is accompanied by the opening of both the gates of hell and heaven.
As for Siri saying that we’ve all been living in hell since the gates were thrown 2005, she might be right, but what she’s actually referring to is the opening of Hades, which appears to have been a mid-2000’s bar or club in Gates, New York. It isn’t around anymore.
I really don’t care who explains it.. to hear it myself on my own iPhone is creepy as hell…
George Knapp is like a cat.. he has 8 more lives to go.
Anyone who knows anything about George Knapp will know that he almost died of sepsis—this website was the first to report that weeks ago after learning the exclusive information directly from George Knapp himself.
Last night, he came back to Coast to Coast AM for his Sunday hosting gig, and thank God he did. Most forget what good radio sounded like..
Knapp had Brad Steiger and Williams Birnes as guests to talk about the ‘other’ America and paranormal topics. It was a great show—and a great credit goes to Knapp for returning and explaining why he was absent his hosting duties since November.
George Knapp is a great radio host and deserves as much appreciation as Art Bell.. people who listen to Coast to Coast AM know how lucky listeners are to have him.
Bravo Knapp. Glad you’re back..

Billy Crystal will be the final Jay Leno TONIGHT guest..
Jimmy Fallon already announces his first TONIGHT SHOW guests: Will Smith and U2.. I think the show will be highly rated for a bit. I think that eventually people will move over to Jimmy Kimmel. I just don’t think Fallon has what it takes to engage a national audience like Leno did—and watching modern ‘comedians’ makes me realize just how unfunny they all are..
"We’ve got a war going on here in Harrisburg," said Theodore Rooks, grandfather of 18-year-old Hauson Keeron Baltimore-Greene Jr.
This is a tremendously sad story from the capitol of Pennsylvania.. So much undeeded violence in Harrisburg.
There’s a new mayor in town, too. With a big job.
I hope to hell Harrisburg gets better. It’s a beautiful city with wonderful people—nothing like the violence it is seeing is deserved.
So now it’s up to you, Mr. Papenfuse..
Anyone in the pink or purple need to pay close attention to weather forecasts.. I have checked a few models and I think the pink especially has some localized blizzard potential for tomorrow.. (Tuesday Jan 21 2014)
Here’s the latest warnings and watches: http://www.weather.gov/
Also be aware: Road salt will not be working effectively at the temperatures predicted..
A team of internationally renowned war crimes prosecutors and forensic experts has found “direct evidence” of “systematic torture and killing” by the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, the lawyers on the team say in a new report.
CNN and the UK GUARDIAN has a joint exclusive on this Syrian story.. Here is what you need to know, thus far, about this developing story: There are photos of thousands of dead bodies in Syria. They are purportedly detainees who were killed in Syrian prisons. According to a ‘team of war crime prosecutors’ the photographs show direct evidence of war crimes and would stand up in an international tribunal …
More from CNN on a KEY point:
CNN cannot independently confirm the authenticity of the photographs, documents and testimony referenced in the report, and is relying on the conclusions of the team behind it, which includes international criminal prosecutors, a forensic pathologist, an anthropologist and an expert in digital imaging
CNN said that the images show a gruesome parallel to the Nazi death photos from World War II..
The evidence, we are told from the CNN report, comes from a defector named “Caesar.” He claimed to CNN that he photographed at least 50 bodies a day..
Obviously this is going to become a very quickly developing story. It’s been a while since Obama addressed the nation on Syria and war potentials.. maybe that address will soon have a sequel.
Then again, it is worth noting: We have been told many things in the past about war crimes that never were, such as babies being thrown from incubators in Iraq in the early 1990s. I do believe, however, that there are tremendously horrid war crimes taking place in Syria.
I suppose we will learn more as time ticks on. I still think there is a potential that the United States will enter a war in Syria..
Yea.. this is weird. A chem bomb alert may be overstated, but the video certainly provokes interest in me.. why does this ball of white light explode over San Diego?
The U.S. military will have up to two warships and several large transport aircraft on standby under a contingency plan to help evacuate American officials and athletes during the Sochi Olympics if ordered, a U.S. official with direct knowledge of the plan told CNN Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr.
The official said the State Department would take the lead in organizing and evacuating Americans. The official declined to be identified because of the sensitive nature of the information.
More Martian intrigue
Muddying the Martian Waters: The rock that suddenly appeared in front of the Mars rover is like no rock ever seen before on the red planet.. Baffled scientists realize that the rover never ever drove over that spot before.. One scientist was quoted in the UK INDEPENDENT saying, “I don’t know what any of this means. We’re completely confused, and everyone in the team is arguing and fighting”

This man was beaten by New York City ‘police’ because he was jaywalking. He apparently, also, did not understand the orders they were saying to him..
You can read more at the New York POST ..
Perhaps the worst of the story, as reported by the POST:
He was cuffed and and taken to St. Luke’s Hospital. After several hours, he was hauled off to the 24th Precinct station house.
His 41-year-old son, a lawyer who would not give his name, first said at the station house Sunday night that did not wish to discuss his feelings about the incident.
“I don’t want to talk about anything like that in front of all these cops,’’ he told the Post
But walking farther down the street, he said, “The cops are playing games. They won’t tell me what he’s being charged with.”
He first heard his dad had been busted in a 6 p.m. phone call from cops, who asked if the elderly man needed medication but would not say which hospital he’d been taken to. So the son went to the station house, where he said he got a similar run-around.
Finally, he found out on his own that his dad was at St. Luke’s and had been arrested for jaywalking.
“Oh, great! Beating up on an 84-year-old man for jaywalking,’’ he said.
Neither the hospital nor the cops would allow him to see his dad until after 10 p.m., explaining that since he’d not been admitted, he was not a patient, but a “prisoner.’’
Is our sun falling asleep? The BBC asks that, and quotes a solar physicist of 30 years who says he never saw anything like what the sun is currently doing. Could there be a frost fair again on the Thames, as happened the last time the sun fell asleep during the 17th Century?
The 'polar vortex' is coming back. But not really. It will not be as cold as it was earlier this month. And I am really tired of news agencies scaring the long Johns off of everyone. This is winter.. it will be cold. It will snow. You hear that all the time. You want cold? Go back to 1994 in the Northeast when it was so cold, businesses and schools shut down.. People literally could not walk outside. I was 14 during the great American Cold Wave of 1994 and fondly remember it.. being off school was cool—adults had it worse than me at the time. But when you compare THAT winter to this one? I don’t even want to hear people talking about the polar vortex. It’s already the most overused weather expression of the year.. How about start telling people, “Well, WINTER is still here.” In the summer when temps reach 100 or more, what fancy term will we come up with to scare the hell out of everyone?
1994.. when cold waves were king.
Have a good winter day, everyone.
Wow.. I don’t know what to say or how to answer this one.
I don’t really think you’ve read much on this site.. I am from a region in Pennsylvania called the ‘coal region’ where anthracite coal is mined—hence the name. As for me? I am not a coal miner .. I do burn coal as a heat source in my home, but that’s because, again, I am from the anthracite coal region.
I really, really don’t think you’ve ever read my blog..
I hate it.
My wife and I bought a new TV and, while exploring, came across the app for Portico news. It was awful. Fake background, fake newscasters.. nothing real. It was so bad.
There is nothing ‘real’ about Portico news. The over made up and trendy dresses ‘newscasters’ stand in front of a green screen. They tell us they will give us news, encapsulating all the most important things in a nutshell for us in just 20 minutes. I could not even put up with 20 seconds of it! It was so awful.. It was as of
It actually began to make my physically sick. I was desperately trying to TURN OFF the Portico News feed but the television remote stopped working.. I felt trapped and hopeless. The Portico song kept playing over and over again, mocking me.. it felt like a harpoon of awful things directly into my heart.. Watching Portico news for the 25 seconds I did, I think my IQ actually dropped about 10 points.
I don’t think I have ever come across an app that made me physically nauseous.. If why wife would not have commandeered the remote and quickly turned the whole system ‘off’ I may have actually vomited all over the new smart TV. It was just that bad..
There is nothing good about PORTICO NEWS.
Ambien is becoming better known for triggering bizarre behavior than it is for treating insomnia.
Interesting story.
Sleep well, zombies. Sleep well.
Yesterday I was amazed that scientists were ‘baffled’ by a rock suddenly appearing on Mars in front of the Rover. Today I’m baffled (and scientists pretty much silent) on an image of what appears to be a triangle shaped something on the moon.. It was caught using Google maps and looks like a space craft. Sure, eyes can deceive and things that look like something turn out to be nothing but shadows—a-la the Face on Mars.
Some international media sources have picked up on the Internet flurry of UFO activity, such as the tabloid METRO in the UK
Another site, TECH AND GADGET NEWS, appears to be getting the most credit with popping the story into the somewhat mainstream. They are running an article about how the triangle shaped alien craft on the earth’s satellite in the sky. You can read that article here: http://techandgadgetnews.com/ufo-tech-alien-base-spotted-google-moon-video/

Yes, I know.. K-chinga is in rehab for who knows what.. and she has haunted vagina. I guess that happens when you carry the torch of the Illuminati.. But by God, her ‘singing’ TIMBER with Pitbull just makes me want dance. Of course reading the urban dictionary of what timbering actually means, I don’t everyone would have an abundant love for the tune. Nonetheless, when the hell did we care what songs meant anyway!?

The pale blue dot, we are on.. Floating into oblivion..
I’m sure there’s some logical scientific reason that a mystery rock has suddenly appeared in front of the Mars rover.. Right?
You can read the full story here..
NASA scientist Steve Squyres was quoted:
“So my best guess for this rock … is that it’s something that was nearby,” said Squyres. “I must stress that I’m guessing now, but I think it happened when the rover did a turn in place a meter or two from where this rock now lies.”
How long until disclosure? Aliens in glass houses don’t throw stones..
Facebook is sweating, or it seems.. Apparently the intrusion of Moms and Grandmoms on the social media platform, spreading photos of their dogs and meals, has caused a revolt: Teens are abandoned Facebook to Tweet. Hence, Zuckerberg is becoming more like Twitter..
I don’t know if it will work—it may be too late to stop the bleeding.
Once a platform becomes uncool, kids leave it. That’s why JC Pennys and Sears are doing so awful…

Execution in Ohio: Witnesses say Dennis McGuire snorted and struggled to breathe during his nearly 25 minute long execution. Lawyers for the convicted rapist had argued that the method of execution would put him at a risk of unusual agony and terror. The death has been called horrific.
I am not a real big fan of capital punishment, maybe that’s the Catholic education I had.. nonetheless, if we’re going to do it, do we want this much pain and suffering?
Really.. why not just do the Kim Jong Un way and feed them to dogs? Or the old fashioned way and make the lions ravage him? I am not in a position to judge anyone in a family who lost a loved one and seeks the death penalty as retribution for a crime.
But I am in a position, as any other human being is, to say that if we’re going to have this type of government sanctioned killing, let’s do it as fast as we can and not have someone struggle for 25 minutes dying.. Come on John Kasich, can’t you do something sensible here? I just had to say my peace.

Every time another planet discovery is announced, I question how long until we find the alternate versions of us? How long until we see that we’re just being replicated in the galaxy, a mass computer system of simulations. The matrix.. All that.

But there’s a certain level of disgust and revolt I have when journalistic institutions have stories running about ‘50 ways to celebrate Michelle Obama’s birthday,’ as ABC NEWS does today.
It would be just as bad to do this about Laura Bush, or the wife of a North Korean dictator…
I just wish reporters were reporters again and not simply mouthpieces for puff propagandists. Nonetheless, Happy Birthday Michelle..

In reviewing data for next week, we believe the Arctic intrusion expected next week into early February will be more severe and will last longer than it did in the northeast for the “polar vortex”-coined event earlier this month.
That quote comes from my favorite weather source on Facebook, Weatherboy Weather.
I looked at the same data he did.. And yes.. WINTER is not over.
It’s interesting, I remember reading some stories back last year, even from Accuweather, about how there was going to be cold at Christmas followed by a period of warmth in January followed by the real winter season in February. I guess those forecasts are becoming clearer as we get closer. The famed polar vortex will be back..
If only SNL had Chris Farley to play the Polar Votex as well as he played El Nino, we’d be set.
