Late night grim reaping
If you’re still awake, you may want to tune into Coast to Coast AM, hosted tonight by John B. Wells.
The topic: THE GRIM REAPER..
As the Coast to Coast website describes:
Investigative reporter Peter Lance joins John B. Wells to discuss once secret FBI files that tell the definitive story of Gregory Scarpa Sr. aka “The Grim Reaper;” a Mafia capo, who “stopped counting” after 50 murders, while secretly betraying the Colombo crime family as a top FBI informant.
It’s an interesting topic..
Scarpa is an interesting character I’ve read about years back..
With Wells there is at least one thing you can county on great music. The topic tonight is thankfully not politics or world events.. with some interesting stories of Scarpa and some creepy music, you’ll want to lock your doors and make sure the windows are tightly closed.

Didn’t go to a party tonight, but I went to a block party in Minersville.. Had some good buttery halushkie, and other coal region food at its best and most artery clogging.
Sadly I didn’t hear SAPPHIRE sing Kiss Me Deadly because Ayden got tired and we had to go home.. But enjoyed the show I saw nonetheless.
It certainly put me in a Lita Ford kinda mood—maybe because so many in this region drink their Yuengling while still dressing like their kissing deadly in 1985..

Well it’s pretty much official tonight.. the LONE RANGER is a bust at the box office.
Nikki Finke is reporting on DEADLINE.COM that the movie has had a wretched performance since it opened this week.. Not even good ticket sales on Friday. Apparently very few people want to see the movie..
While you cannot go by ticket sales to judge if a movie is good, you can at least state that this film is the latest of some big Hollywood budget busters this summer with fetched little money..
Finke reported that the movie may not even top $50 mil for the entire weekend..
Horrible performance.
Johnny Depp has a following. But apparently the Lone Ranger just doesn’t..
Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg: I switched flight to San Francisco
Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg said she had planned to take the flight that crashed on landing in San Francisco on Saturday. Sandberg decided to switch to another airline in order to use reward miles, she said in a post on her Facebook page. “Taking a minute to be thankful and explain what happened. My family, colleagues Debbie…
A stroke of luck for Sandberg, who averted having happen to her what is happening to over 180 people tonight.. and of them, over 40 are in critical condition.. One report surfaced tonight saying 2 were dead from the Boeing disaster..
CNN is reporting tonight that there were 307 on board the doomed flight. Nine different hospitals are treating the injured..
There are also some amazing and breathtaking images online. It’s amazing, looking at the scene, that we are not talking about even more grim numbers tonight.. thank God we aren’t.. but that’s no comfort for the 2 already fatally injured and the others who are in serious condition..

No matter how many times I watch people scare their unfortunate co-worker in this restaurant, I cannot help but laugh in spite of myself..

Disaster Saturday part 1
From the Canadian-U.S. border, a train carrying oil derailed in Lac-Megantic in the morning. NBC news dispatches report one quote saying “everything that was there is gone”.. Another report has that the Quebec town is ablaze in the aftermath due to what the train was carrying.. MORE HERE
The future of earth: Hostile and angry.. The mid-life crisis for the planet is upon us
A respectable publication, the UK INDEPENDENT, has a headline zooming its way around the Internet(s) tonight thanks to Drudge for linking it.. The topic: The Earth and the sudden mid-life crisis the planet finds itself in..
The report focuses on the how the future will be quite hostile to life. While we may find it hostile already, the type of planet Jack O’Malley-James is talking about goes a little like this, as the INDEPENDENT reports:
According to leading scientist Jack O’Malley-James, life on Earth will perish in more than a billion years when a warming sun boils oceans and forces out CO2, damning plants and subsequently animals.
Most life will have died by the planet reaches 70s (or 6.5 billion-years-old), he says, with any microorganisms confined to pools of residual water.
“The far-future Earth will be very hostile to life,” Mr O’Malley-James said. “It will be restricted to pockets of liquid water, perhaps at cooler higher altitudes or in caves.
And you thought WE had it tough!
Quite a bad picture painted by this expert—and many others.
The immediate future may not feature boiling oceans.. but we do have a water crisis coming, quite possibly a food crisis, and a changing earth making some rough weather happen in places that never had it.
That mid-life crisis is never easy..
The Lone Ranger is in some big danger:
BUT..
Could this be the next big summer bust? Disney hopes not, since it was a very expensive gamble for the Studio..
Elijah Wood is really good at promoting himself and horror..
I have been seeing headlines about how much Elijah Wood likes horror movies for weeks now..
The latest here:
Wood told the AP: “I love Mike Meyers. He didn’t have a long shelf-life because I didn’t love all the iterations of that character. He’s a great rendering of the boogey man. Jack Nicholson’s character in “The Shining” is extraordinary. I tend to find characters from a more rooted, real place to be more frightening and unsettling. What happens to Reagan in “The Exorcist” I love and find horrifyingly scary. Freddy Kruger is more fun. He becomes a jokester which is fun to watch. That’s another angle with horror.”
It’s all about the marketing.. and it seems that Elijah Wood understands that..

Proof of heaven? Not so much
Remember that best selling book called PROOF OF HEAVEN written by Dr. Eben Alexander? I
f not, it sold two million copies and Dr. Alexander appeared on media ranging from radio to print to television..
In the book, Alexander says he had experiences during a seven-day coma that proved heaven existed .. Those claims and that book is now being challenged, even now with hospital officials stating that a number of examples of dramatization and ‘artistic license’ being taken.. Alexander says he stands by his story..
Wonder what Oprah will think!?
The Loch Ness Monster mystery has been explained, according to one researcher.. Italian geologist Luigi Piccardi says that underground rumbling and bubbles are not the monster, but instead evidence of a fault line under Lake Loch Ness..
If the good expert is right, I am upset. I’d much rather believe that a dinosaur like creature still swims on this planet..
