Oh the fun! Sunbathing in the middle of poverty and riding a water slide while government goons monitor your every move.
The WASHINGTON POST is reporting on a new water park in North Korea.. The government built the brightly colored park, in the middle of the drabby conditions the nation faces.. among some odd photos released, the POST reports, pictures of “handful of eager-looking young men and women playing in the water while, in the background, a mass of several hundred stern-looking men in dark suits look on silently. It’s weird.”
Creepy..
I cannot believe how bad the Obama Administration missed the chance to make Healthcare.gov exceptional.. And now this
OBAMASHOCK: Healthcare.gov website STOLE copyrighted scripts! And the site STILL does not work!? Shameful.. technologically shameful..
It got to the point today where the President had to have a special address in the Rose Garden the mess—and someone actually passed out during the event! The woman was probably exhausted from trying to create an account on the .GOV website..
What a major goof up this all is..
CEOs and the occult: A story just in time for Halloween
New York TIMES details: “When CEO’s embrace the occult” The TIMES writes about Korean executives who often consult spiritual advisers before making major business decisions — decisions that can affect their employees around the world…
An author makes a new claim: Robert Kennedy stole JFK's brain!
RFK stole JFK’s brain. What else do I have to say.

A fascinating story from Japan: The youth of the nation do not want t have sex.. so much so that there is a birth crisis on the horizon..
The UK GUARDIAN has a report about Japan, where people seemingly have stopped desiring sexual relations.. As a matter of fact, it’s not just a disinterest, but a large percentage of the nation ‘despises’ sexual contact!
Even more, the ‘celibacy syndrome’ is so bad that the government is worried about it.
Not mentioned in the story: Worries about Fukushima.. I wonder how many people have stopped being interested in having children because they fear the nation that their children would actually grow up in?
Nonetheless, the GUARDIAN story is worth the read..
And it’s not just Japan.. people in America too seemed much less interested in sex than ever before..Maybe American kids are just plain lazy?
Is this just evolutionary? That naturally, somewhere along the line, human beings would stop being interested in the very act that resulted in our existence?

POLITICO REPORTS: Tech ‘surge’ to tackle Obamacare websites
The Obama administration Sunday said it’s called on “the best and brightest” tech experts from both government and the private sector to help fix the troubled website at the root of the Obamacare enrollment problems.
A new Administration. A new ‘surge’ to handle a crisis of their own creation.
I just hope no one in the White House hired on David Karp.
POLITICO REPORTS: Tech ‘surge’ to tackle Obamacare websites
Six year ago today (on a day virtually the same as today weatherwise) my wife Tara and I took our first walk as a married couple. This image perfectly symbolized how I felt that day—walking into the future, backs to the past.. but the same bridge of life.
Since then we had a child, headaches and heartaches, deaths and tribulations. Along with it, laughs, endless smiles, and sure, a few necessary frowns.
The journey of life.. accompanying each other..
After six years, we now have a legacy. A child ..
In six years, he’ll be going on 9.. and we’ll be combing out gray hairs—with me maybe shining a bald head.
While we know things can mightily change in the span of only a few years, a few constants will remain.
DAILY BEAST on the HEALTHCARE.GOV disaster
Whether you agree with the Obama Affordable Care Act or not, one thing appears clear: The rollout of the website was a complete and utter disaster..

So what did CARRIE fail at the box office?
I thought the cool secret advertisement that was done in the New York City coffee shop did a great job showcasing the movie.. I have seen endless ads for the film.. the word of mouth has been decent, and actually I even saw a review in CHRISTIANITY TODAY that portrayed the movie in a much more favorable light than what would be expected from a religious publican.
So why did it fail?
First off, it’s up against what may possibly be the movie of the year: GRAVITY, which is now experiencing its third week as the number one film at the box office—and that is pretty impressive this year, as many movies did not have much staying power once released.
But it’s almost Halloween.. scares are in the air. So why did a horror movie fail?
Interestingly enough, it seems that scary flicks do better in the middle of the summer than the autumn—maybe kids are out of school and parents are more apt to get them into a an R rated film than they would be when school’s in session? I recall when my mom took me to see FRIDAY THE 13TH JASON TAKES MANHATTAN and my music teacher caught her in the act..
There is a certain aspect of CARRIE that doomed it from the beginning: The fact that MGM actually remade it to begin with. It was not really, well.. needed. The original film is still a classic, and people happily watch that version when they have the chance.. Nikki Finke made a good point, too: CARRIE did not satisfy the people who wanted SAW-like gore, and didn’t make people happy who wanted the creepy factor like in PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
So here we have CARRIE, a film that may have been better never existing—at least the current incarnation..
But one other thing is for sure: THE FIFTH ESTATE, Wikileaks movie, flopped big time. It is only in about 1700 or so theaters. Next week, it will be lucky to be in 17..
Now this will be a World Series to remember
The Boston Red Sox have won the American League pennant and will meet the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series..

After six years and marriage and a two and a half year old...
…an anniversary dinner at a nice restaurant reveals two truths:
1) We don’t know how to eat hot food anymore. There were no interruptions for us to let it cool down..
And 2) We forgot how to drive at night.
This is now the life of me and my wife:
'A DEADLY CITY'
Not what Wilkes Barre wants to hear.. You’re now MORE LIKELY to die in a homicide in the pennsylvania city than you are in Philadelphia, New York City , and Chicago..
A troubling trend. Read all about it.

I smell a PR disaster..
Sirius XM just dropped a lot of popular shows and channels from their lineup.. a contractual issue with Clear Channel is the reason. But head over to the Sirius Facebook page and see .. every single comment is someone saying they are now dropping their Sirius subscription..
And in a sense, Sirius did not tell people who were signing up within the last few days that the shows they were signing up for were suddenly going to be dropped on midnight October 18 .. very bad business plan on this one Sirius.. .. very bad indeed. They are lucky they have Howard Stern and Art Bell.. There really are few other reasons at this point to keep the service if you’ve already paid for it..
