NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS?
CNN is about to make a major change and have LESS news.. Well, the Weather Channel stopped airing weather..
The Central New Network may as well fire all their newscasters..
Call me crazy, but I miss the days of CNN’S HEADLINE NEWS back in the early days when they’d have a live broadcast, every half hour, of the news of the moment. Am I dating myself with that one?
But it was CNN HEADLINE NEWS—-real news—like NEWS. And not just blips and beeps coming from talking heads. I am tired of politics.. I am tired of the ‘right wing and left wing’ arguments, arguments that go no where and are tired out from their own weight of hair air. And now CNN will air less news..
I am releasing a big ‘sigh.’
I suppose this is only more evidence to show why millions of people go immediately to the INTERNET and Twitter for news—news you cannot find, or ever will, on any news network on the TEE VEE..
Life-Threatening Cold to Plunge Into Rockies, Plains
Heads up United States—it’s going to be so cold your spit will freeze. Even more, it could kill. Not a situation to be ignored—this is the coldest air in the United States in 20 years (And it’s early for it, too) ..

I envy anyone who saw this firsthand..

Good evening all!!!
Power outage plunges most of Venezuela in darkness
THIS IS THE REUTERS DISPATCH:
Venezuela’s second massive power outage of the year plunged much of the nation into darkness on Monday night, prompting renewed talk of sabotage from President Nicolas Maduro’s government and cries of incompetence from its foes.
Power went off in Caracas and other cities around the country soon after 8 p.m. local time (0030 GMT), to the intense annoyance of residents and commuters.
Intense anger is being expressed by citizens who are without electricity …

No security ever built into Obamacare site: Hacker
Can this get any worse?
I know we are going with the word of a hacker—but I’d take the word of a hacker over other experts..
This may be worse than the website not working.

It's a pretty big deal in the house tonight!
The Charlie Brown Christmas special airs tonight!
Ayden is excited. His own words, ‘daddy I love this one.’
Mommy says ‘it’s the only one that makes mommy not want to hurt herself.’
The dog has a bone.
Christmas has begun..
Cats suffering from 'Tom and Jerry' syndrome
Vets warn of a new phenomenon whereby cats suffer seizures triggered by everyday sounds around the house, like the clicking of a computer mouse or the tapping of a boiled egg
I blame GIFs

Blame it on the bot!
More scary Google patent news: Google files patent for robot that writes your Facebook posts, emails and tweets - but will need FULL access to scan your accounts It would study you, be you, and mimic you.
When someone posts a message, your robot you would reply just as you would. But what if the other person is a bot, too?
What if we are all bots?
This is a ride down to the abyss, where your mind will be dead to ‘them’ and your body will simply be a cavern of organs, blood, and a semi-beating heart.
Nothing stopping them now.
NO rest for the weary
"Comfort station" in old coal city Pottsville PA is a thing of the past.. The economic downtown and a city in distress—as many cities are these days..
Well here in the coal region, the Monday after Thanksgiving means only one thing: Deer season.
I’m grateful because there is a less chance through the winter that Bambi and children will smash into my window..
However, as this horrendous song (but overly played today in Pennsylvania) proves, not all hunters are on the march for a deer.. maybe instead they are just getting drunk and wearing dirty underwear.
Oh the coal region.
I have fond memories years ago of my father telling me to either ‘wear orange’ when I leave the house or just stay in the basement all day, because drunk hunters have terrible shots.
Maybe my dad was right about these precautionary actions. I am still alive today.
And one day I will express the same warnings to my own son…

This is an absolutely *(to me)* amazing story appearing in NATURE.. Apparently dinosaurs used a community bathroom back in their day.. A latrine used by all! Dinos included.
And now we know where it is..

Good evening all…
I applaud the makers of the Travel Channel's AMERICA DECLASSIFIED on tonight's Centralia episode. Somehow they were able to edit out all of the images of male and female genitalia from America's only 'graffiti highway'.
Plus an infared drone proved that the 50 year old mine fire was still glowing strong deep in the coal mines of Centralia.
Cool stuff.
I knew a few former residents (maybe family included) that refused to watch this show tonight because it included David Dekok. I never blamed him for anything, instead he did his job as a good reporter.
Nonetheless, science proves what some residents deny: The mine fire is a problem and remains one, even though those remaining few say there are no dangers.
Now my only question: What other towns will it spread to?
