News program accidentally flashes penis during news coverage of crash coverage!

I'm coining a new term: Bankercide.

There seems to be so many suicides of bankers this year, a new word should be created..

It appears to be the 12th *or more?* this year..

Nonetheless, a 28-year-old banker died after leaping off of a building—a way bankercide seems to be taking place. The New York POST reports, 

Kenneth Bellando, who worked at Levy Capital since January, was found dead on the sidewalk outside his East Side building on March 12 after allegedly jumping from the sixth-story roof, sources said.

Bellando, a former investment bank analyst at JPMorgan, is the son of John Bellando, chief operating officer and chief financial officer at Condé Nast. His brother, John, a top chief investment officer with JPMorgan, works on risk exposure valuations.

Several John Bellando emails were cited during testimony at the Senate Finance Committee’s inquiry into the bank’s losses during the infamous London Whale trade fiasco.

Very interesting.
It’s the type of stuff that makes you ponder if a nefarious back story is taking place.. are things coming? Are bad days upon us? Is financial collapse ready? Or are bankers just .. going overboard?

Bankercide. You heard it here first.

Numb to the victims

Death happens every day.. mass death occurs. But we should be used to it or accept it—however do accept it often.

I am struck by the reaction of the world and media to the missing flight 370. We are facing the possibility that the 239 passengers and crew faced an overwhelmingly horrific death—the way they expired may be viewed different depending on which viewpoint you have as far as what happened to the flight itself. But by this point, it would seem obvious that there’s no life from within that plane.

And we are numb to it.
Numb in the sense that we aren’t talking about the lives aboard.. we aren’t speaking of the beautiful children who faced an awful early departure from this realm.. we aren’t talking about the wives and husbands, moms and dads, employees and employers.. The stories of all 239 people have seemingly vanished as much as their flight itself. Gone for good into the memory hole.. Never to be spoken about again.

A mass death occurred in some way, most likely..But their lives don’t seem to matter. They’re just the back story to the Malaysian mystery.

The people who seem to be suffering the most are the families of the missing.. There was a news conference held in Kuala Lumpur with updates about what we know on the missing plane—as far as the news conference, think of it like this: we don’t know a thing and anything you’ve known is wrong. But during the event, families of the missing became frustrated and emotional, screaming out in tears and anger. They were also angry at the response or lack thereof from governmental bodies. As a result, they were swept away as the media watched, families who are going through agony and misery simply dragged away from the news conference in front of reporters.. Even the BBC reported that a reporter from their agency was pushed away from family members carrying banners critical of the government. The BBC reporter, Jonah Fisher, faced a wall of police as he tried to talk to the wailing wall of people..

My point, if any, is that the story of where the plane is and how it went missing is extremely important. And the flight simulator with its programmed routes, along with the sudden movement of Flight 370 itself, are big issues. But the heart of the story are the lives aboard. If a flight carrying no one vanished they story wouldn’t matter nearly as much. But a flight carrying so many lives, so many stories, and so many souls, makes this matter much more. But at the same time the media is hardly talking about those lives, and really not permitted to speak to the families of the missing.

There seems to be something rotten in Malaysia. Either the government is hiding something or has simply dropped the ball so hard that the time frame to find the plane is now dwindling to the point of no return.

I am struck by how little attention is being paid to the lives aboard this flight. The images of the children of the disappeared was striking when I saw them the other day. But they are not just becoming forgotten.. missing plane parts are more important that body parts. 

As the families drift into darkness, rushed away from reporters snapping photos, ask yourself this: Are we just accepting of mass murder and mass death? Are we even phased by it anymore? Is it just a side story on the big story? 

War makes news only because of the men who plan war. The victims, often children birthed into a world of heartbreak, are forgotten. Collateral damage. We say. We think.

But what do we really think, deep down?

Are you a bystander in life, just watching mass death from a distance? Did you lose your connection to humanity, thinking what happens “there” will not affect here? What happens to “them” is less important than “us”? Ask yourself that..?

A painful sugarfree stomach

I am a little bit of it Altoids addict, I pop them like candy. Well I guess they are candy, but they are curiously strong candies that I seem to have no version eating one after the other the entire tin cans gone.

So that is why my wife figured it would be good to buy me the many candies as opposed to the regular size, something to help cut down my addiction..

Last night I ate an entire small can of Altoids.. they tasted a little bit different they still have the kick that I needed.

And it made my stomach turn to rot.
I could not believe the pains I having and the gastrointestinal issues only five minutes after eating my last one..

That’s when I did my due diligence, looked at the can, and realized that the mini candies are sugarfree, replacing that sugar and corn syrup goodness with dangerous aspartame..

I swore off fake sugar and artificial sweeteners years ago, and every time I have anything that contains aspartame I get immediate headaches and stomach pains. Last night I cursed Donald Rumsfeld as I tried to fall asleep, knowing that the deal worked out back last century led to this rat poison being in my body..

This morning I stopped at my local convenience store and bought a large box of Altoids.. they have sugar and I’m grateful for that.

4.4 earthquake near L.A. could be 'foreshock' for bigger shake

The magnitude 4.4 earthquake that struck near Westwood is the most significant shake in Southern California since a 5.5 earthquake hit Chino Hills in 2008, a U.S. Geological Survey seismologist told reporters at a news conference Monday morning.

Chilling..

What’s next..

Christian Aliens among us

I get a feeling that if alien life is going to be announced, it will be coming from religious leaders before the government. That way it would sink in better with people if they heard it from God-like men as opposed to devil-like whores..

And in that regard: The Vatican Observatory is co-hosting a conference in Arizona this week on the search for life beyond the solar system.. I always think back to the priest who said he’d love to baptize an alien.. Maybe the Vatican knows disclosure will lead to a surge in numbers. But what will the aliens donate in the weekly collection basket?

The Pacific ‘ring of fire’ has seemingly awakened over the past several weeks, producing large earthquakes in a number of locations.

This morning, things were no different; Southern California experienced a relatively substantial shake at 6:30am PDT.. The quake registered at 4.7 but was downgraded to 4.4. ..

While no significant damage has yet been reported, vehicles were rocked back and forth in the early morning commute hours..

CBS’s local affiliate said that they felt an intense rocking back and forth during the early morning quake. Live during the newcast, the entire set of the news program starting shaking as the helpless broadcasters were shocked during the live footage..  reports indicate that the quake lasted for several seconds, as least..

Since the initial large rattle, further aftershocks have occurred.. LA QUAKE BOT, a programmed Twitter account, gives the latest information on the aftershocks in real time..

FUK-ED

There’s been a tremendous amount of conspiracy conjecture relating to Fukushima since the nightmare began March 2011.. but this article posted at the New York TIMES is hair-raising.. Apparently Japan’s government is trying to stop reporting of facts, such as this: Radioactive cesium 137 in the surface water of the Pacific Ocean COULD BE 10,000 times as high as contamination from Chernobyl. Let that, and other facts from the article, sink in a bit..

Last night I posted something that has been getting re-posted for a long time on my personal Facebook page: It was from CRACKED, and it was the ‘8 insulting ways people act ‘Irish’ on St. Patrick’s Day’.. What sort of astounded me was the reaction it got from someone.. She was hardcore angry over the content. She is Irish, I am just about 50% if you would measure me, so I offered up the article because a friend of mine did and I found it interesting… 

But her ferocious outrage and indignation with the article was obvious from her lengthy post about the author .. corned beef.. and cabbage.  Perhaps I should have linked up this article by Seamus McKiernan on the HUFFINGTON POST. He has dual citizenship, here in the United States and also in Ireland. He is not celebrating St. Patrick’s Day because he fears that the events occurring at local watering holes and parades across the US of A have become a ‘cartoonish’ farce..  He also pointed out that St. Patrick’s colors were blue, not green.. and that the good Irish saint may not have even been Irish! 

The HUFFINGTON POST isn’t done yet.. another blogger, Bill Stieger, writes about the American version of drinking the holiday to death.. He says,

"Do you think I exaggerate? Read the messages on the horrific buttons and sweatshirts these revelers wear to degrade the tribe: "10 percent Irish/90 percent beer," or "Member of the official Irish drinking team!" Check out pervy intonations, like "Erin Go Braghless," or "Kiss my Shamrocks," or my favorite of all: "I’m starting a drunken brawl with the first person who stereotypes the Irish." I mean, please!

Can you name another ethnic group so bent on its own self abasement? Imagine any other culture or ethnic group frolicking in costumes and behaving in a manner that perpetuates the stereotypes of bigots. None do it. But Irish Americans insist on acting like the clowns at their own circus.”

Crimea has voted: 95+% of the over 1.2 million people who went to the polls want to be a part of Russia.. people took to the streets to celebrate after the vote, champagne glasses were raised and people kissed under the moonlit skies.. But what now? Well hopefully not this: State TV says Russia could turn the United States into radioactive ash..

The drums are beating.. Russia downs a United States drone, according to a report..

Beating..beating.. North Korea fires 25 missiles into the sea of Japan..

So .. what are Russians doing off the coast of Florida?

Fear the tongue..

Miley Cyrus has been grossing out the people of the planet since autumn 2013. Recently, thanks to her BANGERZ tour, we’ve seen her ride a giant hot dog enter the stage on a massive lizard-like tongue coming from a monumentally frightening image of her face.

But a construction worker involved with making the tongue slide was more than grossed out—he was injured! 

He is suing the company that built the tongue.. 

He is not suing Miley Cyrus however.

Maybe we could talk this worker and Sky Ferreira into doing us a favor and trying to figure out a lawsuit to stop Miley from being Miley.

These are the first images released of the children aboard Flight 370..

Their beautiful faces speak for themselves.

I wish for a world without tragedy and fear for children. Obviously judging from daily news, this planet  hasn’t attained any goal of goodness or love.

If a horrible accident occurred on board this plane, it’s assumed that all 239 passengers succumbed to their ill-fated demise quickly. I fear that did not happen.. I especially cringe thinking about the plane experiencing a hijacking gone wrong, or something even worse for the innocent people aboard the flight.

Yes, indeed.. those who tune out of heavy headlines may be the happiest. 

I’m not like that. I soak up the news as much as a Sheryl Crow soaks up the sun. And for that, I am typically upset about what some nation or person has done to an innocent child in a dark part of the planet Earth.
