Believe nothing.
Trust nothing…
Remember when the world celebrated the resignation of RT reporter Liz Wahl? Now it is revealed that a neo-con think tank helped engineer it
I met up with a friend who informed me that she went to a place called RetroCon. It’s filled with toys and nostalgia from my childhood.. and it’s only about 90 minutes away in Oaks, PA..
I really can’t believe I’ve heard about this now only for the first time. I do intend on making 2014 the year we get there..
Going old school this weekend—something about parades in the coal region remind me of my early childhood days of the 1980s.. But so much has changed in the coal region of Pennsylvania since the Reagan days of the shining cities on hills and Communist threats. Now we are faced with dilapidated structures and hardcore drugs running wild on the streets..
But it was still a decent day in Girardville as bagpipers played as beer guzzling parade goers cried until their kilts ran dry..
All we need is a miracle.. maybe a miracle… Maybe some day.
My Daily Doodle.. inspired by Ayden.
This is the Purple Nurple, and the Green Spleen. They are imaginary creatures that live in the corners of our house that come to Ayden before he goes to bed.
Introduced at bed time tonight: The Brown Frown.
Today’s daily doodle was done before the Brown Frown showed up..
A few weeks ago, we heard news of Iran moving a submarine to the United States East Coast and Russia moving a spy ship of some kind to Cuba.
That should be a pretty startling question, really..
The United States has not been faced with such questions for some time. Terrorism brought a new form of illusive warfare to the shores of the United States.. but state run military threats were thought to be a thing of the past.
Until Iran made a ‘deal’ with us.. and until the breakdown of relations with Russia took place—despite those old weird photo ops featuring Hillary Clinton and reset buttons.
This new NATIONAL JOURNAL article breaks it down this way:
Russia and Iran have been cited as possible threats that might, at some point, lurk in the waters just off U.S. shores.

A 2013 military exercise pitted systems such as Patriot interceptors, Aegis warships and combat aircraft against potential cruise-missile or short-range ballistic missiles fired from the Gulf. But the drill highlighted a particular vulnerability to cruise missiles lobbed from that region, U.S. Northern Command head Gen. Charles Jacoby indicated in congressional testimony last week.
He said the Pentagon has “some significant challenges” in countering these missiles, but is exploring “some opportunities to use existing systems more effectively to do that.” Many detailed results of the Oct. 11 drill conducted near Key West, Fla., remain classified, Jacoby said.
"I tried to get my doctor to give me Aderall and he said no, and I’m like ‘come on man,’" said the underage teenager as he passed by with a green container clearly containing Miller Lite
Police haven’t said how often they’ve use their powers.. Regardless, I’d assume if you have common sense or decency, you’ll see why this may be an issue, right? Just a bit of an issue..
I’m with him on this one—CNN overdoes it. But so does FOX NEWS, perhaps even more. They overdo their loud DINGGGGGGGG echo noise each time they begin a new hour.. they say “HAPPENING NOW!” as though the world is ending.
But it never does. Instead all of the networks simply rehash the same news over and over again, calling it ‘breaking’….
The only thing I can say about NBC is this: They could be guilty of it too.. lest we forget they interrupted a Congresswoman to go live to Justin Bieber’s arraignment.. Chuck Todd may have forgotten ..
But really..
The only time I know that ‘breaking news’ is REALLY BREAKING NEWS is when NBC sends off their chimes of death. THAT is when the world does end..

This is what happens when you get dressed in the dark! One of these shoes is not like the other.. The right one nice , the left one from an old pair I do work around the house in..
The good thing is nobody really noticed, I played it pretty well. Every time someone started to glanced through my feet, I would begin to either walk fast or perform some sort of a slow-motion Irish step dance routine, anything I had to do to throw off their gaze..
And anyway, my backup plan was always to say that I did it on purpose. You know, good luck or something like that..
This is how hot dogs are made.
My friend sent me the video.. I am not a hot dog eater, unless there’s that guilty moment during a hot summer barbecue when you pile ketchup and raw onions on one and devour it..
Nonetheless, for the good of the order, here’s the way we get our salty mushed up ‘trimmings’ from animals parts that are better left ground up and mushed than whole.
What surprised me more than anything, to be honest, was how clean and sanitary the whole process is.
Pig and chicken farms and cow slaughterhouses are much worse..
Hot dogs being made? Disgusting yes. But pretty darn clean,it would seem.
Until you see those weird chunks of chunky somethings in your tube of encased meat-like processed filth…
I just don’t get it..
The GRUDGE is getting a reboot—seriously?? DEADLINE reported it, so it’s probably true..
But remember this: The 2004 movie cost about $10 mil to make and grossed almost $200 mil worldwide that year—and they are going to do a reboot?
When they don’t have to?
Insane in the membrane.
After 20 years, police re-conclude that Kurt Cobain’s death was indeed a suicide.. Until I read this story, too, I had forgotten that Cobain was another member of the famed 27-club..
Billy Joel shakes off some dust and appears on the TONIGHT SHOW with Jimmy Fallon. And it made for pretty great music and good TV. I saw Billy Joel twice live.. They were shows to remember. My wife wasn’t a fan and grudgingly went to the Hershey PA show a few years ago. She instantly became a fan during the outdoor nightmare performance in beautiful brisk air.. (I still don’t particularly like Fallon’s brand of hosting, but this clip was good, although one thing that seems to be ok with Fallon is how he loves his guests as much as we do.. not much fake about him).
I was born into the Catholic guilt ..
I distinctly recall being a child and thinking I’d burn in hell because I accidentally ate a chicken finger on a Friday in lent. I think I even tearfully told a priest at my Catholic school mandated confession in my early grade school years.
Since then, it obvious became less and less of an important matter.
However, I finally found an article from a Catholic site that claims to explain WHY Catholics are told not to eat meat on Fridays.
Is it because of the fishing industry needing business? Popes not liking mutton? God declaring that fish rocks the casbah?
No. It’s all because—yet again—of sex.
Basically this: Hot blooded animals, AKA meat, can be equated to to hot sex. And for that reason you should steer clear. Seriously. Saint Thomas’ own words:
Fasting was instituted by the Church in order to bridle the concupiscences of the flesh, which regard pleasures of touch in connection with food and sex. Wherefore the Church forbade those who fast to partake of those foods which both afford most pleasure to the palate, and besides are a very great incentive to lust
Now I remember George Constanza equating sex and eating, in one episode even using food during his promiscuity.. But I myself have never had any sexual experience because of steak, chicken, or any ‘other white meat.’ A friend of mine once told me eating hot dogs was phallic.. But I don’t know.
Apparently St. Thomas never saw me eat Shrimp Scampi, which if made with Dry Sherry, becomes an gratifying sexual experience for me.
FISH. IT’S WHAT’S FOR DINNER.
President Obama imposed sanctions on Russia. In turn, Russia imposed its own, even saying John McCain could not go to Russia anymore—prompting the Arizona Senator to make a joke that he’ll have to cancel his Siberia vacation. But to prove that current events have less in common with common sense and more in common with professional wrestling, read this: Russian President Putin is mocking the sanctions, and is even going to open an account in a US sanctioned bank! He joked that he will not be introducing a ‘visa regime’ to Crimea..
But just keep your hands off Putin’s puppies, Barack…
I LOVE stories about weird frequencies—Clyde Lewis has done a series of great shows on odd transmissions over the year. And with tension in Russia and the United States again, it’s no doubt that UVB-76 is being listened to by people across the shortwave world.
Apparently the haunting transmissions went active again this week..
IF you’re into the numbers stations oddities, here’s a site that logs all of the best audio..
And more good reason: The weird oddities and history of UVB-76
