Shoe Thrown At Hillary During Vegas Speech
What happens in Vegas doesn’t just stay in Vegas.. Normally people only throw shows at bad comedians or Elvis acts.. This go around it was Hillary Clinton..
The video is actually a little scary to see …
I actually think she handled this with humor and class—it had to be frightening but it also was amazing to see her calm and cool reaction.
I know it’s lame to compare everything to something that may lead to political gain, but this is an incident that may help her..
BUT..it may also force her to ask the question: Do I really want to be president this much that I will now have shoes thrown at me?
It reminded me of the Bush shoe incident. He, too, dodged the shoes with the skill of a high school dodge ball player.
Maybe political science classes should start including the artful dodge as a course study..

‘Obsessed with sex’: French priest charged with rape, torture during exorcisms
We have been hearing a lot about exorcisms this year, priests who do them and people who need them have been in the news all across this world..
But we’re now hearing about a disgusting priest who seemingly only perform them in order to rape and torture people possessed by either some sort of an affliction, mental disease, for personal demon..

24 injured in knife attack at Franklin Regional High School
The final update today on this exhausting and depressing story..
24 now have been hurt.. No one is dead—no one is dead!
There are even selfies making news tonight as one survivor took a snapshot of himself in the aftermath in the hospital..
We also know this: The suspect, Alex Hribal, a 16-year-old sophomore, was taken into custody after being wrestled to the floor of a school hallway and disarmed by a security guard and a school administrator.. And he is being charged as an adult.
We are being told by some tonight that Hribal was ‘not well liked.’
More heroism.. more acts of bravery..
There are also stories of students helping other students pressing down on wounds to cut the bleeding, begging others who were stabbed to hold on to life..
Again.. bravery.
And finally.. A Wikipedia page has already been created..
Selfies and Wikipedia.. the modern age.

Comb me over and spit me out
I had a remarkably thought provoking conversation today with a very nice young girl who cut my hair—at 33 I can call people in their 20s nice and young now. Precious..
Nonetheless, we talked about empty malls and how to improve them.. we talked about customer service and how difficult it is these days to have it.
And finally.. I brought up a question that has been eating away at me for years: What does a stylist do when they are cutting a man’s hair—a man who uses the famed combover.
I was surprised with the interesting answer..
First off, she said, they really don’t teach how to perform a combover cut in school.. as matter of fact, she told me that the worst hair to cut is a man in my bracket.. someone who is slightly balding and yet has enough to not shave it.. someone who still is young enough to style it.. and someone who has short hair already. She said cutting a full-length haired woman is easier because there’s more to work with if you mess it …
So already a man is more difficult.
But the comb over? How can anything be harder..
She said the first thing she does is analyze the situation. If the comb over is applied to the hair, it means he wants to keep it. So she works around it, cutting some layers and trimming the side, but leaving the foot long piece in tact in order for the gent to comb his hair over his bald head again.
Even more: The man doesn’t say anything of the comb over. He allows the stylist to see it for herself.. to know it.. to love it, caress it, or whatever one would do with an awful comb over.
And finally, my friendly stylist told me that she always has the urge to cut the comb over altogether …of course there’d be awful repercussions should such a travesty occur to the already cursed man’s head.
Although he may look instantly better…But he’s damned to shame forever as long as he combs hair across his scalp..
And now some famous comb overs in history!
CONFESSIONS OF A FUNERAL DIRECTOR » Why You May Never Heal
Pop psychology has implied that our grief can one day “heal.” That one day, we’ll come to a place — after going through an extensive emotional process — where we’re back to normal, as if the brokenness we feel has been mended.
This is an amazing article about what happens to people after they lose someone.
I have been following http://www.calebwilde.com for a bit now.. it’s written by a real funeral director from Pennsylvania, his name is Caleb Wilde. His blof is addictive—and honest, brutally and painfully honest.
I suggest you give this linked article a read.. you may get hooked on his site like I did and follow him..

There is probably no statement because the story is just breaking and there is not even that much concrete information yet. It takes some effort to pull a press conference together. Stop being so fucking critical.
The facts you mention are worthwhile and correct. But I said what I said only because those facts never stopped people previously from making immediate statements..
So an update to the angry question and my calm response.. a full 10 hours have passed by without any significant response from anyone in national government. The Governor of Pennsylvania issued a statement, but crickets can still be heard from on high.
Of course Jay Carney did say that Barack and Michelle are “sending prayers.” To me that seems as meaningless as the people on Facebook who ‘send prayers’ in comments on a post..
If this was gun violence, a bigger response would have been heard.
I think it’s time to stop judging crime based on the weapon picked.. I think it’s time to figure out why the kids aren’t alright…
Let’s see what prescriptions our still unnamed sophomore from the Franklin Regional high school was taking..
'There's a kid with a knife,' teen says of school stabbings
CNN story also describes how some students react to the chaos, stabbings. One student said that she heard a commotion the longer, and thought it was a fight. And she saw blood spurting and stabber run..
It sounds like true Scenicpark, worse most likely than even harder movie that has plagued theaters.

News now that the Franklin regional high school stabber was a sophomore boy
Emergency management officials have also said the principal had an altercation of some sort the boy, that the stabbings took place in the classroom and hallway, and that the school resource officer was the one who eventually handcuffed the sophomore after he stabbed at least 20 people ages 14 through 60..

Some more information being reported on the Franklin Regional massacre
Rumors at this point.. no information is verified, but there are some interesting tweets and pieces of information now coming to light:
The suspect has been taken into custody..
The FBI is on the scene..
One report: Assistant Principal wrestled 2 knives away from suspect..
No metal detectors at HS; student had 2 knives..
MORE COMING
Why no statement from the White House or any officials on this Pittsburgh stabbing??
Silence is deafening so far..
I suspect if it was a school shooting, there’d be a stronger reaction from D.C.
Seven teenagers and an adult were taken to Forbes Regional Hospital, Dr. Chris Kauffman, the trauma director there, told CNN. The seven were stabbed in the chest, back and abdomen, he said. He characterized some of the injuries as life-threatening.
Some of the students were in the operating room, others undergoing CT scans, he said.
“These are quite serious injuries,” he said. “These are not superficial in nature.”
One hospital reported that it had a patient as old as 60.
