NASA is testing a flying saucer like craft device for a Mars landing.. read that again: WE are going to land a flying saucer on Mars. Seriously.. is this cranky comedy or something? We are going to be the UFOs in a UFO flying over the planet Mars.. I don’t know if it’s irony or just a bitter joke to all of the UFO enthusiasts who believe that circular craft has been flying over the planet Earth for decades..
After all these years and the mighty western invasion, the liberated Iraq is completely disintegrating again.. Anarchy is the reigning champion now in the ‘free’ nation and most of the war gains are lost.
Perhaps most delicate issues are left classified. I could only imagine the Nightmare on Pennsylvania Avenue now as the Obama Administration has to grapple with what to do—should they let it spiral more or try something militarily? The President wanted to be the man who ended two wars.
But now Gulf War II could become Gulf War III.. is the nation ready to fulfill a commitment it made?
Is the neocon crowd set to clean up their mess? Are the Freedom Fries eaters prepared to sacrifice? It’s been ten years + since TIME magazine asked if we want this war.
We did then, we thought..We even burned DIXIE CHICKS albums to prove it.. after it was over we hated it, and ourselves. But taking a long look in the mirror is not enough after you destroy a nation.
Rebuilding is one thing.. but securing something we broke is another. And this place is broken—and apparently breaking further by the day and by the hour..
The story of Casey Kasem has been fascinating and mostly sad recently.. While now we know where he is, the chances of the world losing this icon is greater. Media reports now indicate that the star is near death … but it’s at the hands of his own family. Some of that have opted to stop giving Kasem food, water, and medication through his feeding tube. According to the family, Kasem had a wish prior in writing that he did not want to live under the conditions he is in now.. So with that, Kasem’s demise is coming. A life will be over.. but his voice will live on in infamy. Each and every time you watch SCOOBY DOO.
Device EXPLODES at nuke plant in Nogales nuclear plant in Arizona!
FBI and ATF called in.. the bomb was a ‘makeshift’ device..
And little to almost no national news attention is being given to this story? I would say it is a big deal.. though it’s not labeled as domestic terrorism yet..
I a bet a LOT of men are suddenly telling their spouses and significant others, “see I told you so!”
And then there was Iraq, where all of the gains made have now been lost.. the nation is falling apart. What will we do now?
The sun has suddenly lit up with life—and it’s going to affect the planet earth.. Friday the 13th could feature a minor geomagnetic storm on the planet after a strong flare bust off of the sun.
There has been three in the past few days..
Also a bit eerie to consider: The planet is set to see a full moon on Friday the 13th, as well..
Cell phone service may be disrupted..
As the CME streams in..
Too far? A woman who worked for a NASA-funded project was in a British documentary called THE GIRL WHO TALKED TO DOLPHINS. During the documentary, she also admitted to having sex with dolphins.. She said she was not uncomfortable.. as long as it was ‘not rough’ .. More here.
Once you go aquatic… when the tank is rockin’.. They call it flipper.
Anheuser-Busch and Miller Coors: Tell Us What’s In Your Beer!
A worthwhile petition from the FOOD BABE
Jim Carrey on doing what you love because you may very well fail at things you don’t love.
Not an ONION article or other of satire, but certainly one with satiric potential. The UK METRO, in all its gossipy nature, reports this: The 49-year-old Frederick Davis was in a library in Toronto Canada when he was recognized by staff as the man who was seen masturbating in the library with one hand and grasping a cucumber in his other..
Is that a Spiderman on your building or are you just happy to see me? Apparently, some people in South Korea, are very erect in anger over a SPIDERMAN sculpture appearing on a building.
You don’t have to look close to see that a well-endowed SPIDEY must have taken too many of those drugs that television commercials show men taking before bathing with women in a flower garden.
That’s right.. he has an erection, presumably lasting more than four hours.. The artist has been pressured to remove the statue.
While some may laugh at the image and deem it to be less than offensive, consider this fact: The statue was directly above a playground.
Obviously not suitable for all ages—or really any age in my opinion.
The sun unleashed two X-class solar flares in the span of one hour and 10 minutes Tuesday morning, and there is a good chance that more may be coming soon.
As always, SPACEWEATHER.COM is a good source of information on whatever happens.. as is SOLARHAM.NET ..
20 years ago this month, the entire nation was fixated on a slow motion drama that played out on LA freeways.. OJ Simpson was evading the law in a white bronco .. eventually police arrested him, and the rest of the story played out, ending with an innocent verdict for the murder of his wife and her friend..
It was pre internet but it was huge. All TV networks joined in the live footage as it played out. CNN is offering up a few things of surprising note about the OJ ‘chase’..
I remember a few things.. I was 14 years old.. I was eating a large DEVITO’S Italian Eatery Sicilian pizza (sadly the Ashland PA restaurant has since closed) and I was watching like the rest of America to the drama as it played out.. Not being much of a sports enthusiast at that age, I just recall the sadness knowing that my favorite goofy cop from the NAKED GUN movies may have been a murderer..
Now all these years later.. CNN is beginning a good year’s worth of ‘20 years later’ coverage of this event.
I just remember how much the nation was gripped by this story.. Television sets were brought into workplaces and schools during the trial, families were torn apart in anger over whether he was guilty.. and race became an issue when TIME magazine chose to darken OJ’s face as opposed to the NEWSWEEK real version.
Back when print mattered.
Back before the net.
And before Marcia Clark’s facelift.
Those were the days..
Officials are working to improve conditions at a makeshift holding center in southern Arizona where immigration authorities are housing hundreds of unaccompanied migrant minors.
This is a huge story taking place—and most of the media is paying little to no attention to it..
Several places in the South are now locations where makeshift holding centers are being built to house illegal immigrants pouring into the United States—children being a big number among them.. And now obviously, this story from CBS in Houston is relaying the sicknesses being suffered by children eating the food being given to them by the government..
There have now been three military bases tapped to house illegal immigrants streaming into the United States.. Officials are claiming that the children are being cared for despite abuse allegations being made..
A recent ‘tidal wave’ of children have been pouring into the US from largely central American countries—media reports indicate that many kids are coming in to be with parents already here..
The news on this matter should be reported by media affiliates. It seems to be the beginning of a humanitarian issue within the borders of the United States..
Here is some interesting concept art showing you what the JOKER from 1989 could have looked like.. Some of it is downright spooky.
