Watching Horror Movies Reduces Risk of Obesity?

Watching Horror Movies Reduces Risk of Obesity? :

SNOPES checks in on the claim and finds SOME potential truth..
But I will saw it is mostly overplayed.

If you want to get thin and reduce your risk for obesity, eat less bread and move around more. Add in vegetables and healthy proteins.

That will go a lot better than horror movies.

That is of course unless you’re running away from Freddy Kreuger for exercise.

The great debate finale thought

I know this may not be the popular opinion.. But I really don’t think much changed last night. I think those who liked Hillary Clinton will like her more.. This who like Donald Trump will do the same..

In my humble thought, if you only watched the first half hour of the rumble in Long Island, you’d walk away thinking that Trump soared–Hillary did not seemed prepared for the kinder and gentler Donald, despite his sniffling.. If you watched the last half, you’d think that Hillary cleaned Donald’s clock. The middle hour was a murky tale of nasty one liners and lipstick on teeth..

The debate to end all debates actually was not as good as some may have hoped it would be. Camp Clinton is claiming the crown and the media is piling on with articles about the best quips back to Trump and Howard Dean publicly pondering if the Republican candidates snorted crack before the debate.. But the conservative media is piling on the same..

The partisan divide is only more evident. After the debate, a Drudge poll had Trump leading 90% to Hillary’s 10%.. I thought how ridiculous. When I saw the CNN poll showing about 70% thought Hillary won I thought it was equally ridiculous..

Everyone is playing to their own crowd. There is no unbiased reporting anymore, and when there is it’s comes with low ratings and little to no concern from the public.

Instead we picked our corners already. The only thing left to do now is cheer on the candidate we most want to see bloody the other.

This may be the most partisan election since 2000 … And God help us if a repeat of disputed chads happens this year.

He-Man fans! If you’re not playing ‘Tappers of...

He-Man fans! If you’re not playing ‘Tappers of Grayskull’ what’s wrong with you!to

And now for some unbiased journalism from CNN and NBC..

Controversial Vendor at Bloomsburg Fair Removed From Grounds

Controversial Vendor at Bloomsburg Fair Removed From Grounds :

Not the sort of attention that the Bloomsburg fair needed.. nonetheless, the world now knows.. There were NAZI flags being sold at the annual event.. The vendor not only was selling Nazi flags, but was removed from the grounds for being a REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER..

And as far as offense? He told WBRE that he did not care if people were offended. It was his right to sell them, he said.. Along with that, he mentioned he was at the fair for 45 years now..

The stage is set . The moment has arrived.. There are...

The stage is set .
The moment has arrived..
There are predictions than more than 100 million record setting people will watch the presidential debate between Hillary and Donald..

This is a moment for history.. Must see TV and a potential for a history changing moment ..

Stocks sag before U.S. presidential debate, oil jumps

Sooner or later God's gonna cut you dow

Arnold Palmer died on Sunday.
The golf legend passed away at the age of 87 near Pittsburgh. He was a legend… squeaky clean, famous, admired, even had a drink named after him. In the latter half of the 20th century, the Republican party even courted him to run for national office. He never did.

Another death occurred this weekend of a sports star–and it was certainly more shocking than an elderly golfer.. Florida Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez died in a very tragic boating incident.. The irony is there. Fernandez fled Cuba almost a decade ago on a speed boat.. He died Sunday off of South Beach in a violent boat crash at the age of 24.. Two others were killed in the accident…

There are really no similarites between Palmer and Fernandez, with the exception of sports and fame.. they both played what they loved and were monumentally good at it. Both were known far and wide..

The major difference: Palmer lived a full life while Fernandez died in the beginning part of his prime. The riches and glory and fame and fortune, for both, didn’t matter in the end.. for both, the angel of death circled the wagon and struck.. For both, we lost legends and are reminded that sooner or later God’s gonna cut you down..

The late Johnny Cash performed a good rendition of that God’s gonna cut you down song.. but in moments of majorly famous people dying, I get more reminded of his version of HURT by NIN.. Cash’s video of the song is poignant and haunting–there are scenes where his earthly treasures are highlighted in his mansion.. all the while he sings the words ‘And you could have it all, my empire of dirt.’

We don’t have much time on this planet.
For Palmer, he led a good life and make his mark.
For Fernandez, his youthful vigor was evident but now, in death, painful.

Make haste.. No waste..
Time is ending fast.
And you’ll one get get your taste,
of moments that will be your last.

This is an image from the 2016 Bloomsburg Fair in Bloomsburg PA ..

A friend first alerted to me about this here on Tumblr.. she is also from the area and noticed it was making the viral social rounds in the coal region on Facebook and Twitter.

The image was taken by someone who visited the fair and was moved enough to publish her photo of the Nazi flag (next to the make America great again Trump banner) on the truck.. The vendor is selling items that include derogotive bumper stickers and other apparrel of controversial appeal..

I have been attending the fair since childhood .. I have great memories. Yes, there are places that you’d conclude it’s Pennsyltucky. But this flag being showcased at the fair goes well beyond accepted social norms of the area..

I would hope now that the original Facebook posting with the picture has been shared thousands of times online, someone from the management of the local week long fair will get with this vendor and act accordingly..

One other aspect of this year’s fair that floored me a bit: The political nature of it all! Yes, the Bloomsburg fair has always been a home for Republicans and Democrats from the local area selling banners and yard signs. Presidential elections have been intense. But this year? I don’t think I recall a political year like this since after 9/11 .. There are gigantic–and I mean GIGANTIC–cutouts of Donald Trump (one was a 20 or so foot replica of him advertising a donut stand)… Cardboard cutouts of Hillary and Donald.. political shirts being sold on every corner.. and people wearing Alex Jones’ INFOWARS Hillary for prison shirts just about in every portion of the fair …

2016 is a political year.
But I would certainly say that politics and controversy aside, a Nazi flag at an American county fair is beyond tasteless and out of place.

Live! From New York! Monday night may feature the highest rated political event of all-time

Live! From New York! Monday night may feature the highest rated political event of all-time:

There will be 100 million Americans (and more people around the globe) who watch the Monday night debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.. It will be a record audience and shatter any previous for a political event. 

This will be history in the making .. 90 minutes without a break. Without a commercial…

Debate parties will be taking place across the nation .. I bet money that even bar rooms will be fixated for a bit on the debate, perhaps developing drinking games while watching..

And the result? Maybe a decision

I predict that most people watching will make an immediate decision of who they want to vote for within the first 15 minutes of the televised debate.. and I also think people will determine the candidate of their choice Monday as opposed to any other of the 40 or so days before the November election..

Just my two cents ..

China searching for aliens!

This is an image of the Washington mall shooter.. he has been arrested.. early reports indicated he was ‘Hispanic.’ He is not. Instead he is a Turkish born immigrant to the United States.. Officials are not releasing any statements that the shooting was connected to terrorism.. This from USA TODAY on the ‘zombie’ 

A day after five people were shot dead in a Burlington, Wash., mall, authorities arrested a man they say was behind the rampage.

The suspect, identified as 20-year-old Arcan Cetin of Oak Harbor, Wash., was taken into custody around 7 p.m. PT Saturday in Oak Harbor, roughly 29 miles southwest of Burlington.

Lt. Mike Hawley, Island County Sheriff’s Office, said deputies spotted the car near their office in Oak Harbor Saturday night, but no one was inside.

“I saw an individual walking northbound on the sidewalk and I instantly recognized that this is the person that I just viewed on my computer,” Hawley said.

“He said nothing,” Hawley added. “He was kind of zombie-like.”

This was reported on Drudge yesterday .. the debate coming Monday is set to be epic. Must see TV … And 90 minutes commercial free!? Break free!?  I don’t think 90% of the 100 million people watching the debate could go that long without a couch break to bathroom trip. We will see how two candidates near or exceeding the age of 70 will deal with this..
