One creepy Gipper.
Here is a very interesting story from SALON.COM about Ronald Reagan and his constantly chipper mood.. According to the SALON article, Reagan’s optimism was shaped by Manly P. Hall, a famed occult thinker..
Couple that with tales of secret societies and we have quite the conspiracy theory. But before you scoff at it, SALON is reputable and TIME magazine was, too, when it published the cover story you’re seeing here.
Case of the Blue Mondays: Are you sad? Are you mad? You're not alone.. it's BLUE MONDAY and everyone is in the same depressing boat
If you didn’t already know it, people are calling today Blue Monday. Collectively, we are told, it’s the worst day of the year. Bills are coming in.. Christmas is over..lights coming down. Relationships over.. resolutions being broken.
Pretty sad. Depressing. Blue.
And if you’re like me, you’re probably confused. I remember Blue Monday being much later in January—I even searched Coal Speaker archives and found it to be the final Monday of the month. But alas, experts have changed the day!
Blue Monday,” which is said to be the most miserable day of the year, was originally calculated to be at the end of the month.
But researchers analyzed tweets over the past few years and found that Monday, January 6, 2014 is the day the most people feel sad and guilty.
Everything is instant these days.
Even depression.

An update on those horrors in the Central African Republic
Nearly a million flee violence in Central African Republic
FROM CNN:
The nearly 935,000 displaced people are hiding in bushes and seeking refuge with host families, and churches and schools have been turned in to makeshift shelters. More than half the population of the capital city of Bangui has been displaced, and nearly 60% of them are displaced children, according to the latest report from UNHCR, the United Nations’ refugee agency.
Since March, violence has gripped the Central African Republic, or CAR.
If this was happening anywhere except Africa, it would be front page news..
….but.. It’s in Africa.
The story is very difficult to read.
On Saturday night, I posted a link to a story regarding children being beheaded in the CAR on my personal Facebook page with the subtext: “While you were watching football.” I got one comment and that was it. Zippo. We need to stop ignoring Africa.. Especially when tiny innocent children are being hunted like dogs ..
Brain dead girl Jahi McMath released from California hospital
Jahi McMath, the 13-year-old girl on a ventilator who was declared brain dead by doctors in California after tonsil surgery, was released from a hospital.
This is just an emotional draining and horrific story. I cannot even imagine what he family of this beautiful girl, Jahi, is experiencing. There are so many things I think about when I read updates on this matter.
One thing I don’t like seeing over and over again: the media uses “brain dead” to describe Jahi in almost every headline. I understand why they would.. but can’t we give this 13-year-old girl more respect? Can’t we describe her as “loving Jahi” or “beautiful Jahi”? Oh, better yet, just “Jahi McMath!” Maybe that would work!
While I am not an expert on the brain, I am not quite sure if anyone is.. We are going into uncharted territories as we explore more about the brain, its functions, and what it does every single day when we wake up.I listened to a pretty interesting Coast to Coast AM show Saturday night about the science of reviving people in comas.
We can say brain dead until we are blue in the face.. sometimes miracles happen.
I think we know that Jahi’s family is praying for a miracle.. As should we all..
Pray to whatever or whoever you believe in.. if no beliefs are within you, simply send some good will and feelings their way. There’s a butterfly effect of good that can result..

The search for time travelers on Twitter begins!
Scientists are searching Twitter feeds from the past to see if there is any mention of news before it actually happened. So far, they have come up with zilch.
Where’s John Titor when you need him… And would Titor tweet?
