The United States is hitting North Korea with a new set of economic sanctions after determining the country was behind last month’s computer hack at Sony.


I am still not buying this. I think the real story is that this is a former Sony employee on the inside

My first daily doodle of the year, and hopefully the first of many. I sort of slacked last year on this category…



This is a dramatic artistic representation of my New Year’s eve. I spent two hours at the Hershey casino, while it was a good time, I saw scenes, people, and mullets with the biggest business in the front I have ever witnessed.



Casinos are an eclectic group of people, all walks of life just thrust together in a daze. Oxygen tanks, mindlessness, and people swollen with frowns as their money goes around…



I should really write about this in more detail one day, but I certainly do not want to besmirch the character or nature of people who go to casinos for fun. After all, if you’re a fun person the fun will follow you. It seems too often though it casinos, there was no fun to begin with but the manufactured sounds of coins jingling and music playing.



That doesn’t take away from watching a really good band and counting down to New Year’s, but seeing the hundreds of people joining me at midnight was either a sight for sore eyes, or comedic relief to a terrible year in this world.

Leave it to my local fishwrapper to put the thought if death on your mind instead of hope on New Years.. How bizarre..

You’re so 1900 and late


A friend of mine mocking me for still watching the TWILIGHT ZONE marathon on SYFY instead of Netflixing it

FBI briefed on alternate Sony hack theory

And so much for the North Korea theory.. Try this: A laid off staff member..


FBI briefed on alternate Sony hack theory

For some, the best thing about New years is the Twilight Zone marathon on SYFY, a long standing tradition that goes back to when the network was even called SCI FI..


And now a complete listing of time and title of the shows during the upcoming marathon..

It’s been quite the year in news.

AirAsia QZ8501: Debris and dead bodies discovered
"My heart is filled with sadness for all the families involved in QZ 8501," AirAsia CEO Tony Fernandes tweeted Tuesday after Indonesian authorities said they’d found debris that was most likely from the missing plane. "On behalf of AirAsia my condolences to all. Words cannot express how sorry I am," Fernandes said.

The New Year’s Eve “15” numerals stand lit on the sidewalk after they were unloaded from a truck in Times Square in New York, December 16, 2014. The giant seven-foot-tall numerals will be installed atop One Times Square where they will be lit at midnight on New Year’s eve at the completion of the Times Square 2015 ball drop celebration.

There have been a lot of folks ‘down’ on New Years lately—people are taking the approach that staying in is better than going out. And I completely get that. The notion of sharing a night with amateurs who pronounce Filet Mignon as “fill it mig nun” isn’t too appealing. 


However, take a peek back in time .. MASHABLE put together a nifty set of photos that showcases new years in Times Square since the 1930s..


From shirts and ties, tuxedos and top hats, to the more modern attire at the affair, just being a part of Times Square in New York is cool. Sure there may be no place to urinate, except the street you’re standing.. and yes it’s cold and you get hungry.. and of course on TEE VEE you can see Ryan Seacrest up close, but he is wearing too much makeup anyway.


Being apart of New York on New Years is being a part of history, raising the glass to times gone and singing Auld Lang Syne to a new time, one that hopefully brings with it good moments and profits of the wallet and spirit.


Do what you want to on new years eve.. but do it because you want to, not because talking heads without brains tell you what to do.. 


Maybe your local watering hole.. a church.. a library. Do they have libraries in 2015?? Or maybe a casino.. I don’t know.  


Maybe watch the Twilight Zone marathon.


Heck, maybe Times Square.


Either way raise the cup of cheer and sing in a new year..

Michael Savage takes on new broadcast role: Life coach and ‘wise father’


Michael Savage is changing things .. The fiery talk show host who many hate is changing his style.. the conservative host said he will continue to talk about news when needed, but his 2015 format will be featuring a “wise father” attempt at giving advice and life coaching.. 


Even more, Savage said that he will also have “unprotected talk”—unscreen open lined, a-la-Art Bell..


Even more, Savage has coined the term ‘unprotected talk’ and copyrighted it for its protection.. 


It’s hard to think of Dr. Savage as Oprah.. Especially when you consider the call that got Savage fired from MSNBC..


But hey. It’s all about marketing.
