The world takes notice to KIM’s new haircut: It defies gravity and is the new rage of social networking.. Of course for all of the wrong reasons..No one ever said dictators had style..
It is time to send Dennis Rodman back to North Korea to solve this world crisis..
Just realized that I had a whole slew of new followers this week, not sure if it was the people on the FAMILY FEUD who creepily look like me or my annoying new SAMSUNG phone inspired images of my food with sloppy writing on top of it.
Either way, major hugs for all the new folks who are trying to figure out what this bizarre little site called COAL SPEAKER is all about.
Free hugs.
Not from me. But from that guy.
The new documents show that Israel has been doing more than simply treating wounded Syrian civilians in hospitals.
And add THIS to that story:
Truth bomb from Wesley Clark: He said that ISIS was created from ‘friend and allies’.. The source of this news could be considered a biased Russian reporting service. So in that case, let’s go straight to the video where CLARK himself is quoted accurately by Russian media..
Proof here:
Also, one admits she knew they’d be caught.
And they were..
Notice that dry area on the radar over Pennsylvania?
Interesting news has come.. the winter storm warning over many parts of the state—where the dry portion is—has been called off and downgraded to an advisory. It’s still snowing. But lightly.. as a matter of fact, so light that those fears of 9-12 inch totals are extremely wrong not in the light of the new news..
There are some meteorological reasons for all of this.
But I’m not going to go there.. instead I will concentrate on my own theory: Hootie Hoo he been a success yet again..
The day was created years ago and has been ceremoniously done for over two decades.. People go outside and scream HOOTIE HOO at the sky.. it’s an attempt to get rid of winter, and scare it away..
This year, judging from the radar, perhaps it worked..
I think maybe even more: This could be a monumental example of collective consciousness at its best, with people banding together in the same thought for the betterment of people as a whole.
Either way, the locations where HOOTIE HOO sounded loudest are also the driest today during this dud of a winter storm.
Thanks everyone..
It worked.
Incidentally, the building did not pancake down on top of itself..
Just saying.
Clown from amusement park found in sex offender’s house.. And people wonder why some hate clowns so much..
This is a rather bizarre story from MASHABLE about a 22-year-old woman who is morphing her face to look like different stars.. Sadly, I know a girl that looks just like this version she’s doing of Mr. Bean.
The internet can bring out such strangeness, don’t you think?
Welcome to Hollywood.. where apparently even the Oscar statue snorts cocaine..
It is actually a message of art being sent by the artist PLASTIC JESUS..
More from the LA TIMES:
"The piece is intended to draw attention to Hollywood’s hidden problem of drug addiction that affects hundreds of people in the showbiz industry and is largely ignored until the death of a high profile A list celebrity," Stern said in a statement on Plastic Jesus’ behalf to LAist.
In case anyone was watching the Family Feud around 2am last night, that was NOT me participating …
However, as people who know me could attest, the man has a strikingly similar appearance and had mannerisms that seemed the same.
I posed this on Facebook and actually came to learn that one of my friends and her dad actually is constantly reminded of me when they watch Jonathon Karl on CNN..
I guess Karl is a tad better than the nervous guy on Family Feud.
Maybe.
Here is the sight from this weekend’s weather forecast.. anything pink and purple are winter weather somethings. And there are lots of them, storms are a plenty..
The season is almost ready to change. I hear song birds in the morning now and the noon sun—when it is out—is strong.. But until the spring blossoms bloom, it’s going to be considerably cold and snowy. That continues, obviously, this weekend.
I think the second week of March will be a transition..
Let’s see how good I do with that forecast..
Call me a bit of a paranoid conspiracy theorist, but when I see articles critical of people who are attempting to get a little healthier and eat better, all I can think of is some sugar-selling CEO from ‘Name your GMO company’ giving talking points to clueless reporters just trying to get a clickbait article to go viral.
Now excuse me while I finish my sauteed kale over baked chicken..
Last night, I dropped a link on this site and espoused some of my beliefs that the current generation growing up will drop out of the TV scene much prior to the next one. . the link on the ‘cord cutting’ actually came from TIME magazine.. However, a reader comment on the situation offered a very different and good perspective on the potential other side of the coin.. Since it was buried at the bottom of the site and few may have seen it, I’d like to share it in full, as it offers up a counter argument to the believe that Millennials are ready to abandon their TV sets altogether:
It’s important to put this in perspective. The industry does a really good job of hyping reports and headlines based on a single, biased view. If we were to describe “millenials” as the age group of 18-34 from the inception of cable TV in the early 80s, things really don’t look that different. People don’t make primary choices about TV services until they have their own homes. The median age of first-time home buyers has gone up considerably just in the last 10 years alone. Until you are making a primary decision about TV service (not living with mom and dad, in a dorm or with several roommates), you are just making do (i.e., watching video online). SNL is not irrelevant. People are just choosing to record it and watch it later, not live. Nielsen, the author of this report, does not have the capacity to measure this.
Since the inception of the VCR, live TV viewing has declined. When operators introduced DVRs into consumer homes, live TV viewing declined even more. A couple of years ago, DVR penetration among pay-TV subscribers was only about 40%. Throughout 2013 and 2014, due to much lower manufacturing costs and a hefty drop in the global price of chip sets and memory, operators have been able to put a lot more DVR set-top boxes in homes at a much lower price to subscribers. So what happens? Again, live TV viewing declines even more. This is not to say that people are watching less TV, they are just watching it on demand from their DVR. The popularity of broadcast TV programming has never been higher. People are just not watching it “live”.
And that all makes sense.
It does not shake my perspective though that SNL is irrelevant..I base that a bit simply on the humor or lack thereof that often comes from the show. But there may be other shows that are quite relevant, perhaps being recorded later.. Which changes the game altogether for Neilson and advertisers.
No matter how you look at it, the pop culture world has changed.
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A large Los Angeles teaching hospital has told scores of patients they may have been exposed to a drug-resistant bacterial superbug during endoscopy procedures that infected seven patients and contributed to two deaths
It seems high time for a new fear.. Ebola never quite hit home. Measles didn’t much more to shake the nation to the core.. and the Polar Vortex was replaced with a ‘Siberian Express’ to remind us of how awful weather is and how it’s our enemy. Plus don’t think for a second that news directors aren’t getting a kick out of a slight percentage of Americans believing that Vladimir Putin is somehow creating polar surges into the United States to destroy our Western Civilization..
But all mocking aside, perhaps the new fear of the SUPERBUG is warranted?
More from the REUTERS report:
The possible exposures occurred at the UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center between Oct. 3 and Jan. 28 during procedures in which a specialized endoscope is inserted down the throat to diagnose and treat pancreatic and bile duct diseases.
One thing to note: Many of those who may be infected are in the predicament after a ‘routine’ procedure. And now there is nothing routine about the possibility that they have a life-altering bacteria that may kill up to half of the people who get it..
And while we are not calling this one Captain Tripps just yet, public statements being made now will either be looked on as prudent caution or blatant disguises sometime soon in the future..
"It’s important to emphasize: This particular outbreak of CRE is not a threat to the health of the public in Los Angeles County," said Benjamin Schwartz, deputy chief of the acute communicable disease control program at the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
Since the 80s the entire program was turned to waste. Nothing improved even with newer guidelines. The sugar industry had too much say… sick examples are presented here when the Daily Mail compares the US school lunches to cash strapped nation…
This image is sure to stir up controversy (and sell some fish wrappers).. the NEW YORK POST pictures President Obama with a blindfold around his head as a message that he is ignoring Islamic terror threats…
