My apologies for stealing the title from the late Sandy Denny and her fabulous song Who Knows Where The Time Goes, but it seemed fitting.
Who does know where the wind goes? Every TV station in the country has a Weatherman, likeliest the most unpopular star of the station. Most are about as exciting as a […]

I see the anti Asian mafia have a new scalp on their belts, with the conviction of an Indian born student for a “hate crime” and invasion of privacy.
But lost in the homophobia meme of the politically correct is a question: Do students have the right to privacy in one dorm’s room? Because in this […]

It is written in oh so politically correct language, but it should set off alarm bells. A US government appointed ethicist at the National Institutes of Health just wrote an article in the Journal of Medical ethics (which can be read at the British Medical Journal website)  proposing the handicapped should be killed for organ […]

It would appear that presidential wannabe Mitt Romney is fighting a similar battle as Rick Santorum on the internet search giants Google and Bing.
Santorum’s anti gay comments led to the web site SpreadingSantorum.com being created. To say the least the site is not very flattering. To make matters worse a Google search on ‘Santorum’ places […]

In the introductory article I made mention of the well known Russian psychic Nina Kulagina. There is enough black and white film evidence that still survives today that begs the question, did she really have the powers to remotely control objects?
Do photographs and video prove facts, or not?
That is a very deep question. A good […]

A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by author p.m.terrell, asking if I’d like to take a peek at the galley for her upcoming book Vicki’s Key. Having worked with Patricia in the past on some of her other books I readily said yes. She is an accomplished author of thought provoking novels.
Vicki’s Key […]

Yum! Mushrooms. Who doesn’t like them (if cooked properly, even kids will eat them).
The problem? Well, the Epicurious blog has an article on the joys of mushroom picking.
It seems that a lot of yuppies in the Pacific Northwest have decided that the economic downswing is a good reason to take up this hobby.
Professional foragers […]

The latest “Western” movie from Hollywood, about aliens and starring a petulant British actor, was a bomb, and that led many “experts” to again predict the demise of the Western as a film genre. Of course, the real reason for the problem is the nihilism of Hollywood, not the lack of stories.
So could I suggest […]

It was a cute photo, so I place it on my blog. a great photo of a happy young teenager holding a water sprayer, somewhat wet herself, and smiling happily.
There is enough bad news in the world, so I like to post stuff that reminds us that not all of life is war and […]

 The man was well until his wife baked him a “healthy recipe” from the NYTimes “Healthy recipe section: Fava bean and artichoke stew.
He soon became pale and jaundiced, and it took awhile for the ER doc to figure out why the man was sick. He had an acute hemolytic crisis, where his red blood cells […]

I spend a good deal of time combing through press releases, most are boring. Lets face it who cares that Joe Blow has been promoted to chief engineer of the Freds Widget Company? I am sure that Joe likes the attention, and that he richly deserves the promotion. The chances are that Freds make the […]

The “meme” in much of the press is blaming right wing political talk for the tragedy in Tucson. Well, this is not new: I remember a similar paranoia against the right after JFK was killed in Dallas, never mind that his killer was a communist who had earlier tried to kill General Walker, a real […]

You have survived the insanity of Christmas and New Year’s, you are back to work, and likely still nursing a hangover from over indulgence. January for many is a Blah month. Worse than that, it is a month of regret. Regret over the credit card bill that you know is headed to a mail box […]

I was joined by my good friends the writing and research team of Mannie Barling and Ashley F. Brooks for another 90 minutes of radio madness and mayhem. I never fail to be amazed at what some people do.
This week we were joined by a very special guest Jose Escamilla. There is a TV ad […]

Peace on Earth, Goodwill to men…except in the headlines.
You see headlines about NATO troops killed in Afghanistan. Yes, that nasty war is still going on. But the headlines don’t put it into perspective: the Taliban wants to stop education of girls, and any western type education for anyone. But the headlines don’t talk about positive […]

Yesterday saw the launch of our latest radio adventure, a look at some of the amazing and crazy things people do intentionally or unintentionally seeking their 15 minutes of fame. Without really trying, many have become the wackiest criminals of the year.

Picayune Mississippi, to some is just a sleepy retirement community. It is a community of some 20,000 souls, and boasts no amenities for those retired or not! There are no world class Golf Courses, no up scale restaurants, and only a couple of motels. Residents have the choice of Winn Dixie or Clayborne Hills for […]

I have always enjoyed reading about people doing strange things. Holding up a bank and writing the demand on the back of your personalized deposit slip, or some of the great DUI stories, try this one. If you want watered down news sponsored by Big Food, Big Pharma, or Big Media tune into the network […]

Sometimes a story is so local it jumps up and bites you. Such is the case with the stash of potentially explosive materials found in an apartment building in the town where I live. Say hey for Delmar, New York. It’s a mighty nice place. Delmar is a suburb of Albany. The kind of […]

There is no doubt in my mind that Jan and I lead a strange existence. We tumble out of bed when we want to. We do not own an alarm clock. Generally though, one of us is up and around by 6am. My theory is to tumble out of bed, switch the coffee maker on, […]
