Michigan Boy’s Celebration was Interrupted by Snake in a Pool

On January 28, 2010, in Life/Culture, by admin

The family of a Michigan boy celebrating his 14th birthday at a Fairfield Inn said the party was interrupted by an 18-inch snake by an indoor pool.

Justin Moy said he was celebrating with six friends at the Livonia hotel when one of his friends approached the black or dark green snake, thinking it was a rubber fake, leading the reptile to hiss and slither into the pool, the Detroit Free Press reported Wednesday.

“I was like, ‘Oh my God,’” Justin recalled of the Saturday evening incident.

His father Will Moy said he was disappointed to discover hotel staff had already been informed of two previous snake sightings.

“If they knew there was a snake in there, they should have told the guests,” he said.

Hotel and corporate officials did not return calls for comments, the Free Press said.

Carol Austerberry, acting environmental health director for the Wayne County Health Department, said the pool was inspected and deemed safe the day before the birthday party. She said a snake was discovered at the hotel and set free outside, but the kind of snake and its origins remained unclear.

Tila Tequila’s Odd Farewell to late Heiress Casey Johnson

On January 11, 2010, in Celebrity, by admin

God, this woman is gross! Tila Tequila bids bizarre video farewell to heiress ‘wifey’ Casey Johnson

The “wifey” of doomed heiress Casey Johnson released a farewell video Thursday, telling her “I will always love you.”

“I miss you so much and that’s all that matters,” an emotional but dry-eyed Tila Tequila said.

“There’s so much chaos going on right now without you here. I just wish you were here because there’s so much chaos. None of that really matters to me because all I know is that your love is right here with me always.”

The reality TV star, sitting with her back to a piano, wrapped up her brief eulogy by stating, “I miss you and you’ll always be in my heart and I will always love you.”

Tequila did not elaborate on the “chaos.”

But she released the video – which appeared on RadarOnline.com – a day after Johnson’s celebrity gal pals retrieved her dogs from Tequila’s home in Los Angeles.

After reportedly giving Bijou Phillips and Nicky Hilton the green light to come get the pooches, Zoe and Elvis, Tequila refused to answer the door when they knocked – then called the cops.

It was only after the police, followed by herds of reporters, arrived that Tequila emerged and allowed Hilton and Phillips to take the dogs and Johnson’s effects.

“She’s milking this for all the attention she can get,” a Johnson family insider said Thursday.

Johnson is the daughter of Jets owner Woody Johnson. A 30-year-old heiress to the Johnson & Johnson fortune with a bad case of diabetes and a history of substance abuse, she was found dead by a maid at a Los Angeles home on Monday.

Investigators still haven’t pinned down what killed her but said there was no evidence of trauma – and that she may have been there for days. Tequila confirmed the death of “my Wifey Casey Johnson” on Twitter.

Johnson and the 28-year-old attention hog had been an item for about a month. Johnson outraged her parents by giving Tequila a 17-carat engagement ring in an online video – while both were clad in their bras and panties.

Since the heiress’ death, the Johnson family has shunned Tequila, and Johnson’s gal pals did not invite her to a hastily arranged memorial at Nicky Hilton’s house Tuesday night.

Tequila on Thursday also clarified – once again, on Twitter – that she wasn’t with her fiance on New Years Eve because she was “out of town” visiting her brother.

Last month, Tequila announced via a Tweet that she was “going to become a SURROGATE MOTHER for my brother and his Wife!!…That is my xmas present to them.”

Casey Johnson’s body is expected to be flown back east this week for burial after a private funeral limited to immediate family.

A family spokesman declined to give any further details.

Assassination Plot Against Hillary Clinton by Somali Born Crazy!

On January 4, 2010, in Political, by admin

Thank God this didn’t happen. Danish authorities have expanded the investigation into the attempted murder of an illustrator who drew a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed, with the suspect accused of having plotted a similar murder attempt against U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Kurt Westergaard, 74, knows that the cartoon he drew of the prophet with a bomb instead of a turban will always haunt him. He has had police protection ever since the cartoon row turned violent in 2006. Danish authorities had arrested three suspects who allegedly plotted to murder him.

This past Friday, the threat became real. Around 10 p.m., a 28-year-old Somali-born resident of Denmark wielding an ax broke into Westergaard’s house near Aarhus.

The cartoonist was able to flee into a “panic room” in his home. Police arriving at the scene shortly afterward shot the attacker in the leg and the hand. He has since been held in custody and charged with attempted murder.

Danish intelligence officials linked the man, who has not yet been identified, to an East African Islamist militia allied with al-Qaida. Police Monday searched three homes, two of which belong to the suspect’s relatives, in order to find out whether the man acted alone.

Danish newspaper Politiken said the man has also been suspected of trying to assassinate Hillary Clinton during her visit to Kenya this past summer. The man was apparently held by Kenyan authorities but released due to lack of evidence, the newspaper said. Danish authorities had since monitored him. However, they had no idea he was planning to kill Westergaard.

The Organization of the Islamic Conference condemned the attack on Westergaard’s life, saying it “runs totally against the teachings and values of Islam.”

Thanks UPI.

Westergaard’s drawing — showing the prophet wearing a turban shaped like a bomb with a lit fuse — was first published by Danish newspaper Jyllands Posten in 2005 as part of a collection of cartoons dealing with Islam.

Reprints of the cartoons in 2006 triggered violent protests all over the world that killed more than 50 people. They also sparked a boycott of Danish products and attacks on Danish institutions in Muslim countries.

Jesus found on a Banana Peel! YES!

On December 30, 2009, in Life/Culture, by admin

SITTING down for an after lunch snack turned into a brush with all things holy when Lisa Swinton saw the face of Jesus on her banana peel.

‘‘I was like ‘Oh my God! It’s Jesus on a banana!’’

‘‘I got it out of the fruit bowl and was about to peel it and eat it when I saw his face,’’ she told The Daily Telegraph.

The impact of seeing Christ pressed into the banana did not stop the 39-year-old of Haberfield from still eating the fruit and depositing the holy peel.

‘‘I put some photos up on Facebook – one of my friends said it looked like a monkey.’’

Ms Swinton is not a stranger to holy visions appearing in day to day household objects.

‘‘One of my friends said they saw the Holy Mother on their bathroom door and another saw an apparition of Mary on the mould of their shower floor,’’ she said.

The fateful placing of her banana bunch underneath other fruit, Ms Swinton believes was the cause of the sacred imprint.

‘‘It definitely wasn’t that way when I bought it from Leichhardt Woollies,’’ she said.

Thanks Daily Telegraph.

Kansas Man Lifts Car off 6 yr old Girl

On December 20, 2009, in Life/Culture, by admin

A Kansas mother is praising a neighbor as “Superman” after her 6-year-old daughter told her he somehow found the strength to lift a car off her. The girl escaped with minor injuries after she and neighbor Nick Harris said she was pinned under the vehicle.

“He really is Superman,” Kristen Hough, the child’s mother, said Friday of Harris, the man she said saved her daughter, Ashlyn.

Harris, 32, said he doesn’t know how he managed to lift the Mercury sedan off the child. The 5-foot-7, 185-pound Harris said he tried later that day to lift other cars and couldn’t.

“But somehow, adrenaline, hand of God, whatever you want to call it, I don’t know how I did it,” he said.

Harris was dropping off his 8-year-old daughter at school last week when he saw a driver backing her car out of a driveway and over the child, Harris said.

“I didn’t even think. I ran over there as fast as I could, grabbed the rear end of the car and lifted and pushed as hard as I could to get the tire off the child,” he said.

He realized the little girl was Ashlyn, a friend of his daughter’s. Harris carried the screaming first-grader to the sidewalk and was going to get his phone to call 911, but Ashlyn said she wanted him to stay with her.

He told people nearby to get the child’s mother, who lives a block away.

There were no witnesses to confirm what happened. But Ottawa police Lt. Adam Weingartner said, “I don’t have anything to dispute it.”

Hough said Ashlyn told her Harris lifted the car off her, Weingartner said.

Weingartner, the first officer at the scene, said Harris “was amped up pretty good. The first words out of his mouth were, ‘I lifted the car off the girl.’”

He said it appeared Ashlyn wasn’t pinned under the car long enough to be seriously hurt, Weingartner said.

Hough said her daughter was released from the hospital that afternoon with a concussion and some scrapes.

“She is my little walking miracle right now,” Hough said. “He truly is a superhero in the family’s eyes.”

Harris also visited Ashlyn later that day and was greeted with a big hug.

“I don’t consider myself a hero at all,” Harris said. “To me, it was payment enough when she gave me that huge hug and said, ‘Thanks, Superman.’”

Thanks My Way.

Cute Little Frog Found in some Lettuce!

On November 5, 2009, in Life/Culture, by admin

An East Texas woman says she made a gruesome find in her bag of greens she bought at Wal-Mart. The woman says she found a dead frog that literally made her sick to her stomach.

“I freaked out,” said Carla Hill, of Gilmer. “All I could see were eyes looking at me out of my greens.”

Hill was preparing her “Glory Foods” mustard greens for dinner Sunday, when she got a “froggy” surprise.

“I was putting the greens in the pot – I’m like, ‘Oh my God! I see eyes in my greens! Oh, it’s a frog!’ I just screamed. I was just hysterical. I hate frogs and I definitely don’t want them in my greens,” exclaimed Hill.

It turns out Hill’s froggy greens were purchased at the Longview Wal-Mart on Fourth Street.

Anna Taylor is a spokesperson for Wal-Mart who says Hill will be reimbursed for her purchase.

“Thank you for bringing this to our attention,” she said. ”We believe this is an isolated incident and are working directly with the customer to learn more.”

Taylor added that they are working with the manufactures to fix the problem.

On the bag, the Glory Mustard Greens states that they’re “ready to cook” and all they need is to be washed.

In the meantime, Hill says Glory Greens won’t be a part of her Sunday dinner anymore.

“I couldn’t even eat chicken last night,” said Hill. “It looked to much like that frog. I don’t know if I can eat chicken again. This might be the weight loss I’ve been asking for.”

As for Hill’s love for greens, she says next time, they’ll be home grown.

“I will never buy another bag of Glory Greens. The next greens I eat will be grown in my garden outside.”

We also contacted “Glory Foods”, which is the manufacturer of the Glory Mustard Greens Carla purchased. So far, they have not responded.

Gunman Decides to Pray with the Guy 1st. Then Robs Him

On October 21, 2009, in Life/Culture, by admin

Police said a gunman spent nearly 10 minutes on his knees praying with the clerk at an Indianapolis check cashing business before fleeing with her cell phone and $20 from the register. Security video from the Advance America branch clearly showed the man’s face during Monday’s stickup, and a 23-year-old man surrendered Tuesday on a preliminary charge of robbery.

The robbery took an unusual turn after the gunman came around the counter as the clerk told police she began crying and then talked about God. The man said he had a 2-year-old child to support and asked for prayers about overcoming his hardships.

Sgt. Kevin Wethington said the clerk’s actions “certainly didn’t hurt” prevent more troubles in the store on the city’s east side near Washington Square Mall.

Homeless Man Dared Train and got Killed for the 2nd Time

On September 8, 2009, in Life/Culture, by admin

Phillip Holman was killed 2nd time he challenged train

There’s no doubt about it, before Phillip Holman sat down on the railroad tracks Wednesday afternoon, he already knew the power of a train.

The homeless man was nearly killed by one two years ago near Triana Boulevard when he was drunk on brandy. His right arm was ripped off and his left leg was twisted so far behind his back, the paramedic who worked on him said he’d never seen a fracture so awful.

It was even worse Wednesday. Holman, 46, was killed by a locomotive on the tracks east of Meridian Street.

Police say he was just sitting there, slumped over, maybe drunk, maybe not. There wasn’t enough time for the Norfolk Southern train to stop once the engineers saw him.

Holman recuperated from his first train incident at the Downtown Rescue Mission. Doctors at Huntsville Hospital reattached his arm and straightened his leg the best they could, but he still suffered from those injuries two years later.

In an October 2007 interview, Holman said his wish was to get well enough to work again. He wanted to stop drinking. He wanted to repair his relationship with his family in Madison, “who I have let down more times than I can count.”

He said he had an epiphany: “If God lets you survive being run over by a train, you’d better do something real with your life.”

Holman did carpentry work, but he was also a talented artist. He could draw anything, but he didn’t know how to translate that into a livelihood or even into a life.

“He could get depressed when he drank,” said Downtown Rescue Mission chaplain Kevin Marsh.

Marsh was trying to help Holman qualify for disability compensation. He said he “walked him through” the initial process, but he was denied, “even though he had too much wrong with him to be able to work and take care of himself.”

“There were the injuries from the first time he was hit by a train,” Marsh said. “And there were some mental issues.”

An attorney was hired, but Marsh said the lawyer didn’t push the paperwork through in a timely way, “and Phillip was still waiting on a hearing.”

“There is a man dead, and I’m frustrated because there are cracks in the system,” Marsh said.

“Obviously, even if he had his disability check, he could have sat down in front of the train.

“Or maybe he wouldn’t have been as depressed and wouldn’t have done it.”

You Want to Live an Extra Ten Years?

On July 9, 2009, in Life/Culture, by admin

Here we go again playing God. Scientists say they have discovered a drug called rapamycin that could help people live up to 10 years longer.

It works by inhibiting a protein called TOR that plays a key role in cell growth. Rapamycin is widely used to stop transplant patients from rejecting their new organs.

Tests on 600-day-old mice — equivalent to 60-year-old humans — have shown it also extends life expectancy by up to 14 percent.

“Rapamycin may extend lifespan by postponing death from cancer, by retarding mechanisms of aging, or both,” said Dr. David Harrison, of the Jackson Laboratory in Maine, who carried out the research.

Ooh how 1950’s. Thanks Sun!

Ann Coulter on Palin’s Exit!

On July 5, 2009, in Celebrity, Political, by admin

Ann Coulter on why Palin quit:

I’m confused by all the confusion among the chattering classes about Palin. I thought her press conference explained it very clearly – though she couldn’t put it precisely this way without sounding vain, but it’s obvious.

Even though she’s just a state governor, she’s a HUGE national star who is both sought after and attacked as if she is already a president (a Bush, not an Obama). But she basically can’t participate because she’s tethered to the governor’s office up in Alaska. Consequently, she has to fight with one hand tied behind her back and she also can’t go around the country campaigning for candidates and principles she believes in – because she’s governor and would be accused of neglecting the state.

Meanwhile, the Lt. Gov. is a great guy, so she’s leaving the state in good hands and now she can go on to be an even bigger star.

It’s a weird Washington insider perspective to be perplexed by what she’s doing. Contrary to Mark Sanford’s e-mails to his mistress, no one was really impressed with him; 99.99999999999999999% of Americans didn’t know who he was. Who is more influential: Rush Limbaugh, Matt Drudge and Bill O’Reilly, or Tim Pawlenty, Bobby Jindal and Mark Sanford (before the fall)? As Palin said, God bless people who run for political office, but – and she didn’t say this part – she’s too big to be a lame-duck governor stuck dealing with fishing licenses in Anchorage right now.

She’ll be much bigger now and can play on the national stage without constantly setting off state ethics investigations by loons, parasites and liberals. None of this applied to McCain or Kerry – both of whom went back to the Senate – because their national campaigns diminished them. Palin’s national campaign made her a major star. As she said, she’s not retreating, she’s advancing in another direction.

Now 6 States That Legalize Gay Marriage. Thanks New Hampshire

On June 4, 2009, in Life/Culture, Political, by admin

6 and counting… New Hampshire on Wednesday became the sixth U.S. state to authorize gay marriage. Interesting.

New Hampshire’s Democratic-controlled House of Representatives endorsed gay marriage in a 198-176 vote, hours after the state Senate approved the legislation 14-10 along party lines, making the state the fourth this year to back gay marriage in the United States.

Governor John Lynch, a Democrat, signed the bill, which goes into effect on January 1. “Today, we are standing up for the liberties of same-sex couples by making clear that they will receive the same rights, responsibilities, and respect, under New Hampshire law,” Lynch said in a statement.

The law also recognizes out-of-state gay marriages and civil unions, which are legal in just a handful of U.S. states including New Hampshire. Same-sex couples who have civil unions in New Hampshire will automatically be married January 1, 2011.

Last month, the New Hampshire House rejected a similar bill. But Senate and House members met last week to approve new language giving clergy and religious institutions opposed to gay marriage greater protections, including the legal right to decline to marry same-sex couples.

Opponents, mostly religious conservatives, see gay marriage as a threat to the “traditional family” that is ordained by God and the foundation of civilization. Supporters often compare it to the path blazed by the civil rights movement.

Dairy Glut Hurts Upstate New York Farmers, Specifically Elmira!

On May 27, 2009, in Life/Culture, Political, by admin

I thought I would give some news on my hometown of Elmira, NY. This has to deal with milk. God forbid there is a worldwide glut of milk, it seems that no one has informed your friendly neighborhood grocer.

That’s according to NBC News, which is reporting that milk prices tumbled at the farm nine months ago, but prices at stores are basically holding steady. Why? Grocery store pricetags on milk and other dairy products have decreased only an average of 19 percent since last July, when prices peaked at $3.83 per gallon of milk.

That’s compared to $1.04 per gallon for farmers.

Analysts say middlemen are getting the profits, while farmers are being pushed to bankruptcy. Local lawmakers are pushing for a change.

State Senator George Winner of Elmira and his Republican colleagues in the New York State Senate offered an amendment to the 2009-2010 state budget plan being enacted by the governor that would have reauthorized an emergency assistance program for New York’s dairy farmers.

Good luck. I will report if anything changes!
