California Drought and the Super Storm Approaching

December 11th, 2014

CEO

By David Stillwell

This week in the news there has been much discussion about the super storm approaching the Northern Coast of California. The coastal areas are expected to receive upwards of eight inches of rain while inland valley regions are expecting three to five inches of rain. Winds are also expected to be fierce with gusts between 60-80 miles per hour. If the wind speed is sustained, this will put this storm on par with a level 1 hurricane.

With the state in extreme drought conditions, the water is desperately needed. The problem is that dry land mixed with massive amounts of rain are likely to produce landslides. The environmental damage from this storm could be severe.

In an article in TIME by Mark Thompson, the details of the USS Ponce activities in the Persian Gulf emerge. In what is a first for the Navy and the US Military, an energy based weapon was successfully tested and in the process the face of war and national defence changed.

Growing up, laser weapons were a thing of comic books, and special effects from movies such as Star Wars. Today, the US Navy has stepped forward where others have not traveled and unleashed a new weapon that may make fighter jets obsolete.

Although rumors have been flying and and the gossip has been hopeful for over a month in celebrity watching circles, it turns out that former Denver Broncos standout Tim Tebow and 19 Kids and Counting reality star Jana Duggar are not, and it’s pretty much official, not a hot item.

According to a publicity rep for Tebow, and as reported in Us Weekly, the two haven’t had much up-close and personal interaction. As a matter of fact, “Tim and Jana Duggar have never even met” according to the anonymous rep.

Oops! The Skeletons have Fallen Out of Elizabeth Lauten’s Closet

December 5th, 2014

CEO

By Debbie Edwards

He who points a finger at another has four pointing back at himself. Fingers are bad enough, but imagine dealing with the entire body. Once those skeletons fall out of the proverbial closet, the bones are tough to gather, and tougher to put back.

Former GOP Staffer Elizabeth Lauten can attest to this first hand. Certainly, everyone has read her tweet directed towards the Obama girls that was spurred on by what seemed to her as their lack of interest during the White House’s annual turkey pardoning. She chastised the girls, saying that should “show a little class and respect the part that (they) play” as First Daughters. She further chided them to dress like they deserve respect, not as if they were at a sports bar.
Speaking of sports bars……..

#Ferguson – When the Medicine Kills the Patient Rather than Cures the Disease

November 30th, 2014

CEO

By David Stillwell

The death of Michael Brown seems to have become a focal point for many things, including the civil unrest. Does this have to be about blacks vs. whites? No, not really. Despite the premise that Michael’s death was racially motivated there seems to be more there about which people are not willing to talk.

What about how we live as people? Each a member of the family, that family a member of the community. It stands to reason then that how each of us lives our lives impacts the community in which we live. If you want to live in a better community, become better citizens. Yeah, easier said than done, but the premise is still there.

Christopher Roney receives a date for his execution following 18 years on death row. The Iconic Rapper was tried and convicted of murdering a police officer in 1996 during a bank robbery gone wrong. Despite his musical success with Atlanta Records and the release of multiple albums, the rapper lost it all when he shot Officer Lauretha Vaird. He is about to lose even more. It is a sad world when those who have the greatest potential forget they were once human too. It is difficult to say if his death brings closure to Vaird’s family. It may serve as a reminder to others that status and fame will not keep you safe. That is a lesson that a lot of people need to remember.

Rumors have been rampant for weeks that Perry was on the short list to be the main attraction, but the NFL didn’t make the announcement until late Sunday evening.

First we had LeGarrette Blount cut by Pittsburgh last week for leaving the game early. This is not even a full year job, and he cannot stay at the duty desk until his shift is over? Then we have Dominic Raiola from the Lions, who admits to not just unsportsmanlike conduct, but to conduct that could have ended the career of another player. What his penalty is to be is not yet known, but it should be cut from the roster. Then we have Marshawn Lynch, who will likely be fired from the team in what can only be described as childish behavior. After being punished for avoiding the media, he sits down and provides short, one-word answers. Aren’t there other players who want to play?

Facebook SCANDAL: Mark McDaniel Kicked Off Facebook

You might know Mark McDaniel better as the child molester dating Mama June. The king of social media ousted McDaniel because they have a rule about not allowing child molesters to use their site. Probably a good rule considering the number of children and teens who access Facebook. It is nice to know that someone in this relationship has a clear brain with which to think. It is clear that Mama June is only thinking about her VW sized vagina, and it is unclear what Mark McDaniels.

Mike Tyson’s Undisputed Truth – Must See Show

Article and photo by Debbie Edwards

Boxing, Bitches, & Lawsuits…. what show on this planet would claim such a title? Actually, no show that I’ve ever attended has, but Mike Tyson in his one-man, off Broadway show, entitled “Mike Tyson’s Undisputed Truth”, encompasses those three subjects and much more. Most of us know Mike Tyson as the hard-hitting, controversial heavyweight who was the youngest to win the heavyweight championship of the world at the age of 20 years and four months old. Some of us know that he still holds the record for the quickest knockout in an amateur bout, accomplishing this feat in a mere 8 seconds. But very few of us know what makes the phenomena of Mike Tyson tick, what motivates him, what moves him, what touches his inner soul.

As reported through the AP, the 80-year-old Charles Manson was issued a wedding license to wed 26-year-old Afton Elaine Burton. Further, Burton has spent the last nine years working to exonerate Mason. For the moment, put aside the fact that Charles Mason is in prison because of his involvement is one the most horrific mass murders in American history. That’s right, step back from the obvious for a few moments.
