“I detest bad manners. If people are polite, I am. They shouldn’t try to get away with not being polite to me.”— Francis Albert Sinatra

May 14th, 2014, marked the 16th anniversary of the passing of Music Icon Francis Albert Sinatra at the age of 82. As an avid fan who grew up to the sounds and stories of Sinatra from my late Father, Alvin Berkwitt, who collected his albums, worked rooms that he played at the Fountainbleau Hotel on Miami Beach, and watched all of his movies, I didn’t learn to really appreciate what Frank did for the world. It would hit me on my 22nd year on Planet Earth back in 1990, while stationed in Italy, and it hit me like a ton of bricks.

CEO

By Susan Klatz Beal

An Internet frenzy broke out on Monday night, October 20th, when pictures of Renee Zellweger were released as she attended the Elle Women in Hollywood event in Beverly Hills. Heads turned as the 45 year old actress walked the red carpet. It’s been four years since she appeared in a movie, but that hasn’t stopped the flurry of speculation that Zellweger had major plastic surgery done.

After the unrelenting buzz on Twitter, Zellweger decided to speak out to People magazine, responding to the questions and criticisms about her new look. She replied to the comments, many of which were unfavorable by suggesting she wasn’t bothered by all the chatter. In an exclusive statement to People Magazine, she stated “I’m glad folks think I look different! I’m living a different, happy, more fulfilling life, and I’m thrilled that perhaps it shows.”

Did “The Walking Dead” cross a line this week?

Sunday’s episode saw cannibalism at its finest – with a victim left alive to lament his doom. It really looks like the producers plan to serve Bob Stookey up piece by piece, leaving him alive until the very end.

Not your typical Sunday night fare.

Dallas Cowboys RB and Thief Joseph Randle Busted for Shoplifting

Class B Misdemeanor is what you get when you rip off a pair of Polo brand underwear and a bottle of cologne. A thief is what you are when you walk into a department store and add items to your bag and then walk out the door without paying for what you stole. That’s pretty cut-and-dry.

You kind of have to wonder WTF is wrong with people. I mean Joseph Randle makes nearly $500K a year and still he has to stoop to ripping of less than $90 worth of crap. The problem is that you and I already have to pay inflated prices because thieves like Joseph Randle steal crap from stores. Let’s look at this closely.

MUFON Confirms Two UFO Sightings in WV – Breaking UFO News

CEO

By Bob Price

Ok, now things are starting to get personal. I’m a lifelong fan of the paranormal, and UFO’s are way up on the list. I’ve always wanted to see one myself, but alas I’ve not had the pleasure yet. Now there’s been not one, but two sightings right in my neck of the woods, and I missed out.

First reported by the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), the nation’s premier UFO reporting organization, on Oct. 12th ten coal miners working the night shift on an above ground job in Marmet, West Virginia, not too far away from me, looked up into the sky to see three massive, football-field sized triangular craft flying in a line about 500 above them. They described the objects as being outlined in white lights and as making absolutely no noise whatsoever. They watched for about four minutes as they moved slowly away over the treeline.

Variety makes life beautiful and interesting. Various people with differing looks, personalities, and viewpoints can be a good thing. I’ve always thought that the prettiest gardens were the ones with contrasting flowers. Different sizes, different shapes, different colors. When those flowers are planted with thought and attention to details, they not only showcase their individual beauty, but they also highlight the contrasting beauty of the other flowers.

Rick Perry: Texas Governor – A Shining Spotlight on Why Texas Failed the Ebola Test

October 19th, 2014

CEO

By David Stillwell

What an idiot. Rick Perry is a public disgrace and a prime example of why American Politics needs to change. His press conference about Ebola is a tragedy.

Minute 1:03: He asks President Obama to Fast Track the CDC acknowledgement of health “facilities that are better prepared to deal with diseases like Ebola.” The goal would be that such a statement would “let people know” that there was a qualified healthcare facility that could treat them if they were to get sick in Texas.

Roswell UFO Shocker – New Evidence Emerges

October 18th, 2014

CEO

Loading ...

By Bob Price

For 67 years, the city of Roswell, New Mexico has been the Mecca of UFO enthusiasts and researchers, earning for itself the nickname ‘Alien City’.

That’s because of the alleged crash of an extraterrestrial craft there 1947, at the very dawn of the modern UFO era, and the subsequent recovery of alien corpses. The U.S. military at first admitted in a press release that it had recovered wreckage from an alien spacecraft, then reversed itself and claimed that it was actually a top-secret spy balloon that had crashed, setting off decades of controversy and counterclaims that continue to this day. Accusations of a government cover-up, and the many witnesses and evidence that have been presented to support the existence of these alien bodies and the use of other-worldly technology in weapons and a secret space program, have sunk deep into the popular culture, spawning movies and TV shows, books, toys, T-shirts and songs.

Singer Charice Pempengco: Lesbian Shocker – Singer Comes Out

October 18th, 2014

CEO

By David Stillwell

Several years ago, I admit to being taken by the vocal prowess of a young Filipino girl, Charice Pempengco. She made the rounds from talk show to talk show spilling out this melodic golden voice that seemed angelic. I remember wondering what will become of her. She sang a duet with Celine Dion and stole the show. Note perfect and inflection perfect she covered hit after hit, but even then it hit me that she was simply mimicking what other vocalists have already produced. She had talent, but had not as of yet found her voice. Then just as suddenly as she had come, she disappeared from my radar.

Hunter Biden Cocaine Shocker: White House in Spotlight – World News

CEO

By David Stillwell

The privilege to serve one’s country is an honor that should never be taken lightly. Yet, when you come from privilege the idea of honor is not always as shiny as image. Take Hunter Biden, son of VP Joe Biden. His recent discharge from the Navy, for testing positive for cocaine, should be a national disgrace. Instead, the mid-forties Biden sloughs it off with a statement issued via his lawyer.

“It was the honor of my life to serve in the U.S. Navy, and I deeply regret and am embarrassed that my actions led to my administrative discharge. I respect the Navy’s decision. With the love and support of my family, I’m moving forward.”

Ebola: Is it Time To Panic Yet?

October 16th, 2014

CEO

By David Stillwell

So I have had to take a step back from my previous rant about Ebola and Texas Nurses. A couple of things have popped up today that I think need to be clarified. The first is that there is a gross difference between what the CDC defines “Airborne” and what the World Health Organization and Dr’s without Boarders define as “Airborne.” Sadly, from the nation with what should clearly be the world’s best healthcare the CDC definition is lacking. Even the degree by which those mysterious protocols have been breached were nowhere near as comprehensive as those from the World Health Organization. (Thank you to readers who brought this point to light)

Penelope Cruz Named Sexiest Woman Alive – Breaking Entertainment News

October 16th, 2014

CEO

By Anne Goetz

Esquire just released its November issue, gloriously covered in actress, Penelope Cruz. The new Sexiest Woman Alive wears a sleek black swimsuit – sort of – and sports the type of sulky pout that has, throughout history, driven small men to make big mistakes.

The Esquire interview with the Sexiest Woman Alive takes place in Madrid, interspersed with bulls and matadors and talk of foreign languages and mouths that turn down at the corner. Interviewer and interviewee dine together at a restaurant, and Chris Jones – a rather average-looking guy who scored the assignment to talk with the world’s sexiest woman – is feeling the heat. He notices everything about the enigmatic actress, from the way she flips her hair to the subtle shifting of her stance – he has to. Otherwise there will be little to write about this once-in-a-lifetime visit with the close-mouthed Cruz.
