Here

Let's start the countdown to the month named after my ex-girlfriend by reporting on another girl with that name proving that I will not name any of my children after any month of the year, especially the one that is the fourth month!

Since when did Photobucket go mainstream?





Will Facebook out or sell out? - CNN.com



Yes I know its about Facebook, but Photobucket gets mentioned quite frequently in here. I remember when it was cool to have a Photobucket account, since it was only available for signup on certain days of the week during certain hours. No more; its gonna be one of the most popular sites in the world now.

Global warming is real

Yes, I said it. Books that my family came into possession of back in the 1980s that were published in the 1890s discuss the fact that temperatures were in fact on the rise back then. Mind you this was before automobiles, air conditioning, or even electricity in most parts of the world. Then in the 1950s, scientists got together and had a huge pow-wow then too according to Time magazine and the last paragraph really sticks out:



Dr. Ivan R. Tannehill, also of the Weather Bureau, is less skeptical. He
thinks the U.S. climate is really getting warmer and probably drier
too. His tentative explanation: a slow increase in radiation from the
sun.



O RLY? Also, anybody ever read about the Little Ice Age? Didn't think so.

I seriously need to start a new blog

With as much celeb news, political news, sports news, and news news as I publish, I clearly need to start a blog full of links stuff I find along with my commentary. The only reason I'm posting this is because I posted a comment that is sure to get buried. Below is the link, followed by my comments in the indent:



Brit Goes Bald: Inside the Salon! | Usmagazine.com

Clearly she has finally gone off the deep-end. I would too if I'd been in the spotlight constantly since I was 17, and have had every move of the last three or four years I made further scrutinized under a microscope. Plus, we've all done some soul-searching, right? Hers is being done in full view of the world



Seeing the video on X17, something has clearly happened to her. Maybe the death of Anna Nicole Smith pushed her towards it, or maybe Lindsay Lohan's attempts at rehab inspired her to try something. Or maybe she finally sat down, read the reports about herself, and had a moment of clarity and wants to start fresh. Anybody remember Lenny Kravitz talking about cutting his dreads off, saying he felt the energy being released as they came off? Maybe she's thinking the same thing



In any case, good luck with her finding herself.

My quick thoughts

First, the link to the latest story:



Autopsy scheduled for Anna Nicole Smith - CNN.com



I'm sorry, but I'm being very Ed Rooney about this. I want to see a body. The events of the past few months have just been too suspect to not put it past her to fake her death. I think this is why that guy Birkhead wants a DNA sample from the body, just to be 100% sure its her.



But for arguments' sake, let's say she really did die. That is very suspicious. I think it is definitely foul play in both her death and her son's death. And are we sure the 67-year-old stepson really died of natural causes now? Remember, the man has longevity in his family... his father was freakin' 90-something! It seems rather odd that all the people who could stand to inherit a gazillion dollars should an absolutely final court decision come down are now all dead. Well, all but one anyhow, but she couldn't touch it for another 17 years and 7 months. But whoever her father is could.



Which, again, leads us to the stalemate in the paternity case. Why stall at all? And why go to Florida and leave the infant behind in the Bahamas? What mother would leave their five-month-old a couple hundred miles behind? As long as that kid doesn't touch American soil, then no DNA sample can be taken from her, barring some extraordinary effort by the U.N. to get it, but I think they have bigger things on their plate.



Which brings me back to being Ed Rooney....
