Who listened to John B Wells on Friday May 25 2012?




There has been a ton of criticism for the hosting style of John B. Wells on Coast to Coast AM. But I like him. Friday, he took the show into a strange direction: Palmistry. Yes it’s a real thing. And Vernon Mahabal explained all about it. I am just curious to all: Did you listen, do you like him, can he save Coast to Coast from becoming Toast? Comment on this post below, I'd love to see feedback

The butler did it!

A SCANDAL IN ROME HEATS UP.. Vatican police have arrested Pope Benedict XVI's butler for allegedly leaking confidential documents and letters detailing claims of corruption..
Already the scandal has been dubbed Vatileaks .. Some documents involve the awarding of contracts in dubious ways.. some involve management of the Vatican bank.. The Pope said to be shocked. Maybe he is just afraid we'd be shocked too?
Revealed in the documents: Power struggles, corruption The Vatican had condemned the book as 'criminal' and the printing of the documents were a violation of the Pope's privacy ..

The Pope's privacy.. the hallowed holy halls aren't private enough? .. No, we need to thicken that frock even more..

HUGE QUAKE HITS ITALY


Actually it seems lately that the unstable crust that houses our feet is moving everywhere.. But today,  one of the worst quakes to hit northeast Italy in hundreds of years rattled the region around Bologna early Sunday.  
A civil defense official told the AP that it was the worst earthquake since the 1300s..
The quickening just got quicker..
This Reuters image showcases the amount of damage that took place in Italy—as a quake stronger than any in hundreds of years hit .. The official summary of the photo:  The old tower is damaged after an earthquake in Finale Emilia May 20, 2012. A strong earthquake rocked a large swathe of northern Italy early on Sunday, killing at least three people and causing serious damage to the area’s cultural heritage. The epicentre of the 6.0 magnitude quake, the strongest to hit Italy in three years, was in the plains near Modena in the Emilia-Romagna region of the Po River Valley. REUTERS/Paolo Bona    The magnitude was a 6.0.

Excellent point and video from the website DutchSinse: Have a plan and be ready

Some mighty large quakes recently.
It’s not a bad idea to just have some notion of what you’d do in case of a dire emergency.. one that say, hasn’t hit since the 1300s….. Italy..
