Are toy makers out of ideas?
Or have parents simply refused to grow up, instead trying to force toys of their childhood on their own 21st century babies? Not sure culturally the reason, but going retro is cool this holiday season..

Who needs Thanksgiving. That's so 20th century. This year, stores were open before Thanksgiving was over.. the gravy was still coagulating when door buster deals went up for grabs. People formed lines for gadgets and gizmos, and most likely left dirty plates and turkey bones in the sink.. This is how you shop in the modern era. There may be a return policy on the item, but will there ever be a return to sanity again? Nah! There's just too much to buy and too little time to labor our mind with such questions..

Hope you gobbled without a hobble and wobble
Shopping will begin.
Don't lose yourself,
Or the spirit within.

I would say this is the best meal of the year..Seriously great food, great family, great fun.. Great thanks.
Sure, we have this silly notion that Thanksgiving is about Pilgrims and Natives sitting at a table enjoying a meal. That may have happened but it wasn’t until Abraham Lincoln that this whole thing even became a national holiday, and that was after a big social campaign to have him do it during the Civil War. And yes,some even think there is a much darker and more sordid history of Thanksgiving than one portrayed in history books. We do know there is a pretty rough section of history large not told to young aspiring students in school. America’s government often (and still often does) treated Native Americans with contempt.. White landowners didn’t have their land until a trail of tears forced original settlers off of it. That is the dark history of this nation. One that cannot be ignored.
But we really cannot change much of that now. can we?
At this point we can only make sure the turkey is cooked and the filling isn’t raw. I don’t mind lumpy potatoes.
History is something open for debate often..
So all debate aside, all untold history of sketchy pilgrim and Native American dinners ignored, why is it really that Americans eat like gluttons and side watching large men in stretch pants knock into each other?? Well, it’s all because of Sarah Hale. She wrote the letter than saved Thanksgiving and convinced Honest Abe to name it a day. There must have been a big brain in that large forehead, Sarah.
Without it, today would just be Thursday and most Americans would be stuck in the weekly grind .. Instead now we will gain 10 pounds, pass out in our sloth, and wake up early to be rude to each other at stores at 3am. The American way.

Life after an election: This is Mitt Romney now, post 2012 loss, pumping gas himself. One comment on his appearance: He's on a 'milk bender'.. Simply more fodder for SNL should they choose to use it.

Michio Kaku voices his solar flare fears on Coast to Coast AM
Physicist Michio Kaku was a guest on George Noory's Coast to Coast AM last night.
Kaku quickly directed the conversation towards his fears over solar activity He told George Noory that he was disturbed by the size and strength of recent solar flares..
Kaku said that the fear is one of the flares could hit earth and 'all hell could break loose'..
Kaku said it was a matter of time, mentioning that the last big flare happened 150 years when telegraph wires were shorted out. He mentioned that people in Cuba were reading newspaper at night because the Northern Lights went that far South.
In our modern world, Kaku said the satellites would be fried, power plants could go down, and he said it could be worse than 20 Hurricane Katrinas across the planet.. The scary possibility is more possible as the 'maximum' of solar activity is occurring The sunspot is like a rifle, Kaku said, and the flares are like bullets. "One of these days one of these solar flares is going to hit the earth," he told George Noory..
Kaku spoke about Congress' inaction in taking advice of physicists on concerning the grid. Kaku worried about nuclear reactors failing and more Fukushima type events happening simultaneously throughout the world.
A part of the chaos Kaku foresees: Food riots, and violence as people realize 'no outside' will be able to help the areas affected by a solar maximum flare.

Just when you thought every threat to your privacy would take a Christmas vacation
A bill that was meant to protect email privacy is going to do just the opposite. The bill has been rewritten and gives a lot more power to law enforcement to read email without a warrant.
It's set for a vote set week.
Happy holidays.

THANKSGIVING WEEK 2012
Here is a map of where power is still out ..
War on the battlefield in the Middle East and the new battlefield, too: More than 44 million attempts have been made to hack into Israeli websites since last week..
Is your TV watching you? Now former CIA head General Petraeus bragged earlier this year about plans to have your small appliances and TVs watch you in your home to create the ultimate spying tactic.. but now this story just in time for Christmas shopping: New TV models have some in awe and others in fear.. is your TV watching you? The Samsung 2012 top of the line plasma has a great picture quality.. but fears that 'hackers' may use the technology to peer directly into your home and listen to your family.. (Or to take the CIA's thought, perhaps government(s) will be able to do the same as 'hackers'..HAPPY SHOPPING.
Remember the Mayan doomsday safe haven that was set up on top of a French mountain? Numerous sources including the HORROR REPORT wrote about the spot in the past.. now the government has shut down the safe haven for fear that it will be overun with crowds trying to escape destruction on December 21, 2012..

Some photos hit hard.. these both did. The innocence of childhood lost during the Israeli/Gaza conflict.. an innocent child's life also lost
The fact that a child 'does not understand' war and the world means that the child is more humble and honest than any adult in power..
And in the other photo, an adult cries tears of humanity as he carries a dead child from the rubble after a missile strike.
There are many innocent people that die during warfare... they are the 'collateral damages' often uncounted by governments embroiled in hostility.
That is beyond disrespectful. They are people with lives, hopes, dreams.. and often innocence of childhood. Innocence lost in a second, dead bodies litter the streets..
War across the world. Isn't this season supposed to be one of peace on earth??
Whatever happened to that..

Send in the clowns: Chris Christie's skit on SNL draws tough criticism as his state's residents still suffer in the wake of Hurricane Sandy
You can't please everybody all of the time.
That is exactly what New Jersey Governor Chris Christie realizes today. He appeared on Saturday Night LIVE last night during the 'weekend update' segment with Seth Myers. During the skit, he lampooned people with New Jersey attitudes, his fleece, and made a joke at the expense of the Mayor of Atlantic City.
But the Governor's appearance on the show is drawing fierce criticism. Front Page Mag is running an article showcasing how New Jersey residents are still suffering while the Governor joked around on comedy TV..
Even more troubling is this: It has been two weeks since Hurricane Sandy struck the East Coast. And tonight, this cold Sunday evening, there are still people without power in New Jersey.

A new economic boom in the wedding business
With states either legalizing or considering the legalization of gay marriage, a new monetary fact has entered the equation: Gay marriage may lead to an economic boom for those involved in the wedding business!
Just think of the parties! The decorations! the flowers. The lavish dinners..
A whole new segment of the population can now come out of the dark and enter the mainstream. And have catering companies give them the services that straight couples have had for generations.
And speaking of the advantages that straight couples have.. I would imagine divorce attorneys will undoubtedly have the same windfall that catering companies and the like are going to have.
