It may not be particularly cringeworthy.. but it's weird nonetheless.

A tale of many Syria headlines

• CNN: What can the world do about Syria?
• Alex Jones’ Infowars: Phony ‘Houla Massacre’: How Media Manipulates Public Opinion For Regime Change in Syria
• Russia blames ‘both sides’ for massacre
• Wall Street JOURNAL: Syria’s Srebrenica‎ 
• Syria plunges towards civil war after massacre
• Children shot, knifed, axed to death in Syria’s Houla massacre …
• Who did it? Some local activists and eyewitnesses say they were from the Syrian army. Others say they were members of the shabiha, the pro-Assad militia that entered Houla from the Alawite villages that ring the township. (The shabiha is predominantly Alawite, the sect of Shia Islam that Assad belongs to.)The Syrian government says the men were terrorists.

You know what it all comes down to? This world is insane.. messed up.. unbelievable in the amount of atrocities that have killed. And for what? Nothing. In the end, absolutely nothing.

Do not lose the meaning of Memorial Day

In the middle if your beer, or barbecue, or party, remember that Memorial Day is perhaps the most solemn of national holidays. 

It is one to contemplate the decorations of the post-Civil War days and recall the casualties of the hundreds of thousands of American soldiers that died during battle. 

We should also give pause to one thought: If you do end up going to a 21 gun salute somewhere in America, how do we strive to be slow to go to war and quick to try peace? 

How can we in such a turbulent world?

Syria kills children with pacifiers in their mouths.. Drones strike in Pakistan.. Oh, and drones will patrol America, too. 

But I digress.

Memorial Day 2012. Do not let this holiday lose the meaning it is intended to have. Do now cheapen it with a useless day of nothingness. Do not..

But here is the sneaking fear that scares me.. in 1945, the big picture was clear: We stopped a tyrant who was killing millions. Ever since then things got murky. And in Iraq and Afghanistan…? Well do we even know who we’re fighting now? Do we have a clue who the tyrants are? And how can you fight the tyrants when they litter this planet like plastic in an ocean?

All thoughts I for one am having this Memorial Day..

All the trouble in the world: Syria

The world watches in shock at the horror developing in Houla, a suburb of Homs..
CNN reported this disturbing quote:

"By God, I washed the dead bodies of nine children. One was less than nine months old!" a man screamed to a U.N. observer. "Why are they treating us like animals? We are humans. Did the infant carry an RPG? Was he a fighter? It was a baby, he had a pacifier in his mouth."

A pacifier in his mouth.. and now dead. A corpse. Someone who didn't make it past even the first year on this pale blue dot.

Maybe it's not even worth asking, but will there be any future generation, or even civilization, that figures out a way to live together without forcing others to leave with violence? Will we ever eradicate murder?

Or war?
Not this time.
Because there seems to be a gut feeling that these murders in Syria may lead to nothing else BUT war..

Truly disturbing details being revealed about the Miami muncher

Did the zombie apocalypse already begin?!

A fatal police shooting involving a naked man and cannibalism. Stuff of movies? No. Stuff of Memorial Day weekends in Miami? Yes, this year at least..

Details are starting to be revealed about the disturbing event today in Miami in which a naked man was chewing the face off of another naked man on a busy highway .. A bicycle rider, Larry Vega, flagged down cops.. the rest is documented by NEWS 7 in Miami:

When the attack continued, Vega says the officer fired but the man continued to chew flesh off the victim. The officer fired several more times, eventually killing the attacker.


A Miami Herald surveillance camera caught the aftermath as the two men laid side by side on the ground. "It was just a blob of blood," said Vega. "You couldn't really see, it was just blood all over the place."


Rescue crews rushed the victim to Jackson Memorial Hospital with missing flesh. According to a 7News source, the victim was not recognizable.


Vega says both the men, who have not been identified, appeared to be homeless and he believes the attacker may have been on drugs. "He looked like he was on something," he said. "Either he was really psychotic or he was on crack."

Not something you'd expect to see everyday.. or any day.

Horrible beyond belief..

Is it me or is the world going absolutely insane?

A papal order to get the butler adhered to... Now what about that money laundering scandal anyway ..

A poisonous Pentecost Sunday for Benedict: New allegations of a conspiracy among cardinals dismissed, questions over the Vatican bank, and a unholy web of corruption ..

But here's the best:

Martini, writing in an Italian newspaper, said the pope had been "betrayed" just as Jesus was betrayed 2,000 years ago, and that the Church would have to emerge from the latest scandal cleaner and stronger.

Just as Jesus was betrayed...?

So I just want to know which Cardinal is going to give the butler the noose so he can, say.. "end it himself"...?
