5 Minutes or So of Fame

Nice! I can actually use the As Heard On category for myself! I didn't get home for my morning routine until around 9 AM. So I flipped on WCHE AM and started my morning listen to the Jay and Randy Show. All of a sudden, I hear my name... the cat doesn't talk and no one was home but me. Damn! It was on the radio! I proceed to hear Randy talking about my entry on AM radio stations in West Chester and saying that he was wondering if I would be cool with it being read on the air, as well as the web site address! I cranked up AIM and im'd him fast saying sure! Next thing I know, he is reading verbatim the posting. Damn! Thanks for the promo! No, I can't afford to pay your rate card rates ;-) I still can only think of one thing to say... DAMN! And please, anyone who is visiting, courtesy of WCHE, welcome, enjoy and, of course, leave a comment if you feel the urge to do so, and please stop back often! All who agree (and disagree) with my opinion are always welcome!

Alex Haig Syndrome

|
For those of you too young to remember the Reagan Assassination Attempt, when then Secretary of State, Alexander Haig said in the heat of the moment I am in control here. Secretary Haig had forgotten that then Vice President George H. W. Bush was next in the line of succession. On CNN this morning in an interview with Wolf Blitzer, Norman Ornstein from the American Enterprise Institute said that we should all remember that at noon on Thursday, all three branches of our government will be sitting or standing in one, very vulnerable spot on the east side of the US Capitol building. With one act of terrorism, the entire human basis for our form of government could be killed or crippled. Yes, it is on this day every member of Congress, the Supreme Court, and the Executive Branch are assembled to witness the coronation. One of my favorite questions was posed by Dr Ornstein: What if? Yes, what if such a horrific act took place. His article in the New Republic points out the potential scenarios when the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 cannot be fulfilled. Alex Haig should stay home and watch the festivities of January 20th on Faux News just in case he is called upon again to take charge, another very scary thought.

Himalayan UFO Base?

|
According to an editorial in India Daily, both China and India have knowledge of an underground UFO base, supposedly buried in a tectonic plate boundary in the counties' border in the Himalayas.
According to the few locals people on the Indian and Chinese side, this is where the UFOs are seen coming out of the ground, According to many, the UFO underground bases are in this region and both the Indian and Chinese Government know this very well.
Art Bell reported this news on Coast-to-Coast AM a few moments ago. I am sure he and George Noory will be hunting down this one in future shows.

Reality-Based Faith

|
Sounds a bit contradictory in today's world, but that's the fact. On Mike Malloy's show tonight on AirAmerica Radio, he interviewed Marc Perkel, the First One (I kid you not) of the Church of Reality, a church/religion based upon reality. Stop over to his web site for their dogmatic pronouncements. No, it is not a joke or a parody like the Landover Baptist Church. It is for real, no pun intended.
The Church of Reality is a religion based on the practice of Realism, believing in everything that is real. Our motto is, "If it's real, we believe in it." Since no one knows all of reality, the Church of Reality is about the pursuit of reality the way it really is. We commit to being intellectually honest with ourselves and with others so that we can cut through the mythology. We want to know about the way things really are in the real world.
Also, note the new category of As Heard On which I will use to file items of interest heard on my favorite radio (you know, the box with knobs and no screen) talk shows.
