New Secretary of State John Kerry has a plan: When he writes a Tweet on the State Department Twitter page, he will write “JK”.. Really, this is the official plan.

It will be nice to know when Kerry himself is writing to the masses, and it may seem simple just to use his initials. It makes sense.. until you realize that, in the Internet and Twitterverse, ‘JK’ means just kidding. I assume the State Department will not be just kidding much, but some who don’t know who John Kerry is may think they are.. I would hope there are no international incidents.. Imagine this future possible Tweet: “The US mourns for your nation during this time, JK” …. Yikes.

What about SK for Secretary Kerry? What about just … “KER” ??
I’d love to be a fly on the wall at the meeting that came up with this. But if I was a fly I guess I’d be swirling around President Obama’s face.

This is a strange world.

YOU HAVE SKYPE, THE LINES ARE OPEN–> In the early 1970s, the Superdome was built over remaining portions of the old Girod Cemetery in New Orleans.. Flashback 2005: The curse of the Superdome..

COULD IT BE? THE SUPERDOME ‘CURSE’?

The oddity surrounding the big power outage at the Super Bowl last night could not get any weirder.. An email that the Horror Report received last night from a reader joked that Beyoncé’s singing was enough to cause a power outage.. But now today in a strange twist of fate that is what some are actually blaming the power outage on!!
The story goes like this: Beyoncé was rehearsing during the week and when she did two power surges occurred in the Superdome just like the one that happened during the live game last night..

Some blamed a UFO! others that it was a curse from the cemetery that the Superdome is going on top of but this more normal everyday explanation may be the weirdest of all..

Just think about it, Beyoncé went from singing at the inauguration to lip-synching and now really singing at the Super Bowl to causing a power failure, at least according to some would think it was her..

We don’t have any official statement from Beyoncé yet whether in person or lip-synched. I am guessing that we will, or someone else to tell us exactly why the lights went out in New Orleans during the highest rated Superbowl of all time…

3:55 pm update: The NFL said it was not Beyonce that did it ..

An email from a reader in Texas:

Coast to Coast is no longer being carried in the Dallas/ Ft. Worth Market. It was replaced by John Bachelor? I think is his name. George is better, of course Art Bell is the best of all.

This is interesting news that I was not aware of. And it is just one more big affiliate that has dropped George Noory..

An FYI in John Batchelor... He is a conservative radio talk show host who frequently has on guests of a very political nature, something that in the old days of Art Bell didn’t really happen..

A return of Bell could shake up the radio landscape, we will see what happens when the dust settles..

The night the lights went out at the Super Bowl

I just received an email from someone who swears that during the Super Bowl, when the power outage was taking place, he saw a UFO flying over the stadium during television coverage..

I appreciate my readers when they get involved and send me things like this, however I did not see this for myself and I’m only writing on it on here because, and I guarantee you, within the next few hours many websites will pick this up.. I’m hoping if they do pick it up they will actually show an image or video of this supposedly UFO..

I guess we can label this a developing story, or just a developing rumor that will go nowhere..

Here is how the AP reported the power outage at the Super Bowl:

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Power went out at the Superdome early in the third quarter of the Super Bowl on Sunday with the Baltimore Ravens leading the San Francisco 49ers 28-6.
The majority of lights failed shortly after Jacoby Jones returned the opening kickoff of the second half for a touchdown. There was 13:22 left in the quarter.

Here is the CNN news alert:

The lights are coming back on in the Superdome after a power outage interrupted Super Bowl XLVII in the third quarter.

And that’s the story. News alerts saved for posterity.. As the game marches on..

Jokes are forming, tweeters are twittering, and Facebookers are alive and well with sarcastic comments about what happened tonight at the Superdome..

In the meantime, this private message just was sent to me in Facebook:

it could be a social experiment. It maybe since Beyonce really sang this time the stadium power surged with excitement.

Maybe the best explanation yet?

During the 3rd quarter of the Superbowl, a sudden and eerie power outage stopped play and caused a delay of several minutes..

There was a power surge in the Super Dome during the big game..

The league is going to make a statement as to what caused the power outage.

Players were told to stay on the field to be ready to begin playing as soon as full power was restored..
