Lightning, earthquakes, and locusts oh my

The Pope retired and an earthquake hit his villa.
It’s almost Passover and now LOCUSTS are descending on Egypt, with Israel being placed on alert..
Things do get weird … don’t they? -

MONDAY MARCH 4 2013FIRST LIGHTNING STRIKES THE VATICAN, NOW THIS: More stories of high strangeness regarding the departure of Pope Benedict..A mild earthquake strikes Castel Gandolfo, the home of Pope Emeritus’ home.. just days after he arrives..

A new 21st century late shift coming? Rumors abound that Jay Leno will be out at the TONIGHT SHOW with Jimmy Fallon replacing him.. In my opinion, it’s time for a female to host a late night talk show.. I have some thoughts. CHELSEA HANDLER FOR LATE NIGHT!
And replacing Jimmy Fallon on LATE NIGHT: David Letterman. Just kidding.Actually.. I think it’s time for a woman to take over some air time on late night TV.. And no, not Oprah. I think the best choice for the future of late night would be Chelsea Handler. I am serious about that. She would bring a creative feeling to late night—and if she’s put into the Fallon slot, she would be able to continue her irreverent style of comedy..Leno has grown extremely stale. So has Letterman—anyone who is still a David Letterman fan is only one for two reasons: 1) They were fans since the Late Night days and 2) out of respect because of his late night days.As for Fallon? I’ve never been overly fond of him..But Chelsea Handler can re-invigorate late night TV.And for God’s sake, isn’t it time that corporate executives try to bring a female into the fold of TV show history? I say yes. -

He is Bieber. Hear him roar.
I am sure the world will cry with sympathy and the Beeb’s worst birthday ever. So much drama.. so little time.

Fukushima back in the news
It should have never left the news.. but it did (unless you actually sought out Fukushima related headlines online) .. This time mainstream media has picked up on a new report that indicates infants having a higher cancer risk due to the tsunami and nuclear disaster.. of course the WHO report says it’s a ‘slightly’ elevated risk.
Slight…

Ruling by fear: Reality TV style
Move over Honey Boo Boo. Reality TV in China just got real..
As the LA TIMES reports:Chinese state television Friday broadcast live images of the last moments of four foreign drug traffickers who were about to be executed for the 2011 killings of 13 Chinese fishermen on the Mekong River. Although the cameras pulled away before the lethal injections, the coverage was unprecedented, unleashing a storm of criticism and debate about the death penalty.
Psychologists decried the coverage as distressing to children. Lawyers complained that it violated a clause in the criminal code against parading the condemned before execution.
