by Michael Global weather patterns seem to get stranger and stranger with each passing year. Almost every day now, the news is telling us about some bizarre weather event that hasn’t happened “in 100 years” going on in some area of the globe. All over the planet, we are seeing torrential rainfalls, unprecedented flooding, extreme drought, nightmarish wildfires, record setting tornadoes and very unusual blizzards. Record high temperatures and record low [...] U.S. Customs intercepted two narcotics shipments over the holiday weekend, one off the coast of the Galapagos Islands in the Pacific and one on the Caribbean off Central America near the Panama and Columbia border Two speedboats on their way to deliver huge shipments of drugs to the United States were stopped short by U.S. Customs patrols this past Memorial Day weekend, and their [...] Confused weather drops over 30 inches of snow on Memorial Day weekend Posted on May 27, 2013by The Extinction Protocol May 27, 2013 – NEW YORK – It’s a snowy Memorial Day weekend for parts of the U.S. On the aptly named Whiteface Mountain in upstate New York, there are at least 34 inches of snow on the ground. What’s that look like? Glad you asked: According to Weather Underground, a couple [...] Sen. John McCain (R) traveled to war-torn Syria on Monday to meet with rebel leaders, a spokesman for the Arizona senator confirmed to The Hill. McCain’s visit makes him the highest-ranking U.S. official to enter the country since its civil war began two years ago.

Among them are 736 Californians and an additional 490 men and women who were assigned to bases in this state. http://projects.latimes.com/wardead/memorial-day-2013/ Since Memorial Day is typically deemed as the unofficial start to summer, many people of the Northeast may find it hard to believe that frost and freezing temperatures are a concern tonight. The same unseasonably cold air that led to substantial snow in the northern New England mountains will make for a chilly night through the Northeast tonight.

And that’s the problem, some veterans say. The city has cancelled its annual Memorial Day parade for what’s believed to be the first time since the end of the Civil War. Many veterans who were gathered at the Herman A.

Stocks hit a new high in the Dow yesterday. CNBC cheered and Fed economists everywhere patted each other on the back.
The unfortunate reality for this “success” is that it only works in nominal terms. A DOW at 14,296 vs. a DOW at 13,000 only means something if the rise in price occurs against low inflation. If inflation was 10% during the time period that this rise occurred, then [...] MIAMI (CBSMiami) — Doctors have released photographs of Ronald Poppo, more than two weeks after the homeless man had much of his face chewed off during an attack by so-called Causeway Cannibal Rudy Eugene over the Memorial Day weekend. Doctors from Jackson Memorial Hospital told reporters Tuesday that Poppo is awake and alert and showed a photograph of Poppo walking down a hospital hallway, supported by hospital staff on either side [...] The Miami man who chewed the face off a homeless man in a horrific and brutal attack which shocked the nation may not have eaten his victim after all. Rudy Eugene – dubbed the ‘Miami cannibal’ – had no human flesh in his stomach when he died, an autopsy has revealed.

An email I just received: Obama on Memorial Day 2012
The following was from a veteran who was at the Vietnam Memorial yesterday: I am currently in Washington DC and witnessed the following.

Less than a week after the nation honoured war veterans in Memorial Day celebrations the remains of one war hero have been found crammed inside a cardboard box, buried in a shallow grave.

(Related: Farrakhan Slams Obama’s Gay Marriage Endorsement: ‘He’s the First President That Sanctioned What the Scriptures Forbid’) The poorly-timed rant took place in San Diego in front of a partially Hispanic audience.
