How Men Think

News this week that two of Hollywood’s most famous actors both have children who dropped their last names: Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. Suri Cruise has changed her name to her mother’s middle name, now going by Suri Noelle. Brad Pitt’s youngest daughter Vivenne has joined older sister and two other siblings in legally dropping Pitt from her name as well. We go over other celebrity kids who dropped their famous father’s last names for varying reasons and go over what the national statistics are for parental estrangement in this country, it’s higher than you might think. But there is good news, long term, for anyone who has distanced themselves from a parent… the chances for reconciliation are statistically high.

Happy Sunday everyone, it’s been quite the afternoon for us! We had just gotten back from lunch, in the middle of an afternoon work session, when we received a surprise phone call from our front doorman: Police were in the lobby and wanted to come up and conduct a “welfare check.” T.J. and I had very different reactions, but both of them involved confusion and a healthy dose of fear. We’ll explain what the call was about, how it scarily mimicked a horror movie we were watching the previous day, and why we still aren’t sure if we were targeted or misidentified.

In a stunning reversal, the DOJ admitted on Friday evening that a rush complete the reflecting pool, and botched work is to blame for the peeling liner in the National Mall’s reflecting pool, NOT a three time U.S. Olympic canoeist. In fact, in its filing, the U.S. Attorney’s office claims it didn’t have all the information from the Department of the Interior before presenting a grand jury with evidence that the damage to the reflecting pool was caused by vandals. So far, there’s been no official comment from the White House.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos released two ransom notes from the person authorities believe kidnapped 83-year-old Nancy Guthrie six months ago. The sheriff released them hoping to keep interest alive in the story and hoping that someone may recognize the distinctive patterns of word choice and phraseology. The two notes are chilling, the first one demanding millions of dollars “or she will be killed,” the second one acknowledging that she died shortly after being abducted.

Today marks exactly 6 months since Nancy Guthrie was last seen alive, after her son-in-law dropped her off at her Tucson home on January 31st.  This, as Sheriff Nanos revealed the hair sample found in Nancy’s home, turned up no identifiable leads. There is just one piece of forensic DNA left to test and Nanos acknowledged technology might not be in place to sort out the mixed DNA in the sample.  Meantime, the man arrested and detained for several hours during the early days of the investigation, is now suing Pima County along with two family members, demanding a total of $3.25 million dollars for their ordeal.

It was an embarrassing display on the world stage, making the United States government look either dumb or indifferent… or both. A State Department visual display at the International AIDS Conference highlighting U.S. funding for HIV in several African countries, placed every single country listed in the wrong geographical location. Not a single country was in the right place on its map of Africa. You might be surprised to hear just how few of us can place major countries on a world map, hell, only 50% of Americans could find the state of New York.

There are some significant developments in the search for answers in the death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells. First, the medical examiner has completed Wells’ autopsy, but the results will not be released until a grand jury reviews the findings along with the rest of the evidence in the case. Second, an arrest has been made following death threats against a local judge whose son was on the boat with Nolan. Meantime, Wells’ family has secured an audio expert to listen to a distress call made by Nolan’s friends about their sinking boat after wild conspiracy theories continue to grow online about what passengers may be saying in the background of the call.
