Lots to talk about this week.

MH17. There is much finger pointing going on. There seems little doubt about who pulled the trigger, but where did they get the gun from? Who is going to fess up?

Israel puts boots on the ground in Gaza..Can they cripple the Hydra called Hamas?

ISIS (not the rather nice river in Oxford that I used to punt on) continues create havoc in both Syria and Iraq.

Amazon to offer 'all you can eat' buffet of e-books for $9.99 per month.Needless to say authors are a little unhappy.

Rumor has it that the top two contenders for 2014's word of the year is Ignition Switch and Recall.

Hillary Clinton prefers a home office rather than a comute. Oh and an office with no corners.

80bil was the offer to create the scariest scenario on the planet. Murdoch and Time Warner. The idea of it blows my mind. Controlling content and delivery in almost every media segment, TV, News, News Papers, Radio, etc.

Linda Maria Frank has just published her third book in the Annie Tillerery Mystery series. The Secrets In The Fairy Chimneys is a great read. While aimed at the Young Adult market the author has created a book that stands up well for us older readers.

I will be sitting down with Linda Frank for a (excuse the pun) frank discussion about The Secrets In The Fairy Chimneys and her other books.

How difficult would it be to convert Air Force One into a cargo plane to repatriate the kids crossing the rio grande? I think $3.7 B could buy a whole bunch of 747's.

Have any of you heard anything about Ukraine? Nope, me neither. The hot news is Israel and the bottle rocket war. Will Israel start a ground war?

The Krauts are pissed at the CIA, head spook gets his marching orders.It has been widely known for some time that Angela Merkel is pretty upset by the NSA peeking in to her private life.

With the release of her seventh full-length album and a brand new endorsement deal with Two Old Hippies, who worked with Breedlove Guitars to build her a new custom-made guitar, Katie Garibaldi has proven herself to be an artist with undeniable talent and lasting appeal. Based in the golden city of San Francisco, this determined and enthusiastic singer/songwriter/guitarist is an avid national touring performer who has amassed a devoted fan base, due in large part to her engaging live shows and a personal connection to her listeners through her music. Katie sings with an emotional resonance that, combined with her catchy melodic songs and her soulfully expressive vocals, captures her audience wherever she performs. While she’s been compared to household names such as Sheryl Crow, Jewel, and Taylor Swift, Katie has a charismatic musical style all her own wherein her equally pop- and country-tinged folk-rock gives her a distinct and edgy sound—Americana with sparkling and memorable melodies.
