So, Facebook is apparently working on something big. And they didn’t invite us. Bastards.
We received information from an individual who saw something. The information seemed credible, so we decided to follow up on it.Roseville, Mich. Police Chief James Berlin • Discussing their decision to follow up on a tip they received about the whereabouts of Jimmy Hoffa, the union boss who infamously went missing in 1975. A tipster told the police that he may have been buried under a driveway. When doing a search of said driveway, they found an “anomaly,” leading the department to plan for a soil check on Friday. “We do not know if this is Jimmy,” Berlin emphasized.
Is this Amelia Earhart’s plane wreckage? That’s what The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR), which planned a research expedition to find her aircraft back in July, suggests.
Hillary Clinton digs into mystery of Amelia Earhart’s disappearance: Clinton will meet today with a group that’s launching a new effort to try to find Earhart’s plane wreckage.

This is from March 10, 1991, when a manipulation of this nature would’ve required a lot more work. The clone brush didn’t really exist back then. Could you imagine the level of meticulousness that it would require to edit a photo like this on a really early photo-editing program? Or even by hand? I bugged Alan Taylor about this and he said he’d take a deeper look at the photo, which surfaced as a result of his post from about a month ago.
Lowrie says it’s just “Washington thinking” to look at whether modest-income Americans will wind up shouldering much more of the tax burden. He repeatedly refused to say how much more of the tax burden would be borne by the poor and middle class than under the current system. But he implicitly acknowledged the problem by saying that the campaign would “fix this” with a new empowerment-zone plan that would be laid on top of the 9-9-9 plan and would presumably lower taxes in inner cities. But how fair is that to people living elsewhere? And aren’t we back to more complexity?
BY THE WAY … Lowrie isn’t an economist. He’s a “wealth management” consultant, whatever that means.
What happened to Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen? She’s dead: In case you were in need of a good Hollywood whodunit, the death of publicist Ronni Chasen the other day has the city gripped like a Phil Spector murder case. source
