The newsroom here at the Treehouse has just received a bit of ‘painful’ news.  We’ve been told that “G8rMom7” was out ice skating last night and has suffered a broken nose.  Now we aren’t privy to all  the details yet, so we’re left to ponder what could have been the cause of this regrettable accident.

~~~Perhaps she was attempting the difficult double Salchow followed by a half loop, only to lose balance while swinging the right leg forward?

~~~Perhaps she entered the Lutz jump on the wrong edge and was underrotated?

~~~Perhaps her partner, Brian Boitano, did not throw her high enough to correctly complete the throw Axel?

I guess we’ll just have to wait for …the rest of the story.  In the meantime, we at the Treehouse would like to extend to G8rMom7 our most sincere wishes for a speedy recovery.

The date was April 20, 1979, and Jimmy Carter was taking a few days off in Plains, Georgia.  He was fishing from a canoe in a pond, when he spotted the fateful rabbit swimming toward him.  The rabbit was hissing menacingly… its teeth flashing and nostrils flared, while all the time making straight for the president.  An ever alert White House photographer snapped a picture of the encounter for posterity.  (more…)

Life has not been the same for an eight year old Kenyan boy named Jamil Obuya since that fateful day last week when he was playing on his family’s farm in Mombasa.  Jamil and his friends were playing hide the goat, when suddenly he darted behind a bush and discovered the opening to an unknown cave.  When the boys reached the back of the cave, they were surprised to find a small leather pouch with only a faded piece of paper tucked carefully inside.  (more…)

The history of  Japan and its people has been rife with periods of rapid building, great prosperity, destruction, and then eventual rebirth. These cycles have become so ingrained in the Japanese culture, that one can only wonder if the “Kaiju films” (Japanese monster movies) and their like are not somehow the product of this cultural ethos. Japan was only nine years away from the events of Hiroshima, and was in the midst of an enormous rebuilding phase, when the first of the Gojira (Godzilla) movies was released in 1954. The film was originally developed to make an anti-nuclear statement, arising from a true event occurring during the Bikini Tests. A Japanese fishing boat had strayed into the test area, and its crew was exposed to severe amounts of radiation when the bomb exploded.  (more…)

Last Feb. 12th., I received an e-mail (with videos) from one of our commenters here at the Treehouse.   This ‘TreeHouser’ is currently involved with investigating voter registration fraud and they have asked to remain anonymous.  The primary subject in the videos we received is Anita MonCrief, an ex-liberal and Acorn whistleblower, who has now become a citizen journalist blogger.  The same corrupt individuals she mentions in the videos (below) are now targeting Congressman Allen West.  (more…)
