1. Minnesotans are a quietly proud bunch when it comes to our local celebrities. Songwriter-singer Dan Wilson (Semisonic) cowrote the Adele piano ballad “Someone Like You,” and is enjoying it’s No. 1 status. He writes a lot in case you didn’t know and won a grammy for co-writing the Dixie Chicks’ “Not Ready To Make Nice.” (story)
2. This is why I don’t heroize. Martin Luther King Jr. tried to arrange a sex party during the March on Washington? (ABC News)
3. In case you haven’t heard, there was a homicide on 9/11 in NYC that remains unsolved to this day. I suppose the events of that day created the ultimate diversion for getting away with murder. (story)
4. Unreality Magazine published a gallery of celebs without eyebrows to demonstrate how having eyebrows helps us not look like escaped mental patients.
5. This picture pretty much sums up how I feel about politicians right now.

7. Turn game night on its head with these awesome games from the mental_floss store. There are great educational games for the kids available too.

Saw this collectible Obama plate at a garage sale this weekend. I thought it was reasonably priced.

The Grand Hotel Kempinski in St. Moritz, location of the 2011 Bilderberg meeting. It has been closed down since April 10th and will reopen to the public on June 17th.
For those of you who don’t know, The Bilderberg Group, Bilderberg conference, or Bilderberg Club is an annual, unofficial, invitation-only conference of approximately 140 guests, most of whom are people of influence in the fields of politics, banking, business, the military and news media. The names of attendees are made available to the press, but the conferences are closed to the public and the media, and no press releases are issued.
Because of its exclusivity and privacy, the Bilderberg group is frequently accused by conspiracy theorists from both extremes of the political spectrum of being an all-powerful secret society fixing the fate of the world behind closed doors including orchestrating wars, world economies, and even manipulating presidential elections. Here is a current article regarding thoughts about the 2012 election.
Critics of Bilderberg conspiracy theories counter that it is nothing more than a policy discussion forum and social club which only serves as a means to brainstorm, reach consensus, and create social cohesion within the power elite of Western European and North American nations, to better promote Atlanticism and a neoliberal form of globalization.
If you want to learn more about this group, I would recommend reading “The True Story of the Bilderberg Group” by Daniel Estulin.
The annual meeting is taking place in St. Moritz, Switzerland on June 11, 2011.
Here is an alleged list of attendees for Saturday.
