Amusing News

The unemployment rate in Colorado dropped to 6.5 percent in February, 2014. Colorado, you will recall, was one state that legalized recreational use of marijuana. The unemployment rate information was determined by a survey in which 85.5 percent of the people said they were employed, 6.5 percent said they were unemployed, and 8 percent said they didn’t know if they were employed or unemployed.

On May 13, the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals were tied 3-3 in the bottom of the 12th inning. The Cardinals were the home team. Justin Grimm was pitching for the Cubs, and Greg Garcia was at the plate for the Cards. The bases were loaded. Grimm hit Garcia with a pitch, which forced in the winning run for St. Louis. Does that mean the Cubs pitcher got the game-winning hit for the Cardinals?

The government of Nigeria recently announced that 15 generals face disciplinary action for assisting the terror group Boko Haram (not to be confused with the musical group Procol Harum). Here’s my reaction: Nigeria has 15 generals?

Benghazi finally explained: President Barack Obama said during a news conference in Brussels, “We do not leave anybody wearing the American uniform behind.” First, the administration refused to provide adequate security for the consulate, then didn’t send troops when the consulate was attacked. Why? The four Americans killed by terrorists in Benghazi weren’t in uniform!

Results from a Quinnipiac University poll made public on July 1 indicate that Americans think Barack Obama is the worst U.S. president since World War II. He handily beat out George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and even Richard Nixon with 33 percent saying Obama is the worst. I disagree with the results of this poll. I don’t think he’s the worst U.S. president since World War II. I think Obama is the worst U.S. president ever.  

Headline in the Los Angeles Times web page: “U.S. is a few years away from challenging for World Cup Title.” Well duh! They only hold the World Cup every four years.

You know you’re getting old when you read that Ariana Grande has decided to perform at the VMA awards and you don’t know who Ariana Grande is. Or what VMA is.

The Colorado Civil Rights Commission has ordered a cake maker to make a wedding cake for a gay couple. The baker said he has deeply-held religious beliefs that would be violated by participating in the gay nuptials. Not sure how long this has gone on, and not sure if the gay couple is holding off on the ceremonies until they get their cake. Here’s what I think: I wouldn’t want a man this mad at me preparing my food.

Under the headline “Seneca tribe returns to its roots,” the Associated Press reported that the Seneca Indian Nation is strengthening its roots to the land by only using indigenous plants and trees in public landscaping. From now on, there will be native balsam firs, sugar maples, white ash, bee balm, cinnamon fern and butterfly weed outside Seneca schools, office buildings and casinos. Um, office buildings and casinos? Lots of us cultural minorities would love to return to our “cultural roots” as long as we can bring the air conditioning along with us.

Headline from Yahoo News: “Researchers practice living on Mars – without leaving Earth.” Really? Was there someone out there who needed the “without leaving Earth” clarification? It reminded me of another headline from a few years back: “Investigators determine crash cause was plane flying too close to the ground.” Isn’t that the reason for all plane crashes?

The United States has decided to resupply the Iraqi armed forces with equipment that will help them defeat ISIS, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. The U.S. reportedly will supply the Iraqi army with small arms, communications equipment, and, most importantly, running shoes.

Charlie Christ, an unsuccessful candidate for governor of Florida, got criticized during the campaign for bringing a small, portable fan into a debate to make him more comfortable. Problem was, debate rules didn’t allow that. The violation was so easily discovered that many wondered why Christ did that. I know. Charlie Christ is a man of few principles who has run as a Republican, an Independent and a Democrat in his lust for statewide elective office, and that’s just in the last few years. At the debate, I think he just wanted to assure himself that he’d have at least one fan in the room.

I’m worried about the lack of literacy in the U.S. I read a post from a fellow on a stock chat board recently. The poster was trying to explain why a company did what it did and blamed it on our “latigious” society. For a moment, I thought he meant that the company was operating at the wrong latitude.

President Obama is having trouble finding a replacement for Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, who resigned/was fired in November. But administration sources say the president is in no particular hurry to fill the vacancy. They point out that Obama, who has proposed training and then hiring foreign mercenaries to fight ISIS despite the U.S. having its own army, isn’t using the Department of Defense anyway.

Berkeley, California, has passed an ordinance to require gas stations to put the warning labels on gas pumps: The draft language says, “The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has determined that a typical passenger vehicle burning one gallon of fuel produces on average 20 pounds of tailpipe carbon dioxide, which the EPA has determined is the primary greenhouse gas contributing to recent climate change.” One can’t even emit a huge sigh at this nonsense. Sighing releases even more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Maybe we should have warning labels on our lungs.

Engineers have developed the word’s fastest 2D camera, a device that can capture images at a staggering 100 billion frames per second. Can you imagine sorting through your vacation photos?

Zig-zag patterns found on a fossilised shell may be the earliest engraving by a human ancestor. It’s at least 430,000 years old. Further research has indicated that the shell was a lost ballot, possibly from the Chicago area.

President Barack Obama has faced stiff opposition in his push for an increase in the minimum wage to $10.10 to lift hundreds of thousands of people above the poverty line. The problem is when too many people get above the poverty line, they raise the poverty line.

The Colorado Legislature may consider a bill in the next session dealing with more explicit instructions on how police should deal with suspects, such as don’t profile and don’t use chokeholds. I wonder if a similar effort could occur on the other side. Maybe at the next Street Thugs convention they could have seminars that might be entitled “How to Keep from Getting Shot” which would include panel discussions like, “When six police officers say, ‘Put your hands behind your back,’ do it.” Or, “If an armed police office says ‘Keep your hand in your pocket,’ then keep your hand in your pocket.” Or, “If a police office says, ‘Get off the street,’ don’t turn and charge the police officer.”

The Rev. Al Sharpton suggested in a recent speech that the federal government might need to take over some or all of the police functions in the states. Here’s what happens when the feds take over police functions: racial profiling is okay. A new set of guidelines on racial profiling on the decree track in the Obama administration would exempt the Transportation Security Administration, which found itself unable to ignore the fact that an astoundingly high percentage of potential airliner saboteurs are young male Muslims.

On Dec. 6, 2014, a marijuana warehouse in Denver caught on fire. Volunteer firefighters from 174 nearby fire departments called to ask if they could help fight the blaze.

Bill Maher on MSNBC’s Hardball, Sept. 10, 2014: “The other day, Hillary Clinton said something I thought was very smart, which was that global warming … is the biggest issue that we should be afraid of. And I agree. I am much more afraid of ice, as in melting, than I am about ISIS.” My response is that no one has ever been beheaded by global warming.

The late Maya Angelou wrote a poem about Hillary Clinton. It contains these lines: “There is a world of difference between being a woman and being an old female. If you’re born a girl, grow up, and live long enough, you can become an old female. But to become a woman is a serious matter. A woman takes responsibility for the time she takes up and the space she occupies. Hillary Clinton is a woman.” I could have said the same thing about someone, plus made it rhyme. That would be a poem.

A news commentator recently started his comments with, “It’s an established fact.” How is that different from a regular fact?

My brother presented me with an extremely bad pun not too long ago. He found mice in his basement and suggested they were Chinese mice because they had mousey tongues. If you say “mousey tongues” out loud, it sounds vaguely like Mao Tse Tung. Get it? So to return the favor, I told him I found a mouse entrance into my house that I sealed off with caulk. I said if the mice managed to eat through the stuff, they might well be caulkasian mice.

President Barack Obama recorded another “first” on Jan. 12, 2015. Six years into his presidency, he for the first time admitted he made a mistake.

The New England Patriots’ management may be the one group of Americans most worried about inflation.

NASA recently released its 100 millionth photo of the sun. This entire effort was undertaken for those of you who didn’t know what the sun looks like.

A new study has concluded that if global temperatures don’t start rising again soon, the improbably cute extreme environmental kook (EEK) might go extinct. “Our models show that as the EEK gradually runs out of things to talk about, it could well go extinct by 2022,” said Dr. Luke Warm, a climate change expert. “That would leave vacuum in the climate change debate resulting from the departure of all those empty heads.”

On Feb. 4, 2015, the headline read, “The White House Wants To Go To Europa.” I say, go ahead, tomorrow if possible.

Lots of people are talking about driverless cars, including Uber, the hail-a-ride company. Wouldn’t it be cool if the driverless car could also check riders for outstanding warrants? Then the car, having confirmed that the rider is a wanted man, could lock the doors and automatically deliver the individual to a police station.

A recent study in the Journal of Geophysical Letters indicates that underwater volcanoes may play a large part in global climate change, a phenomenon not considered in the climate models promoted by the anthropogenic global warming crowd. I think my dad worked on building one of those volcanoes.

Probably on a government grant, a team of nine “fact finders” from Vermont traveled to Colorado to study the effects of marijuana legalization in that state. I expect the entire text of their report will read: “Dude, Wow!”

On Feb. 24, Chicago will begin early voting in its municipal elections. Each polling place, which will include city offices, schools and graveyards, will also accept voter registrations.

In Kentucky, Louisville and Lexington will receive $9.3 million in federal grants to pay for ten battery-powered, zero-emission transit buses. That works out to $930,000 per bus. Or, the feds could have bought 150 electric cars in each city, given them away to commuters, let them drive themselves to work and not had to pay for a driver, maintenance, storage or power.

Democratic U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy, the longest serving senator with seven terms and a pretty good argument for term limits, announced he would not attend Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s planned address before a joint meeting of Congress on March 3. In a blunt statement, Leahy, 74, said that he didn’t think he could stay awake through the entire speech.

I didn’t go to see “Fifty Shades of Grey” because I don’t like black and white movies.

It’s Feb. 18, and if Congress doesn’t act by Feb. 27, parts of the Department of Homeland Security will be shut down. There are an estimated 12 million illegals running around the U.S. Approximately 36,000 criminals who were also here illegally were released from prisons and are at large. Thousands of foreign kids and teens cross the border with impunity. Guns we gave Mexican criminals show up at crimes scene in the U.S. A national park on the border can’t be used by Americans because it is being used by drug and human smugglers. Excuse some of us if we thought the Department of Homeland Security already was shut down.

Fox News reported on Feb. 17 that hundreds of Italian taxi drivers had “taken to the streets” in a labor dispute. That’s not news. Where else would one expect taxi drivers to be?

On Feb. 25, 2015, the state of Georgia delayed the execution of a murderer because of an impending winter storm. And here all along I thought they did these things inside. I wonder how the state announces these events: There will be an execution tonight, weather permitting?

The New York Times, frequently an apologist for all things Democrat, printed a blockbuster story on Hillary Clinton that might damage her chances to become the next president of the United States. In related news, Hell froze over.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on March 10, 2015, suggested 47 U.S. senators do not understand the U.S. Constitution. This from a leader in an Islamic theocracy. I would rather Mohammad Zarif explain something about which he should know – the 72 virgins in paradise promise. Virgins are only virgins once, and men are sent to paradise for eternity (women don’t get this same reward). Suppose the man restrains himself to the best of his ability and only partakes of one virgin every year, or once every ten years. What then? Do the virgins grow old and wrinkly? Do they stay in the household for eternity? Do they have mothers-in-law? These are questions I would like to have answered before I strap on that old suicide vest.

Five days a week, USA Today reports on the top news stories from each state in the union. On March 24, 2015, the top story from Hawaii was that “crews installed a new traffic signal near Waipahu Elementary School.” Really? That’s the most interesting story out of Hawaii?

We’ve heard that the next season of Game of Thrones will be sponsored by Kohler toilets.

Plan A for any bureaucrat who can’t do his or her job is to ask for more money, the excuse being he or she couldn’t do the job because they didn’t have enough money. In April of 2015, it was almost impossible to make phone contact with an IRS “helper.” Thus John Koskinen, commissioner of the IRS, said his agency desperately needs more money. Plan B for Koskinen is to stand in a corner and hold his breath until he gets blue in the face.

It snowed in Walden, Colorado, last night. We don’t really have school snow days in the mountains because, well, we’re used to it. But I remember snow days when I went to school in the city. Snow days were declared when it was too difficult or dangerous to get kids to school. However, on snow days it was never too difficult or too dangerous to get to the nearest sled hill.

There was a crash between two buses carrying bands just outside of Denver. One was a private group on its way to a performance, and another was school band on a trip. The crash occurred in dense fog, so police surmised that the two band drivers were flying on instruments.

The latest reports on the Clinton Foundation revealed that former president Bill Clinton received $750,000 for one speech. Such fees are raising questions about whether these fees are legitimate or thinly-veiled bribes. Despite that, Bill Clinton was asked if was going to continue giving speeches. “I’ve still got to pay the bills,” he replied. Excuse me, but if someone gave me $750,000 for a single speech, that would pay my bills for next 15 years!

A Federal Elections Commission report indicates that Hillary and Bill Clinton “earned” $25 million in the last year. Gee, all that money, and Hillary can’t find a competent hairdresser?

Six congresspeople have introduced legislation to provide a free college education for inmates. The most popular course selected by the inmates so far is Locksmithing 101.

It has been announced that the U.S. Senate will not be in session for the next eight months because it appears that every Republican senator will be running for president.

The results of a study made public on June 1, 2015, said that rising greenhouse gases have boosted rainfall in the Sahel region of Africa, easing droughts that occurred 1970s and 1980s, “in a rare positive effect of climate change.” Well, who couldn’t have seen this coming. After the doom and gloomers predicted drought after drought as a result of “climate change,” where did they think the rain was going to go? Mars?

Douglas Bruce is the author of a tax limitation amendment in Colorado that allows voters, in some instances, to opt out of certain requirements of the amendment. It’s called de-brucing. That process shouldn’t be confused with what Caitlyn Jenner did.

Part of the austerity program the European Union is forcing on Greece is an order to Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos, President Karalos Papoulias, Bank of Greece Governor Georgios Provopoulos and Minister of Education Konstantinos Arvanitopoulos to shorten their names.

Russia has launched a public relations program to warn people about the danger of taking selfies following numerous accidents – some fatal – that occurred while people were taking selfies in odd places, giving rise to a new term: a selfie-inflicted wound.

NASA has released a map of Pluto taken based on photos by a space vehicle that traveled billions of miles and cost tens of millions of dollars. Why didn’t NASA just go to the Pluto Visitor’s Bureau for a map?

My nominee for most useless road construction sign: “No Center Stripe.” This from the Colorado Department of Transportation. Do we need a sign that tells something isn’t there? How about, “No Unicorns on Road Ahead.”

George R.R. Martin began writing the “Game of Thrones” series more than ten years ago. That was before people paid much attention to Hillary Clinton, but has anyone else noticed the similarity between the character traits of Hillary and Cersei? Except, of course, that Cersei is really good looking.

The solar-powered plane attempting to fly around the world had to land in Hawaii after its batteries overheated. Sponsors of the flight said the Solar Impulse 2 will be grounded for nine months. Passengers were offered one free night at a local motel and a meal.

Okay, this Minnesota dentist who shot Cecil the Lion spent upwards of $50,000 on the African safari. Now we find out he has a second home in Florida, and has taken an indefinite leave of absence from his practice. Just how much was this guy charging his patients?

This from the respected (?) Washington Post: They were talking about how cow burps contribute to global warming.”Overall, the livestock supply chain emits 44 percent of the globe’s human-caused methane.” My thought is, if it comes from a cow, it’s not human-caused.

There I was, totally overjoyed when I read that Barack Obama went to prison on Sept. 23, but then I realized he was just there on an official visit.

If Hillary Clinton wants to limit prescription drug payments from individuals to $250 a month, why not extend that to other bills. Why not limit college tuition to $250 per month? Why not limit mortgages to $250 per month? Why not limit family grocery costs to $250 per month? Why not limit Clinton’s spending on campaign ads to $250 per month?

The Obama administration has just announced through the Obama administration’s Justice Department that an Obama administration’s IRS did nothing wrong when it targeted conservative groups for “special” treatment, and that former Obama administration employee – Lois Lerner – who took the Fifth twice at Congressional hearings, would not be prosecuted for anything. How corrupt can this administration get?

A woman from Dallas by the name of Paw Eh has been arrested for attempted murder. Although she appears to be Asian, officers at first thought she was Canadian, eh?

Scientists have reported that they have discovered 47 new species of snail. It’s been a long time this scientific team reported any progress in this area because the research has been moving at … well, it’s been moving slowly.

Students from the University of Washington released a video instructing children how not to dress for Halloween, and another university president apologized for dressing like a Mexican mariachi band member at a Halloween party. And there have been several other holier-than-thou instructions from the political correct crowd about Halloween costumes. And I agree; costumes take away from the real message of Halloween, which is to teach the younger generation how to become welfare recipients.

Toyota is investing $1 billion in a research company it’s setting up in Silicon Valley to develop artificial intelligence. Reportedly, the first recipients of the new technology will be the entire Kardashian family.

Kurt Mix, a figure in the BP oil spill in the Gulf of in Mexico in 2010, pleaded guilty to “intentionally causing damage without authorization to a protected computer.” What he did was delete three e-mail message strings between himself and a friend. He had been facing 20 years in prison, but got six months probation. This same judicial logic, if applied to Hillary Clinton, would have her facing 200,000 years in prison, but actually getting 20,000 years of probation for deleting 30,000 emails from her computer.

Most unfortunate verb used in a news story: “The accidental electrocution at the top of a train carriage of a 24-year-old Moroccan … sparked the unrest among the migrants.” Sparked?

Researchers now believe that Stonehenge was originally built in Wales and transported to its current location in England 500 years after it was originally built. Apparently, the National Henge League decided the original venue in Wales wasn’t drawing big enough crowds.

When political correctness can get you in trouble: A recent advisory from the state Division of Wildlife advised people that when confronted with a mountain lion, hands, a rock or even a stick could be used to fend off the predator. No mention was made of the best tool to fend off an aggressive mountain lion – a gun.

In the wake of the record PowerBall drawing, a fellow asked me if I had any conception of how much money $1.5 billion actually is. I said yes I do because the lady in the line in front of me at WalMart had $1.5 billion worth of groceries.

The North Koreans reacted to the latest round of U.N. sanctions by firing six ballistic missiles into the sea, which really wasn’t much of a demonstration of accuracy.

Mitt Romney sent out robo-calls in Michigan before the Republican primary on March 8, 2016, saying in part that Donald Trump would probably lose to Hillary Clinton. Well, who knows more about losing than Mitt Romney?

In return for his endorsement, Donald Trump promised former candidate and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson a position in his cabinet. You see, Trump knows that at some point, he’s going to need brain surgery.

Three million boxes of DiGiorno pizzas and Stouffers dishes have been recalled because customers reported bits of of glass in the dishes. Initially, the companies said the glass was just window dressing.

Researchers in March of 2016 discovered two previously unknown rooms in King Tut’s tomb. Further research indicates that one room was a closet where Queen Nefertiti, one Tut’s father’s wives, was hiding when the father visited his 19-year-old son. Tut’s death followed soon after.

The news report said, “Jack Montague, the former Yale basketball captain who was expelled last month after a university panel found he had sex with a female student without consent.” Didn’t that used to be called “rape?”

The headline said, “Brazil poll shows strong support for president’s impeachment.” Wow, I thought. Even the Brazilians don’t like Obama.

Legal marijuana sales will hit $24 billion within five years, and that would be a new high.

On March 22, President Obama while in Cuba said, “It is now time to leave the past behind us.” Excuse me, but where else would the past be? In front of us?

In 2016, a Japanese “research” fleet returned home after killing 333 minke whales. Is it any wonder that Japan keeps getting attacked by the likes of Godzilla, Rodan and Mothra?

The headline said: “New York to Fight Zika Virus with Larvicides, Repellants, Condoms.” The condoms are really tiny and are designed to keep the mosquitoes from reproducing.

The commercial breaks during the NCAA tournament games this year were so long that several seniors graduated before the games resumed.

More than 42,000 people have signed petitions to allow guns at the 2016 Republican convention. The two most common names on the petitions were Smith and Wesson.

More than 42,000 people have signed petitions to allow guns at the Republican convention, which shows they agreed with most of the bullet points on the petitions.

The headline in the Huffington Post read: “Hillary Tells Us the Truth.” Wow, that is news.

A new type of material called metallic foam can block bullets, radiation and even X-rays. One possible consumer use would be women’s clothing to wear at Superman’s cocktail parties.

The Colorado Legislature failed to pass a law putting an upper limit on the potency of recreational marijuana. They considered “Wow, Dude!” too vague.

The United States has announced it will have to buy at least 18 more rocket engines from Russia to put military satellites in orbit. In a related development, Major League Baseball has announced it will need at least 22 more ball players from Cuba.

Presidential candidate Donald Trump announced that if elected, Dr. Ben Carson, a neurosurgeon, would become a member of his cabinet. The reason was that of all the candidates, Trump would be the one most likely to need brain surgery.

Apple has again resisted a U.S. government demand to give it access to an iPhone used in a New York drug case. If Apple continues to not comply, the government has threatened to bring in a teenager to break the phone’s code.

Iran and Turkey have agreed to cooperate on terrorism and trade. The way that will work is that Turkey will now order its terrorists exclusively from Iran.

An appellate court in California has decided that teacher tenure is constitutional. Well, duh. Why would judges who are appointed for life object to teachers holding their jobs for life?

Pope Francis apparently has not endorsed Bernie Sanders for President. The rumor that he had was just another case of papal bull.

“The public deserves to know that … 45-day forecasts are not rooted in any science currently available to meteorologists and have not demonstrated value,” says a respected meteorology group. However, respected meteorologists in the global warming community can tell you what the temperature will be 100 years from now.

North Korea has promised to stop nuclear tests if South Korea ceases military maneuvers. North Korea also has promised to stop claiming the late Kim Jung Il shot a 34 on 18 holes, and Kim Jung-un will stop executing his girlfriends and relatives.

Fiat Chrysler said Friday that it is recalling more than 1.1 million cars and SUVs worldwide because the vehicles roll away after drivers exit. Fiat denied this actually was an experiment in driverless repossession.

In line with continuing judgments regarding species discrimination, a Vulcan court ruled that a Klingon could not use the Vulcan bathroom simply because the Klingon “identified” with being a Vulcan. The court said that simply wasn’t logical.

North Korea has asked for Western help in studying Mount Paektu because Paektu’s volcanic activity inexplicably continued even after Dear Leader Kim Jung-un ordered it to stop.

The FAA confirmed that one of Donald Trump’s planes had been flying for months with an expired registration. They also noted that the 69-year-old’s plane had flown 4,000 miles with its blinker on.

Eight USC offensive linemen crammed themselves into an elevator. Apparently they heard that there was a cheerleader in the car who wanted to go down.

Bilbo Baggins’ tale “There and Back Again” is not about a transgender hobbit who changed his mind.

The Chicago Cubs have finally found a way to beat the Cardinals; they bought the Cardinals team.

Former Polish prime minister Donald Tusk said Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan needs a thicker skin. Erdogan agreed, saying, “A Tusk is exactly why I need a thicker skin.”

The 911 caller from Paisley Park actually said, “The person once known as being alive is now dead.”

France has a won a $39 billion bid to build Australia’s new submarines. The bid would have been $40 billion, but Australia said it didn’t need the automatic white flag equipment used when French submarines are attacked.

After a week of strife, Kelly Ripa returned to the set of “Live! With Kelly and Michael.” Ripa explained her absence by saying, “I needed a couple days to collect my thoughts.” That’s not good when a live TV host needs two days prep time to produce some thoughts.

It’s a good thing jazz musician Miles Davis was born in the United States. If he’d have been born in Europe, he would have been named Kilometers Davis – not nearly as catchy.

McDonald’s is experimenting with a chicken nugget with no artificial additives. The only problem was when they took all the additives out, the nugget disappeared.

People are wondering what to call Hillary Clinton if she’s elected President. First Lady won’t work. First Woman sounds kind of clunky. How about First Felon?

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer got a $6 million pay cut (deservedly so, if you’ve ever had to deal with Yahoo), which left her with a salary of only $36 million. Would someone please cut my pay to that amount?

In North Korea during the Kimjongilia (really) festival, all citizens are required to visit national monuments. That creates huge lines, kind of like at Disney World. You actually are not required to visit Disney World, unless you have kids.

The headline said: Charleston church shooting suspect’s friend to plead guilty to lying. Lying’s against the law? Does Hillary know this?

Quote of the day, May 3, 2016: Hillary Clinton, speaking to an unemployed coal miner, ““What I said was totally out of context from what I meant.”

Former New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, a Democrat from Manhattan, will get to serve a new term, except this one will be a 12-term in prison. Silver was convicted of multiple counts of corruption.

How you know when your Karma’s really bad. You were one of the five people drowned when a  sewage reservoir overflowed in a village in northern Gaza.

A Brazilian gang leader tried to escape prison by changing into the clothes of his teenage daughter who was visiting him. Jailers discovered the ploy when the gang leader couldn’t work a smart phone.
