To Quote Flo Rida and T-Pain

Things in Iran are changing (and not) fast (and slow), while three stories (Minneapolis, Comey, and Kimmel) sound a little too familiar.
Catch Ya on the Flippity Flip
It's an off day today, but I'll be back tomorrow with real news.
Far Too Precious to Swing a Bat
A man fired shots during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, while a man has been arrested in the murder of his roommate and another USF student, and the US trip to Pakistan to talk peace.
Silly, Chaotic, Beautiful Experiment of a Democracy

The Dumbest VP We’ve Ever Had
