What Did They Say?
AOL News Strikes Again 

    First headline - 

 Details Revealed on Ex-Soviet Spy at Trump Jr. Meeting

   Which links to this second headline -

 Only One Person Who Fits Profile of Ex-Soviet Spy at Trump Jr. Meeting with Russian

    So between the first headline which talks about an “ex-soviet spy at Trump meeting” the news is then downgraded in the second headline to “a person who fits profile of ex-soviet spy.” Now we could walk down any street and find several people who fits the profile of an ex-military intelligence person. So already we get the idea that they are trying to make a story out of a non-story. Again. 

    Then we get to the actual article. They start by talking about a meeting “what was billed as possible dirt on Hillary Clinton.” Okay, “what was billed” means that they don’t really know what the meeting was about. “As possible dirt” again means that they are guessing. 

   And then NBC News claimed that one of the people at the meeting was a “former Soviet military intelligence officer-turned-lobbyist.” So military intelligence could mean a 007 type to the guy who sharpened the pencils at the office. 

    So, after two tantalizing headlines, they’ve come up with nothing substantive on a subject that had no purpose except to embarrass Trump Jr. But that would only work if you didn’t read anything past the first headline.

Wrong Hospital: What do you think? 

    Adam is in the hospital. Why? You ask. No? Well, maybe you should. 
    Adam’s there because he shot himself in the foot. Now I know that everyone metaphorically shoots themselves in the foot on occasion, and if not that, at least will put their foot in their mouth once in a while, but Adam is different. At the hospital, when they were filling out the paperwork and put down accidental gunshot to the foot, he corrected them with the news that it was not accidental but that he shot himself in the foot on purpose. 
   He did it once with his shoe on and then to see how it would feel, he did it again with his shoe off. 
    I think this guy is in the wrong kind of hospital. What do you think? 

A Good Story – Yes 

A True Story? – Well, Which Part Are You Talking About? 

   In Colorado, a man has home security camera footage of a bear that spent five hours trashing his house while he and his family slept. 
   That’s a good story, but it raises a few questions. 
   First, I’ve watched a bear ransacking a tent and another bear ransacking an auto and there was nothing quiet about either operation. Those bears didn’t seem to care if anyone heard them or not. So now we have a bear ransacking a house, including ripping off the kitchen door and looking in on the sleeping occupants, and does it quietly? This must be one extraordinary bear. 
   Or second, this guy and his family are the champions of heavy sleepers. 
   That the bear tore up the house I don’t question, but that the people were in the house at the time? For that I’d want some corroboration. 

 This Was One Way to Do It 

    A man in Michigan had a problem with bees in his garage. His solution was to use a smoke bomb to encourage them to leave. Well it worked. In the process, he ignited some fireworks that he had stored in the same garage. The exploding fireworks set his garage on fire and it burnt to the ground. When the firemen got there, they witnessed a good fireworks display. 
    The man hasn’t seen a bee since. Whether they left because of the smoke, or were scared away by the fireworks, nobody knows. Personally, I think they probably left the garage, but hung around for the rest of the fireworks display before moving into the guy’s house.
