9/11

1. At the MTV Video Music Awards, Kid Rock and Tommy Lee had a fight in the audience. They were apparently arguing over who was the most washed-up ex-husband of Pamela Anderson.

2. The Washington Post says that Latinos are 14 percent of Americans, but only 9 percent of the voting electorate, partially because of lower citizenship rates. But if they’re not citizens, wouldn’t that make them not Americans?

3. In Jerusalem, a drainage tunnel has been found that ancient Jews used to escape from Roman conquerors. Ironically, they also found modern Israelis still using the tunnel to hide from Italian tourists.

4. The honey crop this year has been extremely bad. When asked for his opinion, Donald Trump disagreed. “No, I think this year has a fine crop of honeys, many of whom will be at my Miss USA pageant.”

5. The Democratic presidential candidates held the first ever debate held in Spanish. Most of the candidates were successful at showing their sensitivity to Latinos, except for Hillary Clinton, who kept trying to translate her own answers by adding “o” to every English word.
