6/15

1. Man, look at this picture of the protests going on in Iran! Riots, fires, battles with the police! Oh, wait, those are L.A. Lakers fans.

2. Protesters in Iran are using Twitter to coordinate their marches. Unfortunately, the marches haven’t been very effective, since they only have 140 protesters or fewer.

3. President Obama says that he is “deeply troubled” by the violence in Iran. He said: “The only people who should be allowed to commit violence in Iran are NATO.” The protesters are wearing green, which is meant to symbolize green M&Ms. It’s time for many different kinds of revolution there.

4. J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter books, is being sued for plagiarism. Do you notice unsuccessful authors rarely get sued for plagiarism? You never hear about Joe the Baker getting sued for "The Bun Also Rises”.

5. Did you hear that a cream for fighting cancer might also erase wrinkles? Maybe that's the reason for all those "charity" visits by celebrities.
