8/14

1. A new study says that high-fat foods can make your short-term memory worse. So maybe pot doesn’t affect your short-term memory -- maybe it’s just all the Cheetos and cookies.

2. The CEO of Whole Foods supermarkets, which have made their business from natural and organic food, has written an article condemning the Democrats’ healthcare plans. That’s like “Tiger Beat”, the teen magazine about boy celebrities, coming out with an editorial against pedophiles. You’re going to lose way too many of your customers.

3. Scientists have found a genetic mutation that lets people function on six hours of sleep. I didn’t know a genetic mutation created Red Bull.

4. A follower of Charles Manson named “Squeaky” was released from prison today. How did she get caught? Well, I think one answer can be found in her name.

5. Hillary Clinton has ended her tour of Africa. The New York Times reported that it had been “a grueling seven-nation 11-day trip”. Or as some of my friends might describe it: “vacation”. Grueling? It sounds cool.
