1. Two men from Chicago have been arrested in Denmark for plotting terrorist attacks. Wow, some people in Chicago are taking it pretty hard about the IOC in Denmark awarding the Olympics to Rio.
2. The Church of Scientology was found guilty of fraud in a French lawsuit. The French government currently sees Scientology as a con job masquerading as a place of deep tradition whose only aim is to bilk money out of gullible victims. A similar lawsuit has been filed against the tourist district of Paris.
3. Facebook announced it will stop automatically sending status updates for dead members, like “Zack has just reached Stage 3 decomposition!” or “Suggest Zack as a friend to Flesh Eating Fungus!”
4. Former President George W. Bush spoke at a motivational seminar in Texas yesterday. “Look how far positive thinking can get you, even with no particular talent or intelligence!” He’s also writing a book about his dozen toughest decisions in office. Number 1: “Who do I give all my presidential decisions?” Number 2: “Pork rinds or Fritos?”
5. President Obama is about to name “smart grid” projects that will modernize the nation’s electricity grid. Not to be confused with “smart griddles”, a Dept. of Defense attempt to create intelligent pancakes.
