According to a recent
survey, Justin Bieber is the fifth most hated man in America, just behind
Conrad Murray (Michael Jackson’s doctor) and just ahead of Phil Spector (song
writer and convicted murderer).
*** But, people do admire the
way Mr. Bieber is trying so hard to work his way up the list.
2.
The NSA has released
a 2013 internal e-mail from Edward Snowden asking if presidential executive orders

believe he asked the same question in Russia and Vladimir Putin’s response was,
“Well, duh!”

According to a recent
Gallup poll, half the people in Illinois said they would leave the state if

other half already left, but they’re still on the Chicago voter rolls.

In an effort to
reduce pollution, the Chinese government plans to take 6 million older vehicles
off the road, although they’re not sure how to do that. *** Michigan,

German researchers have
developed a device that lets pilots fly a plane by brainwaves. ***

while texting.

The United States is
skeptical about Nigerian claims that the 300 abducted school girls have been

However, just to be safe, American officials have e-mailed the requested
bank account numbers and passwords to a Nigerian prince in hopes of freeing the
children and also receiving a promised shipment of gold bars.

Dozens of protestors
at McDonald’s annual shareholders meeting were arrested after complaining that

The CEO of Levi Jeans
says that washing jeans wears them out, and to keep them smelling fresh he
recommends just freezing them.
*** Although he admits that
