1.   After Texas’s longhorn steer mascot charged Georgia’s bulldog mascot at the Sugar Bowl, PETA urged colleges to stop using live mascots at football games.  ***  To further promote public safety, PETA is also recommending that offensive linemen be kept on a leash.

2.   In 2018, Comcast dropped its bid for 21st Century Fox, which would have included Fox News.  ***  We have now learned that Comcast executives felt it would be too much of a burden to run a media empire and a country.

3.   The Census Bureau has just released figures showing that Michigan’s population has jumped to almost 10 million people.   ***   Of course, it would have been closer to 2 million if they took the survey in winter.
