3.   Viewers watching the State of the Union address last night wondered why Melania Trump had one glove on and one glove off during the event.   ***    Well, perhaps she’s like me—I mean, that’s what I do when it’s cold but I need to pick my nose.

4.   Tyson Foods is recalling 36,000 pounds of chicken nuggets because of contamination with bits of rubber.  ***  Initially, they just thought the latest batch came from unusually bouncy chickens.
