#1. The American Optometrists Society has sent a formal letter to Senator Chuck Schumer requesting he stop wearing his glasses down on his nose and looking out over the top of them. They claim it is improper and looks really "dorky."
#2. The TSA stopped a cable crew trying to sneak a fake bomb onto a plane. While congratulations are due to the Newark TSA for spotting the fake bomb, they did suffer a slight set back when they missed the tank.

#4. While Los Angeles has formally approved the sale of "Recreational Marijuana" maybe it shouldn't be called "Recreational." Most, while using , seldom do any "recreating" … or even moving.
#5. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West had a baby girl last week. Actually a surrogate had the baby. Their first choice for a name was Walla Walla but reconsidered after political pressure from the what’s left of the Daley family convinced them to go with the name Chicago.
