GOOD MORNING, BLOGTOWN! Damn, the street lights just came on! And my momma’s in the streets tellin’ me to come home. I hit the gate and I hops on my Schwinn, and I tell the homies, “Alright then,” yeah. LET’S GO TO PRESS.
The Iraqi prime minister says “no stinkin’ way” to American or foreign troops combating ISIS on the ground in their country. In short, “We got this.” Umm-hmmm. We’ll see if they’ve “got this.”
Meanwhile a US general disagrees, noting that airstrikes aren’t enough to get rid of ISIS, and that ground forces are needed to get in there and root out the problem.
Oh, and ISIS is in the movie-making business now? Apparently they’ve released a trailer for a film called Flames of War in which the group threatens to target our military and the White House. (Hope Channing Tatum stars!)
An upstate New York man stands accused of joining up with ISIS and plotting to murder members of the US military.
President Obama makes a global call to action to fight Ebola, which he says is “unprecedented” and “spiraling out of control.”
According to team owners, alleged child beater and Minnesota Vikings player Adrian Peterson will not be allowed to continue further violence on the football field until his legal issues are resolved.
One of the doctors operating on the late Joan Rivers allegedly took a selfie with the unconscious comedian before she lapsed into cardiac arrest. I believe his name was “Doctor DICK.”
The Occupy movement is still at work, focusing their ire on student debt and doing something about it. They’ve paid off $3.8 million of young people’s student loans since January.
An Oregon man is killed by a woman on their first date after they attended a party, she became intimate with a tattoo artist, and… oh, just read it for yourself.
Now here’s what’s going on in your neck of the woods: Mostly cloudy today but still warm with a high of 80.
And finally, robot cheetahs are stealing the jobs of our real cheetahs!!
