Hillary Clinton was in town last night for a fancypants dinner at a really rich guy’s house in a tony Portland neighborhood, but you probably didn’t go because you couldn’t afford the $2,700 price tag. Of course, neither could we. Reporters that did go were kept down the street, though photogs got some long lens shots, and local muckity-mucks said afterward that Hils talked weed, Planned Parenthood, and bagged on Jeb Bush.
Know what else we didn’t do? We didn’t send 12 pounds of meth to a home in Cornelius. We swear. It totally wasn’t us. Really. Stop looking at us like that. Seriously, stop.
Know what we are gonna do? We’re totally gonna go see Bernie Sanders! He’ll be at the Memorial Coliseum this Sunday and seriously everrrrryyyybody is going. You know why? Well, first of all because it’s FREE. But also because he’s a total long shot but he’s neither a racist windbag nor an unabashed liar.
That forecast looks pretty nice, huh? Well, batten down the hatches because El Niño is coming. And new data from NASA suggests it’s going to be even worse than they thought.
Today marks the 70th anniversary of the U.S. dropping a uranium atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, killing more than 100,000 people and obliterating much of the city.

There’s a little less ore-grade uranium loose in the world, though, after the State Security Service of Ukraine thwarted a gang’s plot to sell uranium-238 isotope.
But lest you get a false sense of safety, be aware that rapper Busta Rhymes was arrested and faces assault charges after allegedly throwing a container of Lean Body Protein drinks at another dude at the gym. It’s a shake down!
Airplanes are generally safe, but investigators confirm another chunk of Malaysia Airlines’ Flight MH370, which has been missing since March 2014, was found on a remote French Indian Ocean island.
War, on the other hand, is never safe. In a Wednesday speech, President Obama warned critics of the proposed nuclear deal with Iran that “some sort of war” is inevitable without the agreement.
This is all too much violence and war, so let’s watch this red panda wrestle a pumpkin and feel better:
That red panda is so cute that I’m transcending time and space.
The Bernie Sanders rally has moved venues to Moda Center.
“Shake down.” HA!
Wow, that sure was a rather ‘glib’ way to approach the bombing of Hiroshima.
scratch that thought. my apologies.
