In Case You Missed It Dept.:
The SAT test will include an Adversity Score to determine a student's socio-economic background and have that factor into their college eligibility. Everyone wants it to be fair to the disadvantaged. The test will ask students if their mother was the lead on a hit TV series or simply a supporting actress.
New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio joined the presidential race Thursday competing with the other socialist, Bernie Sanders. A victory by either of these two candidates would produce a real nightmare in my racket. Jokes about socialism aren't funny unless the government says they're funny.
The World Health Organization published a new survey to measure how the obesity epidemic is sweeping the world and which countries are the most affected. It shows that Mexicans have replaced the Americans as the world's most obese people. That's because they're all living here.
Disneyland and Disneyworld will not allow presidential campaigning in their parks this year. However with the 2020 campaign starting to heat up, Disney did cave in to partisan pressure and agreed to re-name Donald Duck simply Duck. To balance things out, Goofy will be re-named Biden.
Joe Biden's huge lead over the Democratic field suggested that mainstream voters are drawn to a centrist Democrat, not socialists. There's a new drinking game sweeping the country. Every time Elizabeth Warren proposes a new free government program you drink someone else's beer.

The Sacramento Bee reports that California legislators are working on revolutionary health legislation that gives illegal aliens health care coverage. In fact, it would give illegal aliens the same health care coverage available to Californians. If that doesn't get them to leave, nothing will.
U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez decreed the correct vegetables for working people to grow in community gardens. She said not to grow cauliflower because it represents colonialism and thus is a white vegetable. So is Joe Biden, senorita, and he's leading by twenty points in the polls.
Advertising Age predicts four billion dollars will be spent on political ads the next two years. When I was 12, political ads warned if you voted for Goldwater, we would get a ground war in Vietnam and race riots. Forty million Americans voted for Goldwater and the ads turned out to be right on the nose.
