The Wall Street Journal just reported that America has a surplus of cheese and that every person in the country would have to eat an extra three pounds of cheese this year to get rid of it. So the next time the pizza guy judges you for ordering extra cheese, just say, "I'm doing this for America." –Jimmy Fallon
The New York Times just did a big profile on Donald Trump, and revealed that he has life-sized portraits of Ronald Reagan and John Wayne at his campaign headquarters. And if you don't see them right away, it's because they're right behind a 25-foot tall portrait of Donald Trump. –Jimmy Fallon

I have been working on a
paper for the Education Market.
The paper talks about using
video games as a teaching tool for
children with learning
disabilities.
The age demographic would be
10 to 18. Games could be up to the teacher or student to chose. Games might
include soccer, football, basketball, etc.
Students could learn about
various historical or fictional characters and create them as players for their
team. It would allow the student to study history, philosophy, religion,
sports, popular culture, etc. and then create the characters to be a part of
their team. The students would even be able to play along side their created
characters.
In this example I used PS4
Madden 17. On some of the teams historical figures like Martin Luther King, and
Abraham Lincoln will play on the same team with authors like Ernest Hemingway
and William Shakespeare, or Elvis Presley and Tupac Shakur.
The process is meant to be a
simple and fun way for kids to learn.
Maybe PS4/XBOX machines might
be donated or discounted to schools for these classes.
More on the paper as it is
fleshed out. Enjoy the simulations.

"And
so ensnared in a trap he so shrewdly told others how to avoid, it was time for
Governor Spitzer to join the shame parade, to follow in the footsteps of the
faithless.
New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey,
Idaho Senator Larry Craig,
Louisiana Senator David Vitter,
President
Clinton, even Gary Hart a quarter century ago -- all contrite, all
following the simple rule of public humiliation, bring a date [on screen:
Spitzer appearing at his presser with wife Silda Wall Spitzer and saying, 'I
will briefly address a private matter.
I acted in a way that violated my
obligations to my family']. Right, honey? Right? Remember how you were telling
me about that, me violating the trust of family? Isn't that what you were
telling me between sobs and punches?" --Jon Stewart
