President Obama was guest of honor at the India Republic Day parade Sunday. He was serenaded by a uniformed band that rode by him on camels, then red-uniformed cavalry astride white horses saluted him with their swords. It made him sad you cannot be Viceroy of two countries at the same time.
• White House security snatched a drone that landed on the South Lawn Monday. It's a two-foot by two-foot four-motored quadri-chopper. When the Secret Service agent called it in, identified himself and described it, the operator assured him that the first month of sobriety is always the hardest.
• NASA reported that an asteroid a third of a mile wide passed close by the Earth Monday, coming to within a relative whisker of direct impact with our planet. The asteroid just missed hitting the Earth by seven hundred thousand miles. Michael Moore noted the near-miss and called the universe a coward.
• Internal Revenue Service officials complained Tuesday that budget cuts were severely restricting the ability of the IRS to provide service to taxpayers. It's frenetic. IRS agents are so buried by work they automatically referred the rapper Iced Tea for an audit just assuming he was a conservative group.
• The Wall Street Journal reported Monday that the airline shopping magazine Skymall is filing for bankruptcy protection. The magazine always boasted of its exclusive clientele. Skymall was the country's premiere shopping destination for people who just drank four mini-bottles of Cutty Sark.
• Politico reported online Tuesday its sources say that Hillary Clinton is one hundred percent going to enter the race for U.S. president. Most people agree that Hillary's top quality is the historical nature of her candidacy. She could be the last Anglo-Saxon the Democrats ever nominate for president.
