• Mexico President Enrique Pena Nieto will hosts President Obama next week in Mexico City's presidential palace. It's an annual exchange. Once a year, America's president goes to Mexico to visit our jobs and once a year Mexico's president comes to the U.S. to visit his people.
• President Obama denied being the most liberal U.S. president Sunday and said Richard Nixon was more liberal. It's strange but really true. Richard Nixon said the N-word so many times on tape there's a statue of him in Detroit honoring him as the Father of Rap Music.
• President Obama addressed a grade school class in Maryland Tuesday. He announced a plan to hook up every child in America to the Internet, and the children cheered. Then he told them that Obamacare is good for their families and they fell out of their seats laughing.
• Facebook celebrated its tenth birthday at company headquarters Tuesday. Its reach is chilling. Last year, Germany threatened to prosecute Facebook over its facial recognition software, saying it violates German privacy laws and it doesn't identify which faces are Jewish.
• The White House proposed requiring automakers to equip vehicles with transponders that allows cars to communicate. Cars heading for a collision can notify each other of an impending crash. Then each car tells its driver to look up from the i-Phone and cross yourself.
• Target apologized for hackers stealing forty million customer card numbers. It didn't hurt Target sales. Satellites photos indicated there were no inflatable rubber swimming pools in Western Pakistan backyards before Thanksgiving and today there are ten thousand.
• Prime Minister Dave Cameron vowed to extend UK pub closing times during late night World Cup matches. How ingenious. The U.S. gives people jobless benefits so they can buy flat-screen TVs, but in England they keep the pubs open and remind everyone when they break into the electronics store after England wins or loses, DON'T forget to steal the remote.
