• Judge Judy Sheindlin sued a Connecticut law firm Thursday for the unauthorized use of Judge Judy in the firm's TV ads. Last year Judge Judy earned a reported forty-five million dollars from her syndicated court TV show. Only Kobe Bryant gets paid more to sit on the bench.
• Berkeley's City Council enacted a ban on all cigarette smoking inside all public buildings within the city limits of Berkeley. California law gives cities a lot of autonomy. The sign at the entrance to West Hollywood notifies visitors that you are now entering a Work-Free Drug Place.
• The Wall Street Journal reported the missing Malaysia Dreamliner may have crashed in China. If it did, Chinese officials will examine every piece of the aircraft. A year from now China will be offering to sell Dreamliners at one-fourth the price that Boeing charges for them.
• The White House waved off complaints about President Obama doing a mock interview with Zack Galifianakis on Between the Ferns. The president handled it like a seasoned comedian. He trains for these goofball interviews by having lunch with Joe Biden every Tuesday.
• Washington D.C. had high winds which caused power outages Thursday, knocking out the lights and electricity throughout the capital. We couldn't hear from our president. It's left over three hundred million Americans without any clue as to how to fill out their NCAA brackets.
• President Obama met with Ukraine's leader Thursday and vowed serious action if Russia annexes Crimea. The president of Russia said he won't act unless the Crimean parliament passes the bill. Now it's official, Obama's getting it from everybody for ruling by executive order
• HHS Secretary Kathleen Sibelius admitted to Congress that the Obamacare enrollment numbers will fall short. They wanted seven million and they'll be lucky if they get four million. Republicans haven't been this happy since graphite shafts added forty yards to their tee shots.
