• President Obama drew heat Monday for refusing to identify the Nigerian radical Islamist group Boko Haram as radical Islamists. He must be extra careful now. One slip of the tongue and President Obama will be forced to sell the Clippers before he and Magic can even buy them.
• Clay Aiken's Democratic primary opponent for a House seat, Keith Crisco, died suddenly Monday. This followed in the footsteps of Andy Griffith. They demonstrated the best way to make Obamacare work is by doing commercials encouraging people to sign up and then dying.
• Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter was reported set to retire Monday, weary of challenges facing magazines today. The same day, Vanity Fair arrived in American post boxes with Monica Lewinsky's picture on the cover. We knew the post office was slow, but this is ridiculous.
• The Chicago Sun Times reported that Bill Clinton is considering issuing a public apology to Monica Lewinsky for the abuse she says that she's endured since the late Nineties. What an era. Monica served with distinction in the Clinton White House as Under-Secretary of Desk.
• The Washington Monument re-opens this week after being shut down for three years for repairs. It honors a great man. The reason Americans love George Washington so much is because he is the only president who didn't blame his problems on the previous administration.
• L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling apologized on CNN Sunday for the racial comments he made. It's a reminder not to buy a flat-screen TV for awhile. After a U.S. judge rules that a man can't be forced to sell his property over something he said in the privacy of his own home without knowing he was being recorded, flat-screens will be free in L.A. for the next three nights.
