• President Obama promoted tourism while at the Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown Thursday. He really enjoyed himself . When he heard there's a museum that immortalizes someone for being successful thirty percent of the time, he raced there to fill out an application.
• Toronto mayor Rob Ford's Escalade was pulled over in a drunk-driving arrest Friday. He is still in rehab. The technology's new but the fact that Rob's Escalade was pulled over for drunk driving while he is in rehab is an early sign that Cadillac makes the best self-driving car.
• Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said he feared black guys in hoodies late at night. It was foolhardy to say. The same thing was previously said by both Jesse Jackson and Barack Obama, and Mark Cuban can lose a lot of season ticket sales in Dallas by quoting those two guys.
• Michelle Obama told graduating high school seniors to monitor their grandparents for racial comments Thursday. It backfired. At graduation dinner the grandparents told their grandchildren to monitor Michelle Obama when they need a down payment for their first home.
• The Veterans Administration was blasted in Congress Friday over shoddy patient care at VA hospitals. Other than the long wait to get in, a VA hospital works like any other HMO. If you disagree with their diagnosis, they can prescribe something to make you less disagreeable.
• Britain's High Court ruled that King Richard III's bones be buried at Leicester Cathedral Thursday. The last Plantagent died in battle at Bosworth defending his realm against his in-law Henry Tudor. Shakespeare painted Richard III as crazy evil in order to kiss up to the Tudor Queen Elizabeth, if you can imagine the entertainment industry giving its head of state a soft ride.
