• President Obama's proposal to bomb Syria's chemical and military sites drew outcries from the Vatican and protest marches in world capitals. Just how badly is this idea polling? People in Kenya are claiming that President Obama was born in the United States.
• The Rim Fire at Yosemite National Park in California burned on into its fourth week Monday. So far it's charred a quarter million acres. However, Gov. Jerry Brown said it's now all under control, he plans to tax and regulate the fire till it gives up and moves to Nevada.

Fortunately the president has impeachment insurance. It's called Joe Biden. • New England Patriots former star Aaron Hernandez pleaded not guilty to murder last Friday in Boston. The league had fifty-six off-season arrests Last month a rapper with Taylor Gang stabbed an NFL player, and he was charged with impersonating an NFL player.
