• Richard Nixon's secretly-taped Oval Office conversations will be published in a book next year. His language on the tapes is laced with violence, sexism and the N-word. Thirty years ago a sound engineer added a drum beat to the tapes and rap music was born.
• San Diego ex-mayor Bob Filner pleaded guilty in court Wednesday to felony charges involving sexual harassment. The judge placed him under house arrest and ordered Filner to enroll in a twelve-step program. He must stay twelve steps away from all women.
• Keeping Up with the Kardashian stars Bruce and Kris Jenner separated after twenty-two years of marriage. It set off a lot of excitement. The Kardashian girls have always dreamed of someday getting divorced in the same dress that their mother got divorced in.
• The American Medical Association said Wednesday forty percent of Americans will be morbidly obese in fifteen years. The symptoms creep up on you. For instance, you may be morbidly obese if you go horseback riding, and afterwards they have to shoot the horse.
• The White House made plans Wednesday to proceed with immigration reform when the debt and budget battle ended. Here we go again. Under the latest Senate compromise they agreed to place all twelve million illegals in three groups--mild, medium and caliente.
