Pope Francis addressed Congress today. He spoke on fundamental values but had to spend 25 minutes explaining to lawmakers what “fundamental values” actually are. I’m glad Congress doesn’t have to emit black smoke every time nothing gets done, the pollution would be insane.
It was nice that they decorated the chambers to resemble the Vatican for this event, complete with a pair of gargoyles behind the Pontiff’s podium. Oh wait – that was Biden and Boehner. Those guys make the British Royal Family look like they do a lot of hard work.
Trump says he’s done with Fox News. They’re now calling on him to drop out of the presidential race and leave it to the guys who know how to run unsuccessful campaigns.
Osama bin Laden’s former bodyguard has been released from Gitmo. America will NEVER give in to the demands of terrorists! Unless they hack our emails, THEN we’ll do anything they want.

And a few things you need to know …
On this date in 1852, a new invention, the dirigible, was introduced. If it weren’t for the dirigible, Led Zeppelin would have been called something else.
Time to get out and hit those “After Equinox” sales!
Researchers have found board game pieces at a settlement going back to ancient Rome. Must have been for the game Monopolii or maybe Operanium.
Carnival Cruise lines returns to Mobile, Alabama (just not with poop streaming down the decks this time)! I’m not saying Carnival is awful but even Somali pirates won’t touch their ships.
The ratings for this year’s Emmy awards were the lowest ever. By the way, they were on last Sunday night.
The world’s first sandcastle hotel opened in the Netherlands this month, featuring walls and decor made entirely of sand. No, they don’t allow cats.

And … A Michigan woman was being made fun of by a pair of harpies in line at a Tim Hortons, so she paid for their coffee to show her daughter how to “pay it forward.” I’d show MY (hypothetical) daughter how to throw a left hook into some woman’s face. Not technically a “good example” to set, but an example nonetheless. We could also learn how to put attorneys on speed dial. That’s pretty useful.
