A lighthearted look at news of the day:
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power decided to dump millions of little black rubber balls into a reservoir as a way of coping with the drought. It worked. Now, instead of worrying about the drought, folks in L.A. are worried about what to do with millions of little black balls in their water supply.

Stephen Hawking is said to be close to solving the “information paradox.” Unfortunately, this has to do with black holes in outer space, not explaining why Donald Trump keeps leading the polls despite the things he says.
---
Donald Trump recently had a Latino reporter removed from a press conference. The reporter later returned to the meeting, which might give Trump an idea how well his deportation plans would work.
---
Meanwhile, Vice President Joe Biden is considering a run for the Democratic nomination. Just imagine a Biden-Trump race in 2016. Somewhere, Pat Paulsen is lamenting that he was born too soon.
---
A new Quinnipiac poll found most people associate the word “liar” with Hillary Clinton and “arrogant” with Donald Trump (followed closely by “blowhard” and “idiot”). When they think of Jeb Bush, the word that most comes to mind is “bush,” as in, “a liar or blowhard in the hand might be better than another bush.”

Burger King has challenged McDonald’s to help it build a new sandwich called the McWhopper. I can see the slogan now: “After eating one of these, you won’t have the heart to eat another.”
---
Burger King floated the joint burger idea as a type of ceasefire in the burger wars in honor of international Peace Day on Sept. 21. I think it’s a great idea. Get enough people in the world to eat nothing but McWhoppers and no one will have the energy to wage war.

China’s stock market lost 8 percent in one day recently, or as Greece would call it, a better day than usual.

Residents of a Provo neighborhood say they’re tired of chasing pigs, turkeys and chickens that regularly escape from a nearby farm. That ought to provide a good story for an enterprising reporter in search of a pullet surprise.
