A lighthearted look at news of the day:
The new White House communications director apparently changed the lights at press events to make President Trump appear thinner and younger on television. This was just the first step. Next, the administration will try to change the lights in the Senate to make Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh look like someone Democrats should vote for.

Last week the suspense was almost unbearable. People around the world were glued to their TV sets, anxiously wondering whether anyone had the courage and daring to rescue Angela Merkel from Donald Trump.
---
At a NATO summit, Trump said Germany, where Merkel is chancellor, is controlled by Russia because it receives some of its energy from there. Unfortunately, special prosecutor Robert Mueller did not suddenly drop everything to investigate her, as the president had hoped.
---
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made a trip to North Korea to see if Kim Jong Un wants to live up to his promises to end his nuclear program. Kim apparently said he was inspecting a potato farm and didn’t have time to meet with him. Frankly, Kim could come up with a more believable story than that he had found food somewhere in his country.

A potato farm in North Korea was bad news in China. If Kim ever masters the art of making his own French fries, the McDonald’s in Beijing might go out of business.

A man in India began growing the fingernails on his left hand in 1952 and finally cut them last week. His thumbnail alone measured 77.9 inches when he finally got a manicure. Now the nails are going to a museum, where they will be featured in an exhibit of things no one ever would pay to see.

Scientists examining the remains of a 5,300-year-old man whose body was frozen in a glacier now say they know what he ate for his last meal. The meal wouldn’t have stayed in his stomach so long, but he apparently asked the server to super-size it.
