A lighthearted look at news of the day
Last week’s campaign news, including a State Department inspector general’s report, makes it clear that one of the people running for president this year is reckless and arrogant, and that Hillary Clinton has a lot of problems, too.
---
The inspector general found that, while previous secretaries of state also had personal email accounts for official business, by the time Mrs. Clinton became secretary of state the rules against such a thing had become clear, for security reasons. In other words, Secretary William Seward’s personal emails may have been OK because confederate spies didn’t have the software to read them, but Mrs. Clinton had no such excuse.

Donald Trump supporters are baffled as to why Hillary is so concerned about the negative publicity. If Trump were found breaking rules and compromising national security, his poll numbers would skyrocket.
---
Bernie Sanders, meanwhile, sounds as if he’s hired Baghdad Bob to handle media relations. “Super delegates? I don’t see any super delegates.”
---
A group of fiction writers has signed a petition opposing Trump’s presidential bid. The plot thickens.
---
With security lines lengthening at airports nationwide, the head of the TSA was removed from office last week. He was told to remove his security belt and all other metal objects before leaving.
---
Now that the TSA is understaffed AND leaderless, things are bound to get better.

Wallethub issued a report last week that said Americans will consume 818 hotdogs per second between Memorial Day and Labor Day. In total, that’s 7 billion hotdogs over a little more than three months. Where do all those hotdogs come from? Let’s see, if you take the number of pigs and cows in the country and divide by … no, it’s probably best not to go there.

The same report said home cooking fires increase by 25 percent on Memorial Day. These are usually preceded by Dad saying, “I think I know how to hurry these coals along.”
