TV Show 'Bones' cancelled
After being on the air for 6 years, "Fox's "Bones" is coming to an end this weekend. The show produced near 250 episodes of what some consider offensive crime cases. One of the main characters was Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel). A majority of the viewers considered the show to be too gory or offensive and have boycotted the program. Due to this, not many people are upset about the cancellation. One exception is Morgan O. John, a 20 year old "bonehead" from Louisiana. Bonehead is a term the public has made up to describe fans of the show. Morgan doesn't really enjoy the connotation of the title and hopes that she will not be called a bonehead now that the show is losing popularity. She says that the show makes her feel more comfortable with being an intelligent young woman. She's left her hometown to go to school in Texas for anthropology. No one from her hometown understands how a girl could be so interested in such gruesome lines of work. Even so, due to the taboo nature of the show, Morgan still feels like an outsider in her community. Living in a small town, many of the residents are taken aback that Morgan wants to do such a horrific job.

Spicer, clearly enraged by April Ryan, the Washington bureau chief for American Urban Radio Networks, shocked the entire White House Press Corps when he told her "That is not the proper way to show respect to a man in authority." A cacophony of remarks and questions ensued. Spicer added, "Some people just didn't get proper home training. It's probably a cultural thing. She needs to look to Condoleeza Rice for a good role model. Now, does anyone ELSE have a question?" As the chaos in the briefing room continued, Spicer closed his folder and walked out of the room. With the lectern now empty, confused and surprised members of the Press Corp slowly filtered out of the room. As of press time, calls to the White House Press Office were not returned.

To Nurse or Not to Nurse,That is the Question
With so much controversy around breast feeding and women in the workforce, women in the public spotlight tend to air on the side of caution. While agreeing that breast is best, super mom's and star athletes Sarah Wiltshire and Asha Francis agree that if one is going to have a career in public spotlight, and for the sake of their brand, decorum is the best option.
"It's about being a good parent,role model and example. Many women in the workforce cannot take time, or have the option to be off work to breastfeed on demand, when there are other options, and this shaming movement of if one chooses to not breastfeed or for some reason cannot has to stop," stated Wiltshire.
"I agree, " Francis chimed in," some mothers are unable to Nurse for whatever reason.And just because one cannot or chooses not to isn't important. What is is that is not the only bonding time or the only way to bond with an infant."

Wells Fargo Attempts To Gain Control Of Your Money -- Wells Fargo has begun to put into play it's plot to control consumer spending. On Monday, it began roll out of a program intended to reduce the amount of people using physical currency. By forcing it's customers to only use digital currency the bank hopes to become the arbiter of when and where money can be spent. Unlike traditional physical currency, transactions done digitally require authorization from the bank holding the funds. Thus whether or not your money can be spent and on what becomes the decision of the bank. But it isn't only Wells Fargo moving in this direction. The U.S. Government has long been pushing banks to move in this direction. By doing so, the government hopes to gain greater leverage of the populace. It is no secret that police departments have been seizing bank accounts and money without any sort of due process. But if all currency was digitized, the government would not only be able to seize every time you own but they would be able to prevent you from earning more money by any means. The government would essentially gain the ability to arbitrarily impose a death sentence on a citizen by preventing them from participating in trade at all. Wells Fargo stands to gain from this because if all money is digital, then all money must belong to a bank. This is just the first step towards a more authoritarian American.

Educators Prepare for next Immigration Daze at the Schoolhouse
Last January, Carmen Fanina, NYC's schools chancellor, decided enough was enough, regarding illegal (and, maybe even some legal) immigration. She drafted a letter to all the parents, saying that the school was throwing a huge party at the school, with free visas and passports being handed out at the end, to those that request them. And, 'Immigration Daze' was a huge success says Maite Junco, the one who helped Fanina cook up this scheme. "Their kids brought 'em, and we got 'em! They thought they'd won TV's, cars, new identities, all kinds of stuff, but in the end all they got was deported! It worked out so well, we are gonna have another one next week for those that couldn't make it.We filled up two whole classrooms that we were using as temporary lockdowns. Incredible! We are pioneers!" Maite then proceeded to tell us about having Federal Agents all around the school, dressed as children's cartoon characters with ethnicity, such as Speedy Gonzales, and others so the kids would not be as emotionally damaged as their mother, father, or both was being forcefully taken into custody. Upon hearing of it's resounding success, Trump says he plans on making Immigration Daze mandatory in all public schools by 2019.

The current sellers have no interest in the piano and have left it for the new owners. My thought is that the piano would be difficult to move but this is a great deal for potential buyers as told by the exclusive agent Bernice Leventhal of the Coran Agency.

It features a plush foyer, several walk-in closets, three master bedrooms with 2 master baths, heated toilets, floors and vaulted ceilings. This is a wonderful place to call home.

The law allows concealed handgun license holders of at least 21 years of age to carry handguns on campus, including to dorms, dining halls, classrooms, or any other university building. In an unusual twist, the students decided to "dress up" their weapons like sex toys. The reason? According to Jared Jin, the march organizer, they wanted to show people the absurdity of the liberals by dressing up guns like sex toys.

Joe Biden said President Donald Trump was indeed, wiretapped but not by the US. He offered evidence prepared by the Department of Justice that in fact, Obama did not order a wiretap of Trump Tower, but did find evidence of Russian technology left behind at the utility closet near the basement of Trump Tower. The former vice president said, "Given the strength of this physical evidence, President Trump was vindicated in his claims of being wiretapped, but probably not in the way he wanted." Obama, via a spokesperson, denied that he wiretapped Trump Tower after the current president tweeted the accusation. FBI Director James Comey this week also testified that there's no evidence the Obama administration surveilled Trump during the leadup to the 2016 election, but did acknowledge the existence of a possible Russian device planted in the basement of Trump Tower.

Baseball Is The Least Favorite Sport to the Mets' Granderson
"Even for 10 minutes Curtis Granderson can't restrain himself. On a recent morning here in spring training before the start of his 12th full major league season he was talking about how at age 36 he will handle the rigors of chasing down balls in center field. As he talked he asked for a brief timeout and reached for the 12-ounce water bottle he had left on the floor beside his locker. It's breaks like these that support Granderson's recent statement that baseball was his least favorite sport, but that he only plays it for the money. This was his sixth bottle of the day and it wasn't yet noon. There would likely be another six before the day was done. "You always see him just crushing water said his fellow outfielder Michael Conforto, who is 12 years younger than Granderson. Granderson drinks by the sip. He tries to take all the time he can from playing the sport. Thus, a 24-pack of 12-ounce bottles is always adjacent to his locker.
