Here are some other highlights and headlines that I noticed over at Ransom Notes Radio:
Michelle Obama continues her hapless attempts to stir up support for Democrat candidates. During a campaign stop for Mark Udall in Colorado, she seems to have lost track of who she was talking about. Joe Biden is expected to step down as her speech writer in coming days.
Charlie Rangel says ISIS is not a major threat to the security of the United States. Which – in a way – is kinda true. After all, ISIS is not in congress.
The Queen of England sent her first tweet yesterday. (Why do I picture looking flummoxed as she searches for the hashtag on her typewriter?)
Authorities are trying to track down anyone who came in contact with the Ebola patient in New York City. Right now they have it narrowed down to anyone who rode a certain subway, took a number of cabs, visited a Brooklyn bowling alley, or lived in the patient’s apartment building. Or, to be more specific, they’ve narrowed their search down to about half of Manhattan.
After the terrorist attack on Canada’s Parliament, super-model Chrissy Teigen took to twitter in an effort to whip-up support for more gun control. I guess that the backlash she received encouraged her to avoid calling for increased “hatchet-control” in New York City.
German employees at US airbases are about to get a 2.4 percent pay increase. US Service personnel on those same bases will get a 1 percent raise. You’re welcome, Germany.
