Papers last week revealed that the NSA had bugged offices at the United Nations in New York, as well as European Union offices in the city. And it's all because President Obama really wants to know what Angela Merkel is getting him for Christmas.
Also, he wants to know if she's a terrorist.
In the UK, Verizon and Vodafone recently restarted talks about a possible buyout of Vodafone. Well, Vodafone has been talking this whole time and just didn't know that Verizon dropped the call.
In Florida, George Zimmerman's wife, Shellie, was sentenced for perjury related to Mr. Zimmerman's bond hearing. While pleading for mercy, Mrs. Zimmerman was heard to argue "hey, it's not like I killed anyone!"
In Russia, police stormed a gallery and confiscated a painting of Vladimir Putin dressed in women's underpants. Presumably it's been added to Mr. Putin's personal collection. Or else it was destroyed as it did not feature him riding a flying elephant, nor was he depicted with a super-humanly giant package.
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas are splitting up, at least long enough for the two to "evaluate" their relationship. Perhaps Mr. Douglas will re-evaluate the wisdom of telling the world his wife's vagina is carcinogenic.
He should have at least added "habit-forming."
Researches at Columbia University believe they have found a "key to reversing the aging process" in humans. It involves sports cars and banging someone just old enough to drink alcohol.
A study at Johns Hopkins found that in America at least 1/3 of all emergency room visits involve beer, which means 2/3 of all emergency room visits are less fun than they could be.
And finally, representatives from American Airlines and U.S. Airways complained yesterday about government interference in their merger. They told the Justice Department that delaying their trial until March could jeopardize the merger and would be a severe hardship for the companies. Yeah, UNEXPECTED DELAYS SUCK. Thanks for noticing.
And thanks for reading!

Thursday Morning Monologue - June 15, 2011
T-H-U-R-S-D-A-Why? Because time is ceaseless, kiddos. It keeps on moving. As we all do. But we can still stop and enjoy a blog, right?
Okay. Here's something. A U.S. Airways mechanic stowed away on a recent flight in a part of the plane called the "Hell Hole," because it is not pressurized or heated during flight, and there's no oxygen. Apparently that's still preferable to sitting in the cabin....
In politics, Rep. Peter King, has been taking fire from groups upset about his congressional investigation into the danger of Muslims in America. He's surprised at the anger the investigation has caused, adding "it's getting really tough to be a racist in America."
The hacker group LulzSec opened a hack-request telephone line this week, so users can suggest targets for the group. That's right. A telephone line. Apparently their fax line is broken.
In St. Louis, the local Catholic church cancelled a fundraising event co-sponsored by Hooters, because the Catholic church would never recover from the scandal of being linked to adult women in skimpy outfits selling mediocre chicken wings. That's clearly the worst thing that could happen to them.
In Pakistan, the military arrested and interrogated five informants who sold out bin Laden to American intelligence agents. So, we're clearly on the same team here.
In Hollywood this year, the producers of the Oscars said they plan to nominate five to ten films for best picture. This is expected to put a huge strain on the motion picture industry, as they were only planning to make three good movies this year. Four, tops.
In Utah, a family was forced to move out of their new home after they discovered it was infested with thousands of snakes. Samuel L. Jackson has been contacted.
And lastly, this week a Seattle man suspended himself from a hot air balloon 2,800 feet in the air with ropes attached to piercings in his back. He said "it's better than U.S. Airways."
Okay, that's all for the week from me! Do come back again tomorrow and see what's up! And if you have a chance, try some fresh fruit!
Have a great day!
