The first Republican debate is this Thursday on FOX. 80 minutes worth of introductions and pointless opening statements and 10 minutes for questions. I vote we settle this with a dance off. Or a bar fight.

Mark Everson has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission about being excluded from Thursday’s Republican Debate. The Commission’s first comment was, “Who?” I mean seriously, who is this guy? His face should be on a milk carton.
Meanwhile, Vice President Joe Biden is seriously considering a run for president. This is great news because I’m already having to recycle my Donald Trump material. Speaking OF The Donald, he says if his presidential campaign fails, he will “ride into the sunset.” Thelma and Louise have offered to drive.

Congress is on their five week recess. I thought I’d let you know, since it’s so hard to tell the difference from when they’re at work.

A 40 foot high balloon shaped like one of the Minions broke loose from a fairground in Ireland and blocked a busy roadway. The traffic just kept Dublin and Dublin. When Minions finally rule the world, Ireland will be remembered as the first country to have fallen. But the odds of that happening are one in a minion.

A robot named HitchBot, who relied on human kindness to travel the world while Tweeting out it’s locations via GPS, has been found smashed and decapitated in Philadelphia. It’s the Cecil the Lion of the robot world.

And a few things you need to know …

It was this date that the Revenue Cutter Service was formed, which eventually became the U.S. Coast Guard. To their credit, not a single inch of our coast has ever been stolen!

On this date in 1926, the U.S. purchased the Virgin Islands, passing up cheaper deals on the Bimbo Islands and the Floozy Reef.

John Stewart steps down as host of The Daily Show on Thursday, leaving millions of hipsters with no other news source.

Max Von Sydow is joining the cast of Game of Thrones! Ian McShane will have a role as well! There are so many acclaimed actors tied in with GoT it has gotten to the point where the show is kind of a barometer for an actor’s skills. “Helen Mirren? Oh she’s good … just not ‘Game of Thrones’ good.”

A 110 year old New Jersey woman claims drinking three Miller High Lifes (High Lives?) and doing a shot of Johnny Walker per day have made her immortal. Well … immortal till at least next Tuesday.

A South Carolina woman claims to have a photo of the famous Bishopsville Lizard man (a legend in their area). Look, Lizard Man is a myth; like Bigfoot or a man under 30 who is not afraid of commitment.

And a couple of shameless plugs:

This Saturday I’m emceeing Hops for Hope benefitting Pathways, which is the only day center for homeless women and children. Party starts at 2 at Avondale Brewery. It is kid friendly, pet friendly and definitely adult friendly. Live music, Saw’s BBQ, bouncy houses. Just wear a hat and sunscreen because that huge tree at Avondale fell down. Tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at the door. Get yours at hopsforhope.swellgives.com.

AND…

Remember to save the date on August 25th for the Edge Theatre screening of my film Lullaby Procedure. The Edge features Steel City Jumps so your kids can go play instead of having the 3 miles of intestines that Josh made for Lullaby haunt their dreams. I’ll find out what that costs (the jumpy thing, not the dream haunting). Party starts at 7:30! More shameless plugs to come.
