* The All-New, Super-Awesome 9-11 Improvement Fee (Don’t call it a tax and don’t ask what the 9-11 fee already on your phone bills is for)

* Fresno State Professor Randa Jarrar is back in the news with complaints about the mail she’s received since attaching Barbra Bush and white men 

* Don’t leave your pets in hot cars. Even for 8 minutes.
