Miami won the NBA Championship for the second year in a row. Some people can't stand the heat. I tell them to stay out of the kitchen.

A new restaurant in Southern California requires women to wear high heels. They're optional for men.
A new survey says that 70% are on at least one kind of prescription medication. That's a fun word to say: med-i-ca-tion. Dooba-dooba-dooba-dooba...
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have named their new baby girl North West. Probably about the only direction the kid will get from those two parents.
I suppose it could have been worse. Oh, wait. Worse is her middle name.
Kim Kardashian & Kanye West named their new baby girl North West. To be honest, I was hoping they would go in a different direction.

Now a spokesperson for Paula Deen is saying she was talking about fashion and "didn't like nickers." Yeah, uh, right...

Starbucks raised their coffee drink prices by 1% on Tuesday. In a related story, some water splashed out of the Pacific Ocean.
Sesame Street cut 10% of their staff due to budget cuts. This decision was brought to you by the word "red" and the number -10.

A new study says a majority of Americans hate their jobs. I'd tell you more, but I've got to get back to my letter where I'm telling off my boss.
Why is the U.S. government after Edward Snowden? Because he apparently had access to lots of secrets, including the fact that Kanye and Kim were going to name their daughter North West. To think, it could have been avoided.
