This may be the best news of the day. Headline from msn.com: “McDonald’s is working to introduce a $5 value meal.”

Headline from nypost.com: “NJ school board prez admits to having 6 wives, including 4 he met when they were 18, in civil sex abuse trial.” Use the Mormon defense, sir.

Good news out of Brooklyn. Headline from foxnews.com: “Middle schoolers get taste of stock market, investing through financial literacy class.”

From FN regarding NYP: “Major publication accuses Biden of telling ‘lie a minute,’ compares him to Pinocchio.” Even Billary will never approach Quid Pro Joe’s line in the box score, although, to be fair, at his age many of the lies may simply be faulty memory, stuff he actually believes.

From FN: “Drew Carey will never retire from ‘Price is Right’ hosting gig: ‘I want to die on stage’.” I get it. I occasionally think keeling over while outdoors selling books wouldn’t be a bad way to go.
