Botany News reported on a study Friday finding there are still nine thousand trees in the world that haven't been described or categorized by scientists. New plants evolve with time. Botanists back East recently identified four brand-new strains of Poison Ivy -- Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Columbia.

Donald Trump's ex-lawyer, tormentor and prosecution witness Michael Cohen declared Friday that he's running for Congress. I'm not so sure if he'd fit in on Capitol Hill. Michael Cohen is a certified thief, liar, convicted perjurer and back-stabber, so he may be overqualified to serve in Congress.

The National Retail Federation reported Americans spent $23 billion for Father's Day gifts. In one way, the holiday shows how far behind this country is falling. A home-made Father's Day gift from your kids seems nice, until you realize that kids in other countries make Air Jordan's and i-Phones.

CBS News reported that Donald Trump's promise in a Las Vegas speech to eliminate federal taxes on tips was catching on like wildfire in Nevada's service industry. Let the bidding begin. Democrats countered by making money spent on recreational drugs tax deductible, listed under Snacks.

CBS News aired a video of police in El Salvador burning a pile of three tons of cocaine Saturday in the center of the town square in the capital city of San Salvador. It was the president of El Salvador who ordered the three tons of cocaine to be burned. He could've just gone to rehab like Hunter and I did.

Charles Barkley announced that next year will be his final year on TV as an NBA game analyst in order to retire and try to improve his famously hopeless golf game. It's easy to locate Sir Charles on the golf course, just follow the wounded. Charles Barkley is the most dangerous driver since Ben Hur.
