Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce announce engagement

Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift and NFL tight end Travis Kelce announced their engagement  on Instagram after two years of dating.

I bet you thought bunnies were nice, normal, cuddly critters — except for the vorpal bunny of "Monty Python" fame. Turns out, we were all wrong. According to The Associated Press, there’s a group of rabbits in Colorado with grotesque horn-like growths that may seem straight out of a low-budget horror film. Hide your kids, hide your wives and dig out your VHS copy of "Night of the Lepus." This is a disturbingly strange reality of bunnies gone bad. It’s what AP refers to as a "mostly harmless" Shope papillomavirus, which causes wart-like growths that protrude from their faces like metastasizing horns.

Cute and cuddlies looking like something out of a Stephen King story is not "mostly harmless" in my world. I love this line from The Washington Post headline about the story: "They’re harmless, experts say." Experts probably also ran away screaming, so I wouldn’t trust their opinions.

Understandably, the rabbits have earned the appropriate nicknames: "Frankenstein bunnies," "demon rabbits" and "zombie rabbits." Perhaps the virus or bug is also the cause of the myth of bunnies with antlers known as jackalopes. Or maybe they are behind the whole thing. In the meantime, I’ll stick to calling them Bugs Bunnies.

2. Don’t say that! For the geezers among us (ahem!), we recall when strict parents would threaten to wash our mouths out with soap if we used bad words. According to Politico, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is one step away from instituting that bad word policy. 

The left-leaning political site wrote a piece about a new memo outlining 45 words and phrases party members shouldn’t say. It ran under the headline: "The ‘woke’ words Democrats should cut from their vocabulary." This, after popularizing the same stupid terms for years.

The list reads like a bingo card for people watching a Democratic convention. Here are the highlights: "privilege … triggering … microaggression … body-shaming … cultural appropriation … the unhoused … birthing person … cisgender … LGBTQIA+." There are others nearly as bad, but you get the idea. 

Matt Bennett, Third Way’s executive vice president of public affairs, said they are trying to "get Democrats to talk like normal people." Note: He didn’t say act or pretend to be "normal people." He just wants them to talk that way.

National political correspondent Adam Wren added, "It’s worth noting that in certain parts of the country, a lot of people, especially now, do talk in this language and use the phrases Third Way recommends against." Of course, he failed to mention that Politico is one of those places.

3. Travis and Taylor:I’d be remiss if I skipped out on the biggest global stories of our time. No, not the Middle East, Ukraine or China. I’m talking about the engagement of pop superstar Taylor Swift and Super Bowl-winning NFL tight end Travis Kelce. Leave it to The Washington Post to deliver a ridiculous commentary in a click quest. They ran this headline: "Did Travis propose to Taylor on the wrong knee? We went to the experts." Just what the happy couple "kneeds."
