1. Walgreen's drug store chain is considering merging with a European drug store chain and moving it's headquarters to Switzerland in order to lower its corporate taxes -- despite the fact that almost 25% of its revenue comes directly from our government for Medicare and Medicaid patients. SCOTUS says corporations are persons and have religious beliefs. If Walgreen's is a person, then it must be a sociopath without a sense of moral responsibility.
2. Rick Perry on FoxNews floated the conspiracy theory that the Obama administration is behind the surge of immigrants coming across our southern border. He doesn't offer any reason that Obama would want this but vaguely suggests "ulterior motives." Careful, guv'ner. This might be another "Oops" moment.
3. Speaking of Texas, that's the place where a gun license qualifies as a voter ID but a college student ID does not. Hmmm. No mystery there.
4. The latest form of protest from anti-environmentalists is called "rolling coal." It involves spending up to thousands of dollars to alter their truck engines and exhausts systems to produce heavy, black, soot-filled exhaust as a form of political protest. One trucker said "It's my way of giving them the finger." There's a Facebook picture of a truck backed up to a Prius, enveloping it with its cloud of black exhaust; another with a sign on the back that says: "Prius repellent."

Just another week in the Land of the Free.
