When an observatory feels like it has to disclaim that aliens caused their sudden and unexplained shutdown, what are we to think? Aliens, that’s what we think! After the Colin Kaepernick Nike ad an Arkansas man decided to sit out front of a Nike store and wave a “thin blue line” flag. What did the Mike store do about the cop supporter?

Gambling expansion will be a battleground in the upcoming election. Disney and Native Americans will face off against gaming interests for the ballot measure that should be handled by the legislature.

Is the accusation credible to you? Welcome to Monday on BML.
