You say diabeteeze, I say diabuetus: The sugar and corn industries have ended a bitter dispute over the corn guys’ attempt to rebrand high-fructose corn syrup as “corn sugar” with an ad campaign that said “Your body can’t tell the difference.”
And they’re right: Coronary disease feels the same no matter what you ate too much of to bring it on.
First the government came for our drones: Owners of drones will have to register their flying devices with the U.S. government before the end of the year, if the Obama administration adopts a task force’s recommended rules.
A Trump administration would probably keep the database in place, with one change: They’d scratch out “drone” and write in “Muslim.”
Channel-surfing the vast cultural wasteland: In the 2013 movie “Free Bird,” two wisecracking cartoon turkeys travel back in time to the first Thanksgiving in a bid to change history and take their species off the holiday menu.
