BIRTHDAY: Sean Connery (born 1930) — Actor best known as the original James Bond. THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 1835 — The “Great Moon Hoax” began when The New York Sun published fabricated stories of life on the Moon. ----- JURY DOOBIE (Not the Bee) A Pennsylvania murder trial went up in smoke after a court officer smelled marijuana in the jury room. Each juror was questioned privately, but all denied smoking or ingesting anything that could affect judgment. The defense requested a mistrial, the judge granted it, and the case will have to be tried again. ROAD RAGE angle: twelve people, one unmistakable smell, and apparently nobody knows how it got there. ----- I TOLD YOU; YOU’LL GO BLIND… (Fox News) New research is raising concern about long-term tadalafil use and glaucoma risk. Tadalafil, best known as Cialis, is a PDE5 inhibitor used for erectile dysfunction and also for urinary symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate. A large observational study found an association with increased glaucoma and ocular-hypertension risk; researchers stress that the findings do not prove the drug causes glaucoma and do not recommend patients simply stop taking it. ROAD RAGE angle: the old warning about going blind finally gets a pharmaceutical plot twist. ----- LANDFILL LANDSLIDE (Fox News) At least 30 people were reported killed after a massive open-air landfill collapsed onto nearby homes in Conakry, Guinea. Heavy rain contributed to dangerous conditions as rescuers searched through debris for survivors. ROAD RAGE angle: keep the treatment respectful—the headline lends itself to wordplay, but the underlying event is a genuine mass-casualty tragedy. ----- SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker Aaron of I had to Say it Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show Supporters: Steve McShane of the Razor Wire News Josh Roberts from New Hampshire and you can always leave a comment by email: bruce@wsmgmedia.com
