1. 'Mad Men' Finale Gets Unanimous Thumbs Up From Coca-Cola's Board of Directors (Probably)
AMC's groundbreaking period drama series, Mad Men—the story of one man's decade-long journey through life and love en route to creating the world's most iconic television commercial—drew to a close last night, leaving heartbroken fans thirsting for a show equally as cool and refreshing.

2. Obama Taking Away Local Police's Ability To Defend Themselves Against Invading Armies
Barack Obama is announcing a ban against the federal government providing military-style assault rifles to local police departments. This sounds like a recipe for disaster to me. I can't imagine how a police officer is supposed to enforce jaywalking statutes without a semi-automatic Zastava M70AB2 rifle with a pistol grip in his hand.

3. Real Life Briefly Turns Into Episode Of 'Sons Of Anarchy'
Nine people are dead, 18 are injured and another 165 are behind bars after a massive brawl between three rival motorcycle gangs broke out in a Waco, Texas restaurant yesterday. Chains, knives and guns were all used as the melee spilled out into the parking lot and police became involved. The really sad part of all this is that it is likely to give the town of Waco a bad name in the public eye.
Everyone in my biker gang is really depressed today.

4. Majority Of Republican Party Currently Running For President
Sen. Lindsey Graham just announced his intention to join the other 374 members of his party who are seeking the Republican nomination in 2016. "I'm running because of what you see on television," he explained to the press. "I'm running because I think the world is falling apart." That's silly. The final Mad Men episode wasn't that bad.

5. Louis CK Gives People Who Like To Be Offended Golden Opportunity To Be Offended
People across the country continue to debate whether or not a comedian should be able to go on television and tell the kinds of jokes that they personally do not like to hear. This time, it's because of Louis C.K.'s controversial monologue on Saturday Night Live, which touched upon issues of racism, child abuse and other topics that should never be spoken of in public, lest they become real.
Maybe Louis CK should try jokes that everyone can laugh at. Like how New York & L.A. are different or the poor quality of airline food
