Nurse fleeing California wildfires puts horse in car, picture goes viral
Leave it to human ingenuity to solve almost anything. Lauren Mesaros, a California nurse, needed to flee from the Tubbs Fire going on in Napa, Sonoma and Lake counties in Northern California. Mesaros also needed to get her three horses, including her pony Stardust, away from the flames as well. The problem? The trailer only held two of the three horses. Mesaros' solution? Put Stardust in the car. “He actually walked right into the car like a dog would,” Mesaros said in an interview with SF Gate. Mesaros said she put Stardust into the back of her 2001 Honda Accord, aided by her friend Carol Spears, whom Mesaros described as “a horse whisperer.” Mesaros' sister-in-law posted the picture to Facebook,

David Letterman Rips Jimmy Fallon (Again) During His Kimmel Appearance
“For the purpose of this conversation, I have nothing but the highest regard for all of the talk-show men and women,” David Letterman told Jimmy Kimmel Tuesday night. “Even Jimmy Fallon. I’ll include him.” The original Late Show host was paying Jimmy Kimmel Live! a visit during the show’s week-long trip to Brooklyn-and while this wasn’t the first time Letterman had subtly jabbed the Tonight Show host, it was also just a small part of a digressive, often hilarious conversation that touched on, among other things, Letterman’s decision to give Conan O’Brien a horse and whether he misses being a late-night fixture. You’re probably wondering about the horse. During O’Brien’s visit to Stephen Colbert’s

This little girl was supposed to be a flower girl, but 'napping is life'
Six-month-old Rugbie was crowned flower girl for her aunt’s wedding, but when it came time for her to make her way down the aisle, sleep prevailed. On Reddit, her father, Joe Morman, posted a photo of his hilarious baby girl making her way down the aisle fast asleep, falling back in the wagon pulled by her mom. “About 20 minutes before the wedding she was getting tired, so I was holding her and singing to her so she would go to sleep and get a quick little power nap in before the wedding,” Morman explained to Yahoo Lifestyle.

Conservative commentator Tomi Lahren asked Wednesday what NFL players were protesting when they take a knee during the national anthem, saying you could get "a hundred different answers" about what the gesture means.

And then further more, I would
