In Massachusetts, man told police that he called his wife Evil and she responded by stabbing him and slamming him in the back of the head with a coffee mug full of ice cream. Thank you for approving my points, darling. Hurricane Irma is a meteorological monster, it's currently a Category 5 storm and only three Category 5 hurricanes have ever hit the U.S. So we're pretty much going to be without the South from Georgia to Texas for a long time.

Wisconsin lawmakers will soon consider a bill that would strip repeat drunken drivers of their licenses for at least a decade. The Assembly passed the bill last session, but it didn't get a floor vote in the Senate. How serious is this problem in Wisconsin? Real serious. State Department of Transportation data shows that one-third of the state's drunk driving convictions in 2015, the most recent data available, were repeat offenders. Put another way, the 221,576 repeat offenders were more than twice the population of Green Bay. About 52,000 convictions were for a third offense, nearly 2,800 were for a seventh offense or more. Hey, how about throwing them in jail for a decade instead of the driver's license thing? That way they can't drive whether they have a license or not.

Well, outraged to learn that their boss had given money to the ex-KKK leader, many employees simply walked off the job. Several DJs and bands also promised to boycott the bar, with one DJ writing on Facebook that he couldn't condone a venue where the owner supports the likes of David Duke and his messages of hate. Former bartender Dree Kingston said the contribution is vile and it's disgusting. Jack Callahan, who canceled the trivia night he hosted, says per the Tribune that employees got angry messages, calling them Nazi sympathizers. A group of men followed and spit on one worker calling her a Nazi The bar was empty by mid-week, save for a few white supremacists who showed up to support Deroma, and by Thursday the remaining employees decided to shut it down for good. Deroma later told reporters his Duke donation was just basically free speech. He also said the controversy was blown up beyond what it should be. Well, okay, here's the thing, you do have freedom of speech and you can support any candidate you want, but the rest of the world also has freedom of speech and can choose to think that you're an idiot and a moron.

If you want to electronically whisper sweet nothings into your one true love's ear, do it in an email instead of a voicemail. Why? Well, it emails more effective than a voice message when it comes to expressing romantic feelings according to researchers from Indiana University in Bloomington. And that's surprising.
