  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorFox News reports a Massachusetts felon pleaded guilty to illegally importing plutonium from Russia and selling it to sixty-seven customers, per the Justice Department.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSixty-seven customers. I have covered arms bazaars on four continents, Chip. Even those had a return policy and a loyalty card.

  3. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMassachusetts, my favorite state today! Sixty-seven customers means somebody had a really good Yelp page, and I hope the reviews were glowing.

  4. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSorry, glowing is a bad word choice.

  5. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIt is the worst word choice you have made this week, and you once called a refinery fire cozy.

  6. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNext, the New York Post says fantasy football injuries are no reason to cry. Hit the waiver wire, folks!

  7. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAlso, the Post says the Yankees are decorating the coffin versus the Rays.

  8. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA coffin decorated by the New York Post. The only outlet that could make a baseball loss sound like a Viking funeral.
