The Scoop for August 1, 2018

My favorite army surgeon, Alan Alda, just revealed that he’s been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. But the weird thing is what his first symptom was… Throwing a pillow at his wife. Yeah, apparently he was acting out a dream, which can be a symptom… if that’s the case, if you ever see me eating donuts with a slingshot riding a donkey wearing sunglasses and a glitter vest, it’s time to make an appointment. For me and the donkey.

I’m not saying that the president is a bit out of touch with how the real world of you and I work, but yesterday he said that in order to buy groceries you needed to show a photo ID. I don’t know about you but I’ve never had to show and ID to buy bananas. Then again, he was in Florida and they’re weird down there, so maybe.

Speaking of Florida, a guy was chasing people around a store with a live alligator. Crazy right? But Dana Perino from Fox News put it all in perspective for us. She flat out called the guy an A-hole. And you thought there was no truth in media.

Bonus Scoopage:
There’s a “Fantasy Island” movie is the works. The original show ran for seven seasons on ABC from 1977 to 1984, and starred Ricardo Montalban and Herve Villechaize. . . who are both no longer with us. Just please, please, please don’t mess this up.
