There were echoes of The Godfather during last night's episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, as one Don waged war against another.

The first was Don Henley, the Eagles singer-drummer and longtime solo artist whose newest album, Cass County, kicks up the countrified dust of his childhood days in East Texas. With Cass County making its debut this Friday, he's been hitting the promo circuit hard, performing "Praying for Rain" at last week's Americana Honors and Awards show before heading to New York for an appearance on Colbert's program. There, singing the barroom-blues ballad "Too Much Pride" within walking distance of Trump Tower, Henley got political, throwing the name of presidential hopeful Donald Trump into a song about unchecked ambition and outsized egos.

"Now listen, Mr. Trump," he rasped at one point, backed by the gospel harmonies of four backup singers, the saloon-style piano of Late Show bandleader Jon Batiste and the sonic swell of more than 12 sidemen. "Empires rise and empires fall/You stick around here long enough you'll see it all/Now it looks like it's gone nationwide/Too much pride."

Coincidentally, Trump will be a guest on tonight's Late Show. Meanwhile, Henley — who mentioned the GOP frontrunner's name two times during the four-minute song — is gearing up for a solo tour that kicks off October 3rd, one week after Cass County hits stores. The shows will likely focus on County's tracks, although a bonus performance of "New York Minute" during last night's Colbert taping hints that older songs will dot the setlist, too.

Dr. Ben Carson clarified his comments saying he would support a Muslim president as long as that person rejected the radical "tenets" of Islam – adding that criticism over his remarks stems from a "PC culture" in America. http://bit.ly/1iutKlX

A 78-year-old Costco shopper in Burbank, Calif., allegedly was punched in the face over the weekend after getting into an argument with another customer taking samples of Nutella waffles from a cart, KTLA reported.

Derrick Gharabighi, 24, of Burbank took multiple samples when the older man told him to take only one, police said.

Gharabighi is accused of punching the older man in the face. Police said the unidentified 78-year-old man was hospitalized with swelling and a one-inch cut.

Gharabighi will appear in court later this week after being arrested on suspicion of elder abuse.

Beloved Bronx Bakery Brings Back ‘Pope Cookie’ for Papal Visit to New York City



Artuso's Pastry Shop, a nearly century-old institution in Bronx, New York, is marking the upcoming visit from Pope Francis with a special cookie, featuring his own face. Artuso’s honored Francis’ predecessor the same way, replacing its popular Yankees cookie with a pastry for Pope Benedict, who paid a visit to Yankee Stadium in 2008.

“On a normal day we would sell about 25 Yankees cookies per day,” manager Natalia Corridori told News 12. “On this day in particular, we took 200 Pope cookies with us (to Yankee Stadium) and they sold within the hour.”

Now that Pope Francis is on his way, Artuso’s will mark the Catholic leader’s visit with his very own baked likeness — although the bakery uses a 3D printer to get the job done, so the results are pretty accurate. Already, Francis’ cookie already has plenty of fans, even international ones.

“People send them to Central America, South America, [and] Spain, said co-manager Anthony Artuso. “People love the Pope, and they love our cookie.”

Colbert then noted that Reagan supported a number of policies and principles that are anathema to modern conservatives, in particular a tax increase and amnesty for illegal immigrants, and asked Cruz, "Are those aspects of Reagan something you could agree with? Raising taxes and amnesty for illegal immigrants?"

The GOP presidential candidate replied, "No, of course not."

The two continued the debate, with Cruz contending that "Ronald Reagan also signed the largest tax cut in history" and Colbert returning, "But when conditions changed in the country, he reversed his world's largest tax cut and raised taxes when revenues did not match the expectations."

"So it is a matter of compromising," Colbert added, before asking again about compromise and joking, "Would you believe that it's important not to call the other side the devil?"

New French Law Passed: All New Rooftops Must Be Covered With Plants Or Solar Panels

http://myscienceacademy.org/2015/09/20/new-french-law-passed-all-new-rooftops-must-be-covered-with-plants-or-solar-panels/

A new law that was passed that mandates that new buildings in commercial lots need to have either plants or solar panels on the roof. Having a garden on your roof sounds like a paradise, one that’s easily obtainable and should be happening all over the world. Plants create an isolating effect to help reduce the energy needed to heat or cool houses.



They also absorb rainwater to help prevent leaks, provide a home to small critters and insects and most importantly it connects us back to nature. Combining modern society with the natural world is exactly what we need to do and this is a good start.

Originally, French environmental activists wanted the law to cover the entire roof but they decided to start with participially covered roofs to see how it does.

Solar panels on the roofs of businesses is amazing because it helps reduce the amount of energy they use while creating sustainable, renewable energy instead.
