    Iran's supreme leader is not happy about this McDonald's knockoff in Tehran

    The supreme leader of Iran went off about American influence in his country, saying that even with a newly struck nuclear deal, they will "block all attempts of penetration of Iran."

    Drug Trafficking Pigeon Busted in Costa Rica

    Guards at La Reforma prison in Costa Rica saw something that did not look quite right: A pigeon alighting in the jail's courtyard with a stuffed plastic bag attached to its body. It turns out, reports The Telegraph, the bird with the baggie was a homing pigeon carrying cocaine and marijuana into the facility. Authorities think its likely handler inside the walls found a way to smuggle the bird out, where someone else packed up the unusual air-drop shipment.

    In Iraq, I raided insurgents. In Virginia, the police raided me.

    I got home from the bar and fell into bed soon after Saturday night bled into Sunday morning. I didn’t wake up until three police officers barged into my apartment, barking their presence at my door. They sped down the hallway to my bedroom, their service pistols drawn and leveled at me. It was just past 9 a.m., and I was still under the covers. The only visible target was my head.
