Today is Presidents Day! 

- The day we set aside to honor George Washington and Abraham Lincoln by saving 50% on a new mattress.

- But to be fair... When I think of a mattress, Bill Clinton does come to mind.

RIP... Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. He was found dead of natural causes in his room at a Texas resort on Saturday. He was 79. Even Liberal commentators were saying over the weekend that he was one of the great legal minds in the 240 year history of the United States. 

*****

Democrats want a liberal replacement for Scalia, Republicans want a conservative...

- ...and most Americans think Judge Judy is the most qualified. 

*****

Scalia's death means there are only eight justices on the High Court which could leave decisions stalled at 4-4. 

- In the event of a tie, they will go to the time honored method of Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Kanye West sent a tweet out over the weekend asking people to pray for him because he is $59 Million in debt.

- Not even the Pope is going for that one.

Oddsmakers say tonight's Grammy for Album of the Year will likely go to rapper Kendrick Lamar's "To Pimp a Butterfly". 

- I haven't been this excited since 2006 when the Oscar for Best Song went to "It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp. (True!)

Whole Foods announced that they plan on incorporating Tattoo parlors into some of their stores. 

- We know two things: The tattoos will be overpriced and gluten free. 

- Company Execs say they didn't really think about it, the idea just came to them organically. 

- So now you can get a Free Range Chicken and a Tramp Stamp at the same store!

*****

In Canada, Doritos sold Valentine's Roses made out of tortilla chips. 

- Nothing says "I Love You" like a bouquet covered in powdered nacho cheese.
