- A man got pulled over by a cop and he was not happy. The cop kept him waiting for one hour while the police officer was writing him a ticket. The reason he called 911 was because he had to wait that long. He was arrested for misuse of 911.

Ray Stagich - The Weather Channel

6:50-7:00:

- Zecca and Vescera are appealing a State Supreme Court decision removing them from the DEM ballot.

The Mayonnaise Taste Test

- Can Bill, Jeff, and Kristine tell the difference between Hellman's Mayo and WalMart Great Value Mayo.
