GOOD MORNING, BLOGTOWN! All young girls beware this pup's off the chains, I'm a gritty little something here, puttin' down pain. LET'S GO TO PRESS.

A demonstration is planned today on the Lewis & Clark campus following racist comments (not dissimilar to those that caused trouble at the University of Missouri) made on the social media app Yik Yak. Our Dirk Vanderhart has the story.

In a related story, universities across the country are holding #Black Lives Matter rallies to protest and call attention to racism.

Thanks to that highly annoying storm that rolled through town yesterday, over 7,000 are still without power. (And heavy rains are expected to return tonight!)

Police raid an apartment just north of Paris in search of suspects from last Friday's terrorist attack, which leads to a woman blowing herself up with a suicide vest, and another man being killed by a grenade. Suspected mastermind Abdel-Hamid Aba Oud was the intended target—though authorities are unable to confirm if he was in the apartment. Seven people were arrested.

As Republicans continue to stupidly and cruelly twist this tragedy to their own advantage, President Obama is striking back, saying the following while attending a regional summit in the Philippines:

“We are not well served when, in response to a terrorist attack, we descend into fear and panic. We don’t make good decisions if it’s based on hysteria or an exaggeration of risks.

“When individuals say we should have a religious test and that only Christians, proven Christians should be admitted, that’s offensive.

“I cannot think of a more potent recruitment tool for Isil [Isis] than some of the rhetoric that’s been coming out of here during the course of this debate."

New York taxi owners are suing the city for allowing Uber to unfairly operate without the same licensing procedures.

Everybody say bye-bye-bye to former Republican candidate Bobby Jindal who is dropping out of the race, because of his woeful polling numbers (a measly one percent). Saaaad trommmbone!

Speaking of polls, voters are evenly split on which candidates are best able to handle the coming scourge of terrorism, and they are Hillary Clinton and... Donald Trump? (Again, saaaad trommmbone!)

This is change: Salt Lake City has elected their first openly gay mayor.

After 44 years, Carly Simon reveals who she's singing about in her song "You're So Vain"—and as it turns out, no one longer gives a shit.

Now let's examine this crazy WEATHER: Sunny and partially cloudy today, but the heavy rains return tonight!

And finally, this kid comes up with an ingenious idea to sell her little brother to a pet store. (Hey! In her defense, there really is something wrong with him!)
