Funny vacation with Chris Jeon

One Student’s Libyan Vacation, Who Donald Trump Is Fighting With Now, FEMA’s Waffle House Index | Trending Now - Yahoo! News

It's the wildest summer vacation story I've ever heard. Chris Jeon, a 21-year-old American UCLA student, said he "thought it would be cool" to spend his summer joining rebels in Libya in their fight against ruler Moammar Gadhafi. The Los Angeles native bought a one-way ticket to Cairo for $800, and then he hopped on a train to Alexandria, Egypt. After riding a bus to Benghazi, he hitchhiked with rebels to Tripoli. When the Christian Science Monitor's Kristen Chick came across Jeon in Libya she tweeted, "The American kid at front lines today came to see 'a real revolution,' said he was helping rebels but clearly didn't know how to fire a gun." She then tweeted, "He speaks no Arabic, no one knows he is there, he is staying with families/fighters. He is from LA, wearing a lakers jersey. Nuts." The photo of Jeon in a vintage Lakers jersey standing in the middle of a group of war-ravaged fighters says it all. Jeon told the National that when a rebel handed him an AK-47, he asked "How do you fire this thing?" Jeon told the Christian Science Monitor that he lied to his parents about where he was going and planned to return to California at the end of September for the first day of school. But his trip might end a bit early. Al-Jazeera English's Evan Hill tweeted, "Our team in east #Libya said rebels fed up with Chris Jeon, US kid who tried to join, told him 2 go, last seen on pick-up going 2 Benghazi."

I know it's out of character, but Donald Trump is ranting! He took to his YouTube soapbox Wednesday to tell the world what he thinks of Dick Cheney's new book, and it's not pretty. In the video taken in the Donald's office he doesn't mince his words. He says, "I didn't like Cheney as vice president. I don't like him now. And I don't like people who rat out everybody like he's doing in the book." "The Apprentice" star has been using YouTube to voice his opinions on a number of issues. It seems none of his previous bashings have received the amount of social media attention this one has. One tweeter said, "Happy to see that Trump has found his calling as a YouTube ranter."

And finally, you won't believe one of the ways FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Agency) measures the severity of disasters. It goes to the Waffle House! The 24-hour restaurant prides itself on being open all day every day no matter what. After a disaster, FEMA checks out the affected area's Waffle Houses. It even created a complex color-coded system. Green, or a full Waffle House menu, means minimal damage. Yellow, or a limited menu, means Waffle House is using a generator and the damage is serious. And red means Waffle House is closed and the damage is close to catastrophic. Waffle House kept it humble, tweeting "We're so proud of our disaster response team!"
