11. Daniel Craig after he admitted he'd rather ''slash'' his wrists than play 007 again, still reserves the right to decide his future with James Bond and hasn't signed up to the next movie.

The Good:

1. Benghazi was a fraud and the Planned Parenthood thing was also made up.

The Bad:

1. The House is divided. Kevin McCarthy withdrew himself from the Speaker roll before the vote could take place. Now there is no clear person for the seat. The best choice, would be Paul Ryan, but he has seen the writing on the wall and declined nomination. Now the “Republican Freedom Caucus” is making rumblings of shutting down the government in November unless they get their way in a bid to defund medicare and Social Security.

   3. http://www.vox.com/2015/10/9/9488835/house-freedom-caucus-explained

2. An then… The strangest of all, Rep. Charlie Dent (R-PA) is suggesting that the way House Republicans will defeat the extremists in their party is to give Democrats power by forming a coalition to elect a bipartisan Speaker of the House.

The Ugly:

1. Not one, but two school shootings TODAY…

2. The President has been making noises loud enough for congress to hear that he may take executive action on enforcing some gun control in the wake of the incident in Oregon last week.

3. The Guardian put out a lovely little infographic, that tallies up 994 mass shootings in 1,004 days, not including the 2 from today… It’s depressing…
