The announcement of the pair’s appearance was confirmed by WWE on their website. The former Tag Team Champions were defeated last week after Otis power slammed Randy Orton for the victory. It will be interesting to see how Orton and Riddle handle the defeat and look to bounce back.

The thing I like about Porsches is that they’re not big, heavy cars with giant wings that take up the highway. Because the GT2 is rear-wheel drive instead of all-wheel drive, you can drift it in the corners. A powerful two-wheel-drive car is great for doing burnouts at the Dairy Queen. And that’s really what a midlife crisis is all about, isn’t it? Tip: A supercar you can drive every day; great for running errands....

Overall, Griffin has been on NFL rosters in seven seasons for a total of 106 games, but he’s only played in 55 due to injuries and subsequent relegation to backup duties....

In 2009, when GM was on the brink of collapse, the United Automobile Workers labor union agreed to let the company hire people at about half the prevailing hourly wage and with skimpier retirement benefits, bring on temp workers at even lower rates and outsource more jobs abroad. American taxpayers also forked over more than $10 billion to save the company. When GM went public again in 2010, it boasted to Wall Street that 43 percent of its cars were made outside the United States in places where labor cost less than $15 an hour, while in America it could now pay “lower-tiered” wages and benefits for new employees....

There are only two questions at stake, and the answers to both are becoming more obvious to more Americans every day. The first is whether asking a foreign power to dig up dirt on a political opponent is an impeachable offense. The answer is indubitably yes. When the framers of the constitution gave Congress the power to impeach a president, one of the high crimes they had in mind was acceding to what Alexander Hamilton called “the desire in foreign powers to gain an improper ascendant in our councils....
