    MASON, Ohio – What's the deal with Snoopy? The world's most famous beagle celebrates his 75th birthday this year amid a continued stretch of pop culture stardom – and I don't use the term "stardom" lightly.

    A controversial Northern Kentucky attorney won't be practicing law in the area any time soon after he threatened multiple women, filed frivolous lawsuits and seemingly tried to pay off a doctor during a custody dispute.

This was an interesting tidbit about medical marijuana that I didn't even think about until last night. With all the regulation around medical marijuana, where can these dispensaries and growers actually go? https://t.co/cbS2BEEpnB

The fact that the mother of the man Javon Coulter killed has forgiven him and stays in touch with him is mind blowing. Could not be me. Which is part of what makes this story incredible. https://t.co/tsVUJazKan
