SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:55 P.M. ET:  

SAME OLD, SAME OLD – FROM FOX:   Sen. Bernie Sanders’ wife, Jane Sanders, is crying sexism against the man responsible for an FBI investigation into the allegations she fraudulently obtained a loan for the Vermont college she once oversaw.  “I find it incredibly sexist that basically he’s going after my husband by destroying my reputation, and that’s not OK,” Jane Sanders told The Boston Globe.  It won't work, Jane.  The "sexism" card is way overplayed.  This case began under the Obama administration.  Nothing sexist about it.

MARTIN LANDAU DIES – FROM CNN:  (CNN) Martin Landau, 89, a character actor who starred in the 1960s television show "Mission: Impossible" and won an Oscar for playing Bela Lugosi in the movie "Ed Wood," died Saturday, his publicist Dick Guttman said Sunday night.  Landau died at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles following "unexpected complications during a short hospitalization," Guttman said in a statement.  An excellent actor whose work on the iconic "Mission Impossible" series helped define an era in television history.  He starred alongside his wife, Barbara Bain.  Now his ex-wife, she lives on. 

EXPLAIN THIS TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY – FROM THE ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH:  Bruce Redding returned home from the gym Sunday afternoon to find an SUV on his roof and much of the front of his house destroyed.  Authorities say the speeding SUV had hit an embankment and launched into the air, like something out of a Hollywood movie, before crashing down on Redding’s roof in the 5900 block of Lillian Avenue. He was told the SUV sped down Mimika Avenue to where that street ends in a T-intersection in front of his home.  “I can see straight through my house,” said Redding, 66, who had recently paid off the home.   I'd like to know the driver's record.  Not every driver can end up on the top of a house.  Maybe it's global warming.
