=== DRUDGE ===
Mike Missanelli, a longtime Philly sports radio voice, was arrested by Lower Merion police and charged with simple assault and harassment after a domestic dispute in Wynnewood, court records show. An affidavit says the argument with his fiancée turned physical over their engagement after a 911 hang-up just after midnight Wednesday: police say she struck him in the chest, he slapped her in the face, and an officer saw fresh blood on her forehead. Missanelli was released on $10,000 unsecured bail and ordered to have no contact with the alleged victim.
=== MADMAN ===
In a magnificent display of modern relationship management, Philly sports radio veteran Mike Missanelli was allegedly involved in a “heated argument” over the engagement — which, in the bureaucratic style only our justice system can love, was followed by police, court records, redactions, a 911 hang-up, and a charge sheet featuring simple assault and harassment. According to the affidavit, the whole thing escalated from words to a “scuffle,” at which point his fiancée reportedly struck him in the chest and his open hand allegedly responded by slapping her face, leaving fresh blood and yet another reminder that when grown adults can’t work out a wedding dispute, the paperwork always gets to be the real star. He was released on unsecured bail and told not to contact the victim, which is comforting, because nothing says “romance is dead” quite like a legal system stepping in to arrange the no-contact period.

Chester Burton "Chet" Atkins, Mister Guitar (1924)June 20, 2026
Atkins got his first guitar by making a trade with his brother, and it was arguably the best deal he ever made. Although he struggled with shyness and suffered from severe asthma—he had to sleep sitting up and often fell asleep still holding his guitar—he became an accomplished guitarist and went on to release several hit records, develop a signature line of guitars, and help create country music's "Nashville sound." What did "Mr. Guitar," as he came to be known, trade to get that first guitar?

Excluding water, tea is the most widely consumed drink on the planet, drunk either hot or cold by half the world's population. The vast majority of tea sold in the West is black tea, made from fermented leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Generally stronger in flavor and more caffeinated than the green and oolong varieties, black tea retains its flavor for several years and has long been an article of trade, serving as a form of currency into the 19th century in what countries?
