Do you know anyone who has butt dialed someone else without realizing it? Anyone who "pocket-dials" a third party during a conversation does not have a reasonable expectation of privacy, the Sixth Circuit ruled. Beware of butt dialing blunders.

That person at the top of your contact list is the one most likely to get an unintended call from your very own butt, which may have a mind of its own.

The US Mexico border was the latest place where the outrageous and infamous Donald predicted Hispanics would love him because as president he'd grab jobs back from overseas and give more opportunity to those who live in the U.S. legally. City Images spoke with Josue Rivera, a Hispanic veteran, who said Trumps remarks are insulting and wondered who would be nuts enough to vote for him.

Trump's in-and-out border visit came as he continued to dominate the GOP presidential race. Some political pundits are predicting the outcome of this populism billionaire candidate's camp pain could turn out to be another like Ralph Nader, or Ross Perot.
