Americans aren't just for or against presidential candidates this year: Color them scared.(Photo: Spencer Platt, Getty Images)
[h=2]Trump and Clinton scare the bejeebers out of people[/h]The thought of Donald Trump as the GOP<span style="color: Red;">*</span>nominee strikes fear in the hearts of<span style="color: Red;">*</span>62% of Democrats, 17% of Republicans and a third of independents. And Hillary Clinton doesn't fare much better in the USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll of likely voters, frightening 60% of Republicans, 8% of Democrats and 35% of independents.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>The poll isn't the only sign of campaigns getting ruff (sorry):<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Clinton barked<span style="color: Red;">*</span>like a dog<span style="color: Red;">*</span>in Nevada and broke the Internet.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>(Speaking of dogs, if you like the purebred variety, here are eight of the cutest at the famed Westminster Kennel Club dog show, which crowns Best in Show tonight.)

[h=2]One of the best athletes in the world thought: 'I'm nothing'[/h]Ronda Rousey teared up telling Ellen DeGeneres that she contemplated suicide after losing to Holly Holm. "No one gives an (expletive) about me anymore without this," Rousey said in an interview that aired Tuesday. But seeing her love, Travis Browne, turned her around: "I need to have his babies. I need to stay alive," she said.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Now, she hopes she's a model of resilience. (She's also a model of swimsuits.)

[h=2]Kanye is too busy talking about being broke to respond to Taylor Swift's Grammy shade[/h]Taylor Swift gave a girl power<span style="color: Red;">*</span>acceptance speech for best album of the year at the Grammy Awards Monday that was really an elegant diss of Kanye West.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>(The seven-year feud rages on.)<span style="color: Red;">*</span>She didn't have to mention his name, but everyone knew she was talking about him. It was a not-so-thinly veiled response to a derogatory line about her in West's new song, Famous. Swift said, "There are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success," but shake it off. West tweeted<span style="color: Red;">*</span>all over the place Tuesday, but no mention of Swift. He's too busy talking about his $53 million debt.

[h=2]Some of the world's biggest oil producers are ready to save your 401(k)[/h]There's been a lot of talk about oil lately. The good news: Gas prices have been falling, which means happiness at the pump. The bad news: Energy prices have also been falling, which has contributed to the stock market's<span style="color: Red;">*</span>depressive funk. Why this is happening: More oil is being refined than the world economy needs. But on Tuesday, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Russia and Venezuela reportedly agreed to freeze oil production at January levels if other oil-producing countries do the same. The wildcards, though, are Iraq and Iran, which don't appear to have plans to slash production at this point.
[h=2]Zika is not a hoax[/h]As fear around the Zika virus<span style="color: Red;">*</span>outbreak grows, so do the conspiracy theories. One claims that a pesticide, not the virus, is behind the birth defects in Brazil. Another claims that it's the whooping cough vaccine. And yet another claims that it's genetically modified mosquitoes. All have been debunked by top scientists, who say such claims are <span style="color: Red;">*</span>nonsensical and<span style="color: Red;">*</span>"irresponsible." The CDC found Zika in the tissue of babies who died of microcephaly.
[h=2]Extra bites[/h]Taylor-Kanye wasn't the only outrage at the Grammys. Paul McCartney was denied entry to Tyga's party (what?!). And David Bowie's son wasn't impressed with Lady Gaga's tribute to dear old dad.
Apple announced it's going to take on more debt. With $216 billion in the bank, why would the world's richest (non-financial) company do this? Delaying taxes, of course.
Yellowstone has started trapping its iconic bison as part of a<span style="color: Red;">*</span>government plan to decrease the population from 5,000 to 3,000, spurred by complaints of Montana cattle owners.
