Special Delivery: The plans of a Florida mailman who landed his one-man gyrocopter on the West Lawn of the Capitol yesterday were not a secret. A Florida newspaper followed his plan and he had even been questioned by the Secret Service a year and a half ago. The finger pointing and investigations are underway.

Douglas Hughes, 61, flew to the Capitol through restricted airspace in protest over campaign finance laws. He said on his website, “This isn’t my regular route.” His craft had the Postal Service logo on the tail fin.

Hughes’s demand to Congress says, “As a member of Congress, you have three options. 1. You may pretend corruption does not exist. 2. You may pretend to oppose corruption while you sabotage reform. 3. You may actively participate in real reform.”

Switched Off: A federal bankruptcy judge yesterday excused General Motors from billions of dollars worth of lawsuits claiming death and injury as a result of faulty ignition switches. As many as 84 deaths have been linked to the switches that sometimes turned off the engine while the car was moving. The judge said General Motors was not liable for incidents that occurred before the 2009 GM bankruptcy agreement that shielded the company from liability claims for anything that happened before the company was reorganized.

Nation: Thousands of fast-food workers from New York to Los Angeles marched yesterday demanding a $15 an hour wage. Organizers said they had protests in 226 cities. The workers say they can’t make a living on $8 an hour. McDonalds recently raised its minimum wage, but only in the restaurants owned by the chain. Many are independently owned.

NunSense: The Vatican has backed off in its battle with American nuns, issuing a mild rebuke after a three-year inquiry some described as an “inquisition.” In 2012 the Vatican censured the Leadership Conference of Women Religious for spending too much time helping the poor while ignoring Vatican teachings on marriage and sexuality and being “silent on the right to life.”

The new report only calls for the American nuns to “carefully review their spiritual practices and ministry to assure that these are in harmony with Catholic teaching about God, creation, the incarnation and the redemption.”

End Zone: Immediately after his murder conviction yesterday, former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez was sent away for life to a prison only miles from where he starred as a tight end under a $40 million contract. The murder weapon was never found, but video from Hernandez’s own home security system showed him returning after the murder with a gun in his hand.

Hernandez may have shot himself in the foot with his own defense, admitting he was present at the murder but claiming he was not the triggerman. “We were all shocked by that,” one juror said in a press conference.

NuYawk: The New York Times reports that federal prosecutors are looking into the activities of state senate leader Dean Skelos and his son. An indictment would further rock the foundation of the New York legislature. In a separate investigation, former New York Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver has already been indicted.

Social Security: Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen took her last walk down the runway last night in Sao Paulo after announcing her retirement at age 34. She’s believed to be the highest paid model ever … $47 million last year. She’s married to New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who’s better known as Gisele Bundchen’s husband.
