Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts


- The Messenger is reporting that the westbound lanes of 380 will open next week. Just like a thief in the night.
- The now former DA in Rockwall is going to hoosegow for four years (I can't imagine.) But you're not being told that he'll be eligible for parole once his real time plus good conduct time equals 15 12 months. Still, that's a long 15 months.
- Kids find the parachute of D.B. Cooper? I doubt it.
- American Idol news on Fox 4 beats me down.
- "Chelsea Clinton Bristles at Lewinsky Question" (youtube video)
- President Bush issued a few pardons (15) yesterday. Most of them are so odd - like the guy in Denton who served three years probation in 1985. Why him? I've got a whole file room of people I could recommend.
- An 18 year old Florida high school cheerleader died during breast surgery.
- I got an email inviting me to attend a Barnett Shale Expo. It's sponsored by the energy companies. Uh, no. Nor would I attend a "Know Your Rights" seminar sponsored by DPS.
- During an in-game interview with injured Dirk Nowitzki last night, Mark Cuban snuck up behind him and made the "rabbit ears" gesture. How that 10 year old man-child ever made a dime is beyond me. (Jump to last two seconds of this clip if interested.)
-The families of the victims of the Virginia Tech Massacre are being offered $100,000 to forego suing the State. Huh? Why? And some of the cash starved lawyers are saying they will reject it. Sheesh.
- Ann Curry is on my TV right now. Life force sucked out of me.
