Random Monday Morning Thoughts

  • The Six Flags ad campaign has added a second weird dancing guy -- kind of a Minnie Me character. It's just weird.
  • A bomb in Times Square, one along a marathon route in Pittsburgh, and one in Colleyville on the same weekend. Coincidence? Yeah.
  • Underrated movie that I saw on cable this weekend: One Hour Photo.
  • A mini-series that should have been great but is a flop: The Pacific.
  • Tiger Woods' golf wheels flew off last week and he didn't make the cut for, I think, the sixth time in his career. I wonder if there's a chance he's completely, completely lost it?
  • Twenty-five shot dead in Mexico over the weekend. Heck, I'd want to get out of there, too.
  • Motorcycle death in Sanger over the weekend.
  • The Rangers started the weekend in last place and ended it in first place. (And pitchers C.J. Wilson, from the bullpen, and Colby Lewis, from Japan, are fantastic.)
  • Our DA's office has already hired two prosecutors to replace the two that left last week.
  • I wrote a couple of weeks ago about a DPS trooper who was convicted of shaking down motorists for cash. Now, after a about a week in jail, the 42 year old is dead.
  • Denny Crane threatens frequent Messenger letter to the editor writer Ken Hughes?
  • That oil slick in the gulf is bad and getting worse. But I can't believe the Fox News crowd has started a "where was Obama's response?" campaign.
