Random Thursday Morning Thoughts




  • I think I heard that President Obama stayed at The Omni hotel last night in downtown Dallas.
  • I also heard this morning that the White House rents out an entire floor for the President as well as the floor above and the floor below. Truth or myth?
  • After the ceremony at the Bush Library, President Obama will go to Waco around noon via helicopter. 
  • A picture this morning of what seems to be thousands of white chairs set up for the opening of the Bush library.
  • Troy Aikman is already there with a "Hey, Now."
  • I heard yesterday that this is the first time five U.S. Presidents will be in the same place. I didn't believe that to be true, but I haven't heard anything to the contrary. 
  • My mind short circuits whenever I hear an advertisement or report of a wreck at "380 and 75/Central".
  • Phil Donahue was on the Mark Davis Show yesterday and he was great. He was absolutely speechless when Davis said he didn't have any problem with the government listening in on private cell phone calls. 
  • There was a time capsule buried in Bridgeport in, I think, 1974. I wonder if anyone does (or will) remember where exactly it was buried. 
  • What a boring group of names in tonight's NFL Draft. I'll probably have it on anyway. 
  • It sounds like there has been a ton of money raised for the victims of West, Texas. Serious question: Just who is in charge of the distribution of that money?
  • From the Update: "The North Texas Singles Club meets at Spicy Mexico in Bowie at 6 p.m. Saturday. All single adults are invited. Mini will be your greeter." Mini?
  • Did I just see this posted on Facebook by a Decatur school board candidate: "Just listened to Anthrax's cover of 'Smokin' by Boston. Wow!!!!!"
