Random Friday Morning Thoughts

The bunny with his hand over his heart will always be funny to me. 

---

• Breaking:  Iranian state TV is reporting that a U.S. F-15 was shot down in southern Iran. Two pilots ejected. Search underway.  (The U.S. has yet to confirm. Axios is running with the story.) This image is also unconfirmed:
  
  
  
• She wasn't fired yesterday because she wasn't willing to do anything Trump wanted her to do in his quest for "retribution." Oh, no. She was willing. It was just that she was horrible at the execution of his unlawful orders. 
  
  
  
• Remember the Texas woman who was arrested for murder in connection with an abortion when there was no law - then or now - making abortion a crime of murder for acts committed by the  pregnant woman?   Well, there's nothing she can do about it. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Then pay it. 
  
  
  
• We are in the middle of a war, right?
  
  
  
  
  
  
• I feel like I should know what all of this means, yet I have no idea. (But it sounds more insane if you pretend "DOJ" is just referring to some other rapper and not the Department of Justice.) 
  
  
  
  
• If you commit an election denying crime in this country, you also somehow have super powers when it comes to accountability. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Trump is talking crazy again this morning about the war. 
  
  
  
• The Tiger Woods DUI (alleged) video was released:
• "I was just talking to the president." Sheesh. And he says it in such an arrogant tone. 
  
  
  
• Tiger carries a money clip!
  
  
  
• I don't who they brought in to do the field sobriety tests, but she didn't know what she was doing. I have no idea what this test below was, and I've been involved in  DWI litigation since 1991 and watched well over a thousand or more DWI videos. (Someone online called it the "sitting walk and turn test.")
  
  
  
• The Texas Rangers announced a new Nacho Sombrero Hat which is as dumb a it sounds.
  
  
   
  
• This is a fun fact.  Fletcher, of Fletcher's Corny Dogs fame, wa in the Bonnie and Clyde movie. 
  
  
  
• Extremely nerdy legal stuff:  The Michael Morton Act, which requires Texas prosecutors to turn over evidence to the defense, is about to be significantly limited. Right now, the law provides that prosecutors can't simply say, "We didn't know about the evidence we didn't turn over because the police had it and didn't tell us about it."  But yesterday the Court of Criminal Appeals signaled, by granting a PDR, that it was about to reverse itself on that very issue it decided just three years ago.   
  
  
  
• Lauren Whitener Clock: 6 years and 274 days.
