Random Monday Morning Thoughts




Released this week, 2016.


  • A domestic incident involving a shooting at a school parking lot on Friday afternoon left a man, woman, and child dead. 


  • A wreck last night near Alliance Airport killed one woman. Two children in the car were injured. 

  • One 11 year old shot another 11 year old in the leg last night.  

  • Tiger Woods was arrested Friday afternoon after a wreck on Jupiter Island in Florida. I'm not sure how they can prove DUI since they didn't go to the trouble of getting a search warrant for his blood.  But Florida does have a separate offense for the mere refusal to provide a sample of urine after a DUI arrest if that arrest was based on probable cause. 


  • A faithful reader wrote me and said that the billion dollar verdict out of Dallas last week in the case of a physically abused child had a Decatur connection: The child's grandfather graduated from Decatur High in 1993.
  • Dateline South Carolina. A school resource officer whacked a baseball player in the head with a stun gun.  Video.

  • I guess we didn't have a Cuban Missile Crisis after all. 

  • Oops.

  • The war:
    • Not great.

    • A U.S. AWACS plane was demolished by an Iranian ballistic missile and/or drone attack at the same air base.

    • The Houthis have now entered the conversation. 

    • There's no way Trump sends in the troops, right? Right?

    • The FBI director's email got hacked by the Iranians.


    • Good grief, I'm agreeing with Ann Coulter now.

  • This would have been a headline in The Onion a few years back. No longer. And Trump was dancing on the balcony during it.

  • The quote was strange enough even before I read the chyron. Video.

  • The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Birthright Citizenship this week.  In the meantime, Pam Bondi appeared on the talk shows to clear it all up: Video

  • The Business Second™. "Dallas-based Patel Family Office is part of a $1 billion deal to develop 50 hotels in Saudi Arabia by 2029, the firm said Thursday."

  • We found a candidate for the worst judge in the world based upon how this one treated an IT guy in Houston.  Video.

  • Liberally Lean March Madness Pick 'Em Standings.
