Random Thursday Morning Thoughts



  • I'm not sure I've ever seen a law enforcement agency release a photo of the face of an actual dead body before, but it happened yesterday.  It worked. 

  • And they first met in Canada. 
  • A couple of stories that got bumped yesterday because of election coverage here. 
    • Horrible. This happened in a smaller town just south of Pittsburgh, PA. 


    • This is not what I was expecting him to look like. 

  • How bad was the beating that Republicans took in Tarrant County? Well . . . 

    • And this is the luckiest man in Tarrant County for the sole reason that he wasn't on the ballot on Tuesday. 

  • So how did Trump respond to the political beating that he received on election day?
    • And he appeared exhausted. 


    • Then later he turned to a really serious issue.

  • This will not be your mother's Texas attorney general: 
    • No more being MAGA-driven. 
    • And then there's this: 

  • The Texas legislature will meet in just a couple of months and there's a whole lot of "back to the drawing board" going on right now. 

  • Ok, that's a funny headline. 

  • Yesterday, there were oral arguments before the nine member Texas Supreme Court when only hours beforehand four of the judges found out they will be out of a job on January 1st. All four dutifully showed up for work.
  • Breaking sports news. Oh, my. 

  • Sports which I bumped from yesterday:
    • Momma let her daughter and her Tommy Boy husband buy out her part of the Mavericks. 

    • A player who followed his coach to the coach's new gig in Argyle was disqualified because an assistant at Liberty coached the kid last summer on 7 on 7. That's apparently against the rules. 

  • Messenger - Above the Fold
