Are You Smarter Than a Ph.D. In Physics Candidate?
Probably not. But I bet you can tell a better story.

Edit: After 24 hours, I went back and looked at this and realized I posted the wrong tweet. The intended one was Jeb Bush hosting George P. Bush at the Ol' South Pancake House.#TotalFail
Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts
- I forgot to mention last week that Greg Abbott on The Ticket just casually mentioned, "In case you didn't know, I'm in a wheelchair because a tree fell on me." Hey, buddy, that doesn't make you FDR.
- I've dogged Dave Carney, the political consultant for the failed Dan Dewhurst campaigns (both against Ted Cruz and Dan Patrick) as well as they very failed Rick Perry presidential campaign, for years. I found the guy on Twitter last night and discovered he tweets like a drunken sailer. Abbott is using him now and will win, but it is despite of what is probably the worst campaign advisor in the history of Texas.
- From the Update: "The Decatur City Council on Monday voted unanimously to move the city’s trick or treat observance to Thursday, Oct. 30, to avoid a conflict with the Eagles’ final home football game the following night, Oct. 31." What? Everyone knows you can't jack with Halloween! This is a horror movie in the making!!! Hide yo wife, hide yo kids!
- Nope, Ebola is not a problem in the U.S. (I did a double take this morning when Channel 11 had a story about a potential new case of a person who came in contact with the infected nurse. Then I saw this sentence: "According to the emailed note, the Alcon employee was admitted to the hospital on Sunday and is being monitored for Ebola symptoms. However, the man has not shown any signs of being sick." Good grief.)
- Hey, that goofy Texas Supreme Court judge is sending Nazi messages!!!
- Man, I've been sick the last two days.
- Kindergarten teacher quits to twerk on Vine and make six figures. (Borderline NSFW.) I doubt this is a good sign for our country's future.
- Alabama's Tommy Lewis, the guy who famously came off the bench to make a tackle in the Cotton Bowl, has died. Photo impressions: (1) Are we sure that guy would have scored? (2) Everyone in the background looks like a gangster.
- I haven't been to a concert in years, but I wish I would have seen Paul McCartney last night in Dallas. (Video clips.)
- Hot check book-in photo from Denton. That sad young lady is a Bonnie Raitt starter kit.
- Our Internet went out yesterday which also meant our TVs went out. Couldn't even play back DVR shows. Throw in that the new washing machine won't be delivered until later this week which caused Mrs. LL to take a trip to the laundromat, and it was a dark day indeed. I'm not sure how we survived.
- "Laundromat" is a funny word.
- Funny picture below once you read the headline to the far right.

Random Monday Morning Thoughts
- The Wright Amendment expired yesterday, and it's about 20 years too late.
- I'm not sure why the Republicans in Wise County didn't confess error in the appointment of the Elections Administrator and then reconvene and appoint him again. Right or wrong, it seems like a less drama filled resolution.
- That was a crazy storm last night. Sounds like 287 was shut down near Rhome due to downed power lines in the middle of the night.
- Sports: (1) I stuck with the Baylor/TCU game when Baylor went down 58-37 with 11 minutes remaining. I could hardly cheer the win because I was in so much depression, and I'm still not sure how it happened. Baylor ran 109 plays! (2) I'm about to get the Sports Genius Title removed from me because of my Cowboys over/under prediction. But I'm certainly not alone. (3) And I would have bet big money that the the Aggies would have won over Ole Miss and Auburn would have won over Mississippi State. (4) When Barry Switzer makes an appearance on the The Ticket there is no question that you can hear how he is getting old.
- Have I ever mentioned how much I think George Carlin was overrated? Crude. Not witty. Anyone can be crude. (<-- by="" li="" nbsp="" random="" the="" thought="" very="" way.="">
- I'm a sucker for "Wichita Lineman" by Glen Campbell but I had no idea that R.E.M. covered it. (Ditto.)
- I've always wondered why Lane Akin was behind the petition that had Terry Ross removed as a Wise County Commissioner.
- For 30 years I've written my accountant once a year about my taxes. I met him for the first time on Friday. (He thought I'd be taller.)
- Man, Clay Jenkins has to be sweating Ebola right now.
- Whenever a lawyer donates over $694,000 to a DA's race in San Antonio, be very afraid.
- Ebola Deaths vs. Motorcycle Deaths, who ya got?

The fact that she is a Catholic school teacher does not help 2014's run for an "And Another" Championship.

PETA Wants A Chicken Memorial In Texas
Animal rights campaigners PETA have requested permission to install a 10-foot high roadside memorial for chickens killed when an 18-wheeler overturned in Bryan last month.
Thousands of chickens were stacked up on the transporter in cages which were smashed open when it crashed September 30 at the intersection of U.S. 21 and FM 2818. More.
Oh, come on. I don't mind a plaque for a bunch of dead chickens but a TEN FOOT memorial?
(PETA is good at bits.)
