I think this means that if you are a heathen then you're more likely to vote Hillary. If you are a heathen with some book learnin', then you are really are more inclined to support Hillary.
The story promoted in the link has something to do with tickets. Every Baylor fan cringed when they saw the cartoon of what could be a woman, alone and crying, as she looks onto the football stadium. Extra cringe for "and that's another Baylor . . . ."
(Actual tweet is here. I think there's a chance they actually take it down.)
How many people do you think were murdered in the U.S. in 2015? (For those interested in this fun little morning piece of information, the just released official answer is at the end. See if you can get within 10%).
Trump was more like Trump than I thought he would be last night. I doubt it hurt him or helped him much.
The possible exception is his interruption of "That makes me smart" when Hillary said he basically doesn't pay income taxes. That could hurt him.
Trump's reference of a hacker being a "400 pound" guy sitting on his bed makes me smile against my will.
Crime Reporting Thought: The phrase "an guns were also found" never even registers with me. I believe everyone has guns.
So when do we learn Dez Bryant is gone for the year? Nine o'clock hour? Ten?
WBAP's Steve Lamb this morning said there has to something up with Dez's knee since they scheduled an MRI after seeing the X-ray. He thought that a clear x-ray would have eliminated the need for an MRI.
A family member once took a Religion course at Baylor and found out that a Baylor football player was in the class. After the player failed a major test (made like a 40 or something) he was heard walking out of class saying, "I guess I ain't gonna be no preacher."
It seems like every presidential debate used to focus on Social Security and the concern over whether America could "afford it" in the future. Now you never hear about it even when we are right in the middle of the time they all feared: Baby Boomers are becoming eligible to collect.
Maybe its because I recently watched Concussion, but I seem to focus in on any helmet to helmet hits when I'm watching games this year.
I made a horrible Rangers prediction a couple of months back. Of all the powers I have as a Sports Expert, pro baseball is my weakest. That's odd since I'm a wiz at college softball predictin'.
From the Update: "COURT’S IN SESSION – Bridgeport Municipal Court will hold jury trials at city hall at 1 today as scheduled." So something is going to happen as scheduled? Am I missing something?
I'm not sure what's up with the lawyer who was the guy "in military uniform with Nazi symbol injures 9 in Houston shooting."
I refuse to (yet) believe that Dak is the "quarterback of the future." We've seen three games. Redskin fans thought the same thing about RG3 after sixteen games of his rookie year.
I'll give him a "T" because I think he's a little torqued up.
When the supervisor showed up, it kind of felt like the scene in Pulp Fiction where Travolta had the gun on the gal, Yolanda, in the restaurant. Samuel L. Jackson, the equivalent of the supervisor, was telling her to be cool because Travolta is so worked up that he might go off. Yolanda had a gun. This guy didn't. (The guy was working as an undercover investigator on a worker's comp case. Not arrested or ticketed.)
There is a crazy heroin/fentanyl problem in Ohio. Seven overdosed and died in Cleveland on Saturday. This comes on the heels of 174 overdose calls in Cincinnati over a period of six days last month.
That Ice-T commercial makes me laugh every time.
LSU fired Les Miles yesterday so they now owe him $13 million. I'd put Art Briles in the top two of candidates since LSU doesn't care about baggage. And in doing so they might get five star quarterback recruit Jarrett Stidham who quit Baylor this summer and has already begun to hang around SEC sidelines.
Pretty rare to see such a stance: The Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association posted a letter "vehemently" opposing the appointment of a prosecutor to the (relatively spare) position of probable cause magistrate. They literally called her "unethical."
Jerry and 50 Cent together just makes me laugh.
Tributes for Jose Fernandez, who died in a boating accident over the weekend, flowed in yesterday. One I heard was heartfelt but mentioned how Fernandez "lived life to its fullest." That kind of stopped me down since being in a 30' speeding boat at 3:00 a.m. -- a stone's throw from South Beach -- would probably be considered as living life to its fullest.
Insightful Cowboy Analysis: (1) That hit that Cole Beasley took should have killed him. (2) We've got an Over-Celebrator in Ezekiel Elliott.
Trump moves closer to Clinton in the polls. This is kind of like the fourth quarter of an NCAA basketball final between Duke (Hillary) and Harvard (Trump). Duke is now winning by 10 as we enter the back end of the fourth quarter. Duke feels comfortable but there's an uneasiness about that crazy and arrogant Harvard which shouldn't even be there to begin with.
We are truly heading towards things you would see this in the film Idiocracy. The Dallas Morning News now promotes a serious op-ed piece with a meme of a muppet.
I've already dropped and smashed a bottle of salsa in the parking lot. How's your morning?
It's easy to forget that Colin Kaepernick's protest occurred before the Tulsa and Charlotte incidents.
There is no reason the authorities in Charlotte should not release the video -- which they are refusing to do. And if they say it could "jeopardize" any investigation, they are lying.
There were far less officers in riot gear last night in Charlotte and the protests were calmer. I think that tactic works. It's just unnecessarily ramping up the tension when police show like an army out of 300.
I still remember that well over a decade ago I went down to the Sixth Floor area on the anniversary of the JFK assassination. (Slow day for me.) Anyway, there were a ton of conspiracy nuts down there out of a total crowd of 300 to 400. Cops then showed up and suddenly started unloading riot gear. A supervisor walked up to the cops and asked, "What the heck are you doing?" And the riot gear was backed back up. No problems ensued.
Extreme random thought: How much do one of those riot gear shields cost? (And what a great job to be a shield salesman. "Now, Chief, if you're in a riot and want the top of the line -- I mean top of the line -- shield, the NCC-1701 Deflector Shield is the best on the market. But I guess who wouldn't want the best if they found themselves in a riot. Am-I-right?")
The Taco Bell in Decatur is being renovated. How do chains handle the employees when they do this? Simply tell the workers they won't be paid for two months -which I think would cause almost all them to not come back? Or do they get paid something in hopes of having them return?
I didn't initially see this photo of Charles Dean Bryant being arrested by UNT police after the body of the Vandagriff girl was found. But the arrest was for a protective order violation in an unrelated case.
Hey, here's a tweet from KVIL asking you to predict the winner of the Bridgeport/Decatur game. (It's a bad omen that they misspelled Bridgeport.)
Really odd deaths in Wise County yesterday when we had two people in two different single car wrecks. Both just simply left the roadway. One happened in the afternoon and the other in the evening.
I debated posting some Charlotte violence* protests but then I saw the dumb dog. I'll go with the dumb dog.
___________ *In an earlier version of this post the word "violence" was used instead of "protests." The editorial staff "failed to maintain the cognitive equipoise that refuses to revile members" of a group simply because of the color their skin. Liberally Lean regrets this error.
