Random Friday Morning Thoughts

• Boyd's own Greg "The Hammer" Williams has been absent from 105.3 The Fan for a couple of weeks and no one knows why. Uh oh. 
• I'm not sure the multiple media appearances by the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dallas in light of the Tebow controversy makes anyone want to go to his church. That guy just creeps me out. 
• The Christian Right is being merciless in their dogging of Tebow for "buckling to worldly pressure."  I don't know, maybe he learned that the pastor has said that the re-election of President Obama would "pave the way" for the Antichrist and began to question just how biblical his messages are.
• Jesus spent almost all of his time ministering to the poor, sick, and afflicted. The First Baptist of Dallas just spent $115 million on construction including an elaborate fountain. 
• A drive-by in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip caused a crazy scene and a lot of deaths yesterday morning. It occurred right between the Bellagio and Caesars. 
• The snowstorm moving into the Northeast has been named "Q". So very odd. 
• A teenager in Rockwall sped at over 100 miles per hour on a highway while talking to 911 and claiming there was nothing he could do to stop the car. The whole story has an underlying feeling of, "Yeah, right kid."
• I think "Sixto" is a cool Spanish name. 
• "A rabbit tattoo clinic is 2-4 p.m. Sunday at the [Decatur] Extension Office." What's the purpose of that again?
• These automatic budget cuts ("the sequester") are just a tiny drop in a big budget bucket, right?
• I'm already hearing commercials about learning how to "flip houses." We'll never learn. 
• Just announced: The Blade Runner will be granted bail.
