Random Thursday Morning Thoughts


  • The WBAP crew was shocking as they discussed gays in the Boy Scouts shortly before 7:00 a.m. this morning: "Scout leaders would lead meetings wearing pink" and "It'd be hard to earn that Interior Design badge" to name a few. And they weren't laughing. 
  • The jury in the Wise County criminal negligence trial deliberated all day yesterday and went home without reaching a verdict. Based on the jury notes I saw, I think they know what they want to do but are having logistical trouble. I'll explain after the verdict. 
  • The Ticket has made a drop out of the goat scream from the Super Bowl Doritos commercial, and I laugh every time.
  • The fact that the post office delivers mail to the door of every home in America is really mind-boggling.
  • I turned over to see the final few minutes of TCU's upset of #5 Kansas last night after I learned the score had been 22-13 at halftime. (But, man, there were a lot of Kansas fans at that Fort Worth game.)
  • From today's Update: "REMEMBER NOT TO FORGET — The North Central Texas chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association meets 10 a.m.-noon today at the Decatur Civic Center."
  • The crazy Westboro Baptist Church might picket Chris Kyle's memorial service at Cowboys Stadium.  I think we might actually see violence if that happens.
  • The Family Pup had her boyfriend over yesterday. Mrs. LL sent a pic.
  • A former Los Angeles police officer is on a killing spree in that city.
  • I've heard more than one person say that the CSCOPE curriculum in school involves "Muslim indoctrination."   Mainly from Tea Partiers.
