- Yesterday I mentioned the crazy post on Facebook from some guy who had some hot opinions about the reasons behind the Kaufman killings. While a little bizarre, I didn't think much of it. Then I heard the guy got arrested later in the day for "terroristic threat". Let me tell you, anyone with an inkling of criminal law knowledge knows that guy didn't commit a crime. And when the cops start arresting people for Facebook posts they find offensive, we should all be very frightened.
- But you won't see any outrage about the arrest from any group which is constantly crying about how the Constitution is being trampled upon in this day and time. Those strict constructionist political groups tend to base the level of their outrage upon the content of the speech which led to the punishment. If they didn't agree with it, that First Amendment isn't quite as important any longer.
- The Omni in downtown Dallas is basically a billboard. Look at it this morning in honor of a spare ESPN radio show broadcasting from there.
- The campaign to have the Rangers crowd be "completely silent" when Josh Hamilton comes to bat will fail miserably. The boos, on the other hand, will be deafening.
- The Family Pup was bugging the heck out of me in the middle of the night and, once I woke up, I noticed she was panting. Being advised earlier in the day that panting is the sign of labor, I woke up Mrs. LL, apprised her of the situation, and went back to sleep. When I went downstairs this morning, Mrs. LL was asleep on the floor in sleeping bag with the Family Pup and a Baby Family Pup beside her.
- Even though it has only recently become illegal, I'm seeing more and more K-2 cases.
- Unemployment drops to 7.6%. (Cue the "cook the books" crowd.)
- Baylor won the NIT last night. I think I would have rather had them make the NCAA Tourney and get bounced in the second round.
- I saw a commercial last night for some branch of the military with a graphic in the corner reading "Shazam This" So an app that is made to identify songs can be used to identify commercials and provide a link to more information? It' like the Cue Cat on steroids.
