- Phone service was a mess in Wise County yesterday.
- Netflix streaming service at $7.99 a month is too cheap, isn't it? But maybe they know what they are doing as the company's stock is set to explode this morning. (The concept of Blockbuster now seems archaic.)
- Sean Hannity was advocating water-boarding the Boston Bomber last night. How does he just ignore that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is a U.S. Citizen? Hannity may not like it, but how can he just pretend that a fact does not exist?
- A phrase being thrown around last night on the news shows was that a "first year law student could prosecute this bomber case." They might want to tap the brakes on that that.
- From the Update: "Yolanda Wallace was named principal of Prairie View Elementary School in Rhome." That name reminds me of Marcellus Wallace telling Yolanda to "be cool" at the end of Pulp Fiction. Edit: That was a huge error. Jules said it.
- I can't do this justice, but some spare New York State Senator was on Piers Morgan last night and it turned into the Theater of the Bizarre. Morgan tweeted afterwards, "Quite extraordinary interview with @ball4ny - called me 'dude', mocked my accent, and challenged me to an arm wrestle. Weird man."
- "I don't remember absolutely not much of anything." - Very confusing statement from a lady from West, Texas who was the focus of a news segment last night by Fox 4.
- President Obama will visit Baylor University for the Memorial Service for the West victims on Thursday. From the main sports blogger for the school: "I shouldn't have to say this, but I will: if anyone boos President Obama at the memorial service Thursday, I will shame you into the dust."
- Mrs. LL got sucked into some show called Awkward on MTV. I watched about fifteen minutes and did a lot of head shaking.
- The Travis County DA agreed to a quick plea bargain of 45 days in jail after her DWI arrest. Something sounds fishy. Anyone see how much time she'll actually do and whether it will be satisfied through the very loosely governed "work release"?
- I heard yesterday that a Lifetime movie will be made about the Jodi Arias case. Any chance it will be completed before the trial is?
- It's NFL draft time on Thursday which means we are all going to be beaten down the phrase of "draft the best athlete available" which is obvious yet impossible to implement without error. If they could identify the best athlete there would never be any first round busts.
- Ron Washington was caught smoking in the dug out the other day. Funny.
- Not many people raised an eyebrow about the Boston police searching house after house without consent last Friday.
- Edit: A rare response from me. Some guy, suggesting I was wrong, keeps asking me to remember my post of "Let's See What A Constitution Loving Senator Says" where I took a shot at Lindsay Graham suggesting the defendant not be read Miranda. I don't understand. The bomber was read his Miranda warnings yesterday by a federal judge. And anything the cops learned from prior questioning can't be used against him unless there is a Miranda exception to be used (which is highly unlikely.)
