Random Friday Morning Thoughts

• I thought that Parliamentarian Karina Davis seemed pretty cozy with Dewhurst during the Wendy Davis debate. Turns out her husband was Dewhurst's senior policy advisor on redistricting in 2011.
• "Zebra Mussels Larvae Confirmed In Lake Bridgeport."
• Current Twitter followers for Wendy Davis: 111,289.  For wannabe governor Greg Abbott: 16,892.
• NBA draft thoughts -- read #4 if nothing else: (1) The greatest afro from last night -- that's a cap on top of it, (2) The ESPN crew had no idea of trades being made until 15 minutes later, (3) Take it to the bank: There is no way that Dallas signs Dwight Howard, and (4) Great Wise County trivia: The first player taken in the first ever NBA draft was Clifton McNeeley who graduated from Slidell, Texas and Decatur Baptist Junior College. He opted not to play professional  basketball and would later be principal of Bridgeport High School.
• Another Fort Worth police officer arrested for DWI. This happens about once every four months. 
• Obscure tweet this morning about the Doobie Brothers appearing on Fox and Friends: "Someone needs to check and see if Rerun has a tape recorder." I feel like I might be the only other person in America that understands that. 
• Amarillo paper: Elaine Hays, who "grew up in Bridgeport", is considering a run for Congress. She's 55. Anyone know her maiden name?
• Zimmerman trial: (1) The defense lawyer got off to a rocky start with that dumb joke, but he's done well since then, (2) This seems like a crappy case for the State so far, (3) I figured Nancy Grace would take Zimmerman's side but I was wrong -- I forgot she's always against whomever is accused regardless of the facts. 
• The Chico school board deadlocked 3-3 last night on naming a new elementary school principal. They will vote again when board member Pancho Redwine can attend. So it comes down to him. In trying to make a point that "every vote counts", I tried to find how many votes he won by last year. But I can't find it. Anyone?
