- I've been so confused by the Republicans refusing to admit they are responsible for shutting down the government. Let me quote the great philosopher Jon Stewart: "Do you think Obamacare is a big enough threat to shut down the government? Fine. But own it!"
- That freedom loving new government in Iraq has executed 42 people. Who do they think they are? Texas?
- "FORT WORTH, Texas - One of the officers involved in deadly shooting of a Fort Worth homeowner has been fired for falsifying a police report unrelated to that case." That now dead homeowner was in his driveway and the now fired officer had said he fired because the homeowner pointed his gun at them. No reason to now disbelieve that, right?
- One of the gang of Manhattan bikers accused in the beating of a motorist is represented by Gloria Allred. She would be on my short list of the most shameless attorney in United States history. Her representation appears to have only one criteria: Is a TV camera involved?
- Rhome is pretty wheels off, right? According to the Update last night a council member left in the middle of a meeting. Leaving only two members left -- not enough for a quorum.
- The Fort Worth Star Telegram finally provides coverage of Bridgeport's Big Ed Beckley today.
- Tomorrow I'll watch the Texas/OU game and look forward to seeing Bob Stoops and Mack Brown meet on the field before the game. They've done that 14 times. The 15th will probably be the last one.
- Couple of legal eagles took me to task for praising the criminal justice system of the Bahamas yesterday (see below) because they pointed out the range of punishment for Ecstasy possession there was four years. Yeah, but the actor got a "fine only" sentence for over a dozen X pills. When's the last time you saw that in Texas? In fact, that's an illegal sentence in Texas (look it up.)
- The Fifth Grader in the House had me help her with her science homework last night. Ugh. But I got to learn what the difference is between an element, a mixture, and a compound.
- The Israeli defense minister was in Fort Worth yesterday to visit the Lockheed plant. Israel intends to buy 19 F-35s. Iran might want to step up it's plans to produce a nuclear weapon.
- No front page today. That site is down again.
- You know who Chris Arnold is? If you do, you've got read this article just published which calls him out for plagiarism. CBS/The Fan is going to have to address this.
