- Sarah Palin was on the Today Show this morning. When did she get so angry? (Oh, and she'll be at Costco in Plano later this month!)
- Amazingly I've never seen it, but I caught most of the first episode of the Band of Brothers series. Men in their twenties fighting in combat in World War II are worthy of all the credit they can get.
- I've kept away from the Richie Incognito controversy but did watch his Fox interview yesterday. What a meathead. I'm thinking about compiling of list why I hate the NFL.
- Texas has 2 losses. Oklahoma has 2 losses. Texas beat Oklahoma. Oklahoma is ranked above Texas. Ummkay.
- High school football Idiocracy: There are nine teams which qualified for playoffs with just two wins. And two teams who made it in with just one win! Schedule
- Greg Abbott "knocked on doors" on Saturday. That has to be a publicity stunt because it certainly is not a practical way to campaign.
- "I thought smoking pot was illegal. Everybody's smoking pot. What's up with all the pot?" - Kellie Rasberry tweet while attending a music festival this weekend.
- Two more earthquakes near Wise County over the weekend. I can't believe I even type a sentence like that.
- I read most of the Texas Monthly issue on the current Texas oil boom over the weekend. Fantastic stuff. Midland rising. But the last place I would want to be is in that city's Petroleum Club hanging out with those oil guys.
- If rolling out affordable health care doesn't go smoothly and initially costs me a bunch of money so that people in the future have coverage, I have no problem with that. How can anyone have a problem with that?
- That being said, I do laugh at all those who scream "My premiums are going up!" Hasn't that been said every year for the last twenty years? The last forty years?
- Saw the elder George Bush and Bob Dole on separate newscasts over the weekend. Both seem to be in their last days.
- Whatever nutcase posted yesterday that Ted Cruz will be the next president, can we bet on that? A far right winger will never win the presidency and will never even get the Republican nomination. It's a no-brainer.
- "What do you think about Ted Cruz?" should be a starting point for any friendship/relationship. There may be no better and quicker way to size up a person.
- I took the under on the Cowboys wins being less than 8.5, and I was beginning to get nervous. Not any longer. But in their defense (pardon the pun), when half of your defense is injured you don't stand much of a chance.
- Tyrannosaurus dance celebration!
- Johnny Football's stats are better than last year at this point. I have no trouble with that man being handed the Heisman.
- While jogging my normal path over a normal bridge over a normal creek yesterday, I spotted eight ducks casually swimming by. I stopped down and just watched.
- UT had a defensive lineman have his knee destroyed (watching his face was heartbreaking) and had their star running back blow out his Achilles. In addition, I bet I saw three to four concussions over the last two days which left players motionless on the field. I love the sport, but it is getting harder to watch.
- Lee Harvey Oswald's wife has been remarried for over 50 years and lives a quiet life in Rockwall.
- I loved Game Change - a book about the 2008 Presidential campaign. And now everyone is reading the sequel about the last election. It's driving me crazy that I'm behind.
