Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts

• The guy who wanted to kill Jews but instead ended up shooting three non-Jews in Kansas last weekend once ran for the Senate and produced some wild White Power radio commercials. That prompted him to become a guest on the Howard Stern Show. 
• Did I get up to watch the Blood Moon? Not a chance in the world. Any chance I see a thousand pictures of it today?
• WFAA announced the "will host a live, on-line roundtable discussion w/ Texas GOP Lt. Gov. candidates @DavidHDewhurst and @DanPatrick on May 7 @ 10:30a.m." Online roundtable? On a Wednesday morning? Will this thing have video? Are we not going to have a live, prime time debate between these two knuckleheads which would be highly entertaining?
• I learned a little bit about KISS over the last month since they were recently inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame (how ridiculous is that?) but what I've primarily learned is what a tool Gene Simmons is.
• I'm not the only one "on" to Joel Osteen. The producer of the Mark Davis show researched every post he made on Facebook and Twitter and learned that the last time he mentioned "Jesus" was over one year ago.
• A lawsuit has been filed by a former waitress against a strip club in north Fort Worth claiming the club should have known that a manager "had a propensity towards violent behavior".  Her lawyer, curiously, doesn't practice personal injury or civil litigation but represents himself to "exclusively" practice criminal defense law.
• The more I read about this Bundy Ranch case, the more I'm stunned that the Right, who supports "The Rule Of Law", is on his side. The guy blatantly disregards court orders.
• I couldn't believe what I was seeing last night when Sean Hannity interviewed the kid who is the basis of the book and film Heaven Is For Real. I had never heard the story, but the kid, age 15, described how he "died" when he was age four and then saw God and actually talked with Jesus. He was, however, a little sketchy on the details.  You know, Hannity has become a political Joel Osteen. (Side note: The movie amazingly stars Greg Kinnear and Thomas Haden Church.)
• That shocking US Airways tweet yesterday (look it up but tread lightly) gave rise to some hilarious responses on Twitter. 
• Hey, where's my nemesis who said the Rangers pitching staff would be fine once everyone gets healthy? Colby Lewis returned to the mound last night and the Rangers lost 7-1.
• Bizarre Foods on the Travel Channel had a show from DFW last night. That might have turned the Fifth Grader in the House into a vegetarian. (The part with the cow head probably did it.)
• Big news over the weekend when geologists linked fracking to small earthquakes in Ohio.  However, I was all set to tap the brakes and give Dennis Prager credit yesterday when he said that one of the researching geologists was actually married to the founder of an anti-fracking group called Frackfree America. That would be newsworthy. But I looked it up and found that wasn't close to the truth. There was, in fact, a reference to that lady in the story but she's just married to some Youngstown State geologist who simply commented on Ohio's new regulations. There's nothing that said he was a geologist who took part in the study by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Prager. (Said in a Seinfeld "Newman" voice.)
• Google has bought a drone company. Look out. 
• Northwest High School has hired Marble Falls' offensive coordinator as its head football coach. The coach at Marble Falls is Todd Dodge. Did they consider him? 
• You've got to read the first item in the Update as to what happened at the Alvord ISD school board meeting last night. Cue the Benny Hill music.
