Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts

• So odd: Bill O'Reilly last night spent about thirty seconds on the murder charge against The Shield's Michael Jace but he played a clip of the guy's Black Panther rant from Forest Gump. It seemed like the sole purpose was to rile up his white audience. 
• Sports and Sports Media: (1) Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury was on The Ticket yesterday and he really comes across as "Coach Bro" --- but I like the guy. (2) It's stunning that former Ticket personality T.C. Fleming was let go after only two months in Pensacola as host and program director. (3) I may never hear from my Baseball Nemesis again. (4) The NBA lottery was last night. Mediocrity will keep you out of it. (5) Liberally Lean baseball player Chris Davis hit as many home runs last night as Ranger's Prince Fielder has hit all year. (6) That Prince Fielder trade looks crazy bad for the Rangers right now. They've got over 7 1/2 years left on that deal at around $24 million a year. Sheesh. 
• Pretty good stuff from some storm chasers.
• Senate GOP Leader and Tea Party whipping boy Mitch McConnell beat a Tea Party challenger yesterday by a 2 to 1 margin. And his Democratic challenger in the fall is kind of a "Hey, Now."
• A guy up at the courthouse yesterday didn't know who Andy Kaufman was. Then I felt older than dirt when I discovered Kaufman died thirty years ago. 
• I've written about a guy from Highland Park named Chart Westcott who is running for Congress. (He's the guy with the very odd "probationary law license" and a perfect looking Highland Park family.) Yesterday one of his supporters quit after learning Westcott sent out a flyer showing his opponent in a fake mug shot, a bottle of liquor, and a road way with a streak of blood. Good grief. Edit: This race is not for Congress but the Texas House. They spent over $2 million on a Texas House race. Double good grief. 
• I have an incredibly hard time finding anything I've written in the past on here via a Google search which is amazing because this blog is hosted by Google. 
• I want to read this article on the Denton County DA's race but I can't find it on the paper's website . . .
