- Jesse Jackson is following Ebola to Dallas!
- Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins is a twofer: Not only does he look goofy, he sounds goofy.
- So the Supreme Court ruled it would not decide whether lower courts were correct when they declared same sex marriage bans unconstitutional? That allows for same sex marriage in five new states. That's odd because it only takes four votes for the court simply to decide it will hear the case. (And if you want to really be confused, earlier five judges of the court had voted to keep the ban in place until they decided whether they would hear the case.) Now what are they going to do when the crazy Fifth Circuit (which rules Texas) declares that Texas' ban is constitutional in a pending case? The Supreme Court will have to hear that appeal, right?
- Ted Cruz immediately did some time-wasting grandstanding yesterday when he announced he would introduce a proposed constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage. Let's see, that would require two-thirds vote in the House and the Senate and then a ratification of three-fourths of the states. That's going to happen when the majority of Americans support same sex marriage?
- Lots of reports that people are acting nuts in Chico over the last couple of weeks. I mean, it sounds like Zombieland breaks out.
- Blacks are upset in Dallas over police brutality. Find out that you can carry a long barrelled firearm in public. So they do their own open carry police protest.
- A great chart showing the number of flights Southwest is adding to new destinations and what they are cutting back on once the Wright Amendment is officially repealed this month.
- Tom Delay was exonerated by Texas' highest criminal court last week so now he wants to sue his prosecutors. Not a chance. After throwing his weight around forever, he finally learned what it is like "when the rabbit got the gun." And, if the rabbit misses, he just gets to go back in his hole and reloads.
- There is a real good chance that the Cowboys are selling unsold tickets on Stubhub. I went to a Tennessee Titans game in Nashville once, bought the ticket on Stubhub, and those around me told me I was sitting in the seat of a guy who didn't renew his season tickets. Did the Titans then simply put the seat up on Stubhub since they could even get more than face value?
- Baylor is 21-1 in their last 22 home games. The last loss: TCU.
- Speaking of grandstanding: "Gov. Rick Perry today announced the creation of the Texas Task Force on Infectious Disease Preparedness and Response, which will assess and enhance the state's existing capabilities to prepare for and respond to pandemic disease, such as the Ebola virus." That means: (1) Hold a press conference since it's cheaper than buying a campaign ad, (2) Have a committee spend a bunch of taxpayer money preparing a report, (3) Have another press conference releasing the report, (4) Toss the report aside never to be read again.
