- From yesterday. Incredible video.
- The Texas Senate set a record yesterday by filing a bill and passing it in one day by suspending all the rules and reversing deadlines. It all had to do with (the probable unconstitutional) wiping out $16 billion in electricity charges during the February storm. It was spearheaded by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick who immediately held a press conference and conspicuously said that, despite rumors, he is not going to run for Governor. Side note: He's going to run for governor.
- I don't understand how to interpret the pricing at Weatherford College.
- The price schedule:
- "Tuition for in-district (Parker County) students was approved at $102 per credit hour, a 7 percent increase"
- "Out-of-district tuition increased to $170 per hour"
- "Out-of-district Wise County will be $129"
- Say I live in Jack County: What do I pay if I attend a class in Wise County? $170 or $129?
- What do I pay if I live in Wise County and attend class at the Parker County campus?
- Security guard overkill.
- They bloom like clockwork and show up seemingly overnight every year between March 10th and March 15th. I'm a big fan.
- I want COVID to be gone, but I'm not all that thrilled with "things going back to the way they were."
- This is interesting. I think there might actually be some very, very slight wiggle room of "forcing" employees to engage in a prayer, but the allegation that employees "were then harassed and fired after they refused to comply" which is the big problem. The doctor got hit with a $375,000 fine.
- You might want to avoid the XTC parking lot in Dallas. These are different incidences on two consecutive nights:
Early this morning Early Monday morning - This happened in India and is proof you don't want to stand under a tree during a storm. Video. (Warning: They all drop like a rock. One reportedly didn't survive.)
- I can't wait for the Feds to finally lock this guy up. Not for wasting money, but for his other crimes.
- Some people like looking a Zillow, I like looking at rent prices. This new apartment building which just opened in Dallas has a 512 square foot studio unit starting at $1,649 a month.
Central Expressway and Knox - None of us are safe. (And someone needs to call the Apostrophe Police.) My favorite might be "High Fullutent"
- Sign-up for the Liberally Lean Modified Scoring System March Madness Tourney. I'm serious -- get on it. First round games this year are on Friday and Saturday instead of the typical Thursday and Friday. And the funny names of bracket's keep coming:
- Legal nerd stuff: I've been waiting to see the appellate brief in the Wichita Falls/Lottery Winner/ Sexual Assault/High Priced Attorneys/No Defense case, and it has finally been filed. Dear Fort Worth Court of Appeals, please put up a link to it.
- Sports: There is no more meaningless and hollow stat than that of the "triple double."
