Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts

Just a random photo that caught my attention. The ball was actually captured in the frame.

---

• We now officially have another Wise County murder charge. I need to create a list of all of them over the last few years. There's been a bunch. 
  
  
  
• Wait a second. She is not the one suing, Dak is. (This is from a Fox 4 reporter).
  
  
  
• The days of Ken Paxton and others filing federal lawsuits in specific courts because the results are a foregone happy conclusion are over.  Judges Matthew Kacsmaryk (Amarillo) and Reed O’Connor ( Fort Worth) are about to have some free time. 
  
  
  
  
• Please, please, please make the Rodgers thing happen. 
  
  
  
• I really can't imagine this going through both the House and the Senate. 
  
  
  
• This investigative piece was just released by The Washington Post this morning. It looks insane. (Gift link.)
  
  
  
• Trump:
• Nothing like the family of a dead girl smiling with a guy who wishes to exploit her -- all the while holding an autographed photo where he misspelled her name. I don't understand this at all. 
  
  
  
• Four years ago on March 11th the NBA shut down due to COVID and Tom Hanks announced he had contracted it.  Trump had it all under control two days later. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• I don't think a D.A. has any business at a crime scene.  And he sure doesn't need to be getting in front of the cameras to give a "statement." Plus, in these cases, he comes across more like the defense lawyer for the officers than an independent screener of crime. 
  
  
  
• The Business Second™. No exact locations were announced.
  
  
  
• Former Alabama coach Nick Saban was at Congress yesterday complaining about NIL.  “All the things I believed in for all these years -- 50 years of coaching -- no longer exist in college athletics.”  He's moaning the death of a system which allowed him to make millions off the backs of unpaid players.
  
  
  
• I finally watched the Lorena Bobbitt documentary on Amazon Prime. Big thumbs up. Anyone who was involved in it (the Bobbitts, the cops, the surgeon, the D.A., the defense lawyers) all give interviews 30 years later. It's really good.
