Random Thursday Morning Thoughts




From 8/7/14. Didn't think RFK, Jr. would be back in the news 10 years later. Barely remember the Family Unit experimented with having a pot-bellied pig. 


  • This news is going to cause a lot of Austrian teenagers to cry a great deal.  And cancelling three shows at a venue which holds 65,000 is a really big deal.


  • A hearing started up on Monday in Montague County to remove the DA after she was indicted on theft allegations, but it was delayed when a question arose as to whether the "State" needs to be represented in the matter. The removal petition was filed by former DA Tim Cole as a private resident.


    • Hey, her lawyer is my old buddy!

  • Hot hitting weather forecast for today:

  • Politics.
    • I think that headline undersells what happened. That was a crazy rally at an airport yesterday. 


    • I think he's a little nervous about falling out of the news. 

    • Audio.
  • Once again, the military crashes lots of aircraft.

  • I think this is an example of how the death of local media hurts us all. Obviously, something is going on with this resignation, but WFAA's reporting simply regurgitates the city's press release thanking him for his past service.

  • Random book-in photo which is reprinted in the Messenger this week in a story concerning theft allegations near Boyd. 

  • According to the story "rapper Nelly" was arrested early Wednesday at a St. Louis-area casino at 4:45 a.m. for an outstanding traffic ticket and an officer then found four illegal ecstasy pills on him. (Hey, buddy, you've got a ton of handlers. Keep it out of your pockets.)

  • Olympic quick hit: I don't think I've ever seen a runner look so wild arse and yet still be able to pull off a an impossible comeback in the 400 Meter final.  Regardless, you simply shouldn't be able to win when you are in this position entering the final 100 meters.  Full race video here.. 


  • College football quick hit: Bad for that guy, but the Longhorns probably won't miss a beat. 

  • Messenger - Above the Fold
