Random Thursday Morning Thoughts





This story was on page 7 (full pdf) of the Messenger back then, and I thought at the time that it should get more attention. I never heard anything else about it. 


  • The Update has a story of WCSO deputies shooting and killing a man last night.
  • Big headline in the Morning News but absolutely no facts in the story other than the name of the church: Lake Country Church in Saginaw.  Edit: The Star-Telegram story at least had: "A pastor was wrongfully let go from his position at a Fort Worth church due to baseless allegations of looking at inappropriate images, his attorney says."

  • More tricked up explosions by Israel:



  • A DPS trooper was seriously injured in Ector County.
  • Yesterday prediction monitor:
    • I missed this one by thinking it would only be a quarter percent. 

    • Got this one right as a judge denied bail yesterday afternoon. 

  • The Star-Telegram picked up a story out of Decatur.  There was this sentence regarding the proposed Trump roadway: "Google Maps images show a few potholes along the short stretch of asphalt, which doesn’t even have center striping."

  • They are an open fire hydrant of lies:
    • From the cover of the Wall Street Journal today:
    • This turned out to be a lie yesterday, but the richest man in the world just spread it to millions without fact checking. But he does crap like this all the time. 

  • Idiocracy.


  • Former TCU star Jalen Reagor was not happy about being relegated to New England's practice squad so he posted this photograph on Instagram to indicate he felt like a sports car under a carport.  The Patriots then cut him later that day.
