Random Friday Morning Thoughts

From the 11/14/14 cover of the Star-Telegram. It occurred to me that the regular season of high school football is over for this year, we didn't even sniff the cold.

• It seems not too long ago I used to joke about America turning into Idiocracy.  We are there.  An anti-vaccine nutcase is the head of the Department of Health and Human Services.
  
  
  
• Re: The Attorney General pick. If you think anyone cares about this in MAGA world, you are kidding yourself. 
  
  
  
• I've seen some people say, "There's no way these people will be confirmed by the Senate."  Those people are delusional. Do you not understand how this is going to work? It will either be (1) the Senate confirms them because they fear Trump's wrath, (2) they can't confirm them in good faith but take the easy way out by allowing recess appointments, or (3) if all that fails, Trump will declare a National Emergency because of the border "crisis" and name them acting department heads anyway.  It's over. You wanted to "blow it all up"? Congratulations. It has happened. 
• No way!  The dirty Libs decided to rig only these two elections!
  
  
  
• This meeting was on Monday. What in the world is going on?
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• It looks like Bridgeport's own, Lake Worth Police Chief J.T. Manoushagian, had to deal with his first ugly in-house incident. And he quickly fired the guy back in July. 
  
  
  
• This fight tomorrow night is all such a scripted, made-up bit.  Tyson slapped Paul at the weigh-in yesterday. That was as predictable as the sun rising. And I love how the ring girls in the background had been warned all of this was coming so as to not even break from their smiling pose.
  
  
  
• The Texas high school championship games, for years on Bally's, will now be on the same "channel" which is now named after a gambling company. Seems weird. 
  
  
  
• Look at C.D. Lamb just quietly helping a family and hoping no one would find out about it! Wait, I'm being told that "As her family arrived at Tom Thumb in Deep Ellum, so did someone else. Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb partnered with the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Dallas and Tom Thumb to surprise Gonzales’ family with a pre-Thanksgiving shopping spree." Oh, and let's alert the media as well. 
  
  
  
• I don't follow local volleyball, but I do know this is a heck of boxscore for the Decatur Lady Eagles to advance to the state tourney last night: 25-11, 23-25, 25-19, 24-26, 15-13. Here's video of the final point. 
• The Wise County Sheriff's Office still hasn't fixed there jail database report. 
  
  
  
• Time which has passed since the Wise County Sheriff's Office, despite having a full male DNA profile, has failed to solve the murder of Lauren Whitener in her home at Lake Bridgeport: 5 years and 133 days.
