The WBAP reporter, Alan Scaia, survived (and actually mentioned the wreck the other day.) I believe the other driver survived as well.
- In normal times, it would be earthshaking news that the head of the FBI, the agency responsible for the identifying 1,561 insurrectionists who took part on January 6th and referring them for prosecution, is being forced out by a man who will pardon those insurrectionists "on Day One" and . . .
- . . . will replace him with this wholly unqualified sycophant.
- Time has just named Trump the "Person of the Year." And he is. The fact that he was able to return to the presidency is one of the biggest stories in the entire history of America -- much less of the year. And once he he's done, and I expect carnage, he will probably end up being the most significant president ever.

- You'll probably be reminded today of Time's 1938 Person of the Year, and that being named as such is not a stamp of approval.
- I think it is a dumb, dumb move for North Carolina to hire this guy. The fact that no NFL team wanted him should have been a good indication of his current market value, but they gave him a 3 year, $30 million deal. I predict failure.
- Fun fact: UNC's first game next year is at home against TCU.
- There was a plane crash on a service road in Victoria, Texas yesterday, and a video caught it happening. (Language warning.)

- The president was busy this morning.

- We live in strange days where the truth is elusive.
- Example 1: Lockheed trying to knock down Internet rumors.
- Example 2: The Defense Department having to to say a congressman is being nutty. (But the fact that we don't know the source of those drones is a little nutty on its own.)
- The relationship between the Trumps and the Saudis grows.
- He was big player on TV when I was a kid.
- Legal nerdy stuff. This actually happened in a Court of Criminal Appeals opinion yesterday. I had to look up the word, uttered an "oh, my", and had to figure out that he the judge was doing a bit.
- Legal stuff: The outgoing DA in Houston is making plea offers in all capital murder cases for "life without parole" instead of the death penalty. I'm not sure that's necessarily a big deal. There are apparently over 60 (!) of those cases pending and in how many of them was the D.A.'s office going to seek the death penalty before this change? The story doesn't say.
