• Breaking Travel News: For at least an hour this morning, American Airlines grounded all flights nationwide. Oh, my!
  

  

  
  
  
  
• At around 7:00 a.m., the ground stop was lifted.
  
  
  
• What's up with the matching outfits?
  
  
  
  
  
  
• The lawyer got to go on a little bit of a mini-rant in court which I don't understand. The purpose of the hearing was to simply enter a not guilty plea, and that's it. You don't get to do performance art in Texas courts. 
• I wonder if there is more to this.
  
  
  
• The ethics report on Matt Gaetz was pretty bad, but I don't think it necessarily means his political career is over. Why? Nothing seems to matter anymore.  There is an open Senate seat in Georgia that has to be filled. Maybe he'll run.
  
  
  
• But it should be disqualifying that he made his "dates" fly via Spirit Airlines.
  
  
  
• The second hardest working man in show business was hard at it last night.  Side note: I still love detectives wearing white shirts and ties. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Is it just me, or does North Richland Hills sure make the crime blotter quite a bit these days? Although I'm not sure that a bunch of teenagers trespassing in a rent house being renovated deserves a segment on Fox 4. 
  
  
  
• The crime occurred way back in 2002.
  
  
  
• This was pretty funny, and I don't think it was staged. Video.
  
  
  
• Random pop culture flashbacks.
• From Montgomery Ward catalog. That was a pretty penny back in 1968.  And you can get a heck of a TV for that price today.
  
  
  
• Matlock represented Walter White of Breaking Bad (Bryan Cranston) in 1987 in a Christmas episode.
  
  
  
• It's Christmas Eve. The courts are shut down. There is no Messenger Update. But here I am. The Hardest Working Man in Show Business™.
