Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts



It was notable not only for the comeback, but the fact that Baylor's kicker almost got killed after a blocked field goal. (Video)


  • Breaking. He also opened fire on police after driving through the crowd. It happened around 3:15 a.m.  The mayor specifically called it a "terrorist attack" at the first press conference at 6:30 a.m. The police chief then said is was "intentional" and "not a DUI situation."


    • Texas plates in that photo. There seems to be some type of flag connected to the trailer hitch.
    • First video of the aftermath shows a bad and graphic scene.  On this other video, you can see people react to the gunfire which can be heard. 
    • Of course, it's normally crowded there even in the wee hours, but the Sugar Bowl between Georgia and Notre Dame is set to play there tonight.
  • Four person fatality DWI crash last night as people were changing a tire in Mesquite on I-20.  Fox4Terry was on the scene

  • Dallas ended the year in a less than ideal fashion.  

  • I'm not sure why they went to the trouble of even doing this. 

    • If this is the reason, Zeke and Jerry must have both been drunk on NYE by noon.

  • KLTY is no more as Salem Radio wants to focus on conservative talk (like they have on 660 - The Answer) instead of Christian music. Of course, nothing says Christian-like more than angry right wing talk shows. 

  • When I first started practicing law, the entire bar was scared to death of filing frivolous pleadings -- much less those that contained outright lies.  But, once again, nothing seems to matter anymore.  Story.

  • Ken Paxton is going on a self-described "tour" because he thinks he's some kind of political rock star. (This is all about the weird issue of letting a few Texas House committees be chaired by Democrats -- something which seems to be a life or death issue to ultra-MAGA.  Below, I think he means "of incumbents" instead of "with incumbents".)

  • Legal stuff: 
    • If we could only pinpoint something that, or someone who, changed everything in America.


    • Collin County DWI stats.

    • A very detailed story about this guy. It doesn't make a lot of sense. 

  • If this is true, he'd be a fool not to take it.  When it's all said and done, it might be more than he ever makes in his NFL career (which I predict to be very, very short.)
