I’ll be back later this morning, but Penn Jillette speaks for me in this four minutes of genius.
“Ask what you can do for your country” is effing creepy and stupid. “Government that works” can suck it.
Plausibly Undeniable

I’m interested in what folks think of this from our buddy Gordon Keith.
Comments in general — good, bad, and who makes you read them?
“Her last job at a chicken shack paid $139 a week, barely enough to cover her cellphone bill.” This is odd. It’s been my experience that literally every stripper is a business major working towards her MBA and/or law school, not someone who would make questionable choice with personal finance. I’m perplexed, and this requires some research.
Taking the mob contracts Americans won’t take?
Far be it from me to point out how silly all some religious beliefs are. Or maybe not. This lady says her kid shouldn’t have to follow the school dress code and tuck in her shirt because of a Bible verse that says absolutely nothing about tucking in shirts but something about being modest. But whatever. Then it gets weird. The lady is sooo religious that she doesn’t go to church regularly because she doesn’t have a nice dress. What what?
This is getting a little silly with how the city keeps changing its story and paying five figure invoices for studies it claims don’t exist.
I’m not sure there is much left to argue after the case offered by three college professors about how ridiculous it is that constitutional rights are prohibited on college campuses.
My secret Internet girlfriend, Bethany Anderson, (shh, don’t tell anyone) explains why Prop 2 — which would require a referendum on all projects getting more than $1 million in incentives from the city — deserves a resounding NO vote on May 9.
Go, read, and keep that thing about my crush on Bethany under your hat.
I have a pretty good spam filter, but it occasionally catches legitimate comments. Especially those with links.
This site is set for automatic posting of comments. I get an email notice when there are new comments posted, but not for ones held in the filter. If you submit a comment and it doesn’t show up immediately, drop me an email and let me know so I can fish it out of the filter.
(RayRay, Nestor, and Dallasite, I found your comments in the filter this morning and they’re up now.)
Cute headlines for the Morning Roundup written at 2 a.m. and based on semi-obscure 70s songs look pretty gay by 8 a.m.

My column on the People’s Hotel is in today’s Dallas Morning News. Give it a spin. Personal note: I love the venue, but I hate the 630 word limit. But I’m a long writer. For instance, I wish I could have gotten into how the pro-hotel folks are keeping critical information from voters — the revised feasibility study they’re holding back and the lawsuit against the Texas attorney general to prevent the release of documents. How can you not think they’re trying to hoodwink the very people they want to put on the hook for half a billion dollars. What do you think of leadership that wants people to vote on something without having all the relevant facts? Pretty damning.
The Lege to ban tanning beds for those under 16 years, 6 months. How long til they ban going outside in the sun?
Go Betty Culbreath. Love ya, darlin’. You, too, Angela.
I hope like hell these people are serious and not just talking out their kiesters, but I have my doubts. Still, hope — like the Dude — abides.
