LEADING OFF

1) Say it ain’t so, Shannon. I mean, I really won’t have any reason to get up in the morning. At least not at this ungodly hour.

2) Bud Light presents “You Make the Call.” Which is creepier in this case of domestic murder? The mugshot, or the 911 call? And just wait til he sees the kind of ridicule in store for him in the pokey.

3) Robert Heinlein wrote “One man’s religion is another man’s belly laugh.” Brother, you don’t know the half of it.

4) Hyatt Regency Dallas offers a “JFK package.” Must. Not. Make. Joke.

5) There’s pretty much no bad news in this latest regional economic update from the Dallas Fed — when you slow from 80 mph to 70 mph you’re still booking along — but I’m laying 2 to 1 odds that’s not how it will play. Journalists 1) love bad news and 2) don’t understand basic economics.
