I’m Already Out of Excuses to Blog About The Bachelor

Sigh. Our local gal, Natalie, was one of the first given the boot on last night’s awesome premiere of the ten millionth season of The Bachelor. But she went down proudly: One reality-watching FBvian was at Ozona last night, where Natalie had gathered about 70 of her closest friends to watch her approximately three minutes of air time. But this is one show where it’s better to be underplayed—at least she wasn’t the girl who showed off her webbed toes, or the one who put both legs behind her head, or the one who got trashed and pulled out her bra inserts. You stay classy, Natalie.

Ye Very Olde English Item Up for Auction

Have an empty wall space that just needs some kind of … I don’t know … iconic ancient legal document-ish treatment? A mere $30 million could get you one of the 1297 copies of the Magna Carta. (And they’ll throw in a frame, I bet.) Billionaire Ross Perot’s foundation tells Bloomberg News it will sell its copy of the 2,500-word English document in mid-December through Sotheby’s.

The copy of the English document, which was originally drafted and signed in 1215 and which laid the foundations for English political and civil liberties, was reportedly bought by Perot in 1984 for $1.5 million.

Leading Off – Harassing School Children

Aaaand with that I shed the last vestiges of sympathy for the anti-illegal immigrant crowd. It’s funny. It wasn’t the arguments put forward by the pro-illegal immigrant side that changed my mind. It was, to a significant degree, the actions of the anti-illegal alien crowd that turned me off.

Leading Off

1. Farmer’s Branch continues its jihad against Hispanics, asking for names and addresses of all schoolchildren. Coward councilman Tim O’Hare directs this effort but doesn’t return phone calls to explain his actions.

2. Mockingbird will be under construction for some time in the Park Cities between the Dallas North Tollway and Hillcrest. Take a seat and watch the Lexi honk.

3. Mark Cuban brings “the white man’s overbite” to Dancing with the Stars, as he performs tonight. I didn’t watch Emmitt, and I won’t watch Cuban. I’m holding out for Dancing Wick.
