Leading Off

1. An autopsy showed no visible signs of cancer in the body of Rufus Shaw. The weirdest part of the story is that John Wiley Price says that doesn’t surprise him, and he never believed Shaw had cancer. So confused.

2. The financing for the $510-million, uncomfortably named Glorypark project in Arlington still hasn’t been lined up, according to the Star-Telegram. Tom Hicks is the latest to recommend buying yourself a hat and holding the eff onto it.

3. North Texas new home starts are down 35 percent in the first quarter, which analysts actually say is a good thing, since we’re getting closer to having a reasonable, six-month supply of homes on the market. And I understand that logic, but you’ll forgive me if I fasten the chinstrap I’ve attached to my hat.

    Hold the eff onto your hat, indeed. The video doesn’t work via the link provided, so here’s a direct link to the video on NBC’s site.

    and the Shaw’s were considered “good, decent” people? yeah, right.
