Leading Off

1. The proposed new, stronger animal control ordinance is–surprise, surprise–turning into a bit of a contentious issue. Even Bob Barker has weighed in. Yes, that one.

2. This is pretty much the nightmare scenario: go to jail for unpaid parking tickets, die of an infection because of no medication. How did Tarrant County get a worse jail than Dallas County?

3. The story that won’t go away: Today, the lawyer for The Cherry Pit will file a motion asking a judge to declare the ban on sex clubs unconstitutional. I think there actually might be precedence for this. Lemme just look at my law books. Yes, there it is. The Banana Hammock v. Rhode Island.

  2. #2: Our jails are becoming third world warehouses. She’s in jail for TRAFFIC TICKETS and dies? C’mon Tarrant County, how about a ROR and let her go to JPS on her own?

  3. Speaking of Pit Bulls (ok, awkward transition), I’m taking the bus right now to be all ‘green’ for a change when a couple were allowed to board the bus with a Pit Bull – as in live dog. Just where is Eric when you need him?
