1. Early this morning, a driver hit four pedestrians in Deep Ellum. The odd thing about the story: that there were even four pedestrians available in Deep Ellum to hit.
2. Rod Dreher had this great line in his Points column today: “And having once given the nation George W. Bush — and given him to our countrymen good and hard — we Texans sure as hell owe them one.” The odd thing about the story: I’ve heard the DCVB is considering abandoning its “Live Large. Think Big.” slogan in favor of “Giving It to Our Countrymen Good and Hard.”
3. Speaking of which, Laura Bush did a turn on Meet the Press this morning. She still hasn’t picked a house in Dallas, but she said she and the mister will spend their weekdays in town and their weekends in Crawford. The odd thing about the story: if the Bushes move in next door to you, does that drive your home value up or down?
