1. The County Commissioners Court continues to provide us with great entertainment. Yesterday, as a new Precinct 5 constable was sworn in, John Wiley Price got into it with Ken Mayfield. Here’s the best video I could find. But the transcript makes it sound like Price and Mayfield were flirting with fisticuffs (name of my new band):
Mayfield to Price: “The shame of it is you keep getting re-elected.”
Price: “We’re gonna take care of you.”
Mayfield: “You give it your best shot.”
Price: “We’re gonna take your ass out.”
Mayfield: “Yeah, we’ll see about that.”
If it comes to a throw down, I’ve got my money on Price. That guy works out.
2. Nothing I can do with this story but give you the lead from the News: “Coppell Mayor Jayne Peters and her 19-year-old daughter were found dead in their home Tuesday night in what police are investigating as a possible murder-suicide.”
3. I don’t know much about Tyson Chandler, but I do know something about Erick Dampier, and any deal that rids the Mavs of the latter is a good one.
4. A government inspector paid an unannounced visit yesterday to the Dallas Zoo, asking questions about how a zebra there died when it ran into part of its holding pen and broke its neck. My question: something goes wrong with an elephant, and we all learn the animal’s name (Jenny). How come we don’t know the zebra’s name? Did it even have a name?

Jeez Tim, ask the kidddos. They’ll tell you all zebras are called “Constitution”.
It has something to do with the tea party fad and things being black and white with no grey.

His name was Robert Paulson.
When I did Leading Off, I hadn’t yet seen Bethany’s post from last night when the Commissioners Court news broke. Girl, you’re tireless.
I just wanted to beat Wilonsky. For once.
Well done, Bethany. Would you like some complimentary champagne?
How bout the Columbia president asking for a media bailout? Funny line…..the tea party is a fad for wanting to focus on the constitution.
The constitution is the foundation…..progressivism is the fad.
Enrique – Now THAT’S funny
It’s Zed… Zed’s dead.
