Leading Off (3/4/11)

“Sex Is Natural, Sex Is Fun, Sex Is Best When It’s One on One.” Fellowship Church pastor Ed Young and AshleyMadison.com site creater Noel Biderman faced off to debate on adultery for an HBO documentary on adultery. This is actually the second time the two have done so, but Young insists he’s right because, “you know I’ve read the last page and the Bible says we win.” It also mentions giant multi-headed dragons, so you know, there’s that.

Slow Down in Flower Mound. Flower Mound police have pulled over about 49,000 cars in a year, with about 26,000 tickets. The town has about 70,000 residents.

Feliz “Meh” on First Outing as Starter. It’s not certain that he’ll get a second opportunity to try, but Neftali Feliz,  the guy everyone kept saying needed to be a starter last year got to try yesterday, and didn’t do so great.

Rainy Day Fund May Get Used. House Budget Chief Jim Pitts said he’s hopeful that the Lege will vote to use at least part of the state’s rainy day fund to close there rest of the budget shortfall. Considering one of the other options is just to delay paying bills, maybe this is actually a rainy day?

Spring is Here, So Go Out and Freaking Enjoy It. People have seemed a little cranky this week. I attribute this to a severe lack of patio-dwelling. So this weekend, find one. Put your feet up, grab a frosty libation, and do not move from that spot until your outlook improves. That’s an order, FrontBurnervians.

  3. Pastor Young confirms that this whole Book of Revelation/Apocalypse thing is a modern talking point among the religious Right. In November ‘07, presidential candidate and ordained Baptist minister Mike Huckabee preached a sermon at Prestonwood Baptist and said the same thing: “If you’re with Jesus Christ, we know how it turns out in the final moment. I’ve read the last chapter in the book, and we do end up winning.”

    Yes, only they will win, and everyone else (Jew, Muslim, atheist, agnostic, etc.) will lose.

  4. #2. Just one more reason to never go into Flower Mound.

    #4. If we rob the savings account (rainy day fund) to pay our bills, isn’t that just pushing the problem into the future too? I’m always amazed how utterly incapable lawyers/politicians are at balancing a checkbook.
