The Sweet Smell of Uh-Oh. Dallas-based Komen for the Cure has been selling this perfume, “Promise Me,” for about $60. Proceeds, like all the other pink-colored items the organization sells, go to breast cancer research. Only some are saying the ingredients of “Promise Me” include some known carcinogens. Komen is revamping the perfume for next year, but the current version will remain for sale, because they say their scientists reviewed the ingredients and gave it the green light.
Sleep Tight, Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite. No. Really. Now if you excuse me, I’m going to scratch furiously as I always do after reading/seeing a story like this.
Look Away, Dixie Land. State Sen. John Carona has joined State Sen. Royce West in opposing a possible Confederate state license plate, saying, “Those who are advancing such a plan do not reflect the sentiments of most Texans.” The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles could take up the issue again at its Nov. 10 meeting.
Tuberculosis Threat Spreads. After an Ennis teacher apparently exposed several students and their families to tuberculosis, Denton High School is now also faced with testing students after a suspected case was reported Wednesday. The student in question had been a student last year in Ennis, and had taken a class with the teacher there.
Detroit To Visit Sunny Dallas. Hello, Detroit Tigers. Congratulations, and welcome to Arlington, which everyone will call Dallas when you arrive here. With Texas-OU weekend, the State Fair, Texas 360 being closed and your little baseball game with the Rangers, expect traffic to be a complete clustercuss. Oh, and Yankees? HA HA . Love, Me.

Well, aren’t you up early!
@Bethany – would you give us an update on your friend, Lisa Smalls, and her stage III cancer that was reported on this blog (I thought) the other week? We wish her all the best.
She didn’t want the bed bugs to bite.
I’m not sure which was more frightening in that CW33 story… the bed bugs or the horrible abuse of grammar.
Texas 360? I’m sure Angus G Wynne would like to have a talk with whoever renamed State Highway 360 but you are correct that the N and SB lanes of 360 are scheduled to be reduced to one lane (and closed at some point) from 8pm tonight till 3pm tomorrow as they blow up/construct a new railroad bridge near Division. I wouldn’t be surprised if they decide to reschedule because of the Rangers…
“Those who are advancing such a plan do not reflect the sentiments of most Texans.” …Funny. That’s what they were saying when they proposed and OU license plate as well, but they let that one in.
I personally love the idea of a confederate flag license plate. Helps make me aware of the redneck cracker behind the wheel, so I can stay clear.
