Perry Explains It All. A night after stepping in “it,” Gov. Rick Perry appeared on Letterman to present the Top 10 reasons he did so. My take? He didn’t do horribly. But I’m still wagering he would give anything to find Clark Kent, convince him to change into his blue and red jammies, fly up into space, and then reverse the orbit of the Earth back to two hours before the debate started, when he’d say, “Hey, intern, won’t you write down the three departments I hate on a Post-It and slip it in my pocket?”
Fraggled. North Texas parent Keith White and Rev. Kyev Tatum both think a decades-old episode of Fraggle Rock contains a racial slur. However, The Hub, which aired the episode, says a look-see at the script says differently. Can we all just agree that “Gee, Gobo, we’re sorry,” can possibly sound like what they think they heard, but Jim Henson, in all his Muppet-wisdom, would probably not put a racial slur in a children’s program?
Dallas! Apparently people would like to move to Dallas, only they aren’t. Big Bob has the deets, but I say those people who said they’d like to move here should wait a few years because if they come here now they’ll only make that whole mess on 635 more irritating than it already is and I swear I’ll end up murder balling someone with my car if people don’t learn that the EB on ramp to 75 has three lanes and the middle one will allow you to go north or south. I mean, um, welcome to Dallas. Jerks.
Donkeyed Up. “Deputy Paul Stroud can hardly keep up with the county’s stray donkey problem.” Dallas County officials are going to assess (see what I did there?) the problem.
Happy 11-11-11, Or Not. I can’t tell. It’s either good luck, or not. So maybe it’s a wash, and completely normal. As you were?

Italian government officials are blaming Perry’s gaffe for their economic situation now.
People are moving to North Texas though. A lot of people. From 2000-2010 population in the North Texas MSA jumped over 23% from 5.1 million to almost 6.4 million, making it the fourth largest metropolitan area in hte country. People just aren’t moving into the City of Dallas.
Also, I’m pretty sure the EB ramp from 635 to 75 has only two lanes. One may go north of south from the right lane. Perhaps you’re referring to the WB ramp from 635 to 75.
