I was home sick yesterday but learned that Air Force One was going to land just outside the office window. For this presidential historian buff, that was a missed opportunity. Huge.
I think the local news is making too much of an issue of Democratic governor candidate Bill White distancing himself from Obama during his visit. It’s definately something worth noting, but WFAA had about three, maybe four different segments about it in one newscast.
The news also seemed to make a bigger deal of Obama’s visit than any of W’s when he was in office and I’m not sure really why.
I fear broken glass. I always want to make sure all of it is cleaned up around the house, even to the tiniest piece because I fear dogs licking it thinking it might be a drop of water.
While waiting in the doctors office yesterday the waiting room was fully of young football players waiting to get their physical. It must have been their fist physical because it was funny watching them come out one by one talking about the whole “turn your head and cough” experience.
I’m surprised as much that has been mentioned about the HP scandal by our local news they never stated that the man stepping down is a Baylor graduate. It seems the news is always trying to make connections to all the Texas universities but this one eluded them. But the news sure did like saying that the woman involved was from Dallas.
I forgot to mention that when I flew to Austin last week, it did so on the 25th anniversary of my first ever flight. I can remember that day because it was not only my father’s birthday but it was the anniversary of the Delta crash at DFW. We flew to Hawaii that day and when he got to the hotel and turned on the television we learned there was a crash at our home airport. It was just a weird feeling.
When Obama left Dallas yesterday evening, Gloria Campos was nice enough to break into a story I was watching on ABC's evening news about the arrest of an Arizona escaped murderer near Yellowstone. Campos said they wanted everyone to be able to see Obama climbing aboard Air Force One, but that " we will not interrupt your news coverage of the World News". She then talked right over the end of the news story I was trying to watch. I changed over to CBS. Nothing against Obama, but I have seen him waving from Air Force dozens of times…not really big news.
The Alaskan school teacher protesting Palin got the best of Palin, which is really no surprise. Palin is not equipped to think on her feet. She really needs to read more and adopt lines better than she stands for a strong military to protect your freedoms. She should have known better than to engage a person who is protesting her with a humongous sign that says "Worst Governor", which remained visible throughout the whole confrontation.
Another Baylor graduate in the news: Rand Paul is alleged to have tied up a coed and then forced her to smoke marijauna??
