- I wish Gov Good Hair With Glasses would have maximized his photo op by showing up in scrubs.
- I bet the administration at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas was excited to hear they had an ebola patient to treat as it would be good publicity for the outstanding service they provide. But I’m pretty sure someone is going to lose their job now that we know the patient first came in with ebola symptoms and stated he was in Africa when asked.
- All of this ebola talk makes me think of the movie Contagion, which I thought was pretty good. I thought that movie was pretty clever with its marketing when it used a billboard that was basically a petri dish that spelled out the movie’s name as the bacteria grew.
- I had a very weird dream last night. Lunch time was almost over and I walked into a workplace cafeteria where they were deep frying live hogs in a big pool, kinda like how you cook lobsters except instead of boiling/steaming them, the hogs were deep fried in peanut oil. One hog got loose with really brown crispy skin and the workers and everybody else acted like it was no big deal. The hog ran head first into a wall and died.
- I heard the term “tableau” last night on ‘Modern Family’. I’ll be honest, I had to look it up.
- ‘Survivor’ – I’ve never seen Jeff Probst so ticked off, that one tribe try to play him the fool and he didn’t like that one iota.
- I’ve never experienced the runner’s high.

- I saw my first negative ad against Wendy Davis. It wasn’t directly from the Abbot campaign but a group associated with him. I think Abbot can easily beat Davis without one negative campaign ad, which would have been a pretty neat thing to say at a campaign victory speech.
- I think the idea of an electric toothbrush is stupid and I’m surprised people actually buy them.
- The Letterman Twitter account only follows 25 accounts. Most of those follows are writers for the show, but surprisingly one is Jimmy Fallon.

- A short but insightful read on what it was like to protect presidents 42 and 43. This agent once took a wrong turn and ended up in the Oval Office with a confused 42 looking at him, and he ends it stating he can with certainty say that being POTUS is the hardest job in the world.
