• Local News: Ebola, ebola, ebola, weather, ebola, ebola.
• It’s amazing something serious hasn’t happened to President Obama.  There have been growing concerns with presidential protection ever since the Bush shoe throwing incident in Iraq.  Not only did an intruder make it well inside the White House recently, but a report yesterday stated that while visiting the CDC, a gun carrying security contractor convicted thrice for charges of assault and battery rode on an elevator with President Obama and wouldn’t stop taking pictures and video of the president even when asked by the Secret Service.
• Secret service slip-ups: a handy guide to the agency’s most famous blunders – A soldier actually stole a helicopter and landed on the White House lawn in 1974.
• I was telling a friend, a high school friend actually, about how I sought out specific classmates at the reunion to tell them what I appreciated about them and to apologize to the ones I felt I should have respected more.  He then tells me about this scene in the John Cusack movie High Fidelity and stressed one particular part, which made me feel like I was being selfish with my actions:
  • Rob: I want more, I wanna see the others on the big top-five. I want to see Penny and Charlie and Sarah, all of them. You know? Just see ’em and talk to ’em. You know, like a Bruce Springsteen song.
    Bruce Springsteen: You call, you ask them how they are and see if they’ve forgiven you.
    Rob: Yeah, and then I feel good. And they feel good.
    Bruce Springsteen: They’d feel good, maybe. But you feel better.
    Rob: I’d feel clean and calm.
    Bruce Springsteen: That’s what you’re looking for, you know, get ready to start again. It’d be good for you.
    Rob: Great, even.
• I had no idea that grocery store HEB sold Whatafries.
• At least I live in between two that are in the top 14, but North Texas is heavily represented overall – 50 Safest Cities in Texas
• Today’s dose of ‘MURICA!
• Really? – A ‘Tetris’ Movie Is in the Works 
• Sarah Palin Says White House Located at 1400 Pennsylvania Avenue
• I found this gem on Reddit.  A bank executive’s parachute failed and if that wasn’t bad enough, she landed on a mound of fire ants.   But the fire ants was actually a blessing in disguise – The shock from being stung over 200 times by the ants released a surge of adrenaline which kept her heart beating.
• Fox News is Most-Watched Cable Network With Across The Board Growth
• United States Congressman Pete Sessions says, ““I think it’s important to remember that this new Prime Minister Narendra Modi will become the next Ronald RReaganfor the world.”

• It’s October which means the NFL will wear pink to help an organization that spends more on salaries and marketing a cause than research and assistance.
• I hear Ben Affleck wears a hairpiece.
• Letterman has Maggie Q on the show last night.  She flew in her mentor who’s a huge Letterman fan and was sitting in the audience.  When Dave went into the audience to shake her hand it was quite touching to hear how much it meant to Maggie.  SisterGeeding has been campaigning for her entry into my Half-Asian Hall of Fame which I really haven’t kept updated.

• The one jersey all Cowboy fans should buy should be that of Dan Bailey.
• I’m looking for a new homepage.  Ever since I started using the World Wide Web it has been CNN.com because I wanted to be informed of the latest news and they had a clean layout.  But now it seems all the stories are geared towards sensationalism and not substantive.  I get that’s how “they make money” but there’s got to be a better way to go about it.
• In that last bullet I wanted to use the dated term “World Wide Web” because I remember taking a college class with that title when our campus first got online.  I can remember the instructor telling us to go to Yahoo.com and try to find the web address for Harvard.  I think I was the only person at the time smart enough to figure it out without using the search engine.  I also remember the uproar from the students as we were charged a fifty dollar “Technology Fee” and a close friend calling this thing a fad.
• At most, I use an ATM just three times a year.
• The Secret Service just isn’t what it use to be.  Imagine if that guy that that got into the East Room was a suicide bomber.
