1. The saga of Jenny the elephant continues. Will she be shipped off to Mexico? Tennessee? Might she even stay at the Dallas Zoo? I just finished Water for Elephants, so I consider myself an expert on the subject of elephant care. I suggest that someone bring Jenny a bucket of whiskey and speak to her in Polish. (And now that I think about it, in the Dallas production of the stage version of the book, Robert Wilonsky would make a fine Jacob Jankowski opposite Angela Hunt‘s Marlena L’Arche.)

2. Soon a guy named Dennis Wheeler will start selling electric cars in Dallas. I’m so sick of these holier-than-thou hipsters who latch onto trends like this so they can lord their coolness over my head. First one of these electric cars I see on the road, I’m mowing it down with my gas-guzzling Prius.

3. Dallas Police have made their first arrests using video of a crime posted on YouTube. But watch the video. Is it just me, or does it look liked a staged crime? It’s just so — choreographed. Probably just me.
