1. There ain’t no party like a Dallas Tax Day Tea Party, ’cause a Dallas Tax Day Tea Party don’t stop. Feh, doesn’t quite have the ring of the Coolio original, but if you’re looking to get your protest on, head to City Hall at 5 p.m. When you see the Wylys, say hi.

2. Many SMU students yesterday missed classes so they could catch a glimpse of George W. Bush, Condoleezza Rice, and other Bush buddies who were having a meeting on the campus presumably to discuss plans for the presidential library. [insert joke about how he’s already making a negative impact on the school’s academic life]

3. You know what’s unfortunate? When you’re sitting in a coffee shop, doing actual job-related work, googling around to see if there’s a way you can freshen up yesterday’s news that Jessica Simpson’s label dropped her, and suddenly your computer screen is filled with very personal pictures of Simpson that were just posted on this Danish website. (Please be careful if you follow that link and you’re at work. In fact, you know what? Don’t even follow that link if you’re at your house. It’s gross. Also, if that site isn’t Danish, forgive me. I can’t look at it long enough to figure out exactly what strain of Nordic it really is.)
