Leading Off (5/21/09)

1. Amanda Donaldson claims she lost her job at a McKinney chiropractor’s office because she doesn’t believe in God. I’ve lost a lot of things for the same reason — my keys, several bets, my place in line at Quizno’s — but never a job. Wait, Wick’s still on his fishing trip, right?

2. Council members are unhappy with some of the cuts city manager Mary Suhm has targeted to help keep the massive budget shortfall slightly less massive. You know who could probably help get them out of this jam? Brantley Foster.

3. And finally, I cannot improve upon this headline: “Brave Chicken Traps Gator in Park.” (I might have added an exclamation point and an F-bomb or two, but that’s quibbling.)
