Leading Off (7/23/09)

1. In a move that surprised only people who are really easily surprised, Mayor Leppert didn’t pick council member (and chief thorn in his paw) Angela Hunt to chair (or even vice chair) any of the council’s seven main committees. In possibly related news, Leppert also decided not to kick himself in the crotch yesterday.

2. Cleburne okayed beer and wine sales in May, for the first time in a decade. Its first beers were sold a few weeks ago. Now a Cleburne beer store is adverstising with girls in bikini tops and “Daisy Duke” shorts. I think I speak for the city of Cleburne when I say: OH MY GOD, WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT?

3. I’m just going to present this one without comment: “Elvis Impersonator Wins Custody of Abandoned Baby.”
