Oops. Maybe. Maybe not. Both Gov. Rick Perry (or, rather, his office) and the print shop that fulfilled a man’s order for a Perry for Governor button insist it was completely and totally an accident that the man got instead a Perry for President button.

Over on the Dallas Morning News‘ Texas Energy and Environment Blog (or TEEB, as absolutely nobody calls it), Elizabeth Souder posted a rather routine item about ERCOT asking people to chill on the energy usage during peak hours because they were trying to avoid rolling blackouts. Seems pretty straightforward, right? Well, as commenters are wont to do (except, of course, you good FrontBurnervians, who would never do anything like that), the conversation quickly went completely off the rails and somehow included global warming, Obama, Laura Miller, light bulbs and how hot 78 degrees Fahrenheit is.
Get the Cluck Out. Arlington Mayor Robert Cluck apparently is rather peeved that someone has opened a Twitter (or Tweeter, whatever) account in his name. He wants it shut down, even though it plainly says it is a parody account.
I Drink Brass Monkey, And I Rock Well … So basically, Downtown Dallas Inc. has asked downtown purveyors of booze to not sell beer and wine with high alcohol concentrations. And basically, I have Beastie Boys in my head now. Â Alternate headline: Pour a 40 for the 40?
IMDb Roulette. Instead of an earworm, I give you an … eyeworm? I don’t know. It’s some quotes from a show or a movie, and it’ll happen every Friday. Find a way to work them into your comments today, will you?
