Leading Off (8/26/08): Delayed By Denver Edition

By Tim Rogers |

Turns out Tuesday is Eric’s Leading Off day. And Eric is, well, you know. Indisposed in Denver. Speaking of which, expect a post soon-ish from Eric explaining what’s transpired in the past 48 hours. Should be interesting. So, begging your forgiveness, we press on:

1. I’m just going to give you the lead to this story, because it’s so awesome: “A man accused of stealing bottles of BioSilk shampoo from a Frisco Target and hiding them in his pants may also be responsible for a similar theft in Lewisville, police said.” I guess he didn’t make a clean getaway. SCORE! ROGERS!

2. The Dallas County Young Dems are having a DNC-watching party tonight at La Condesa, in Victory Park. That’s what Dave Levinthal is reporting from Denver. [cough, cough]

3. Dr. Roger Unger, chair of diabetes research at UT Southwestern Medical School, has successfully treated mice and rats dying of insulin-dependent diabetes without using insulin. That’s great and all. But they’re just mice. I’d like to see these people working on more cures for humans.
