1. The funding gap for the Trinity toll road (the amount above what the NTTA will pay) could reach $1 billion. The DMN says the NTTA won’t cover it, Tom Leppert says there are lots of other funding sources, and Jim Schutze is cackling as he raises two middle fingers in the air.

2. Dan Reeves won’t be on the Cowboys staff because Jerry Jones insisted on an hours clause, an insult so amazing it makes me admire Jones even more. In the same way I admire, say, Rod Blagojevich, or Napoleon.

3. In the wake of more horrible job-loss news, people in the office are eyeing each other warily, trying to gain Wick’s favor as they hold on to their effin hats. Oh, and Tim and Zac are out sick today. I will be on WRR today between 11 and 1, but then out most of the rest of the day. This seems like poor timing, no?
