1. The best day of the year in Dallas arrives tomorrow. The Greenville Avenue St. Patrick’s Day Parade kicks off at 10 a.m. and goes to 6 p.m. I’ll be there as I’ve been every year for the past 15 or so, enjoying the camaraderie, sipping on one green adult beverage every two hours, amazed at how orderly the majority of the 75,000 revelers are. And, like every, year, I’ll giggle that Avi Adelman gets more pub for his 20-person campaign against the parade. Please ignore that, and I’ll see you tomorrow.
2. Better grades for doing less schoolwork! Where is this dastardly scheme being considered? NO! Not in DISD schools. In Plano middle schools! And, since Channel 11 only quoted a few teachers and parents about a plan that may be being considered, I’d hold off on freaking out about that just yet. But what do I know? I’m a public school kid.
3. Gov. Rick Perry’s decision to turn down $555 million in stimulus funds designed to go to expanded unemployment benefits has Democrats threatening to overturn him. The great Bud Kennedy suggests the unemployed Tweet the guv. C’mon, Bud, they’re a little busy looking for jobs on LinkedIn.
