1. Looks like Detroit (eh, Bloomfield Hills) is getting even with us for stealing Comerica Bank. Pulte Homes is buying Centex for $1.3 billion. Said Timothy Eller, Centex’s CEO, “By acting decisively now, we’re creating unrivaled firepower to capitalize on the opportunities in homebuilding that are now becoming visible on the horizon.” So if you plan to buy a new home, expect to get shot at.
2. Dave Levinthal reports that a quarter of the Dallas City Council candidates haven’t bothered to vote in recent elections. Lead-footed Brint Ryan has been just as remiss as gun-loving Chazz Redd. Tsk, tsk.
3. Did you know that Cowboys tight end Martellus Bennett has a blog over at the DMN? It started a week ago. Yesterday, he weighed in on whether women should fart, concluding: “I guess women have to let go at times too but it just doesn’t seem right, but if they do then it shouldn’t smell or make a sound.” I think we can all agree that Bennett is wise beyond his years and that his blog definitely belongs your RSS reader.
