1. Rick Perry hired a plane to fly over Kay Bailey Hutchison’s campaign rally yesterday at Eddie Dean’s Ranch. The plane pulled a banner that read: “Kay come clean — release your taxes!”

2. Claire Garza plays her viola at nursing homes and hospitals, and she teaches music to children. Except her viola was stolen, and now she can’t. Let’s all keep our eyes and ears open, people. If your neighbor suddenly starts playing “Devil Went Down to Georgia” on his new viola at all hours, call Rick Perry. He’ll hire a guy to fly a plane over your neighbor’s house, pulling a banner that reads: “Fiddler come clean — return that viola!” (Maybe not my best joke. But it’s better than the first one I came up with, which involved the term “F hole.”)

3. Message to homeowners: sometimes when you see a guy working on your electric meter in the backyard, that guy is not a thief. He works for Oncor. Don’t shoot at him.
