1. Remember that e-mail Tim posted yesterday where the Plano parent was grousing about President Obama’s live speech to schoolkids? Turns out, Plano ISD has buckled like a belt and now decided not to show the talk. In fact, many local school districts are making it optional or not showing it. Way to show some backbone, guys. Jeez.

3. You know who else doesn’t do things just because people might get mad? “Mark,” the guy who sold duplicate tickets to two soldiers just back from Iraq, as well as six other people, causing all eight to get kicked out of last Saturday’s Cowboys game.
