Leading Off (2/9/10)

1. Former Houston mayor Bill White and hair care magnate (a phrase I enjoy typing) Farouk Shami had what might be their only debate last night in Fort Worth, as they vie for the chance to be ignored by everyone in the governor’s race. If you missed it, there’s a live blog right here.

2. The mayors of Dallas, Fort Worth, and Arlington are all on the same page regarding their priorities for Super Bowl XLV. The weird thing? It’s page 275 from The Da Vinci Code.

3. “An off-duty police officer is accused of hitting two bar workers and pulling a gun on them because they refused to let him back inside after closing.” Kind of getting deja vu, as that’s exactly how my career in law enforcement ended. Now, I just fight crime in my spare time.
