1. It’s primary day! I’m voting, as always, for the late Richard Pryor.
2. The Mavs beat the Charlotte Bobcats (and the NBA schedule makers), making it eight straight. Making it even tougher: they did it while Bono, Tom Petty, and a really angry lady watched courtside. (Assist: @ninophile.)
3. City departments are being asked to cut operating costs for the coming budget year. Among the ideas being floated: allowing animals to self-govern the zoo and ending $1 you-call-it happy hours at the City Hall cafeteria. Dark days ahead.
