1. Here’s a story Kevin Krause probably didn’t have to work too hard to get: “County commissioners don’t agree with DA’s budget stance.” He probably could have written the quotes from Ken Mayfield, et al., and no one would have noticed. He also won’t have to work too hard on the follow-up from Watkins’ side, or the follow-up to the follow-up, or the follow-up to the follow-up to the follow-up, and so on. Basically, everyone involved just gave Kevin Krause a paid vacation for the next two weeks.
2. A year after a raid at the Rainbow Lounge by Fort Worth Police and TABC officers set off a firestorm of protest, Police Chief Jeff Halstead and members of the gay community sat down for a barbecue dinner at the bar. Also of note: the story I linked to was written by Mitch Mitchell, the long dead drummer of the Jimi Hendrix Experience. So that’s something.
3. People may give him a hard time, but Mark Cuban may be the key to the Mavericks landing LeBron James. Yes, I know — there’s like 10 percent chance of that happening. Maybe less. But until it officially doesn’t happen, keep your trap shut. Me? I’m going to go back to listening to this.
