Tiger Blood Rained Down at AAC. But not from Charlie Sheen. No, instead, Kidd Kraddick, emcee of last night’s show, said he was the one everyone loved: “I was amazing at Charlie sheen show. They just couldn’t hear me cuz of all the booing. Lol.” However, a certain co-worker tweeted her response, “Kidd Kraddick booed more than Sheen. KK nervous. Sheen: “you told me these people loved you.” Kraddick #Losing.” Don’t worry about not having access to read this recap of the show. I consider not going to be me winning.

Investigation After Officer’s Slaying Leads to New Policies. Officer Jillian Michelle Smith was killed after responding to a domestic violence call. It has now been determined that the 911 operator and the dispatcher mishandled the call, thus causing them to either resign or be fired. It’s now a policy that two officers must respond to domestic violence calls. But this is just a temporary change, one that will be reviewed to see if it’s even necessary. Lessons were learned. Let’s just hope they’re remembered.

Let’s Get Rowdy. Or not. Tuesday in San Antonio at a Frisco RoughRiders game, umps declared a home run a ground-rule double. This caused Frisco players to throw trash cans and bats into the crowd, and, of course, the crowd reciprocated. I love sports. You never really know what’s going to happen–one minute you’re reaching for a foul ball, the next a trash can is nailing you in the head.

Found a Localized Royal Wedding Story, Finally! I don’t know if you are aware, but there’s this really large and important wedding happening tomorrow. While everyone’s been guessing and wondering about what Kate will wear, we at D have been racking our brains trying to find a way to localize the story. I thought about going with Tim’s tweet about how he’d rather watch the wedding than the NFL draft, but then I found this. It’s way sweeter than talking about the draft.
