Dallas Cowboys Get Another Smith. This one’s named Tyron. Without an E. That is so weird.

Miss USA Says She Was Groped in Dallas. Susie Castillo, who was the 2003 Miss USA, used the Internets to say that a TSA agent at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport groped her. Only the TSA says they’ve interviewed the agent and found nothing wrong, and are going to the tape of the incident to make sure. In a related note, I haven’t watched a Miss USA pageant since 1991.

Campaigns Are Not For Doing the Maths. When Fort Worth mayoral candidate Cathy Hirt claimed in a forum that 47 percent of Fort Worth ISD students will not graduate, I’m sure people thought she misspoke. But then the same claim showed up in campaign material, too, and now the FWISD board is kind of politely asking what Hirt smoked, because the graduation rate is more like 76 percent to 80 percent.

The Case of the Sartorially Challenged Bank Robber. Listen, I’m no criminal mastermind (that you people know of), but if you’re gonna rob a bank, don’t you kind of dress for it? Maybe a disguise of some sort, and not whatever you bought at Forever 21 last week?

So, Did Anything Interesting Happen This Morning? No? Good. As you were.
