Alrightee. Back from a flash-bang tour of the Midwest, including stops at the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. And I see there is plenty of crap to wade thru. Let’s get started:
- CATS and CDOT planners caused a firetruck to hit an SUV. Their dopey reworking of the Woodlawn and South Blvd. intersection is mega-dangerous. Everyone knows this. But does not say so because that would mean criticizing light rail. Someone will die there.
- Can we officially stop paying attention to anything Extreme Makeover related in the QC? Please?
- Coach K acts like his bullying, boorish self in Beijing, mocking a reporter’s English for daring to ask an uncomfortable question. In-house dook reporter Luciana Chavez does not even report the exchange as far as I can tell, let alone hold K up for ridicule. I told you this would happen.
- Cokie Roberts wants Barack Obama to vacation in Myrtle Beach? I can’t believe all those words can go together in one sentence.
- I see that other folks have noticed that Beijing has a curious number of empty seats at many of the events. I even noticed some at the women’s platform diving last night, which was a China showcase event. Let’s if NBC covers this at all.
- And someone else noticed that events in Georgia are straight out of the Ghost Recon shooter video game that came out in 2001. Except for the US Special Forces going to fight. Right?
- Live by the courts, die by the courts. That $700m. that NC public schools thought that they’d won just went poof. Judge Howard Manning left it up to the General Assembly to decide what to do next, which means very little if any “new” money to supply the funds Manning ruled the state owes the school systems.
Anything else I miss?
