We just dodged a bullet in North Texas - Officially there’s still a tornado watch

We’ve just been under torrential rain here in DFW for the last hour and a half. We’ve also been under a tornado watch, but the eye of the tornado (which also contains golf-ball sized hailstones), has moved to East TX.

Use what god gave you and make the best of your situation

I saw this picture while browsing the web and thought what a fitting caption it would make for this thing we call life.

Classic spin control

Last night FOX NEWS did not even mention a single thing about Barack Obama’s passport breach. This was big breaking news across all the major networks yesterday.
