Repeat Tweets: Depp and DiCaprio Together

Repeat tweets from December, 2013:

  • 1 Dec 2013: What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993): Depp and DiCaprio together, back when they played ordinary, believable characters. Less is more. A-
  • 1 Dec 2013: With the losses by Skyline and Jesuit, District 9-5A is out of the football playoffs. It's now time for basketball to take center stage!
  • 4 Dec 2013: MT @SenTedCruz: "Restoring economic growth ought to be a bipartisan objective." So should ensuring every American has health care. #wacko
  • 5 Dec 2013: Headline: "Tom Pauken Drops Race For Governor." He finally realized that voters don't want a candidate whose top issue is the Vietnam War.
  • 6 Dec 2013: MT @ezraklein: "Unusually strong jobs report today. +203,000 jobs. Unemployment down for the right reasons." GOP blames Obamacare.

The Hobbit - The Desolation of Smaug (2013)

The Hobbit - Smaug (2013): Tolkien would recognize it. Jackson added love interest, some humor and lots of mind-numbing CGI action. C+

Lookout, TCEQ is Coming to Plano


The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has prepared a draft permit which, if approved, would establish the conditions under which the new Lookout Trash Transfer Station (LOTS) must operate. The TCEQ has made a preliminary decision that this permit meets all statutory and regulatory requirements. Naturally, dissatisfaction with this decision is directly proportional to proximity to the site.

After the jump, the next act in this long-running drama.
