IN THE SPIRIT OF VALENTINE'S DAY:
Tomorrow is a big day for you and me, Alan.
Tomorrow will be the two-week anniversary of the date that I first asked you when you were going to run the Yarmulke story on Pat Lykos.
Still no story. And not a word out of you about where you've been or why you haven't run it!
Have you been blogging with somebody else?!?! Is it Pat Lykos?!?!?
You know, if this relationship is going to work out, we're both going to have to work on it.
I just don't feel like you are giving 100% of yourself.
Sincerely yours,
AHCL

Calling B.S. on KHOU.com
KHOU.com ran a story on it's website today that ran under the title "Is Local DA Courting Trouble?" It's a preview for a story that is going to run on Channel 11 tonight. (NOTE: After the story runs, that link may not show the same thing that it currently shows).
If you read the preamble of the story, it addresses a "local DA's office" that is using asset forfeiture funds to host parties where booze is served.
Nowhere in the story does it indicate which county they are talking about. Given the current climate, I would gather that probably 99.9% of the viewers just assumed it was the Harris County District Attorney's Office.
However, there's a problem with that, because it isn't the Harris County D.A.'s Office. Those of us who have spent time at the CJC recognize that the brief snippets of the D.A.'s Office in focus can clearly recognize that it isn't Harris County.
Shame on Jeremy Rogalski for deliberately promulgating this assumption. Would it have really ruined the surprise of the story to just name the county that they were investigating?
Doesn't Harris County already have enough problems?
