IT'S GON GET COOL
Brought to you by "the black-u weather forcast" on Family Guy. We'll get some rain in the morning tomorrow, then it will seriously cool off. Not before we hit 105 today, though. Tomorrow, it's supposed to be in the low 80s. We're ready for cold weather, but nothing pisses us off like girls wearing flip flops and a coat. Are you with us, or what?

Tom DeLay in the Hot Seat
We told you a while back about Tom's involvement, which he claimed was barely any, since he didn't really know what was going on, with the 2002 conspiracy in using corporate money for his campaign . Well, he's sitting pretty today, waiting to find out if he'll be indicted. If he is, Tom won't lose his seat in congress, but will have to step down as Majority Leader. Martha did not send him a "best wishes" bouquet, maybe because she knows how things like this can boost your professional career.

Graffiti, the Tell-Tale Sign
Sorry, but we found it hilarious when we went to KXAN's homepage , and above the headline saying something like "gangs are back in austin," there's a picture of graffiti. We're sure this is somehow related to gangs, but we can't help but think of a Talk Soup bit showing morning co-hosts, we think it was Katie and Matt, trying to figure out what "talk to the hand" meant, way, way after the "talk to the hand" heyday. Wow. We never thought we'd say "talk to the hand" heyday. Well, whoomp, there it is people. In all fairness to KXAN, no gang members could be reached to pose for a picture before the deadline.
