Valentine's Day is Coming!
We lead our morning emails with news from around the Internet, grapevine items, and stuff that's too racy to print on the website. It's too intellectual for Facebook. It's exclusive to the LIVE! Daily Email.
Valentine’s is Feb. 14. Call the official San Angelo LIVE! Valentine’s Flowers Headquarters today to get your flowers for your sweetheart ordered! Go here. Or, Click to Call.
Oh me. The Senior Sage of San Angelo Politics called to scold me yesterday.
It went something like this:
Senior Sage: “I read your email yesterday and I’m wondering when Wendy Davis ever was in favor of Chinese abortions?”
Me: “Whaaaa?”
Senior Sage: “You wrote that Davis made a name for herself advocating for ‘Wonton’ abortions. Wonton is a Chinese soup.”
Me: [feeling deflated] “Oh. I meant ‘wanton’.”
A&M vs. Texas at lunch today. After the Senior Sage hung up, Bernay Sheffield called to ask if he could move the Texas A&M club’s meeting to a smaller room at Zentner’s. “I have a much larger lunchtime group that I need to make room for,” he said. “Of course,” I said. Then I peeked at the San Angelo LIVE! Events Calendar and learned that the larger group is the non-SEC school that sings those funny songs and wears orange and white. Upcoming events here.
Johnny Manziel checks into rehab. “The news that Johnny Manziel entered a treatment facility last week isn't surprising. Or it probably shouldn't be. The Cleveland Browns quarterback and former Texas A&M star has lived on the edge for a few years, and that has been well-chronicled.” More at Fox Sports.
Related at WaPo: “Browns’ dreams for Johnny Manziel, Josh Gordon have turned into uncertainty”. More here.
And so my day begins....
Gallup CEO: The Big Lie about 5.6% Unemployment. “If you, a family member or anyone is unemployed and has subsequently given up on finding a job -- if you are so hopelessly out of work that you've stopped looking over the past four weeks -- the Department of Labor doesn't count you as unemployed. That's right. While you are as unemployed as one can possibly be, and tragically may never find work again, you are not counted in the figure we see relentlessly in the news -- currently 5.6%. Right now, as many as 30 million Americans are either out of work or severely underemployed. Trust me, the vast majority of them aren't throwing parties to toast "falling" unemployment. There's another reason why the official rate is misleading: More at Gallup.
