When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. Favorite Hunter S. Thompson tweet that has served me well during a career marketing sports, brands and politics.

Strike a blow for integrity and putting country and Texas over party! Also, it does bring up a question. Did Ken Paxton stiff, or as it is called in the legal world Trump, his attorney?

NEWS — Ken Paxton’s impeachment defense lawyer is endorsing Democrats James Talarico for Senate, @NOTUSreports scoops

Dan Cogdell, who represented Paxton in his 2023 impeachment trial and several personal cases, told NOTUS in a statement that Paxton “has lost sight of his core mission”

Cogdell is well-connected in Texas GOP politics, and has represented top state party officials. He donated $6,500 to Paxton’s campaign, contributing as recently as last year

But he’s been critical of Trump. A clip of him calling Trump the “greatest threat” to democracy was even turned into an NRSC attack ad last year. It’s been scrubbed from the web.

Talarico said in statement “if you voted for John Cornyn, you have a place in this campaign.”

Looks like the @jamestalarico for Senate campaign anticipated what Paxton would use coming out of the gate. Have prepared their own parries and thrusts. See the @dallasnews article from today.

Sad. It seemed like golf and SI were sewn together. From your writing to Dan Jenkins to @ReillyRick it was required reading after a major. The issue after Jack Nicklaus won the Masters in ‘86 was among the best ever. Also remember the special weekly golf edition. Seems like the owners of @SInow sculled the chip

Not since Fiorello LaGuardia read the comics to kids via the radio has a New York mayor done as much for the city’s youth. https://t.co/FHe2FKZ0pz

Herschel Walker runs the 100 better than he ran for Senate!

[Time Capsule Tales @timecaptales]

In 1987, Herschel Walker faced Darrell Green, Jose Canseco and Danny Sullivan in a 100 yard dash race.

@InspGadgetBlogs Young Frankenstein. Although Casablanca was pretty good too.

There are a number of independents and moderate Republicans who have had enough with the double standards and the politics of fear. The @dallasnews editorial this morning sums it up well.

[Jim Bloom @jamesabloom]

The @dallasnews is hardly a liberal editorial board. What they express here is the truth. It is time for Texas voters to stand up for facts and truth. We are a nation of equals , not bigots.

@SleeperAth Dick Williams was one of the great characters in the game. Spent a day with him during the 2002 playoffs. He was throwing a first pitch. If he wanted your opinion, he'd give it to you.

@HOFprez Is Doc Brown going into the Hall of Fame?

@ReillyRick You know, I had recently finished @genowoj terrific book All Carry. Perhaps the golfers need to be adults and accept responsibility for their actions. Rick your followers can order the book here https://t.co/FWGmPZlMrt

After a heck of a century, CBS Radio News is no longer. For those who’s want to read about an institutional foundation built on integrity read The Murrow Boys https://t.co/zdD0I6RT8U

Before you pass judgement on ex- Garrick Higgo caddie Austin Gaugert, I suggest reading Gene Wojciechowski excellent, recently released golf novel All Carry. https://t.co/FWGmPZlMrt

Many believe Pepsi will be served after this wedding, but it will be coke.

[Emily Goodin @Emilylgoodin]

President Trump said he'll try and make Don Jr's wedding to Bettina Anderson this weekend.
“He’d like me to go, but it’s going to be just a small little private affair, and I’m going to try and make it,” the president told reporters in the Oval Office.
The couple is getting married Saturday on a private island in the Bahamas.
“This is not good timing for me,” the president admitted, citing Iran and "other things."
Still, he admitted, “that’s one I can’t win on. If I do attend, I get killed. If I don’t attend, I get killed.”
