News Flash (“Nothing to see here”)

I watched the news last night (12/03/15), Channel 8 in Dallas. Here’s what I learned:

– Remember the kid who got drunk, killed four people, and got probation because of “affluenza” (so rich that his parents never taught him right from wrong)? He failed to report to his parole officer, and he and his mom are missing. (If they find him, what’s the penalty for a second case of affluenza–double-secret probation?)

– There’s a refugee family from Syria that some people don’t want in the state.

– An out-of-control NFL fan was treated too roughly by some security guards.

– People can’t believe that terrorism struck in San Bernardino, CA.

– There’s an Amber Alert for two kids that are with their parents, and CPS is hot on their trail.

– Someone flew a drone that hit AT&T stadium (and then fell harmlessly to the ground).

– Republicans don’t like Obamacare.

– Someone could be forging signatures on a petition to curb noisy wedding events in a Dallas neighborhood.

– Someone stole a guy’s dog.

– Another dog owner either burned his dog or the dog turned the stove on by itself.

– Dallas roads have potholes.

– Kids can get hurt playing sports, and doctors think they can treat them.

– Someone stole a guy’s small train (the kind you might see at an amusement park).

– We have the strongest El Nino in 45 years, and El Nino years are wetter and colder than normal. As an example, the normal precipitation in December is 1.7″. In El Nino years, it’s 4.0″. But in strong El Nino years, it’s 2.5″. What’s wrong with this picture?
