Not really -- at least not yet -- but because this post has been out there on the Tubes (and has been linked elsewhere) I woke up this morning to ten times the usual traffic to the blog.
The man has lost 90 pounds since March using the Quick Loss system. That's probable cause. Although he also told the hospital he was on pain medication for an ailing back ... while previously seen golfing on his Hawaiian vacation.
Too bad he's not recovering in the same hospital that Obama was born in. That would be the karmic payback of the decade. They could have served him a copy of the birth certificate as an enema.

Quan in (and other candidate filings)
-- Martha and John (why, it's almost as if they're the same person!) have posts up about Gordon Quan's entry to the race for Harris County judge. I am not as enthusiastic as I was before I learned that Quan endorsed two Republicans -- MJ Khan and Stephen Costello -- in the recently-concluded Houston municipal elections. But my cooling to his candidacy makes him no less a force against "Hunker Down" Ed. Charles has more.
-- Grits has some of the state's judicial filings. Democrats are still short on candidates for Texas Supreme Court and the regional Courts of Appeals, as well as Congressional challengers.
-- So far the statewide executive ballot for Texas Democrats in March looks like this:
Governor: Bill White, Farouk Shami, Bill Dear, Alma Aguado, Felix Rodriguez
Lt. Governor: Ronnie Earle, Marc Katz
Attorney General: Barbara Ann Radnofsky
Comptroller of Public Accounts:
Commissioner of Agriculture: Kinky Friedman, Hank Gilbert
Commissioner of the General Land Office: Bill Burton of Athens
Chief Justice, 1st Court of Appeals: Morris Overstreet of Houston
Justice, 14th Court of Appeals, Place 5 - Unexpired Term: Wally Kronzer of Houston
Justice, 14th Court of Appeals, Place 9: Tim Riley of Houston
Justice, 1st Court of Appeals, Place 8: Unexpired Term: Robert Ray of Houston
Justice, 3rd Court of Appeals, Place 4: Kurt Kuhn of Austin
Justice, 4th Court of Appeals, Place 2: Unexpired Term: Rebeca C. Martinez of San Antonio
Justice, 5th Court of Appeals, Place 12 - Unexpired Term: Lawrence J. Praeger of Dallas
Justice, Texas Supreme Court, Place 9: Blake Bailey of Tyler
(These are candidate filings as posted at the TDP's website as of today.)
Did I miss anybody? The deadline is next Monday.
