1. Norman Brinker died this morning while on vacation in Colorado Springs. He turned $10,000 and a small bank loan into a casual dining behemoth (Chili’s, On the Border, Maggiano’s), which is more than most people ever accomplish in their lives.

2. Cristal Taylor’s trial has been delayed, apparently. I think I speak for everyone when I say, thank God this is dragging out.

3. If you missed the Cindy Sheehan-led protest near the Bushes’ home yesterday, here’s a recap. And I’m sure there will be another one. Sorry, Feherty.
