Jenna Bush Tornado Free Wedding

The Jenna Bush wedding did not get hit by the line of storms that passed through north Texas yesterday.

Oh well.

I apologize to my 2 readers for once more succumbing to one of my more pathetic obsessions, but, this morning's Sunday Fort Worth Star-Telegram had the goofiest example yet of their bizarre policy of trying to tie any story to any remote pointless connection to Fort Worth.

I believe the Star-Telegram's #1 worst reporter is Anna Tinsley. She is the writer who over and over and over again repeated the nonsense that a lame Fort Worth food court was the first pubic market in Texas and was modeled after Seattle's Pike Place. I can remember 2 other glaring errors, one being in her description of trails at Bob Jones Park up by Lake Grapevine. The other being several bizarre mistakes in an article about a new section of trail at River Legacy Park.

So, in this morning's Star-Telegram, Anna Tinsley apparently was sent to Crawford to cover the Jenna Bush wedding.

Under a sub-headline "Texas 'royalty'" Miss Tinsley writes:

"It's like our royalty in Texas is getting married," said Stacy Wallace, a Temple woman who originally hails from Fort Worth. "I've been wanting to come by for some time, and I thought (Saturday) was the perfect day to do it."

She originally hails from Fort Worth? Why is this information we need? So, Miss Tinsley solicited the quote about Texas royalty, telling Miss Wallace she was a reporter for the Fort Worth paper and Miss Wallace then said she hailed from Fort Worth and so Miss Tinsley added that important fact to her story about the Jenna Bush wedding? Is that how this useless point ended up in the paper?

And what precisely does "hails from" mean? Comes from? Doesn't to hail something mean give a shout out to? Or call? Okay, I'll look it up. Well, after we get past the frozen version of hail and objects thrown forcefully through the air and an enthusiastic greeting and to praise vociferously we get to hail meaning to be a native of.

If Miss Wallace now lives in Temple does she still qualify as a native of Fort Worth?

I'm past caring now. Below is an amusing video about the Jenna Bush wedding. It sounds like the report comes from India.
