Haven’t had this much fun reading an article in a while. From quips about Bundt cakes to a simile involving Country Time lemonade to meandering thoughts and a donkey on English countryside footpaths — all while looking for Tom Cruise — it was a delight from beginning to end.

After Gov. Abbott’s office initially said in a press release Sunday that all five victims in the shooting in Cleveland were undocumented, a spokesperson for Abbott is now saying they’ve learned at least one victim may have been in the US legally. “We regret if the information was incorrect and detracted from the important goal of finding and arresting the criminal.”

Hey @latimes - yes John and I used to be married. We are now friends and share a wonderful son together. In this context I am not an “ex wife,” I am a veteran journalist with decades of experience who worked hard for this role. Do better please.
