U.S. Rep.-elect Nick Lampson taken to hospital

From the The Houston Chronicle

U.S. Rep-elect Nick Lampson, D-Stafford, was taken to the hospital this evening after eating dinner and complaining to his wife, Susan, that he wasn't feeling well, according to Lampson spokeswoman Carrie Chess.

Lampson had not eaten all day and had not had a day off since the election last month, Chess said.

He was preparing to start his vacation Friday. He walked into St. John Hospital in Clear Lake on his own and was taking routine tests to make sure he was OK, Chess said late tonight.

I guess this is the spot where we're supposed to blame * for one reason of another.

It's official: Snead Transfers

From BevoBeat

Texas backup quarterback Jevan Snead signed his transfer papers Friday and is free to attend another school.

In addition, defensive end Chris Brown and offensive lineman Greg Dolan have been granted released by Texas so that they can transfer.

Can't say I'm surprised. There's some legitimate debate over whether he'll end up being better than Colt McCoy. At least we've avoided Major vs. Chris: Round 2... for now.
