Remember yesterday morning, when I quoted and linked a KHOU-11 story on the mayor’s daughter being picked up for DWI? Well, the story, originally posted at 11:39 AM, has been edited ever so slightly, without any notice of that fact–except that it now bears a 4:25 PM timestamp..

Yesterday’s text, still preserved my original quote:

The mayor’s officer confirmed that 17-year-old Elena White was pulled over in the 9800 block of Memorial Drive around 12:15 a.m. Monday. Precinct 5 officials said she was spotted because she was driving without her headlights on. She was driving her father’s car, the Toyota Prius.

“It’s a lesson: People shouldn’t be out that late, after 11 o’clock she was pulled over,� Mayor White said while picking up his daughter.

Note that 11 PM bit? Now that’s what KHOU says too–same article, edited:

Elena White, 17, was pulled over in the 9800 block of Memorial Drive around 11 p.m. Monday.

The Chronicle also states 11 pm, instead placing the call to Mayor White’s house at 12:15. I didn’t notice in the original article, whether it said the arrest was about 11 PM or 12:15. KTRK-13 says 11 PM.

So, given that it’s a 23 hour change (not one hour, both say Monday) it looks like KHOU made a boo-boo and quietly erased it. But I’d like to know for sure. Heck, I’d really like to see that tape, and in full.

There’s a few other things happening around the city that got buried beneath that story:

• Per Newsradio KTRH 740 AM, Jack (soon to be Julia) Oliver has accepted a transfer from patrol duty to a desk job as a supervisor at HEC. I bet that’s going to raise morale at the troubled facility. Oh well, it’s what I called for a couple of months ago: removal of this officer from patrol duty.
  

  HPD Deputy Director Craig Ferrell said the mutual agreement was made to allow Oliver a more flexible schedule so she can take time off for the surgical procedures over the next year.

• From KTRK-13 Another teacher’s been making whopee with the students. Female art teacher this time. This one’s a little past her prime. Eww.
• And from KPRC-2, Time Warner gives away Houston, to Comcast. Maybe now I can get TAN. TW won’t even put it in the VOD lineup. Good god, people, this is HOUSTON, the space city! How can you be “world-class” without The Anime Network?
• Texas A&M, jealous of all the free publicity Yale got for having a member of the Taliban studying there, has hired a new diversity director. If he hurries, maybe he can find a member or two of Hezbollah still alive to enroll.

I’m sure there’s more out there, but that’s all the stupidity I can stomach for now…
