A man has been charged in connection with leaving a house by the side of the road that he promised to move. Paul Morris Miller, 40, has been charged with illegal dumping, a state jail felony punishable by up to two years in a state jail.
Manor police stopped Miller on April 24 on U.S. 290 East because the two-story house that he was moving was so big that no traffic could pass him, according to an arrest warrant from the Travis County Sheriff’s office. Miller had no driver’s license and no permit to transport the load, the warrant said.
Since he was not legally able to transport the house, he left it in an open lot in the 11400 block of U.S. 290 East and agreed to have a driver with a valid driver’s license pick it up the next day, according to the warrant.
The house is still there, according to the affidavit.
Miller never picked up the house, the warrant said. He has been previously charged with the dumping of other homes in the past in Travis and Williamson counties, according to the warrant.

A Guide to U.S. Newspapers
1. The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country.
2. The New York Times is read by people who think they run the country.
3. The Washington Post is read by people who think they should run the country.
4. USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country but don’t really understand the Washington Post. They do, however like the smog statistics shown in pie charts.
5. The Los Angeles Times is read by people who wouldn’t mind running the country, if they could spare the time, and if they didn’t have to leave L.A. to do it.
6. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run the country.
7. The New York Daily News is read by people who aren’t too sure who’s running the country, and don’t really care as long as they can get a seat on the train.
8. The New York Post is read by people who don’t care who’s running the country either, as long as they do something really scandalous, preferably while intoxicated.
9. The San Francisco Chronicle is read by people who aren’t sure there is a country, or that anyone is running it; but whoever it is, they oppose all that they stand for. There are occasional exceptions if the leaders are handicapped minority, feministic atheist dwarfs, who also happen to be illegal aliens from ANY country or galaxy as long as they are democrats.
10. The Miami Herald is read by people who are running another country, but need the baseball scores

Mental Floss has a illustration & photo essay on the Gulags: then & now, that anyone who’s read the Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago will recognize.
I was just polled by Qunnipiac and was struck by how many questions I was unable to answer.
Questions like;
“Do you identify more with the Democratsor the Republicans?”
When I told the poll worker “neither” she said she’d have to put down “refused to answer”.
Another interesting tidbit was the 4-5 questions on “First Lady likeability”. Look for this to be in the media in the coming weeks.
Am I the only one who thinks that David Schor’s painting of the Second Coming Obama looks more like Bryant Gumbel?
