• David Dewhurst Says “Obama Ought To Be Impeached”: Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst called for President Barack Obama’s impeachment at a Tea Party meeting in Tarrant County yesterday, the Texas Observer reports. “This election is about protecting you and your freedoms, which are given to you by God, but which are being trampled on by Barack Obama right now. I don’t know about you, but Barack Obama ought to be impeached,” Dewhurst told supporters. “Not only for trampling on our liberties, but what he did in Benghazi is just a crime.” There was more excitement to be had later on in the evening. Observerreporter Christopher Hooks later tweeted:

• Dallas County Reports Early Flu Death: Dallas County officials reported its first adult flu-related death of the season. The Dallas Morning News reports that the case is unusual because flu-related deaths of adults are not required to be reported to public health departments.  Zachary Thompson, director of the Dallas County Health and Human Services Department, encourages everyone to get a flu shot while the supply is plentiful. Since the government shutdown, the CDC’s flu tracker has not been updated, but Google has been tracking flu trends.
