Afternoon Briefs: NRA files for bankruptcy; Boies Schiller partner is arrested
NRA files for bankruptcy, plans Texas move
The National Rifle Association announced Friday that it is filing for bankruptcy, leaving New York and moving to Texas to reincorporate there as a nonprofit. New York Attorney General Letitia James has said she sees the move as an attempt to evade accountability after her office sought to dissolve the charitable group for alleged misspending. James has planned to oppose any effort to avoid her office’s oversight. The NRA said it is moving to be “free from the toxic political environment of New York.” (The New York Times, CNN, press releases here and here)

The Biggest Burger in Texas Is Not Too Far Away in Arlington
They always say everything is bigger in Texas, this restaurant is actually the biggest.for now.
There was a point in time, where I thought I was the king of food challenges and then a bunch here in Wichita Falls kicked my butt. You can see those videos above. The biggest one I ever tried was a seven pound burrito in town. I barely got to half and I couldn t fathom trying to eat anything bigger than that in my life.
If you can, head on down to Arlington and see the 20-pound burger at Salsa Joe s. It has a 5 1/2-pound bun, more than a pound of cheese, and a pound of pickles, it’s the biggest burger available on any menu in Texas. They call it El Gordo (The Fat One). However, don t just stop on by to get this thing. They say it takes about a day to prepare this thing, so give them at least 24 hours notice.
