Random Courthouse Observations
- Learned that random drug testing of athletes occurred at Decatur High on Monday or Tuesday
- Saw a pretty good spat between lawyer and client, to-wit:
Client: Do you have a law license?
Attorney (angrily): Do you want [my associate to deal with instead?]. We are done here!
Client (to person passing by): Don't ever use this guy as a lawyer. He's piss poor.
- I told one of my clients he had time to run to McDonalds for lunch. Didn't know he was going to take over an hour.

Maybe Bridgeport should do a random test, or do they really want to know?
Hooray for the client.
If you had told him to drive to McDonalds, he probably would have been back in less than 30 minutes.
Excellent point 4:33.
I'm still lauhing!!!!
Sorry, that should have been "Laughing", dang it I forgot the "g". My bad.
DO YOU DO ANY WORK? YOU YOU ARE A PATHETIC LITTLE MAN, EVERYONE KNOWS YOU ARE A JOKE
I graduated from Bridgeport in 1999 and we had to take random drug tests at that time in order to participate in any extracuricular(spelling) activity. Whether it was band, sports, theatre arts, or ag mechanics. Sounds like Decatur is just a little behind, like almost 10 years.
You may want to collect some facts before you open your fat mouth. On second thought I may want to make sure they still do that, however I am fairly positive things haven't regressed.
lauhing!!!!
Is probably the correct spelling when typing after reading something funny that hits you hard.
If Bridgeport tested 10 years ago, it was a local decision. Now the state has mandated testing and they pick the schools at random, who then pick the UIL participants at random to be tested. Basically a fricking joke put forth by ignorant politicians who endlessly react with a knee-jerk so that they appear to be "doing the will of the people." Yeah, stearoids are a huge problem among band kids (those that use them are much better at dancing while holding a susaphone during the half-time of football games). At least this testing should rid our high schools of those 'roided up 100 lb freshman girls who may have gained a competitive advantage in sub-varsity volleyball games. Kudo's to Tom Craddick, Dewhurst, Duncan, Perry, et al. on tackling a tough problem in our high schools - tax money well spent. Frickin' worthless pieces of human debris! Who cares if they smoke weed and don't graduate as long as they don't gain a competitive advantage at UIL activities.
Just curious Barry but why did you stop selling advertising? I am fairly certain you get enough hits on your page to make an extra grand a month with 3 or 4 paying customers. Just sayin.....
Lordy 5:26 ease up a bit there tiger.
Everybody blames the politicos for the retarded drug testing of high schoolers. It's not their fault-it's ours. I'll BET you though there is a connection one way or another between the politicians and the labs that do the testing. I'll have to say that again,you know when you say something bold and regret it because it may not hold up well? This isn't one of those times. I'll BET there is some connection
Maybe you should have suggested he drive instead.
What is pathetic, is the 5:26 "commentor (sp?)". No humor, no cleverness, etc.--just pointless meanness. And to answer your question--Barry is a VERY hard-working, diligent, and knowledgeable attorney, who represents all of his clients with extremely competent professionalism (and no, I don't work for him). He also has a very good character trait--the ability to laugh at life and himself when it's called for. And only the very foolish think he's a "joke".
What most people don't understand is that a regular run of the mill standard drug test doesn't even test for steroids. It is too expensive to administer tests that include indicator's for steroids that they only randomly issue them for NCAA athletes. At least that is what I was told by a NCAA athlete who I know was using, and his information came from the training staff.
5:26 what's your beef? I don't get it!
Are Bridgeport's random drug tests STILL voluntary like they used to be, or are they now mandatory?Get YOUR facts straight.
Decatur's tests are the result of the newly initiated UIL mandatory random drug testing of student athletes. It could happen to any school in the state.
9:25, I believe the UIL tests DO test for steroids.
In Bridgeport, you could not participate in extracurricular activities unless you agreed to random drug tests. This has been the policy for many years. I don't think many tests were done but the policy did act as a deterent. Sometimes, it gave kids an excuse to not give in to peer pressure. I know that would apply to very few but if it helped one kid say no, I would say the program was successful.
