Random Friday Morning Thoughts


- Let the word go forth: Channel 5 was the first one to come its senses and bail out of the storm coverage last night.
- Neil Diamond is coming to Dallas. He's a modern day Wayne Newton. If that makes any sense. And when exactly did the lyrics of Sweet Caroline change to include "Baa. Baa. Baa."?
- It looks like the pastor of the "Should We Put Gays In The Pictorial Directory?" Church in Fort Worth has finally decided to call it quits.
- The Main Streets Art Festival in Fort Worth is almost worth going down there to see. Almost.
- The judge in the CPS Polygamy Compound case has no idea what she is doing. She called a recess after 40 minutes so the lawyers could look at the first exhibit? She didn't see that chaos coming? That's simple to remedy: Require copies of the exhibit be exchanged before the hearing. It happens all the time.
- Texas AG Greg Abbott is putting his face in front of every camera in connection with the Compound case. That guy is so full of crap. He justified the raid by saying that "you can't go busting into someone's home without probable cause." Oh, ok. That justifies entry by the cops anywhere and every time.
- A "Hey, Now" shout out to Debbie Gibson. Edit: Link fixed (although it ain't that great)
- The Bass Hall has been open 10 years. I've been in it once. Never for a concert.
- Vladimir Putin is a player.
- The Pope is going to "offer a blessing" at the World Trade location today. What exactly does that do?
- There was a 22 inning baseball game last night that lasted over 6 hours. Fifteen pitchers were used. One guy batted ten times.
- Edit: And our Sheriff sends me this link that demonstrates how not to be a Sheriff.
