- That raid of the polygamist compound is getting weirder and weirder. Now pictures have surfaced of Sheriff's Deputies in an armored tank-like vehicle. And "[t]he 416 children held by Texas authorities had been accompanied by 139 women until Monday, when officials ordered all the women away except for those whose children are under 5." What exactly is our government doing? And, really, why? There is lots of speculation but no proof.
- But those compound ladies look like they just walked out of Little House on The Prairie.
- The Pope doesn't seem very friendly.
- I'm about to give up on your Texas Rangers. And did you see that no one covered second on a throw by the catcher yesterday?
- Hey, now.
- Any story on "Cheese Heroin" seems to have a sense of sensationalism.
- We've got another DNA exoneration in Dallas. This one - who just happens to be black - has been in prison for 23 years. Those Henry Wade years were very bad years. And can you imagine the number of innocent people in prison who do not have DNA to come to their rescue?
- The concept of "iced coffee" does not appeal to me.
- Oil reached $114 a barrel yesterday. Devon printed more money.
- 18 cents of every gallon of gas goes to federal taxes. I don't know how much goes to state taxes.
- A blurry picture of me and W 10 years ago.
- I haven't driven down the new section 380 yet. I want to.
- I had forgotten that Texas Sen. John Cornyn, in the wake of violence against judges a couple of years ago, opined that it could be due to the judiciary being "activists." What an idiot. (This was mentioned in the Supreme Court book I just finished - apparently former Justice Sandra Day O'Connor called him out on it.)
- I think I'd like being a mailman.
- American Airlines pilots were picketing in Dallas yesterday. You don't see many female pilots.
- The motorcyclist in Dallas who ended up dead but not found for a few hours (I posted it a couple of days ago) had his wallet taken by homeless people. Tonight, Steve Egar of Fox 4 called them "bandits." When does one qualify as a bandit?

In reference to "hey now" I bet she likes her "pole"
20 cents to the state
That picture of you and Dumya looks like you're giving him the "You gonna get raped" eyes.
That is a M113 armored personnel carrier in the FLDS compound picture. It is lightly armored against small arms fire, but is certainly not "tank-like." A tank would make short work of a M113.
Why is it being called the Polygamist Compound? I'm very wary when the media or gobernment either one tries to inluence my opinion of someone I know nothing about. All you need is that label and those folks already have about Eleventy billion strikes against them.Whether the guns were pointed in OR out, were there armed guards in towers? Fences or walls (if present)were they there to keep people in or out?
I'm not going to try to sound like an insider or anything goofy like that but,confidential sources who are on the cutting edge of this investigation report to me 1) severe compartmentalizing of this operation. 2)"This is big" 3) "There was some crazy stuff going on in there" 4)"Very,very wierd is all I can say"
There was reportedly a large room with beds where males over the age of 17 were allowed to have sex with female children. I hope against hope if there is security footage of that area it proves that their children took naps in real beds during the day and not,Dear God what has been reported.
Well,reporting to you live from the once divorced Church of Christ Compound in Parker County,where you can find people raising at LEAST one child that belongs neither of the parents. This compound can be particularly crowded on weekends with people lying passed out in chairs and in sleeping bags on the floor. A big,loving family or is something more sinister lurking-you decide.
She can vault my pole anytime. Hey someone was going to say it, sooner or later. I just thought I'd get it out of the way.
On the DNA exonerations my cop bud said,"What you'll find in most of these cases is their conviction wasn't upheld more than they were found innocent,in other words their guilt wasn't proved by the evidence but neither was their innocence." And,"What you are going to see for awhile will look like a mass exodus out of the prisons,then that will taper off as the science is understood,right now it's faking out even the judges."
20 cents per gallon which is 3.6 cents below average.
The M113 armored carrier pictured isn't equipped as pictured for forced entry. There are commercially available and ad hoc devices that can be attached to the vehicle to ram doors,tear down walls and inject teargas. The law is saying they wanted it on hand for possible casualty extraction.
Bandit? Are you kidding? That's retarded.
Anytime the media or government tries to make me afraid of anything that info. is immediately and definitely suspect.
The bad thing thing about this? I was walking through the living room turning everything off one night when Steve Eger came on saying to the effect "Coming up information about a deadly virus that could save you or your childrens lives." I turned it off anyway and then immediately thought,"Why did you do that? Oh well if the infected aren't gobbling my brain for breakfast I'll look it up in the morning and see what Barry thinks about the whole deal."
Why would you display a picture of you and Bush on your blog and not also apologize or explain why you feel the need to do it. That picture and whatever caused you to pose with that pathetic creature must really haunt you? Surely you have asked to be forgiven.
Barry, the picture of you and W brings about the question raised by Stephen King in The Dead Zone. If you were able to go back in time to that moment, and you knew that he would become the President that he has become, would you do anything to stop W when you had the chance?
Are you cross-eyed in that picture. It kinda scared me a bit.
Iced coffee? Terrible,I've tried a dozen kinds. I think too many people are ashamed to admit how awful it tastes.
Tried Coffee Mates Blueberry Cobbler this morning,it should have been called Blueberry Vomit.
Cowbell,why would he stop him from being one of our greatest presidents?
Maybe you should go visit you parents. That would give you an opportunity to drive 380.
George W. Bush will be viewed as one of our most disastrous presidents. We may never regain our reputation in the world. Bush will mark the end of the "American Century" of leadership and respect. Just my opinion. Let's check back in 50 years for an evaluation.
Barry, This is a sincere question. You bring up quite often those in prison who are innocent. Is it something wrong with the system, bad defense attorneys or what? What would you propose? Just wondering.
CPS needs a whole lot of revamping. Case workers are changed on a regular basis - I suppose from burnout - anyway guess who gets caught in the snares of all that? The children, of course.
Who can make much sense of CPS taking children FROM their mothers in this freaky situation? Are they blaming them for what happened? Those poor women were brainwashed too.
What a horrific situation for all and certainly a legal maze.
Sad.
9:30 - now now, Bush the righteous is running around this week with the Pope.
This should gain him some really good spiritual points.
Bush is an embarrassment to the United Methodist Church. Maybe the Pope will take him in.
Is that a pic of the girls rescued from the compound? Where do you sign up to go to that church?
3:53....If you think Bush is an embarrassment to the Methodist, what did Bill clinton do to the Baptist? I am a lifelong Methodist and still proud of President Bush. You may be ashamed of him but don't try to speak for an entire denomination.
