- The AP did a story on Kenneth Copeland Ministries this weekend with the basic gist being: He's rich and so is his extended family. No surprises there.
- In a related note, they were discussing pastor wealth on KLIF this morning when I heard this odd caller: "I don't want my pastor driving a Hummer 2 with 26 inch rims, but if he has a standard Mercedes I don't have any problem with that." Huh?Actually watched the first half of the Cowboys/Giants playoff game from last year that I've had on my TIVO forever.
- Man, the testimony yesterday in the Intoxication Manslaughter case that killed the Fort Worth police officer was graphic. And with the blood-alcohol content of the driver being .20, I don't know why the defense lawyer just doesn't have the guy plead guilty, take responsibility, and have the jury assess punishment.
- But the defense lawyer, who was interviewed outside the courtroom, seems to struggle a little with his thoughts.
- I was bothered by this from the defense lawyer: "Sometimes blood alcohol tests may have some errors in it." Really? Breath tests, yes. Blood tests, not so much. And the prosecutor always has this ace in the hole: If our blood test was wrong, why didn't you take the sample an analyze it by your own experts?
- I saw some of the prosecutor's opening statement on TV and he did a good job. But this was an odd statement: "At the time he was making these choices, his alcohol level was over that objective limit," prosecutor Mark Thielman said. Why get fancy? Why not say is alcohol limit was "though the roof?"
- I had my iPhone lock up on me for only the second time in four or five months yesterday.
- Time waste? Some sportswriter in Oklahoma ranks in level of importance all of the 96 Big 12 games this year.
- Talked to a fellow lawyer yesterday who goes to Vegas every year for the opening weekend in the NFL. Good bit.
- Someone wrote in the comments about having trouble hearing the dialogue in the Batman movie. True that. I wanted subtitles.
- I'm through 9 episodes of the The Wire. Here's a bold statement: Best. TV. Series. Ever.
- Williamson County DA John Bradley (who used to be my nemesis but has turned out to be a really nice guy) emailed me to mention that he'll be speaking on blogs and ethics at the Advanced Criminal Law Course in San Antonio at the end of this month and that he'll mention my fine work here. I think he's amused at the Random Girl Pics every day.
- I almost went with this girl for today's pic.
- The Whataburger chicken salad is pretty good. But I think the lady on the speaker gets confused when I say "no dressing." (I use my own fat free stuff.)
- Apparently tires were getting worn down left and right at the NASCAR race at Indy this weekend. Here's what Dale Jr. had to say, "I've never seen nothing like it."
- Do you still have to register for the draft when you turn 18?
- After a week at an all inclusive resort, I only gained 2 pounds. (I think it takes a week or so for the extra weight to officially show up.)
- Flashback: 23 people killed in Luby's in Killeen in 1991. I'm pretty sure that gave rise to the concealed handgun law a few years later. (The shooting in the church in Tennessee this weekend made me think about it.)
- This youtube video has caused a NYC cop to be suspended.
- Suicide bombers killed 32 in Baghdad yesterday. Is The Surge really working?
- The "top party school" lists give me Tired Head. All of them on the new list make sense to me except for this entry at #6: Randolph-Macon College, Ashland, Va.
- And of course in a couple of years we'll have a new campus on the list: Weatherford College at Wise County, Texas.
- Documentary maker and Wise County commissioner Ken Burns is 55 today. Wait. Let me double check that.
- Not hearing much from the Global Warming naysayers right now, are we?

A friend and I had trouble hearing the dialogue when we saw the Dark Knight at Grapevine Mills.
We saw it again at the IMAX and had no problems at all......go figure!
what a dog..i wonder if'n she bites!!
Think you'd better double check which K. Burns has a birthday today and which one you're talking about BG. You be wrong Bubba! Commissioner Kevin Burns can only wish that was him. I loved the "born in Brooklyn NY" part too, but I doubt our Comm. Burns did.
.....unless you live in Alaska. Coldest winter there in several years.
That cop should have kicked that sissy boy in the back of the head also.
In today's high tech world, how could anyone be so ignorant that they fell for the tel-evangelist bit?
SHOULD HAVE GONE WITH YOUR GUT AND THE OTHER PIC.......SHE'S SMOKING!
Commissioner KEVIN Burns?
O'Bammy even said the surge is working. It's not nice to disagree with your boy.
Summer hot. Winter cold.
I went to Ole Miss. It's everything you've heard and much more.
May need a thought-process-explanation. The choice-not-taken girl is simply mind-boggling. The choice-taken girl is "meh" at best.
What's goin' on in that little Wise County melon of yours?
You don't have to register with the Selective Service unless you want to vote or get college financial aid. Therefore I guess in 90% of Wise county, the answer is no. (Recently went throught the process with my oldest son.)
I've always wondered how Kenneth Copeland counsels folks who are poor and in bad health.
A senator is hot on Copeland's heels. We'll hear more.
It's about time.
Yes, you still have to register with the Selective Service. My son got his new DL on his 18th birthday, and they also registered him with the Selective Service, and registered him to vote, all in one short time. Impressive service by the local DPS office. Good work, ladies!! (They were very efficient.)
Wow. Just saw where the state of Oregon sent a letter to a 53 year old terminally ill man refusing to cover agressive cancer treatment (he could live for 5 more years), but offering to cover "comfort care." Among the "comfort care" options, which include hospice-assisted suicide.
Gosh, can't wait for that universal health care. To be followed by legalization of assisted sucide nation wide. To be followed by-"Gee Granny, you sure haven't been feeling well, and it sure is a drain taking care of you (besides, the longer you're around, the less we'll inherit from you.)"
Weatherford College: Does anyone know if this is the normal process for a university or college to start a branch campus? That is, to have the local folks foot the bill through ANOTHER TAX. Is Arlington taxed for UTA? Is Corinth taxed for NCTC? I'd like more information on what's the norm in this kind of a situation before the vote in the fall.
I'm a global warming naysayer and proud of it. Is this abnormal for Texas? No! Last summer was abnormal and it was a cool, wet summer and stayed green all summer long. Remember, 1980 was our hottest summer, nearly 30 years ago. Weather fluctuates all the time, from year to year, day to day etc. That's why there is a thing in statistics called AVERAGES.
Definitely picked the wrong girl.
9;23-did you honestly not 'get' the joke?
I weep for the species.
Is the blonde with the Damien eyes the same one from yesterday's Random Thoughts?
I don't believe in conspiracy theories, but you might want to go back and check previous photos to see if she's in any of them as well. Something creepy (other than her eyes) might be going on.
If the girl with the volleyball had breasts bigger than golf balls I might agree, but, alas she comes up lacking severely
Some people were killed in Dallas yesterday. Are those homicide laws we have really working?
If Kenneth helps poor unsuspecting down trodden souls then why can't he make a lot of jack from it?
I think we are having global cooling. In fact, we might be heading for an ice age. Take a look at the July 1980 temperatures (not one day without a high of 100 or above). Historical temperatures are available on the NWS web site.
I think these preachers should ask themselves "What would Jesus do". I remember, as a child, driving by a mansion on Swiss Avenue in Dallas that was the home of First Baptist Church's Dr. Criswell. I did not understand it then and don't understand it now.
Preaching is big business, especially in the black communities where most ministers live at a much higher standard of living then the poor in the communities surrounding their churches. Take of look at Obama's minister's new home. It has 10,000 square feet and was given to Wright by the poor black people of Chicago. According to the United Church of Christ, they were providing adequate housing. What would be adequate for Jesus?
The surge must be working. Those assholes haven't blown another building on our soil. I would say that Iraq is a good killing field. Concentrate the enemy and shoot them in Iraq, not in America. We don't have to hire lawyers for them as we do when they are arrested (instead of being shot) on American soil.
6:25 i doubt you'll run into any of these rich-living preachers in heaven..but who am i to judge..it's possible they are bringing so many souls to jesus that they will have life eternal..only god knows..???
wow..i picked this chick up at reds a while back, i was so drunk that i didn't realize until i woke up what a dog she was..a real coyote date man, my arm was under her so i chewed of both of my arms because i knew they would be looking for a one-armed man!!
I VOTE FOR "W" TO BE KING WITH NO MORE CONGRESS OR COURTS TO STOP US FROM CLEANING UP ALL THIS LIBERAL PC SHIT WE'VE HAD TO ENDURE...GOD BLESS TEXAS AND BUSH..!!
me luvz me sum bushhh...!!!
i bet she like doggy best....snoop-doggy that is!!
