- I finally have an iPhone trouble. After a software upgrade it won't boot back up. From looking at the Internets, this has happened to quite a few people. I'm going to try and get it working with the office computer this morning. Ugh.
- Since the current presidential administration is always blamed for economic woes, could the stock market trash have come at a worst time for the Republicans?
- There was a Barbara Walters special on ABC last night on the Queen's visit to America two years ago. I'm not sure if I would have been interested if I hadn't seen the film, The Queen, but man it was great.
- The best material that I can't publish comes from attorney-client initial meetings.
- Saw where the feds announced a big drug bust yesterday (175 people) and called it "Project Reckoning." I guess you have to give it a fancy name when the investigation took 15 months and, in the end, won't change a thing.
- The renovations to the Cotton Bowl look pretty good, but at a cost of $50 million it was kind of like putting lipstick on a pig . . . . Uh, oh.
- I really want to go to the Texas/OU game in a couple of weeks. Can anybody help a bruther out? Stubhub seems to think those tickets are worth quite a bit - which the obviously are.
- Very funny Hurricane Ike coverage here.
- If I had kids, I'd definitely rent this for a birthday party in order to teach them respect for the dead.
- I've gained about five pounds over the summer. Let the obsession to lose it begin.
- Isn't the price of a barrel of oil less than a $100 (down from the high of around $150) but gas prices are still around $3.70?
- I've never cared about the Ryder Cup competition.
- iPhone update as I jacked around with it while writing all of this. No luck. If I have to take it the Apple store in Southlake I'll shoot myself. And key a Hummer out of frustration.
Edit: I appreciate the help on the iPhone (but I had already tried that since I spent hours on the problem last night.) It failed during a software update and then told me to "restore" the iPhone. Ugh. I tried that but it would get hung on "Verifying iPhone software" stage. (Happens quite a bit apparently.)
Edit #2: Since I know all of you are dying to know, I got the phone back up and running. Uh, at least to the way it was configured on July 11, 2008 (the date of the last backup - which makes no sense since I backed it up two days ago.) Anyway, I'm going back in time.

You'll have to restore it, but it'll come back to life.
In regards to comment #2, if the congressional record is checked you will find McCain co-sponsored a bill in 2005 to curtail this problem. It was voted down by a few republicans and 95% of democtrats. You will also see where Obama has received the second largest amount of money from Freddie and Fannie. Also, the individuals who use to head those companies are now working in the Obama campaign as economic advisers. One of those individuals was appointed by Bill Clinton, then president, to run Freddie or Fannie, can't remember which one. During his tenure there he made 90 million dollars. Amazing how that sh-t works isn't it. A major Clinton supporter has now moved to support the McCain campaign and I don't mean Rothschild. Liberals are concerned about the economic mess we're in but their heroes in Hollywood can choke up 9 million for Obama. You all should be impressed. Enjoy it while you can because one of two things will happen; McCain will win or we'll all start paying taxes out our arse when Obama steps in, if that happens, you people will find out what a true mess really is.
There is an apple store in Fort Worth on University Drive...since your alway in Ft Worth any way!
I found your guy blowing into the bushes!

8:08- What bill? Be specific or shut your mouth.
I would like to see you publish the comments that don't get published,in a random thought sort of way.
Gas is 3.70 a gal but beer is over 8.00 a gallon!
McCain (remember his former economic advisor Phil Gramm..those whinning Americans) and Phil King are champions of deregulation.
We are paying for their handiwork.
Big time paying
Somewhere/sometime there has to be moderation in the free market and in regulation.
Of course it is also the same crowd that made it very difficult for individuals/the little guy to declare bankruptcy, and for the small guy to seek redress in the court system.
The deck is stacked simply because we little guys can never come up with the dollars to buy a vote.
Barry, bite the bullet and buy the iPhone 3G, browsing will be much faster when you are in FW, which is where you seem to spend all your time anyway...
or do what I did, use this as an excuse to buy an Apple notebook, which seems to handle the iPhone software much better.
so why did w cause this stock market trash anyway..??
8:46 I am sorry I can't give you the "song and verse" at this time but if you would spend more time shutting your trap and get your head out you might be more aware of things. I said "co-sponsored" and it was "defeated" therefore the "Bill" is null and void. Give me a little time and I'll tell you where to find it.
Damn you liberals are sensitive!!
I heard about an attempted sexual assault this morning. What are the odds it would be by a guy named "Puffer" that plays for the Frisco "Rough Riders". Who didn't see that....coming?
liberals ain't sensitive...they're stupid...!
8:46, Here's your answer; In 2005 and 2006 McCain co-sponsored the "Federal Housing Reform Act of 2005" concerning Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. It's important to understand these two and how they came to being. Once you understand this you can see how the "fall" began and it effects. Now, shut your mouth, and go back to work.
Has anyone mentioned that during many of the financial crises we have seen in our lifetime, the Democrats controlled Congress? Last time I checked, the President doesn't pass all the laws and write all the checks.
I don't think being vain about your appearance is going to help it any.
so we have erased a 200 point gain and now stocks are in a free fall..now all the banks and insurance companies want a bail out..me too..!
gonecrazy, that isn't an Apple Store, that is University Computers. They're an Apple authorized reseller and repair shop. They don't do phones.
Oh, and Barron did you upgrade to iTunes 8? It is required for firmware 2.1.
SEEE! Those girls need numbers! Cheerleaders need numbers like the players have. I'm on a mission. That way all the rest of this "stuff" will not seem so bad!
11:07, Apple just opened the new store off University, I think it's in the old GAP. Try google before you correct someone incorrectly.

Don't know if you have seen any articles about Se. Chet Edwards bill ( HR 6899) that passed the House releasing 70 million barrels of oil from our surplus. I'll send the article to Barry, but, here are a few bits and pieces from the press release;
Edwards: House Passes Comprehensive Energy Bill That Expands Drilling Offshore, Invests in Renewable Energy, Reduces Dependence on Foreign Oil, & Releases Oil from Strategic Petroleum Reserve To Help Lower Oil and Gas Prices
(WASHINGTON, DC) – U.S. Representative Chet Edwards today supported HR 6899, comprehensive energy legislation that will help bring down energy costs, invest in renewable energy sources to create American jobs, expand domestic drilling offshore and release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). The bill was approved by a vote of 236 to 189.
For months, Edwards has advocated the additional step of releasing oil reserves from the SPR on the open market to help lower oil and gas prices. The bill will release 10% of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), or 70 million barrels of oil. In 1991 when former President Bush released just 17 million barrels of oil from the SPR, oil prices dropped by 33.4% in just one day. In 2000, when President Clinton release oil from the SPR, oil prices dropped by 18.7%.
Now....BIG OIL COMPANIES.... why is gas still over $3.70 a gallon?????
OIL SPECULATORS ( who by the way created this entire fiasco)...speculate on these oil prices and then justify $3.&0 a gallon gas.
I speculate gas will be 1.00 a gallon....Why the hell can't they do that!I speculate if these idiots dont get a grip on things the economy is going to hell in a hand basket.
Breaking News:
Prices of hand baskets rise do to speculation!
"The best material that I can't publish comes from attorney-client initial meetings."
Come on, please! Change the names to protect the guilty or whatever. I know your sitting on a goldmine with that stuff.
Or at least bring out stuff from your 'cold case files'

This latest spike is being blamed on Ike, not crude supply. Ike forced the shutdown of all the major refineries in the Houston area. That's roughly 20% of the national refining capacity.
We don't need more oil, we need more refineries. I wonder what it will cost us to replentish the NPR at $91 a barrell?
speculators my ass, it's because the basket weavers are on strike to protest the chinese made cheap-assed baskets they have to compete with..!
Breaking News!:
On speculations from "my ass" hand basket stocks rise sharply due to shut down of major importer of baskets made by cheap assed chinese basket weaving bastards ..causing a wide spread shortage of handbaskets for the economy's ride.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

That means that 80% were and are still in full capacity. If you read the Galveston Daily News, none of the refineries sustained ANY damage, plus the fact that they have electricity. Therefore...zero percent was affected.
Offshore lost only 17 rigs (9 were non-productive platforms).
Now....get the oil companies to justify the "lack of production due to Hurricane Ike.
Breaking News!
Natural gas prices rise due to speculation of there one day being a shortage.
Natural gas which is mostly comprised of lower intestinal gas from dinosaurs. It is pressed out during the fossilization process then repressurized thru tiny cracks in the "barnet shale".
