- Big win by TCU last night over BYU, and a huge comeback by the Red Sox over the not-devil Rays. And I didn't see either.
- One more reference to "Joe the Plumber" and I'm going to off myself
- And some plumber in Amarillo just happens to have a web site named www.joetheplumber.com . (And you can even join his mailing list to get "breaking news about our business.")
- "I just lost $500 since now I won't get to prepare an occupational license" - what an overweight lawyer announced at a driver's license hearing in Fort Worth yesterday when an officer failed to show. That meant his client's driver's license would be saved from a suspension. I think (and hope) he could see the disgust in my eyes.
- Want to see that "I Kissed A Girl" chick jump into a big old cake and then bust her arse? Sure you do.
- Video of the day stolen from Silicone Alley here. And she had the funniest description: "fast forward to 2:15 and pray for the table."
- Sometimes I pull up beside a flat bed truck on the highway and wonder if I could jump on it at full speed if I told my passenger to "grab the wheel."
- When I said I had to mow my lawn one more time I should have added that I was going to hire a bunch of Chinese guys to do an orchestrated routine using grass recycling bags as part of the closing ceremony.
- Phil King sure isn't worried about the general election.
- I had almost forgotten about Spaghetti Cat.
- I'm disturbed by the hunting shows on those obscure channels up in the 600s on DirecTV (which I probably can't get now anyway. Problem solved.)
- I woke up in the middle of the night again last night. Then, with a bit of creepiness hanging in the room, I turned to look at the clock. Would it be 3:00 a.m. again? Nope: 2:56. Man, this is getting weird.
- Fox 4 had another motorcycle death story this morning, but I don't see it on their web site yet. Edit: Here
- Boss's Day was yesterday. It should be abandoned. And I also shouldn't force all our staff to put a crown on me while holding an offering of baked goods. It's just plain awkward.

Spreading the wealth, as Obama told Joe The Plumber he wanted to do, did not work in the USSR, it did not work in China, and the application of Karl Marx's teachings in America will distroy our free enterprise system. LBJ experimented with them in his Great Society and you see how well that worked. It distroyed a large segment of America's working class and put them on welfare.
Why heck no, Phil King isn't worried about the general election since he got the Star Telegram's endorsement(for his vast experience)....
....experience in doing little else but promoting himself.
The Bridgeport Index delights in lauding this man's awards, etc.
What a joke!
Red Sox have Tampa right where they want them. Nobody does a comeback like my Sox.
About six months ago, I started thinking, 'Where did the
money come from for Obama?' I have four daughters who went
to college, and we were middle class, and money was tight.
We (including my girls) worked hard and there were lots of
student loans. I started looking into Obama's life. Around
1979, Obama started college at Occidental in California .
He is very open about his two years at Occidental, he
tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but,
even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply himself
to his studies. ' Barry ' (that was the name he used all
his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad
Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid , both from Pakistan .
During the summer of 1981, after his second year in
college, he made a 'round the world' trip. Stopping to see
his mother in Indonesia , next Hyderabad in India , three
weeks in Karachi , Pakistan where he stayed with his
roommate's family. My question - Where did he get the
money for this trip? Neither I, nor any one of my children
would have had money for a trip like this when they were
in college.
When he came back he started school at Columbia University
in New York . It is at this time he wants everyone to call
him Barak - not Barry . Do you know what the tuition is at
Columbia ? It's not cheap to say the least. Where did he
get money for tuition? Student Loans maybe" After Columbia
, he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for
$12,000/Year.
Why Chicago ? Why not New York ? He was already living in
New York . By 'chance' he met Antoin ' Tony ' Rezko, born
in Aleppo Syria , and a real estate developer in Chicago .
Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year.
Rezko was named 'Entrepreneur of the Decade' by the
Arab-American Business and Professional Association.
About two hears later, Obama entered Harvard Law School .
Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law
School ? Where did he get the money for Law School ? More
student loans?
After law school, he went back to Chicago . Rezko offered
him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job
with Davis , Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Guess what? They
represented 'Rezar' which was Rezko's firm.
Rezko was one of Obama's first major financial
contributors when he ran for office in Chicago . In 2003,
Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago
Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental
in providing Obama with 'seed money' for his U.S. Senate
race. In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwood
District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than the
asking price. With aLL those Student Loans, where did he
get the money for the property? On the same day, Rezko's
wife, Rita , purchased the adjoining empty lot for full
price.
The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born
Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before
Obama's new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi
many times with Rezko. Now that we have Obama running for
President.
Valerie Jarrett was Michele Obama 's boss. She is now
Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any major
decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett
born? Ready for this? Shiraz , Iran ! Do we see a pattern
here? Or am I going crazy?
On May 10, 2008, the Times reported, Robert Malley ,
advisor to Obama was 'sacked after the press found out he
was having regular contacts with 'Hamas,' which controls
Gaza and is connected with Iran .
This past week, buried in the back part of the papers,
Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama's visit to
Iraq , he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war
until after he is elected, and he will 'take care of
things.'
Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that
were born in Pakistan ? They are in charge of all these
'small' Internet campaign contributions for Obama. Where
is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in
this country? Or could it be from the Middle East ? And
the final bit of news; On September 7, 2008, the
Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on
"This Week' with George Stephanapoulos . Obama on talking
about his religion said, 'My Muslim faith...' When
questioned, 'he made a mistake.' Some mistake!
All of the above information I got on line. If you would
like to check it - Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barak Obama ;
Tony Rezko ; Valerie Jarrett ; Daily Times - Obama visited
Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times - September 7,
2008; The Times, May 10, 2008.
Now the BIG question - If I found out all this information
on my own, why haven't all of our 'intelligent' members of
the press been reporting this? A phrase that keeps ringing
in my ear - 'Beware of the enemy from within.'
Wasn't much to see in the TCU game.
All TCU. All night.
You know that 3:00 am is the hour of evil.
Barry, I think you are being haunted. You should call ghost busters.
Thank you Anon @ 8:50 for posting the latest Anti-Obama lie filled email. We are all the better for having to read that poppycock again.
Saw a bumper sticker yesterday in Bedford. One word - NOBAMA. Thought is was interesting.
Within the next 10-15 years, many autistic children will become adults. I did not get the impression from the last debate that Obama is interested in programs for special needs children - his "scalpel" will hatchet that right out of the budget. Special needs kids can attend public school until they are 21. Then what? Nothing. If you think senior citizens are going to drain Social Security, wait until these kids turn 18. SSI will be bogged down. Good news for you, Barry, with the guardianship cases. That costs around $2K. If you the a parent of a special needs child as I am, know your rights. Once they turn 18, you have no control over their decisions without guardianship.
8:50AM AMEN! but do not just automatically cross off the rest of the state and local, down ticket, Democratic candidates because of him.
8:50:
Our "intelligent" members of the press have not been reporting these things because they are having a lovefest over Obama. Just watch when any of them talk about him, they practically swoon over him like some God.
I don't believe that I have ever seen a time that the press has been so openly biased before in my life. If any of these things were about McCain, you can bet that there would have been reports everywhere.
Sometimes I pull up beside a flat bed truck on the highway and wonder if I could jump on it at full speed if I told my passenger to "grab the wheel."
Feeling a bit like Tom Cruise, are we. Halloween must be near. ;)
the prawn needs to change his name to "the pawn". Obama's camp has surely moved him around easily enough.
Crap like 8:50 is spewing is "Swiftboat" type of rhetoric that appears at this point in the election cycle as part of the Republican Strategy. All lies, "my friends".
Republican Strategy stage 1:
Convince public Republican Candidates are Evangelical Christians.
Their opponent is evil and just lying about being Christian.
Republican Strategy stage 2:
Convince public Republican Candidates are patriotic.
Their opponent is evil and just lying about being patriotic.
Republican Strategy stage 3:
Convince public Republican Candidates are honest, hardworking "just like you" with your best interest in mind.
Their opponent is evil, dishonest, corrupt, amoral and is only interested in his/her own personal ambitions.
Rule: Avoid talking about policies as much as possible.
Happens every 4 years. After the election, much attention is given to the fact, people were paid to propagate lies intentionally designed to discredit and "bring down" the opponent.
This formula works like magic. The fly-in-the-ointment this year is that Obama is out spending McCain. (unusual for a Dem to have that much funding since they represent the poor)
Minor side affect-- It destroys lives and is tearing our country apart. Thanks patriots!
Speaking of the media love-fest for Obama, check out the picture of Katie Couric looking adoringly at Obama at last night's fancy dinner in New York. Here's the link http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20081017/capt.93d39a06b1174934ae4ed9c0e770b144.mccain_2008_nyck152.jpg?x=400&y=298&q=85&sig=qfAF9IH_BzxAcodUr9tigQ--
(sorry Barry)
Joe the Plumber is the poster child for the party of the stupid.
Given is current salary, location, class, back tax delinquency - Joe is exactly who Obama's tax plan would help. McCain's plan will not provide any help for Joe.
Yet, Joe stands there and says "Duh, don't take anything from those wealthy people. It just aint right I tell ya. "
8:50, great job!! You informed the readers where they could go to get this information and all they seem to want to do is refer to the information as "poppycock". That's the problems with liberals, that can't handle the truth and the only way they can win a argument or conversation is to talk, or talk over you. They learned that crap from the media. Also, I would invite all the smart people to go to youtube and look up "Burning Down the House - What caused the housing Crisis. As for Obama, there is more to him than the liberals want to find. This man has some shady connections which is nothing new for the liberals. They don't care, they want change. The only problem with that is, that's there easiest answer because they can't explain why they want it or what change they are talking about. I cna't truly believe people in this Country will place a guy in office who's been a part time Senator for three years and put him in the mess we are in today. Good luck people, you will soon experience what your ignorance has brought you.
8:50
I got the exact same e-mail as you obviously did. It is alot of the smear and fear that goes around on the internet. Check Snopes.Your comments are there and they are false.
There is a letter in the Messenger this week implying that Obama is the anti Christ . The writer of this letter, Isabella Rose suggests we read our Bibles. I also had received this accusation in an e-mail awhile back. Again this is mentioned in Snopes and is false. Another source for checking these smear tactics out is www.factcheck.org
Ignorance is the handmaiden of fear and resentment.
10:44, I don't think she is looking right at Obama. I think she is just smiling at the moment.
Whatever the case may be, she's an idiot, so it doesn't matter anyway.
Don't you guys ever get sick of arguing about politics?
Sheesh. Take a break. Accept the fact that liberals always suck and neo-conservatives always suck and nobody in either party has your best interests [whatever they may be] at heart so bickering over Joe the Plumber or any of the other crap that these guys are feeding you ain't going to matter once they’re elected.
News Flash: neither the president nor the congress can fix the economy! It's broken right now, but it will, all by itself, get better if we let the invisible hand work its magic and not use artificial supports like a bailout or interest rate [still not understanding that move] reductions as Band-Aids for a problem we're going to have to face eventually. The Congress and President are so out of touch with reality that they have no idea what it’s like being a regular citizen. McCain and Obama will be the same way, no matter how much they talk about “change.”
We've had 6 or 7 years of low interest rates and general prosperity. Did we think it would continue forever? The "Me" generation apparently did, but that's not how it works.
We need to fasten our seatbelts and ride it out. Time to pay the piper.
Jarhead out.
Carry on.
You know, B, that the true "witching hour" is not really midnight but 3 am. Next time you wake up at that time just say hey to your dead loved ones and tell them to leave you alone so you can sleep.
To ALL the Obama Zombies...
Rather than attempting to discredit 8:50 and the questions posed by 8:50 just go ahead and ANSWER THE QUESTIONS. Use some site other than Obama's when you do ANSWER THE QUESTIONS or just continue to drink the OZombie Kool-Aid and spew Obama talking points.
Screw all this political hose caa-caa. That has GOT to be the best looking chick you EVER posted!
Holy hell - how fast does a motorcycle have to be going to knock over a Jeep? Sheee-yut!
TxSheehan is posing as the prawn. We are on to you.
GO SOX!!!
I knew I smelled something fishy.
Double Fake Charlie The Tuna
Just heard that Joe the Plummer has conducted more interviews than Sara Palin.
FOX reported that McCain would be the first president since FDR not able to throw out a first pitch at a MLB game.
McCain's first wife, the one who prayed for his safe return from the prison camp, now lives in Canada due to insurance/health reasons.

Back to politics. Anyone received ALVORD school tax statement? John Trice has done it again. Alvord did not receive taxes because the school board is raising taxes. The grand buildings are going to cost tax payers a fortune. Good job school board.
Go Rays
What?
Nothing on the B'port vs. Decatur game tonight???
What's this blog being run by, a hockey puck???
Double Fake Don Rickles
mzchief - why should anyone attempt to answer questions that have no basis in fact?
www.snopes.com has no connection to Obama, neither does www.factcheck.org I know you know that.
B'port vs Decatur?" Tonight?
3:43: Bridgeport and Decatur don't play each other tonight. Get your schedule straight.
350 - 1) Snopes has no references to any of the points raised in 850's post.
2) Factcheck.org does not address any of the points raised in 850's post.
If I am incorrect, please feel free to provide proof.
It's clear that supporters of the Obama refuse to consider any evidence that contradicts their world view. They will never be convinced, because their minds are made up and the door to information is closed.
However, those who read these posts who don't have their minds made up already need to look at some of the links providing evidence of Obama's peculiar history. Then think about how the pro-Obama forces absolutely refuse to provide evidence to refute the other side's arguments.
Yes, there is a lot of junk about Obama being a Muslim, etc., that is not true. You have to sort through some of it to see the real thing. But look at the gaps in Obama's history, the type of people he befriended when it was politically expedient and who he now discards for the same reason, and the inability of Obama supporters to name any of his accomplishments that qualify him to be President -- the dots are very well connected. Take a close look at the picture of the real Obama.
factcheck.org is operated by the Annenburg Foundation of which Obammy has many ties. That ought to tell you everything you need to know about the facts.
-I like the butt crack cartoon on the Joe the Plumber website.
-The girl falling off that table was hilarious. I think she has some serious problems, who sits and video tapes such a thing?
-Why can't you Obama supporters see that we don't need bigger government, more spending and more tax increases. We need less of all three of those items mentioned. That's part of Bushs' failed policy is that he adopted the liberal philosophy to spend like crazy and we can see the result now.
Hey 2:31....Taxes did not go down that was the famous lie that Trice spread in order to get the bond passed for the new school buildings. If you ever thought Trice could tell the truth you were sadly mistaken!!!!!
FYI - There is a election coming up in order to redistribute tax money in which the district (through funny math) can benefit from and receive extra money from the state. You really should attend some of the board meetings. From what was told taxes can not go up again unless there is another election.
Oops....I did it again. So much for my "Beat Decatur" tour.

If technology allowed me to know that a child I was carrying would be "disabled for life", believe you me, I would have an abortion. And then I would get a puppy. And after that puppy was middle aged, I might try again for a child that would not be a burden upon myself, my family or society.
The sciences need to be funded better, to snoop out the autistic ones. Those are the tricky ones.
These are my true feelings.
The End
7:09, I did not know my child was autistic until the age of 2 1/2 years old. What would you have me do then? Kill her because she is a toddler that cannot communicate like others her age? Yes, you are certainly THE END, not the beginning. I did not ask for this, and autism is not something that can be diagnosed before birth. You are an extremely uneducated PIG! I would give anything for her to be able to be like other kids her age, and I am envious of teens her age because I am missing out on everything the parents are able to do with their kids. At least mine is well behaved and I will never have to worry about boyfriends, drugs, alcholol, none of that. Having a special needs child is not easy, but I know I was given this task because I have the strength to handle it.
5:02 Wordkyle
YOU ARE WRONG - as usual!!
It took all of about 2 seconds to find this information in Snopes.com (word for word) and it said it was FALSE.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/money.asp
So does factcheck.org
Do you refuse to seek the truth? Or, are you intentionally perpetuating the lies.
7:09 That is one of the most selfish things I have ever read. May not mean anything to you, but my religious view is of an eternal perspective. Believing that we all existed elsewhere before our birth here and that this mortal life has a purpose with eternal consequences. Also, that some of us come to earth to be tested and some come to test us, such as special needs children.
913 - Snopes does indeed address the question of the financing of Obama's education and his mansion. I stand corrected.
A search on factcheck.org with the terms "obama, education" did not result in anything addressing the points. Just for the sake of completeness, can you cite their webpage addressing the issues?
As I've posted before, I'm not interested in false rumors about Obama. The truth is much more damaging.
Who is this Snopes? God? Or a group of know everything Democrats? They must have one huge investigative unit.
Wordkyle
Here is a little story just for you.
Republican Presidential Candidate says to his aide "Publish a story stating my opponent had sex with a goat"
"What!" said the aide, "Your opponent has not had sex with a goat."
Republican Presidential Candidate says "Yes, I know. But all we need to do is get that image in everyone's heads." "Besides, think of how much fun it will be to watch him deny it"!!
The purpose of all those lies about Obama is to create doubt and fear.
The truth about McCain is much more frightening.
Barry, I think your waking up to pee. It's your age in reality not physic. Everything streaming well?
1149 - Welcome to the game called politics. Politicians have always tried to invoke fear of the other fellow being elected. You seem somehow surprised. Read a lot of history, do you?
Your source for the video -- barackobama.com -- is not the most unbiased of sources. Funny you should bring up Keating. McCain was thoroughly investigated during that time, and found guilty only of showing poor judgment. That one scandal was investigated more deeply than anything about Barack Obama.
The doubts and fears that most of us feel about Obama stem from observable evidence. The latest evidence is Obama's encounter with "Joe the plumber." Obama answered Joe's question bluntly: he wants to "spread the wealth around." That would be enough to disqualify him for many people.
But now, in the days following the incident, Obama and his supporters have tried to destroy Joe's reputation, somehow blaming Joe for the negative reaction to Obama's answer. They are trying to destroy a man for asking a question.
This is not a lie, not a misunderstanding, not a misrepresentation. It's not some sort of Republican "trick." This is all on Obama. Both his political philosophy and his true character have been revealed with this incident. That's enough to create doubt and fear in any reasonable person.
Obama and Ayres shared office space for three years or they lied and entered false information on government documents. That is a crime! Obama said he ran into Ayers a few times over the years. I guess that could have meant that he physically bumped him a few times as they moved around in their shared office space.
I saw a couple of days ago an AP writer bringing up the issue (non?)of McCain owning 13 cars (on MSNBC of course)again.
I'm confused- my neighbor owns 9, am I supposed to be jealous, disgusted, lynch him, vandalize them or what?
Some of you libs help a brother out- tell me what to do here.
Don't vandalize them unless one of them is a hummer and it's in a Southlake parking lot.
