I guess this will be the last year that high school playoff games will be played at Texas Stadium. I normally make it to one or two of those a year. (And I think my favorite moment was watching the Carter Cowboys enter the stadium for pre-game warm ups by walking down the sideline, single file, and all glaring at the other team over their right shoulders.)
- Man, never has so much been made of so little in connection with the Azle teacher and the 18 year old guy.
- I've never been a fan of the James Bond movies
- I made a Breakfast Club reference yesterday. That was a reference to a movie that is now 23 years old. I've turned into Chris Berman.
- Did you notice that the Dow surged over 800 points in the last three hours of yesterday's trading? I was watching ABC World News last night which explained the reason for it: They had no idea.
- Had a lady at the courthouse tell me yesterday tell me, "You shouldn't post those pictures of girls because it makes the thing load too slowly."
- After one week, I've already turned into a Hi-Def snob. I hardly watch any program unless it's broadcast in Hi-Def.
- That new TV show, My Own Worst Enemy, with Christian Slater has already been canceled. I never watched it, but you know Slater had to think he had a 24 on his hands.
- I always think of Christian Slater saying, "Greetings and salutations" from Heathers.
- The last year the Cowboys, Rangers, Stars, and Mavericks all failed to make the playoffs: Never. Until 2008-2009.
- Saw gas at $1.89 yesterday. Amazing.
- There are lots of people in this world that explain their problem to people that cannot help them. (For example, I always see some lady going up to the County Attorney's office looking for help with a child support problem. After a staff member directs her to the proper, but different, office that can help them, I'll see the lady go into a dissertation about her financial problems and what a sorry SOB her ex-husband is.)
- General Motors can't possibly go out of business, can it?
- I'd like to have something confusing written on my headstone.
- Anybody else got a feeling that the economy is about to implode? I mean really implode. I mean soup line implode.
- Any lady that herds a 100 cats and dogs (and, man, there seems like a lot of women out there like that) is a resident of Crazy Town. Edit: I saved you guys from a Comment by Jarhead where he reprinted the 1,000 line lyrics to "Crazy Town" - this version - which I kind of like.
- I don't think I've ever been in a Waffle House. (But I always think of a scene from the little appreciated movie Lady Killers when I hear the name.)

Waffle House makes me think of Tin Cup. Costner's last great movie?
Barry, it is time to expand your horizons...go eat at a Waffle House tonight and catch a Bond movie. Concerning the Dow surge, you will find McCain one of the few who can admit that our economy is too complex for anyone to have all of the answers. We will soon have someone presiding who doesn't even know the questions.
Anyone see Ayers on tv this morning? Funny, I didn't Obama was a family friend and neighbor. That's not what Obama said.
Isn't it amazing how many people tell their life story to anybody. Nobody gives a crap and it makes people uncomfortable! Keep your issues to yourself.
If your that narcissistic, than start a blog. (I'm just kidding BG, I try to stalk you as much as I can.) LOL
GM is crying out for an auto "bail out". They'll lay off as many little people as they can and THEN ask the goverment bank for help. How much do their Executives make?
I hate to say I told you so, but the C&K Captains & Kings have us exactly where they want us..they hold all the paper and we are a paper society. American taxpayers will be paying the price for the burden our corrupt "leaders" have placed upon us. I'm afraid we are truly in for the worst times in the history of our once great country..it's time to pay the piper.
I figure John Delorean is looking down and laughing his ass off!!!
GM needs money to pay their Union benefits.
It's very easy to become an HD snob. Even our 12 yr old does it. He sees something on the guide that looks interesting and then says "oh but it's not in HD-nevermind"
And speaking of HD, did anyone else notice how friggin clear the NFL network game was last night. The retailers should have been airing that game last night and the HD sets would have sold themselves.
everyone should consider now might be a good time to think about what would happen if we do "implode"..what is the best strategy to help save my family, friends, and neighbors..? it's good insurance to be prepared....you can believe change is on the way..!
Waffle House rules
"...glaring at the other team over their right shoulders.)"
Sounds kinda gay to me
"There are lots of people in this world that explain their problem to people that cannot help them."
I like to call that living life out loud. And yes, they are a beating!
"General Motors can't possibly go out of business, can it?"
It can, but the gubmint won't let it. that would cause all sorts of trickle down effects
"I'd like to have something confusing written on my headstone."
How about "Getting liberally leaner IN the land of DQ"
"I don't think I've ever been in a Waffle House."
Well, that's one thing you can scoreboard Kid Rock about
Happy weekend!
what value does our money really have..? history speaks to this many times and there's more than ample proof that if you continue to print money with no real value, eventually the economy will implode...our money is nothing more than a ponzee scheme. all it will take to cause this implosion will be when opec decides they will not accept dollars for oil..that will be the end of paper..
Here lies Barry Green

dead from an overdose of Afro Sheen.
that'll do...I'll bill ya.
I've mentioned several times that in the Secret Session of Congress 3/13/08 the economy imploding was presumed to have been discussed, and it would happen 2/09. Everyone made fun of me then. Not so funny now, is it? Who will determine what an insurgent is and be sent to REX-84? And to think of AMERO currency instead of our dollar? Scary stuff. Biden already let the cat out of the bag regarding something big happening.
Everyone is still making fun of you.
Inusurgents will be sent to the REX-84 lumberyard?
The government needs to just let all these companies go into reorganization bankruptcy. That's what it is designed for. Ford, GM, American Express etc. They won't go out of existence, they just reorganize to become more efficient. The automakers need to be able to get out of those darn union contracts. That alone would save their butts.
Soup lines are all part of the Obammy master plan. It's called spreading the wealth socialism.
8:47, get a life! It is not Union Benifits that break a company, it is mismanagement by the top exectives and the board of directors. they are the one that approve all of the benifits that the union members receive. It could be the big bucks that they give theirselves.

If you stopped the pictures of the girls, why would we come here?
Everybody continues to hold the mistaken opinion that stock prices reflect the value of the company, and that people buy and sell stock based upon what they think that value is or should be. The stock market is controlled by speculators and insiders that make money every day with the swings in price.
Anybody else think it kind of odd that you never hear of Obammy going to his granny's funeral? You know the one that he had to rush to her bedside because she was gravely ill? I think she took his Kenyan birth certificate to her grave.
920 - If you want real credit for your predictions, sign your name to your claim. You're the same as the guy who said Obama wouldn't be elected because of his name.
I don't have confidence in 1) The government's ability to know what's going to happen with the economy at all, much less that specifically; nor in 2) Politicians' ability to keep that kind of secret.
Until I'm proven wrong, I'll just believe that it was a discussion of FISA. P.S. Republican congressmen called for the secret session. Do you really want to give them that much credit after their election debacle?
BG, have you ever taped anyone's buns together?
"Did I stutter?"
turdman, what has been proven to all of us is that you are full of bullshit and you just keep on trying to act like you know something that us common folks in wise co. have no idea about..the fact is we are all going to get our asses taxed like never before and those so called "conservatives" are as guilty as sin, please give us a f'n break..!
Maybe if GM didn't build such POS cars we wouldn't worry about them going out of business.
Note:
For those of you who are driving your new Chevy or Cadillac or even your new Buick, as soon as the odometer goes one mile past your warranty you will need to drive immediately to the GM dealership and have your alternator, thermostat, belts, water pump, condenser, battery, heater coil and brake pads replaced. You will also notice a lot of rattling and squeaking around this time too.
Jarhead, there were 2 loud explosions in the Alvord area yesterday afternoon around 2:30. Have you started demolition already for Jarheadville?
We're all doomed.
There is a new term for our current economic situation and it's called "bendovernomics" ceo's screw everyone they can to become wealthy and the last person bent over wins! We are all living on borrowed paper anyway!
America bought with blood and traded for greed!

10:59 thank you.
11:20. I own 2 GM products; a 2005 & 2006. Both have over 50k. Not 1 single problem. (knocking on wood)
I'm sorry to have to correct you uncle, butt, it's the last one doing the last one bent over who's the winner... That be Obammy..on yo mammy..!

That was funny.
1059 - I think you need more fiber in your diet. You seem a little knotted up.
Sorry if I gave anyone in Wise County (who is not a Liberal) an inferiority complex. Certainly not my intention.
I might remind you, 1059, that the Bush tax cuts have been under assault by Democrats. And Obama's promise is to raise taxes on some people. And when the Bush tax cuts expire in 2010, effectively raising taxes on all Americans, you can thank the Democrat Congress for not renewing them. I think this information is available in Wise county.
By the way, Kashi has some nice cereals.
10:06 -
What is your point?
Are you trying to say President-elect Obama did not love his grandmother?
Are you trying to say he went to Hawaii for relax and relaxation in the last week of the campaign and just made up her illness?
(Obviously not, since she did die the day before the election - that is so sad to me.)
Again, what's your point? Whatever it is, I'm betting it's malicious and mean-spirited.
Per her wishes, Obama's grandmother's funeral was to be postponed a few weeks. That is certainly a family's perogative.
1148 thank you very f'n much, i'm sure your advice will really help..butt, just to be safe i think i will take some mineral oil to be sure..!
Here's somethin I was thinkin about just a little earlier:
Wordkyle... Who gives a rats ass what you think.
1241 - Y'know, that's something I think about. There are always a lot of hostile comments directed toward me here, usually accompanied by namecalling and/or profanity. I don't take any of it personally, but it sometimes makes me wonder if I'm just an unpleasant person.
But then I realize that Liberals hate it when a Conservative refuses to be bullied, and Liberals always have to resort to namecalling and/or profanity out of frustration. So while I may indeed be an unpleasant person, as long as -- in my own small way -- I'm frustrating Liberals, it makes it all worthwhile.
(By the way, why did my refusing to believe in the "secret session" conspiracy make you guys so mad?)
Speak up Wordkyle, I'm all ears.

Now that's what this blog should be about!!!!!!!!
but hey, I saw BG walking to the courthouse yesterday, and he is no Brad Pitt.
But, I'll be #7
will there be different soup lines for conservatives, i sure hope so..!
The union contracts are breaking GM. Not that there aren't other contributing factors but that is one of the largest. Read, research, and then make a smarter post next time.
248 - The Liberal soup line will have someone to serve it to them. The Conservatives help themselves.
Yes, the unions have been their own worst enemy. They will eventually have to decide to take less or nothing at all.........but
is the rape and pillaging of Wall ST/banks not the same thing
All retirement funds should be monitored.....with safeguards or insurance policies to back up the promises companies made to employees in better times.
One inescapable fact is that SS would not be where it is today if Presidents/Congress didn't see current contribs as revenue to do their dirty works as opposed to money to be set aside.
One inescapable fact is Medicare would not be where it is today if doctors/hospitals (mostly Republicans I dare say)didn't abuse the system.
A reckoning is coming. The sad part of all of this, we have outsoruced everything, make nothing here and our economy depends on our citizens spending wildly, foolishly.
Received a hot little letter from American Express today raising rates and fees, lowering air mile critera. Makes the card almost usless as a travel card.......I only use it to travel with, but why pay an American Express tax of 8% when making a purchase overseas.
Wonder if it ever hit them to be more careful in who got a card, and limits set? The real source of their problem.
11:20 I drive a Buick and it is out of warranty now but thus far nothing like that has happened. 115,000 miles. We did put a set of brake pads on it some miles ago and a new battery before it went out. Hope that other stuff doesn't come all at once.
EPI; Should read, "that he always talked to himself as he walked curiosly around the room, BUT HE ALWAYS WON. Curious individual."
The 1990's officers and prosecutors (Cole) too.
He was a winner!!!!!
As I have been posting for the last few months, A hard rain is go'n to fall. In depression era language of our grandparents that means soup lines.
I love short positions in the commodity market. Demand for lumber is falling. Thank you Jimmy Carter for the Community Reinvestment Act and thank you Bill Clinton for demanding that lenders pay attention to it. Oh, thank you Obama for the law suit you filed in Chicago to stop the mortgages companies from refusing to make mortgage loans to poor people who could not make their first monthly payment. Anyone have a good soup recipe?
Got gas at a Murphy station in north Ft Worth on Friday at 1.75 a gallon. YEEHAW!!
Mr. Wordkyle finally said something that made sense, "conservatives help themsleves." Wall St, Haliburton,
GM, and the list goes on and on.
They help themselves to my/our wallet!
And some have no real understanding of the soup lines of the past. Those lines were real, and many in those lines were hardworking, honest people who got caught in the squeeze.
The Graslands were created by paying farmers 25 cents an acre, farmers who couldn't do much more than feed their families. Laziness, shiftiness had nothing to do with it.
Yes, I've caught myself noticing the obese walking away from WARM more than once.......producing thoughts that would make Wordkyle warm. But I righted myself, and thanked the Lord I'm walking in a different pair of shoes.
254 - Democrat Chris Dodd, who led the negotiations on the bailout, has received more than $13 million dollars in political donations from the finance, insurance and real estate sectors. He was also one of the recipients of a "sweetheart" deal from Countrywide before it went belly up.
Democrat Barney Frank has received almost $2.5 million from the same sectors - finance, insurance and real estate (a/k/a "Wall Street.")
Your first sentence used buzzwords to make baseless partisan accusations, and the rest of your post was incoherent.
I'm also well aware of the Great Depression.
Congratulations on your new shoes.
