- I'm predicting Tony Romo's pinkie isn't healed and trouble is a-coming on Sunday night
- With the decision yesterday by
newly crowned king Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson to take $250 billion of the bailout package and buy bank stock (instead of the bad mortgages), the U.S. Government is officially in the banking business. - Isn't it a matter of time that a new cabinet position is created to manage all the new stuff that the government owns?
- Reminded of this by listening to the radio this morning: I once, about 20 years ago, drove away from a convenience store in east Fort Worth with the gas nozzle still connected to my car. Ripped it completely off. I sheepishly went in an told the clerk who had a very confused look on his face.
- The next day, a jokester in the law firm where I worked heard about what had happened. We were in the break room together when he turned to me and said, "Did you hear about the gas pump exploding last night at that convenience store? Something went wrong with it!" My heart sank for a second.
- I've decided it's harder to jog on a treadmill than it is outside but that outside jogging is a better workout. Odd.
- With oil falling to $56 a barrel yesterday, I wonder if the oil and gas bust that we've feared is around the corner.
- Great invention: Female 'boy shorts."
- Saw part of Top Gun last night. That movie may have more cheesy lines than any others.
- The Messenger printed a list of all of the scores of the Bridgeport/Decatur game over the years. For the lifelong county residents, it's weird how you can go back and find the score of the first game you can remember. But all games before that are just part of a murky history that you don't care that much about.
- Real history is the same way to me. I remember the Vietnam War, the Iran Hostage Crisis, and man walking on the moon. But the JFK assassination, Pearl Harbor, and the Cuban Missile Crisis are all part of a different kind of "history" to me.
- I didn't watch the CMA's last night but did Brooks & Dunn win best duo for the 30th year in a row?
- I'd be a little scared to buy something off Craig's List. Meet women, yes. Buy something, no.
- Saw gas for $1.89 yesterday in Fort Worth. I would have never believed it three months ago.
- I get sucked in every time I see the movie Desperado on HBO and Salma Hayek was smoking hot in it.
- Sarah Palin won't stop talking.
Edit: Two I thought about last night but forgot about this morning.
- Audio (mp3) of the oral arguments before the Texas Supreme Court two weeks ago in the Hughes wrongful death case out of Paradise. I can't say it's riveting but I did stick around long enough to hear the Supreme Court justice ask the lawyer what was the racial makeup of Wise County. The lawyer, who I don't know, said we were basically a "bedroom community" of the metroplex.
- Jacksboro "Teens In The Driver Seat". I have no idea what it means, but the person that emailed me the link referred to me as "Mr. Green" so I'm posting it.

Sugarland won duo of the year
Don't blame Paulsen for his $700B debacle. He based it on the intelligence at the time. Look for Haliburton to be selected to sort things out.
McCain may end up being the luckiest man in the world!!!!
O&G bust? Hold on... it's coming.
Salma Hayek is even hotter in From Dusk Til Dawn
Wasn't it the liberal weenies that were blaming Bush for raising the cost of oil so that he and all his cronies could get rich? I know their standard lines are that before the election he lowers the cost of gasoline to help the Republicans, but now that the election is over, whay isn't he raising it back up? Now can you idiots understand that Bush doesn't control the price of gas?
Talk to me Goose.
I saw where Garth Brooks won goofiest person from Oklahoma for the 20th straight year.
When is the victory parade for Obama in Dallas?
9:32:
I thought that that award was given to Barry Switzer and was made a lifetime award.
"Ghost Rider, this is Strike. We have unknown aircraft inbound Mustang. Your vector zero-nine-zero for bogey"
i jes wunder watt toby and willy was doin..? ear man.....
Watched enough of the CMA's last night to see Kid Rock perform. I'm worried about myself. I'm not quite 50 years of age, educated, family, just a normal person. I feel there's no mid-life thing coming on, I haven't gone and bought a sporty car, dyed my hair, shaved my chest or purchased an ab-lounge or tight gym shorts. I like a lot of music, heck I even like Frank Sinatra but dang, I liked ole Kid Rock and think I'll buy one of his CD's.
I saw a woman rip the hose out of a pump once.
She drove up to the store to pay never knowing what happened.
When she came back I pointed to it hanging out of her tank and told her what she had done.
She said,"Are you messing with me, is this some kind of joke, come on now- where are the cameras?"
She then pulled the hose out of her tank walked over to the trash and stuffed it in there, shaking her head the whole time while grinning at me like I was an idiot and then drove off.
I think she was from Newark
The End
Someone please explain how an oil and gas bust is bad for a consumer.
Everybody (even Barry?) kept saying,"We've heard the last of Sarah Palin" after the election.
I wondered about that then.
I would say those are Titsworth kissing.
Good article with some foresight here:
http://money.cnn.com/2008/06/06/news/economy/tully_oil_bust.fortune/?postversion=2008060608
"Maverick: Tower, this is Ghost rider requesting a flyby.
Air Boss Johnson: That's a negative Ghost rider, the pattern is full."
Palin won't stop talking because they won't stop trashing her. I like a woman that knows how to fight.

Easy - the consumers around here are the ones who get hurt. O&G companies pay taxes here, and provide jobs here
"I'd be a little scared to buy something off Craig's List. Meet women, yes."
But it's a pretty good bet that the things on Craig's List are disease-free. The women - meh
"I get sucked in every time I see the movie Desperado on HBO and Salma Hayek was smoking hot in it."
Also very nice in Freida, if you can get past the uni-brow. Yikes!
"I've decided it's harder to jog on a treadmill than it is outside..."
No, it just seems that way because it's so boring. I usually take several sections of newspaper with me. By the time I get done, 30-40 minutes have passed.
"Sarah Palin won't stop talking."
It's not like she's begging people to listen to her. All the media outlets are asking to do the stories. Now that she's no longer a threat, they find her "interesting", and they don't feel compelled to dig up dirt.
I bet Palin whimpers and coo's like some kind of little animal during sex.
I did it at the Chevron in Decatur a couple of years ago.
I tell the clerk and they "ok" like it happens all the time
Talk about feeling dumb
"Sarah Palin won't stop talking."
Of course she is. Wouldn't you if you spent the last few months being trashed by the Democratic-loving media and now by some of McCain's aides who are trying to find a scapegoat for the loss?
I like that she is standing up for herself and not just running back to Alaska to hide. I also personally look forward to the possibility that she will run in four years. After four years of Obama/Pelosi/Reid/Frank etc., I think that people will be ready for another change.
Sarah Palin offered $2 million to star in a porn film...

I think Sarah Palin is one fine person and she definitely has a political future, but not in 2012, at this point. She needs more time than 4 yrs to establish herself nationally, especially after she was trashed, in many ways, so badly by the extreme liberal media, in which catagory I would include this blog and its owner, on a very,very,minor and local basis. I believe 2016 would be a much better target date, but that will depend a lot too on what happens in the next 4 years.
Hey 10:59
Appearently you didn't hear, but the people have spoken - they want change!
After the Bush failures you have the nerve to start throwing stones, dude wake-up!
The history of games between Decatur and Bridgeport in the Messenger had a couple of years not included - I think around 1991/1992. Did they not play those two years?
Decatur:
Elvis has left the building.
Put your big girl panties on and suck it up.
"You can be my wingman any time...
Bulls*it.. you can be mine."
"I'm all out of missiles. I'm switching to guns."
Umm, ok
Come on people, the best line has to be "Take me to bed or loose me forever you big stud." What guy doesn't like to hear that?
Ok...if you are going to quote one of my most favorite movies of all time (I know, sad), get it right. It is: ______, you big stud, take me to bed or lose me forever.
If you think the oil and gas bust is bad...the way prices and taxes are going up they are going to surcharge the energy it takes to bust a nut!I guess i'll pay it because I just can't find a way to be conservative on this particular energy expenditure!
Are we still enjoying the winds of change...it will take decades for the stench to subside!
uncle fester 2012
Hey BG, what happened to the "back story" you were getting on the Monroe issue.
Here's somethin I was just thinkin about a little earlier:
Did any of y'all see the show on the History channel talkin about Dec 21 2012 and how the Mayans and Greeks independantly arrived at the same date as the end of the world?
Now who's laughin...huh?
Poll regarding Sarah Palin:
Republicans - 86% approval rating
Democrats - 56% approval rating
Independents -46% approval rating
As heard on this mornings news.
And by the way, her supposed lack of knowledge about Africa was a fabrication acknowledged this morning by, of all news outlets, CNBC.
11:07 - somebody should pay Palin millions to just shut up.
She's pretty, but dumb.
Thank God, blondes get a nice break.
John and Joan Cusack need a sex scene in a movie together- that I'd pay money for.
3:01
seek professional help, either a therapist or a prostitute
I'm just sayin'
To Barron...
I understand the reason you posted the photo of the two hotties on the beach in the first photo. I am at a loss as to why you posted the photo of the two unfortunate looking fugly chicks in the second photo.
good point mz
CMA was as life-less that I have ever seen in 42 years. Give some respect to the elders, the hot -comers are not COUNTRY. If we have to wait half way through the broadcast to here a song that was reborn from "KING" Skynard, we are losing the battle.
Give us a litle George, some thing "new" and a whole lot "HANK".
Wow is it just me or have others noticed that MZCHIEF is a kinder,gentler beeotch than a few months ago. I haven't urped once lately reading her comments. Even found myself agreeing with some and being entertained by others. What a welcome change........
Don't get me wrong, I still don't think I'd want to do the wild thing with her, but who knows?
The natural Gas boom in N.TX is dieing a painful death, but guess what folks....
... we get to still pay those outrageous $11,000 pay increases to all county employees for the next 20+ years. Thanks Wise County Commissioners! Conservative my ass!
10:52 - do you know if Wise County has gone to the unit system?
To anonymous 7:49...
Do not get your hopes up too high. Trust me, I am still the mean spirited, self absorbed "beeotch" you have come to know and hate. I have been too busy to spend much time yanking your chain. Once I finish with my current project you can bet the farm I will be back to pissing you off more than the IRS.
