- Go vote. Unless you're not very bright.
- Will my car pass inspection if I have a small crack in my windshield?
- I love those "Most Interesting Man In The World" commercials from Dos Equis. Normally there's a narrator saying things like: "When it rains, it’s because he has thought of something sad." "He’s left-handed . . . and right-handed." "He once called a wrong number, but the person on the other end refused to admit he had done so." But I saw one the other day where the actor did the speaking himself: "Saying something, and having something to say are two very different things." Preach on, brother.
- There was the story over the last couple of days of the lady who was struck by a bullet at the Texas Motor Speedway. Funny bit on The Ticket this morning: They named race winner Carl Edwards as a suspect since he was seen holding the commemorative six shooters after the race.
- I've got to replace the TV in my bedroom. Probably going with a 26 inch, high def (although I think it's hard to buy a new TV without it being high def.) Anyway, I'm thinking about this one. But I'm open to suggestions.
- I'm going to try and go the entire Maverick season without intentionally watching a single game (I'll grant an excuse if I momentarily stop on a game while channel surfing.)
- One of the funniest moments of the campaign was Joe Biden's "Oh! God love ya! What am I talking about???" moment.
- If you're running for judge, it must be mandatory for you to say, "Judges should interpret the law, not make law."
- I learned my ancestors have been traced back to England. I'm guessing a King or something like that.
- Bad economic news yesterday. GM sales down 45% (as well as losses from all auto makers.) Circuit City closing 155 stores. Get ready for more of this. A lot more.
- I would think the local Weatherford College Campus proposition will pass without any organized opposition against it. I'll be opening up a fraternity house -- we'll be having a mixer with the Tri-Delts at Casa Torres later today.
- I'd rather vote on making FM 51 a ten lane toll road.

I just purchased that very TV. Love it! Size is just right for a bedroom, even though the 32 in tv's are about the same price. Got mine at Walmart in Denton (Decatur was out of them and didn't know if they were going to get anymore) for about $560. It is nice!
So, should we now call you "Prince" Barry?
listen up people!!!
obama is NOT the anti-christ!!!
the anti-christ will have all the answers and speak with a smooth tongue, obama has NO answers and puts his foot in his mouth....
and by the way for all of you african-americans that want to vot e him in because he is african-american...his mother is white and his father is from the middle east so where does african-american come in the play?? is just because he is darker than your plain white guy?
The girl in pink is trying to stick them out, too bad there isn't anything there.
For the money, a Vizio from Wal-Mart is hard to beat. No complaints. And I'm noticing McDondalds in both Bport and Decatur have the same model in their dining area.
Unless the crack is in the direct line of driver vision, it should pass inspection.
Obama's grandmother died. A sad moment for his family, and I extend my condolences to them.
But shouldn't there be at least one newspaper headline that says "Typical White Person Dies"?
"I'll be opening up a fraternity house..."
Please let me participate in the topless co-ed Jell-O wrestling!
Just ring the f***ing bell, ya pansy!
You're my boy, Blue!
"I'm going to try and go the entire Maverick season without intentionally watching a single game..."
I've been doing that for years. Nothing more boring (for me, at least) than basketball on TV. I can switch over, check the score, and then I'm out.
"I love those "Most Interesting Man In The World" commercials from Dos Equis."
My fave: He's a lover, not a fighter. But he's also a fighter, so don't get any ideas!
"Will my car pass inspection if I have a small crack in my windshield?"
I'm pretty sure the answer is yes. If not, then most of the vehicles in WC would not pass. (!@#$% rock trucks)
I think TVs will be a hot-ticket item on the day-after-thanksgiving (Black Friday) sales this year. That's when we are replacing ours BG. You can keep tabs on those sales at www.bfads.net. The store ads are starting to be posted, though the stores hate it.
Merry Christmas!
Inspection? Yes, a small crack should be no problem.
Samsung? Yes, great TV. (Decatur Wal-mart lost THREE sales from my family and myself, all because they NEVER have ANY of the bigger TVs in stock--and "don't know when they'll get more".)
Ancestry? Your ancestors probably were hanged on the Tiburn Gallows--but AFTER having progeny (kids), so you could be born!
It won't be long now until Obama is our man! Change is finally coming.
GO VOTE, BEOTCH!
"Who's that then"?
"I dunno, must be a king."
"Why"?

Hey, BG ~ are you gonna do a live blog tonight as the returns roll in? Please?
Court Jester, definitely.

Wordbile you are one class act. If I would have bought your mom one more drink at Frilly's I would have been your dad.
But then again so was the whole town. Hang in buddy !!!

"...his father is from the middle east so where does african-american come in the play??"
Um, I believe his father is from Kenya, which is IN AFRICA, not the Middle East.
He isn't just darker than your plain white guy, he is half-black.
Usually, whenever somebody writes "listen up people!!!" you can bet something dumb is gonna follow. And the use of multiple exclamation points just puts a...well, an exclamation point on the stupidity of the statement.
However, I am really disappointed to hear that he is not the anti-christ. Does this mean that I should or shouldn't vote for him today? I still haven't made up my mind (he said, tongue planted firmly in cheek)
"Go vote. Unless you're not very bright".
WOW
901 - Cool remark. You must be really old.
Your derision is misplaced. I was quoting the words of your candidate, Barack Obama, as he described his now-deceased grandmother. Was the disrespect mine, or his?
Joe Biden- a complete jerk!
8:48; What change are you talking about? No one can explain this change thing. Please explain in detail.
I think that it is pretty well established that the Green ancestry was stall mucking. Hey, pretty much like you do now.
I'm also pretty sure that using McDonalds and dining room in the same sentense is a sign of the Apocalypse.
"Go vote, unless you're not very bright" That would exclude most Texas voters.
TV's:
Don't pay more than $550 for that one. You might look at LG also, they have a decent warranty and the service is good, plus, the prices are typically less.
Why should we build Weatherford a new campus that isn't convenient to all of Wise county and why should they charge our students more if we build the campus for them?
8:30 -
Obama's father was born in Kenya which is still in Africa.
Unless, of course, the anti-christ Palin, moved it recently.
Im with Jar, live blog would probably
be pretty interesting tonight.
Wordkyle - read Barry's first bullet point on today's random thoughts. He wrote that one for you.
1033 - Thanks, I voted early. Does that make me extra bright? No lines, no waiting, and I got a "He Votado Hoy" sticker for my trouble. In and out in three minutes -- voting the straight Republican ticket saves time.
But since you brought it up, here's a video of a typical Obama supporter. Should she vote?
Don't buy a high def that is not 1080. It will cost a little more but will be worth it. Sharp makes a 32" that is only about 2" wider than most 26" Tv's. Check Ken's in Bridgeport to see if he has any deals on 'em.
BG - If I understand this nomenclature correctly, 720p has been the standard for HDTV, and I am not aware of any of the satellites broadcasting in 1080p, so the model you are considering would be fine for watching broadcast TV. However, if you think you might wish to view the higher resolution Blu-Ray DVD's on that TV, you will need a model (as well as a Blu-Ray player) that supports 1080p, I think.
to 9:56 -- We are quite accustomed to outbursts indicating a consuming envy such as you expressed. Bless your heart.
your first comment would exclude most democrats.
barry , i would not buy anything from BestBuy. they have terrible 'after the sale' service. basiclly, after you buy it , your are screwed if anything goes wrong.
i will never buy from them again.
I bought my Visio at WalMart in Bowie. Well worth the drive up there. I avoid Decatur if at all possible. Mo lines, easy parking and I'm not pissed off everytime I leave.
Samsung has had problems in the past with longevity of products. Don't know if it's still the case because I quit buying anything from them after learning of this.
Vizio is good for the price. I prefer the Sharp Aquos over anything in the 32" and under market.
How about Joe Biden talking about how the "state of Philadelphia" would vote in his speech last night. Poor guy. He'll make for some great SNL spoofs in the future.
Think of all the money that could generated from just the oilfield traffic alone!!
wordkyle -re: the video
My prayer is that you will never have to 'worry' about paying your bills. That you will always have a job that pays you to spend half your day sitting around making snide comments on blogs. My prayer is that your children never be hungry. That you can always sit upon your high and mighty throne and look down at others who struggle each day to live and lay awake at night worrying about how to make ends meet. Over 50% of food stamp recipients today has at least one adult working at least 40 hrs a week. They cannot feed their family on what they earn. May you never be one that could benefit from the compassion of others.
207 - Your prayers are too late.
In the past I have worried about bills, and occasionally still do.
In the past I have lain awake at night worrying about how to make ends meet.
But even in my worst times I never, ever thought a politician would make my car payment or pay my mortgage. I always knew that it was up to me to take care of myself and my family. One way or another, I managed.
Do we show compassion when we make one person dependent on another? This woman thinks Obama will pay her bills. Of course, he doesn't even support his own impoverished relatives. Isn't giving the woman that false belief crueler than anything I could say?
The woman in the video deserves derision because of what her support of Obama entails, essentially "you wash my back and I'll wash yours." And Obama is feeding that worldview, among the very unfortunates for which you profess compassion. They will never know a moment of true freedom, because the government has taken their soul.
As for my job, I worked, studied and prepared for thirty years to be able to create my dream job. I am now enjoying the fruits of all that effort. Obama would have it taken from me to give to others who are struggling no harder than I did in the past. How can such a policy be called fair, just or compassionate?
Bravo, Wordkyle. Bravo
I gotta go with WK on this one. He's starting to make your bleeding heart look stupid. Maybe you should give it up for now.
They were saying on the news the other day that prices for flat screen tvs are going to go down. I just heard the teaser for that segment of news so I can't pass along any specifics.
Myself, I'm not waiting on prices to go down, I'm waiting on Obama to buy me a new TV.
i voted against the new weatherford campus. i think it is a dumb idea to have it on 380.
they should just knock down wal mart college and rebuild in the same place...maybe building up, instead of out.
I heard that prices on TVs 37" and under were going to nose dive for the holidays. Estiamtes are around $350 - $300 for the 27" - 32". They sure seem high now compared to what I thought they cost.
