Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts

  • Ugh, I might be getting sick. When that happens, the only thing I care about is good health.
  • I took an Advil Cold and Sinus which is great for colds and making meth. And I bought a jug of Gatorade and downed it like nobody's business this morning.
  • I didn't follow the Holy Land trial all that closely (it ended yesterday with convictions) but it seems wrong that a defendant can be retried after a hung jury. The government should have one bite at the apple. That's it.
  • Dogs like me very quickly.
  • The Dallas Morning News' twitter page is written by a sixth grader, I think.
  • Bush issued a bunch of pardons yesterday and that's fine with me. Pardon away. But many of them are for penny-ante crimes that occurred years ago which resulted in a short probation.
  • Funny line from a lady at the courthouse the other day: "We love you, Barry. There's a lot of people that love you . . . . (insert awkward pause) . . . But there's a lot of people that hate you, too."
  • Under the radar: A Texas state trooper was arrested after picking up two suitcases of cocaine.
  • I wish the Messenger would print the cause of death in it's funeral announcements. At least when it's obvious it was not a natural death. There was a lady a little younger than me who grew up in Chico that died last week, and I want to know what happened. But I don't know if that's morbid or not.
  • Obscure beat down: I lost my fantasy football game this week 87.75-87.45 because I had a receiver in last night's game who threw an interception after I had the game won. It looks like that coveted fantasy football Super Bowl ring will elude me yet again.
  • Someone chewed me out in the comments below the Indoor Practice Facility post for allowing anonymous comments. But he or she didn't sign her name.
  • I'm pretty sure a 27 year old Sunday School teacher should not be sending topless pics of herself to a 14 year old male student. It's in the Bible. But we definitely need a face pic of her so we can judge the magnitude of this sin.
  • If I wanted to take all my money and convert it all to Euros, can I? I guess that would be possible and easy. That sounds crazy, but if a person were to believe that inflation is about to go through the roof and a dollar is going to be almost worthless, that sounds like a good idea.
  • That was some economic Crazy Talk.
  • Alan Colmes is leaving Hannity and Colmes? That's not news. It's been the Sean "Look At Me" Hannity show for years. Colmes was just a prop.
  • In New Jersey, you are not allowed to post your own gas. And the price was under $1.70.
  • Sports Scenario: Oklahoma loses to Oklahoma State sending Tech to the Big 12 Championship game where they beat Missouri to win the Big 12 title. But the Evil Empire is ranked higher in the BCS and goes to the National Championship game. Could happen.
  • Tiger Woods' hot wife and cute kid.
  • People seem to slowly walk into the courthouse but hurry out of there. I understand that.
