- Allison Krauss won a Grammy last night -- I've always thought she was a big time cutie. (But Krauss and Robert Plant are a weird combo although I'm compelled to track down that winning song.)
- Funny line from Saturday Night Live: What do you tell your kids when they ask why they can't smoke dope like Michael Phelps? Tell them they can ---- as soon as they win 12 gold medals.
- The Grammy's used to have a bit of haughty air about it. Not anymore. Performing last night: Jonas Brothers, Kid Rock, and Miley Cyrus.
- Crazy Grammy moment: M.I.A. (honestly, I had no idea who she was) performing nine months pregnant. I'll find a pic. You won't believe the outfit. Edit: Got it.
- Uh, He's Just Not That Into You looks like it might be funny.
- The Southlake Town Center parking lot is always packed.
- Finally got around to watching Whoopi Goldberg and Hannity. Bor. Ing. He cowered down and made it a lovefest.
- Kirk Cameron, who has gone very Christian, is in a new movie called Fireproof. Never heard of it? Join the club. But the movie which was made for probably $500,000 has already made over $33 million.
- What a mess Obama inherited. But I still feel comfortable seeing someone confident in the Oval Office for a change.
- I don't consider a 72 degree day afternoon with 25 mph winds as a "nice day."
- Regarding the kid that bled to death over the weekend while trying to burglarize a car: We talked about a similar scenario in law school and most of the class threw down the callous "he got what he deserved" comment. I still remember the professor looking up and saying, "He shouldn't have been stealing, but I'm not sure he deserved the death penalty for that particular crime."
- Oh, and WBAP, with two days to cover the story, reported this morning that the death occurred in Decatur.
- Finally finished Season 2 of The Wire. Love it.
- The Rangers signed Andruw Jones to a minor league contract this weekend. Stay with me here. One year ago he signed a two year, $36 million deal with the Dodgers but turned out to be a colossal failure. Since in baseball all contracts are guaranteed, he cut a deal with the Dodgers where he would agree to defer the payment on the balance of his contract so they could release him. Incredible.

Every husband and boyfriend could benefit from watching Fireproof.
Obama did'nt inherit any bigger mess than Bush did from the playboy. Just sayin.
IF LLFTLODQ was a democracy, we would all vote to have YOU let ME start picking out the girl pictures you post. You are like Borat "this one good, this one not so much"..... I am starting to think these are kinfolks you owe favors to so you put them on the internet. They get all excited, "mom, granny, cousin leroy, aunt edna, COME QUICK!!! Mr Barry put me on his computer!!!"
Dude, half these girls are making the male portion of your readers wanna try Master Cleanse.
Just Sayin..
Double Fake Ugly Women Judge
This is a Link to a very preggers M.I.A. and other "c"rappers doing their thing at The Grammy's.
Just because Obama inherited a mess that was made MUCH worse in the past 2 years by the Democrat controlled House and Senate does not mean it gives Obama a free pass to make things WORSE.
As for Rowdy Robles. You are absolutely correct, death is not the LEGAL penalty for burglary. However, during the course of someone engaging in illegal behaviour they are often times not afforded the protection of the law until they stop the illegal behaviour and are again under the protection of the law. Death is not the legal penalty for driving while intoxicated however, frequently, death is the result of DWI. Sometimes, the laws of nature and/or cause and effect supersede the laws of society.
Re: Fireproof
You must see Flywheel and Facing the Giants. Then the church made Fireproof. Awesome movies.
"Uh, He's Just Not That Into You looks like it might be funny."
I'm just not that into chick flicks. or at all.
"I still remember the professor looking up and saying, "He shouldn't have been stealing, but I'm not sure he deserved the death penalty for that particular crime.""
Big difference between being assessed the death penalty for a major crime, and having the misfortune to get yourself killed for a lesser crime, whether it's through your own stupidity or at the hand of your victim.
Maybe you could start a crime prevention school where would-be criminals are required to learn about the possible consequences of their illegal actions. If even some of them stop to think that something could happen to them the way it did to that genius (fence guy), it might be a successful program. Wishful thinking
I believe its the Sherwood Church who has made the movies. They use their own congregation as the actors until Fireproof. Kirk Cameron donated his time for the movie. Flywheel came first, then Facing the Giants, then Fireproof. Everyone should watch them. I can't wait until the next one.
It is a tragic loss for the family of that boy. Can not imagine what it would be like to bury ones child. But no one sentanced the child to the death penalty for his crime. It was an acident, but the fact is, he set himself up for it, by doing something stupid, and wrong.
I hate that the kid bled to death trying to steal. Not what he desereved. But now the family of the kid will prbably sue the property owner for wrongful death or something similar. Everyone is looking for a check these days seems like.
Barry, what did you want Hannity to do...beat up on an unarmed opponent? You bad boy.
I'm looking forward to seeing "Fireproof". The same church made the football movie "Facing the Giants" and it was really good.
8:12 ... "Obama did'nt inherit any bigger mess than Bush did from the playboy." ...
Are you kidding me?????
The whole Plant/Krauss CD is excellent...different...but really good! I think you should get it.
5 to 1 odds the kid in the break-in was from Newark. 7 to 1 that someone in his immediate family is a registered sex offender.
Just sayin.
Fireproof is a great movie!
in his first press conference, when he issued the order to close gitmo. obama had to ask his lawyer what was in his own executive order. but hes confident. your pretty sharp barry
I drug my husband to "He's Just Not That Into You" on Saturday Night. He was fine with it because it had a smokin cast of actresses. I was very indecisive about the movie while I was watching it and right after we left. Then we went to dinner and we started talking about the movie. I think the movie did more for us than a trip to marriage counseling. It is rated PG13, however I think highschool age would be completely bored with it. We are in our early 30's and really enjoyed it. For guys....3 hot Jennifer's in the movie. Jennifer Goodwin, Jennifer Aniston, and Jennifer Connelly. Oh and Scarlett Johanson. And for the gals; Ben Affleck, Justin Long (mac vs. PC guy), Kevin Connolly (HBO Enterage), and Bradley Cooper. Star studded cast.
Yeah, Bush left a huge mess for Obama, both economically and from a foreign policy standpoint. No doubt about that.
So that begs the question: did you guys elect Obama so you could blame Bush for 4 [or 8] more years or did you elect him because you thought he could fix the problems like he promised he could?
His real test is not whether he can blame past administrations for our situation, but whether he has the mettle to take action to correct past wrongs. Will he bring hope and change? So far all I'm seeing is politics as usual: lots of talk, bigger government, vapor-locked congress and the same crappy foreign policy we've had since 1988.
I'll give him a little more time, but I'm skeptical simply because he's a politician with his own self-interests at the forefront.
Oh yeah. And your former law "professor" sounds like a dolt with a comment like that.
Regarding Obama -- nevermind. It's all been said, and the rest is playing out in front of us. I'm going to hate being right about him.
Regarding the kid who died: There are two parts here. 1) The kid was committing a crime, and would not have died if he had not been committing the crime; and 2) A family has lost a child because of stupidity on his part. Those of us with kids sigh when we see what dumbness they're capable of, just as our own parents sighed about us. It's a horrible tragedy to lose a child, no matter what the circumstances. It's pretty hardhearted to say he "deserved" what he got. Deserve's got nothing to do with it. He shouldn't have been doing what he was doing, but damn....
Barry that Yankee Sissie diet you are on has made you stoopid. Obammy did not inherit anything but good things from our beloved president W.
Still cant believe that we put a colored in our White House. This whole bad economy thing was made up by lazy liberals like your self on this blog so they could get some free hand outs in Washington.
I am a self made man running these big rock trucks up and down 287 and I see nothing but good things here in Wise County.
Headin to Whataburger for my double meat and cheese. You need to go back and practice in Ft.Worth you T back wearing liberal pansy.
Amen Jarhead. Very well put. Time for the big "O" to start doing , not more talking. As for your "professor" comment, they have always said "Those that can do, do it. Those that can't,teach.
once again, one party does not control the Senate until they have 60 votes.......this crap about the DEMS control both houses is just that crap. If they controlled it, they wouldn't be crawling on their knees trying to get two to three Reps to get to that 60.
Those 41 Republicans control the Senate.
9:58, they want the republicans to vote for it so they dont have to take the blame for themselves. they know this bill is just socialist BS trying to grow government as much as possible, and they want rebulican names on it so they can say,"see they voted for it too".
If someone could sue these people for the stupid kid killing himself on a pointy fence, then they could sue someone for having an electric fence or barbed wire, etc. It's the people's personal property and if they want to put a sea of shards of glass around their property, they should do it if it's to protect themselves from dumb shits like this boy.
I don't feel sorry for him or his family. If you raise dumb shit children and do not parent properly, Karma will run it's course on you.
958 - I don't know if you're a troll or an Obama supporter. Your statements seem designed to attract flames, but there's always the chance that you actually vote...
Civics 101 - Legislation is passed by a simple majority of both houses of Congress. Democrats have many more than a majority in each house, ergo, Democrats control Congress. The Democrat Senate would need 60 votes only to end a Republican filibuster. (And I really feel like I got suckered into responding to this one...)
As someone said before me, the Democrats are looking for political cover so they can scream "bipartisan" when the spendulus bill flops.
And ditto Jarhead's comments on Obama.
10:20...
actually, reagan grew the government, too. he also raised taxes more than he cut them (both facts you can look up). clinton cut government jobs (thus SHRINKING it), and cut taxes more than raising them. also verifiable facts.
grow a brain and stop playing partisan politics and start participating in your government. you'd be surprised at what knowing who your local council members are (and how to contact them) can do for you.
also, people, "your" means YOUR. "you're" means YOU ARE. *rolls eyes*
Ever noticed that Karma and Darwin rhyme?
Some days after reading the comments in this blog I am very thankful that I don't live in Wise County.
How small is your world?
Allison Krauss is a national treasure.
Wordkyle this is 9:58 and YES I do vote sir. And you are my kind of guy. You take these liberal sissies down a notch. Dont know were you live in our county but you should run for mayor or sumthing.
I know you dont like no negros in the White house either. Thats why they called it a White House !
Barry is nuthing more than a commie negro luving liberal weenie. Obammy will fail and you and I can get back to a good ole fashion white mans world.
Time to get back on the truck.
"Ever noticed that Karma and Darwin rhyme?"
Not the way I pronounce them (which is correctly).
First syllables only don't count
What's your point?
11:05
Does it make you feel better about yourself to look down on us "bumpkins"?
1134 - Okay, thanks, you cleared up what you are.
Alison Krauss 26 total Grammys, making her the winningest female artist in Grammy history. She is just one win from tying all-time (living) champ Quincy Jones. And a few to go to catch the late classical conductor Georg Solti, who won 31 Grammys during his long career.
Thr Grammy stage is sure nothing new for her.
I suspect 9:58 and 9:52 are the same person, and most likely a troll. Open mouth, spew crap
If you actually are driving, make sure the hood is on straight so you can see out the eye holes
The f ing kid was 15 you idiots! Remember the old saying about Glass houses? We all have kids, grandchildren. etc. that WILL do stupid things as they grow up. Rich or poor, kids will make poor decisions. You ADULTS who are perfect and that have raised perfect children beware of what you say, because it may come back to bite you.
8:17
you are confusing Random Morning pics with "Hey Now" and "Afternoon Pick Me Up" pics. You can call into question his choice of the latter two, but the photos accompanying the random morning thoughts may not necessarily be girls that he finds hot, although sometimes they are hot
If it means that much to you, start your own blog. Then we can judge your taste in women.
Barry, did that guy call you a weenie? If I were you, I think I would correcy him. It's weener, with a mister and or sir in front.
http://www.playlist.com/searchbeta/tracks#robert%20plant%20and%20alison%20krauss
you can listen to some of the plant/krauss songs here.
they're different, i kinda like 'em
11:54 This is the rock hauler here. And yes I do drive this truck for Chaney but if it wasnt for Obammy I could have bought my own truck and started my own company. That guy Joe the plumber was right. So is my buddy here Wordkyle. He can write real fancy and cut and paste and I aint so good at that. But we are from the same mold.
Anobiter and that other girl House of R&R are chicks we dig. They think just like me and Wordkyle.
Do not be mad at me just because I am a proud republican. And there are others like me on this blog. I have read the other blogs Barry supports.
11:49, 15 year old's know right from wrong. It's not a hard concept. Most 15 year old's aren't criminals and most 15 year old's know when a fence is dangerous. It doesn't take amazing parenting skills to not be such an idiot. His (and his parent's) idiocy has taken it's consequences on him.
Allison Krauss & Union Station--They Rock.
1241 and whatever other anonymous posts: This is at least a new tactic. However, you're not the first Liberal who tried to link my positions to racism. And I actually copy and paste very little.
I now throw Kingsfield's shroud over you.
Oh yeah, 15 year olds are known to do the smartest things. Did anybody out there ever date a preachers daughter? Did you ever hang out with a preachers kid?
Oh, wait a minute, they were brought up perfectly so they surely wouldn't make a mistake. I just love hypocrites!
If you want an idea of what America is really like I recommned you watch Fahrenheit 911 a film by award winning documentarian Micheal Moore.
Micheal Moore ought to sue McDonalds for making him so damn fat!
Some days the comments are just stupid. Today.
Al Gore is an award winning documentarian also so that shows you how much clout an award carries.
How many of you Democrats or Republicans actually get involved and try to make a difference. Not many here in Wise County as I know because I am involved and it is pathetic. Most of you just want to run your mouth about things. If you don't want to work for change why don't you just keep your mouth shut.
Looks to me like the one on the right is doing the "Saturday Night Special" reverse cop-a-feel.
Double Fake Darwin & Karma, Rhymers Extraodinaire
"What a mess Obama inherited"
No, he created it. Did he not represent unqualified home buyers in the famous Chicago lawsuite that forced implementation of the Community Reinvestment Act? That court decision was used all over the U.S. to justify subprime lending. This was the beginning of the crash. Plus, Obama received more political donations than any other Senator or Congressmen, other than Dodd, from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Yep, bought and paid for. He made his bed. In the process Dodd, Obama and the other Democrats in Congress screwed over the American people. Bush said stop in 2003 and the Democrats said go. A couple of years later, when legislation was again before Congress, McCain spoke on the record to the effect that if Fannie and Freddie reigns were not pulled in that it would have a devistating effect on the economy. The Democrat majority said leave them alone. The lack of action on the part of the Democarat Congress did and is having a devistating effect on the economy.
Fireproof was a horrible movie. First of all, I despise the fact I paid money for a movie with Kirk Cameron in it. Second, apparently he is petulant child until he comes to Tha Loard! Just a bunch of cardboard characters with no development, and abundant stereotypes.
Wordkyle I aint no racist and neither are you. Like I said I like the way you post. Keepin these pansy ass liberals in check and all.
Sorry about the cut and post comment. Meant nothing by it but I sure cant do nothin like that. Now you are proud to be white aint ya? Nothin wrong with that. Bet they are hawt!
Seems to me that Barry lets you on here so people can laugh at you. but I aint laughin. They need to listen to ya. If you ever need a load of rock dumped for your driveway let me know. Nothin I wont do for another republican like ourselves.
psst ... You got the scoop on those other two how gals I mentioned?
2:49==
Your points are spot on. Your spelling is atrocious. Kinda dilutes the message, if you know what I mean.
I can't quite put my finger on it but, I know I'm having a deja vue moment here.
Gawd I'd love to hold those two.
Uh, you got any more? Uh that's kinda hot. Uh
Wordkyle,
For the first time ever, I agree with you. No matter what, a child does not deserve to die that way. What a sad, sad thing for this family.
Sorry about my spelling 2:49. I just don't have your education. Dad put me to picking cotton when I was five years old. So what is "spot on"?
Bleeding out is mostly painless.Done that twice,Screaming for help will get you arrested.His buddy will never make a Marine (leave no man behind).God help his parents.DAGO
Don't know but, a little Shout ought to work wonders.
Wordkyle responding to his own posts is not uncommon. Word and Jug love each other a lot is quite clear. Blah you are so right blah blah yea and you blah blah those liberals blah blah Obama blah blah, has been President less than a month and he has destroyed blah blah. Blah Blah Rush says, Hannity says, Drudge says, Blah Blah. Word says Blah Jug would you play with my blah blah... I luv ya blah blah. Blah blah blah. Blah Those liberals, Obama blah blah. Rush says blah. Word says blah blah blah. Blah blah blah. Blah yada yada blah....
Now that's weird.
2208: The Liberal Manifesto.
blahblah.
Hey This is Rock Truck. Leave my boy alone there 10:08. That is the way he rolls.
10:08 Should shoot themselves in the face with a gun
yeah girl in red.. those are uh.. big.
Do you have more pics of Miss Red. I have been strangly drawn to her several times over the past two days.
7:13, Maybe you should just pray to Jesus. But hell, I forgive you.
