- Channel 8's Cynthia Izaguirre thinks we care about her last name far more than we actually do. Two words: High. Maintenance.
- A cop shot at a fleeing Hulen mall shoplifter last night? Shot at? What is this? A 1970s TV cop show?
- And at 6:30 a.m., the news broke that a person had been shot in the head at the high tone Northpark Center. A car fired from outside and hit a cleaning crew member (according to Fox 4.)
- Keep away from all malls today.
- One of my sources deep inside the colon of Fox 4 News tells me I'm the #10 referrer to their web site.
- President Obama looked very presidential in his news conference last night. I don't think there will ever be a web site dedicated to "Obamaisms".

- Everywhere I turn I hear people say, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" -- like that phrase has just been invented.
- You guys continue to amaze me at your Obama hatred. Case in point: The post below which pointed out the number of government jobs in the metroplex which was immediately followed by the "blame it on Obama" comments. Like he had anything to do with the number of police officers already in Arlington or the number of teachers in Lewisville.
- My all time hated phrase is, "If you don't like the weather in Texas, just wait a minute."
- Second all time hated phrase, "I hate it when that happens."
- I think the phrase "That's a little toooooooo much information" originated in Pulp Fiction.
- The radio is full of Vermont Teddy Bear ads for Valentines. Their catch phrase is that delivery to your spouse's offices will cause "her co-workers to think you are the most romantic guy on the planet." You might not be, but at least others will think that.
- The Huckabee Report on WBAP (five minutes long at 7:30 a.m. ) is a romper room for conservatives.

We'll get plenty of "Bidenisms" in the next four years.
How many bloggers actually remember Romper Room?
Obama seemed a little rattled last night on the Iraq issues.....very powerful on the economic issues though...
Obama's is so intelligent. He truly thinks that only government can fix the economy? That had to be the comment of the night at his news conference. What a dumba** Marxist!
And did the reader "force" you to post it?
I do remember Romper Room, and the
Do Bee Song, and the weekly reader.
"I'll say Izza-gear-A, that way you'll understand it." I love being talked down to.
Barry we know My gosh do we know you didn't like Bush. Barry we know you must have a man crush on Barrak Hussein Obama. Oops I used his full name now Barry's really going to get upset.
We concur Barry that there will not be a website for Obamaisms for several reasons.
1) He will never receive the scrutiny from media sources that President Bush received...after all Obama is their boy.
2) Obama is what his writers say for him to be. He is as real as a mannequin.
3) Those who might disagree with Obama are several cuts above those who spewed the hate against President Bush.
One "Obamaism" that should be remember by ALL Americans is his constant reminder of "I won." Obama fails to mention he won by lying about his TRUE plans for further running the economy into the ground and assuring there will be NO hope of prosperity of ANY of our children and grandchildren except for those born to the wealthiest among us.
I believe, one of the side-effects of using anabolic steroids is "thickening of the epidermis" so A-Rod should be in the clear. I would imagine, that getting paid trainloads of dough for playing a game little boys play for free goes a long way to soothing any ego bruising caused by booing fans.
The reason SI "just doesn't have the same punch that it used to" for you is because of all the porn on the Interweb. jus' sayin'
Pulp Fiction is one of my all time favourite flicks and I am not a Travolta fan.
Trust me, if a REAL woman received an $80. Vermont Teddy Bear at the office someone would call Child Protective Services and have her investigated because everyone would think she was dating a 9 year old. Grown-up women do NOT want $80. teddy bears for St. Valentine's Day.
Huckabee, Hannity, Beck, O'Reilly, Colter and Limbaugh are just as much responsible for the partisanism in the U.S. as are Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Kerry, Kennedy, Schumer, Franks, Boxer and Waters. The only difference is that the aforementioned Raging Right WingNUTZ are not passing legislation that will forever change the U.S. into something it was never intended to become.
As long as the majority of people can afford to shop at Wal-mart and pay for cable T.V. there will NEVER be an American Revolution.
I have never thought newspapers were worth the trees upon which they are printed.
8:17 - Were we watching the same news conference? He never said anything remotely like "only government can fix the economy." What he said was that (a) economists universally agree that when things are this bad, government must play a role in fixing the economy, and (b) the significant majority of American voters that elected him did not send him to Washington to do nothing about this economic problem. So if you want to disagree with him, try disagreeing with one of those two statements.
8:19 ... me too.

did anyone "really believe" that A-rod wasnt on steroids?. the first time i saw him, i knew, you know like Bill Clinton didnt inhale. it was a lie, everyone knew but chose to overlook it.
Aw, quit hatin' on Cynthia so much. We regularly watch Channel 8 local news, and I've never really sensed her being arrogant, full of herself, etc. Actually, her last name IS hard to "hear" when it has been said by her in the past, because they talk so fast. I think it's funny that she has made a post about the pronunciation of her name. Don't think she was being ENTIRELY serious about it.
Mz...right on girl...Except for the tree/paper reference I am a tree farmer and would love it if you bought paper bags and newspapers! And Barry I love the "colon" reference, very appropriate, ya think?
Heck, I was on Romper Room!
I've seen plenty of intelligent people who are Dumbasses.
Gun show? Is this 1969? I had no idea those were still around. Anyone can buy a gun? What if a terrorist wanted to buy some guns? Please go and take lots of pictures, but I'd wear a bullet proof vest.
Yeah, I hear ya, 8:28AM, after Bush the blurter, having someone like Obama who actually *thinks* about what he says before he says it, it does kinda make it sound like his comments were written down first! Quite a change from the past. We're sure gonna miss the good old fashioned shoot from the hip off the cuff style of leadership we'd gotten so used to.
And in addition to everything else going to H in a handbasket, we now learn that the mother of the octuplet's is receiving food stamps and government assistance.
Barry, its not Obama hate, but fear of more help from the Govt. The place is so corrupt and utterly clueless on what happens to real people when they issue their mandates from Mt. Olympus. I live in fear of the day I have to take one of my children to the hospital and because of some govt. run universal healthcare plan they tell me they can't treat him/her because its not cost effective. Then they will find out they are not the only ones with a list.
I have sent you pics of chicks before and you did not use them.
Nice gut.
8:35 -
Were you watching the same press conference that we were? Obama clearly said that "Only Government can stop this vicious cycle of job loss."
I tried to be open minded and listen to Obammy last night but I couldn't get past all the "uhs" and avoiding answering the questions. It's going to be a long 4 years...
8:35
I did not watch the news conference last night. However, I do have a distinct memory from the last couple of days where Obama said something to the effect of: "only government can correct the economic problem". Maybe he didn't utter that phrase last night, but he has said something extremely close to it recently.
My idea is to take all the billions of dollars they have planned for all the corporations and hand it out to taxpayers. It would be infused into the economy to help lending, auto, electronics, travel industries. Leave all the money intended for infrastructure and other improvement projects alone. That plan would also help people pay down their debt. We already know we can't trust a lot of companies with large amounts of cash, especially if it is just handed to them. They tend to spend it on "things" they can't justify. They'll get it in the long run from consumers, but at least it will have done some good in the process.

I've wondered about the possibility of an American Revolution of some type as mentioned by mz. I think we were coming close to a tax revolution of some type that would have changed the face of America until The Mad Bomber Mongtotard Tim Mcveigh blew up the Murrah building.
As you may recall there were several hotbed areas that were rebelling against our confiscatory tax system. People were starting to understand the incredible power of the IRS. The politicians were publicly talking tax reform to include a fixed income tax for all tax payers and other IRS reforms (including downsizing).
People except for fringe groups wouldn't dare criticise the government after that day and the government was too busy devising novel ways of separating us from our civil rights.
Mcveigh was hoping to instill fear and foment a violent revolution- all he did was anger the people and strip all the fear of us the politicians as a group ever had.

To anonymous 9:24...
Not a bad plan since the current total amount, including the stimulus package the U.S. Congress is completing, would raise the government’s commitment to solving the financial crisis to $9.7 trillion, enough to pay off more than 90 percent of the nation’s home mortgages.
Oh, and ALL of that money is TAXPAYER'S money. Why should we be expected to pay to bail out industry PRIOR to paying for our own homes? Right! The government knows better how to spend OUR money than we do, so says the people WE keep electing to office.

This is a Link to the article you referenced.
8:17 is absolutely correct. Obama's exact quote from last night's love in with all his lib journalist friends was "It is only government that can break the vicious cycle where lost jobs lead to people spending less money which leads to even more layoffs."
Sorry 'ol wise one, but some us capitalists believe all you and you're type of government will do is tax and spend us into a hellish oblivion!
8:11am... I was actually a kid on an episode of Romper Room. Our kindergarten class go to go one day. I remember the bee song... because when everyone was flying around being a bumblebee... I was flying around being a jet plane!
And yeah, gun shows have been around forever. And no, don't recall any crazy mass murders at one. Pretty entertaining to attend, but also a good place to shop around for guns.
Sounds like the Fox 4 colon needs a good master cleansing.

Re: "Like he had anything to do with the number of police officers already in Arlington or the number of teachers in Lewisville."
The inaction of the Congress, both Republicans and Democrats, on stopping illegal immigration does have an effect on the number of police officers in Arlington and the number of teachers in Lewisville. I don't have the numbers for these two communities but the Dallas ISD is about 33% children of illegals. I do know that the more students a school has, the more teachers must be hired.
The open border supported by Obama contributes to the number of teachers in most Texas schools and the number of police officers in our communities.
It's pretty difficult to read your blog at work when you post pics that are "pornish." And I do blame YOU...YOU put it up there.
A simple plan that will NEVER be contemplated. Use the $9.7 trillion to pay off 90% of home mortgages which then injects a MASS amount of cash into the financial industry and provides homeowners with at least $1,000 extra to pump into the economy.
The Democrats will NEVER allow that to fly because the majority of the money will not go to the non-taxpaying, non-home owning, drains on the economy who vote for Democrats.
Giving taxpayers their own money to pay off their homes does not allow politicians to buy votes from people who have NOTHING at stake in the success of failure of the U.S.
10:44 - I can't help but wonder what Barry's family thinks of those half naked women?
:-)
Last gun show I went to was in market hall about 10 years ago. Some idiot got in with a loaded pistol and discharged it thru a table and into a tool box (the tool box recovered but had post tramatic stress syndrom). Man talk about a room full of people going silent. Haven't been to one since. I remember romper room and if memory serves Miss Mary Lynn was hot at least by Barry's standards. She is now a professor at UTA.
From the FWST:
Grave words from Obama
Risk: required: Congress'failure to act'could turn a crisis into a catastrophe'
Resources limited: Only the government can'jolt our economy back to life'
Pornish?
the kid in the poster is showing more questionable material than the girls imitating it.
If you get busted at work for looking at "pornish" material, I'm sure they'll understand when you explain that Barry is to blame. And he'll feel obligated, I'm sure, to represent you if you get the axe.
Don't you just hate it when that happens?
after bammys talk last night the dow is already down 290 points.
I can't hold anything against the Obama haters. It's not their fault. Dubya taught them to fear everything, so that's what they do. They're all slaves to him.
Can Barry Obama say "nuclear" ?
Mzchief - Your last statement is why any sort of plan that allows taxpayers to keep money without it passing through Washington's hands will never happen. Politicians derive their power through their ability to hand out money. That's the same reason a tax revolution won't happen anytime soon -- politicians have bought off the majority of Americans. Three words that cause panic in a politician: take home pay.
According to Barry's recent posts, he is happy with Obama because he appears presidential, and because he appears confident. Even our esteemed host, for whom I have the greatest respect, isn't citing Obama's accomplishments as reasons to like him. Counselor, would you care to respond? What has Obama done so far to make you proud of him?
(And let's see...so far, after only a month in office, Obama mistook a window for a door at the White House...he bopped his head on the doorway of Air Force One...he had to ask his legal counsel what was in his (Obama's) executive order. Should we, or shouldn't we, use these instances to form an image of Barack Obama as a bumbling, clumsy, ignorant fool? Hasn't the Left taken Bush's occasional missteps to create a caricature of him?)
Have they found the car that fired into the shopping mall? Cars and guns need to be banned.
Yea BG. The weather comment makes me want to shoo t somebody or myself. I think it's kinda like saying "put a cap on your head or you'll catch a cold" or " this weather! it's 80 deg on day and 30 deg the next"
That picture is an OBAMANATION!!!!
Ah yes, the Liberals are back at it again and using Obama as their Puppet. "The sky is falling, the sky is falling" and "we're here to save you". Look people, he does and say's what he's told, whether he likes it or not. He has more Liberals pissed off right now than he does anybody. All this is going the way those truly in control want it. As well, by the time it's all said and done the Republicans will be sitting back saying, "I told you so". Under this plan Capitalism is out the window and Socialism will enter because that's the way the powers that be want it. What they need to do is leave the economy alone, it will repair itself, maybe not as quick as our society wants it but it will correct it's self. This is the plan that was instituted after the depression. No one jumped in during the 1970's and the economy turned around. I would guess they're wanting to get all this free help to everybody before the gas prices go out the roof again. This way we all won't be taking it in the bunger as bad. I'll say it again, stop paying taxes and give Washington the fingure, money is the only thing that will get their attention.
CNN which lasts 24 hours a day is a romper room for liberal weenies. CBS, NBC, and ABC would be also but they have to show meaningless programs for revenue.

Actually, the DOW dropped 150 points during and because of Geithner's declaration that "We" are doing things that have never been done and some of them will be wrong and it will take a long time to turn around the current economic situation. Of course, it has never occurred to Obama and his band of elitist liberals that the reason the things they are doing have NEVER been done is because they are WRONG and WONT WORK. It is pathetic, Obama looks more and more like Bush with regard to just throwing BORROWED money at the problem and hoping SOMETHING works.

Where can I get a car that shoots at people?
either, mz now its down 348
All of you people that hate Obama needs to suck it. He is elected and we had to put up with George W. for 8 years, so you can just stick it where the sun don't shine and put up with Obama for 8 years. Revenge is SWEET!!!!!

My advise is if you are living in a McMansion financed with a Community Reinvestment Act sub prime mortgage and if you have any equity left; then sell it, take your money, buy and pay in cash for a mobile home on an acre or two and plant a garden. Oh, and go to the Fort Worth gun show, buy a rifle and practice up on your hunting and fishing skills. Just get back to the basics. Then you will be ok.
Reminds me of Waylon and Willie singing about Luckenbach.
Pornish?
Sheesh it's just a cute little pic.
And by the way Obama is the most overrated public speaker living today. He has a pleasant timbre in his voice from years of cigarette smoke and decent timing while reading speeches written by a decent writer.
The dog in the poster is cuter!
When I hear Pelosi/Obama/Reed/Barney Frank/ or Rangel speak I have Flashbacks to PennyWise the Clown from Stephen King's "IT", coxing the children with his creepy voice and baloons.
I just can't believe that people really believe this kind of "Stimulus" will help do anything other then provide more govt. jobs to be paid for by fewer private sector jobs. The math just doesn't work. No matter which side of the aisle your on, lets at least be intellectually honest and admit both parties are crooked as a dog's hind leg, and find some real solutions through better candidates from anywhere but the two parties.
Bahnny Fwank, what's wrong with Bahnny Fwank?
all this captialism vs socialism is sorta wierd. The tax code's prime function is to protect the rich. Who will come out of this mess smelling like a rose? Those capitalist who have the the money to take advantage of the situation.
That first trillion went to whom?
Who is going to buy all ths "toxic" assets at ten cents on the dollar? Who is getting incentives to do almost everything?
Who is preventing true healthcare reform. Maybe insurance companies and doctors, all known socialist of course.
Capitalism is alive and well, in fact thriving. Greed (capitalism out of control) caused this problem as it was made and will profit from its solution. That's how the deck is stacked.
2:16, your an idiot, you must have gone to college to be so smart
216 - Your first conclusion is weak. The tax code is designed to extract money by force from citizens who would not pay it willingly. Special interests such as unions, welfare recipients and trial lawyers are promised largesse from the government. To pay for it, the government takes s a little from each taxpayer. Therefore, the benefit is huge to those who receive it, and the pain is relatively small to those who pay for it. Those who receive pledge allegiance to the politicians, and those who pay shrug it off with "what are you gonna do?" And politicians cloak the payoffs in moralistic terms, such as "greed," "the wealthy," "the poor," etc.
The benefit of letting workers keep what they earn was learned early on by the Plymouth Plantation. They tried socialism/communism, and nearly starved to death. Only after switching to capitalism did they prosper.
Who created the "toxic assets?" Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are arguably the root. Who took the most money from those entites? Democrats Dodd and Obama. Who pushed for the creation of toxic assets (a/k/a mortgages to people who can't afford them?) Democrats.
Republicans squandered eight years of control by behaving like Democrats, and they paid the political price. At this point they're acting like they learned something. Time will tell how genuine their redemption is. Now Obama, Reid, Pelosi and co. have forced an extra ten trillion dollars or so of debt on taxpayers and our great grandchildren. What price will Democrats be forced to pay?
What's wrong with Bahnney Fwank? He is a liberal weenie and he likes liberal weenies.
One Bammyism sticks with me is when whats her name said there was finally something done to make her proud to be an American
What shiathead 8:59 AM, you think maybe she should have had an abortion? That food stamp thing
is mighty important to worry about for Conoservos. In fact, do Republicans hate food stamps or
abortion more? Maybe they are equal in their tight mind. Hard decision, I guess. Have
abortions to stop/cut down on food stamps, have food stamps to encourage women not to have
abortions. Wonder what would Jesus do? Decisions, decisions. Oh wait, What would Rush do?

9:twenty-four Morning, We must not be able to even trust the "inpower for a long time"
Republicans with large amounts of cash either. Somehow the Iraq war and all the billions of our
tax dollars for the "so what" answer to the non-existent weapons of mass destruction question
regarding the attack/invasion/occupation/regime change of a country are hardly ever mentioned. A mother with 8 new kids and food stamps? Now there's something to talk about how our tax money is spent.
chupa, did you know McVeigh was a big Rush fan? He's a good Rush fan now.
8:17, so the Republican solution has been to tax-cut and spend. ????

yes 1111, bammy has been president about 3 weeks, and everything is in ruins, and destroyed. You
Pugos knew all along.
and 11:19 am, about 20,000 other words correctly that "regular guy Bush" could not.
DisturbedKyle is about the same. Regular and everything.
Eleven-thirty-5, leave the economy alone. after all, we would love a 10 year "bust" of
everything just like the Hoover bunch "did nothing" and just let the country go bad. This does
help the wealthy just like everything else Republicans stand for. Anybody with money, can buy up assets and property real cheap, just like in the thirties. Most of the Big Wise County money is
old money made and passed down just like that.
1137am, CNN at least seems to be a little more fair about reporting both viewpoints than the
blatantly hard core right wing slanted FOX, that lies and pretends to be fair and balanced. If you think FOX is fair and balanced, you may just be a redass.

Is ANYONE really going to read the entire 10:46 rant? I made it to "9:twenty-four Morning."
1046 - You're the first commenter I've seen that was able to post your comments in crayon. Nice raving.
So the Dallas Morning News had nothing in it???? Earlier I posted the reason for computerizing all medical records (part of stimulus plan) would lead to rationing health care. The facts are coming out that an agency will guide medical providers on the treatment ALL of us will get. Also, health care providers will be under the agency for compliance. For example, I pay cash for my health care; however, my medical records have to go to the agency! The agency will set a guideline of treatment. If not cost effective, a 75 year old may not be able to have a hip replacement or a stint of a blocked artery. The reason this is in the Stimulus legislation, is the Democrats don't want a debate on health care out in the open! At the same time Billions are going to Planned Parenthood to pay for abortions and condoms!
Sociallze medicine is here unless it is stopped before this legislation is passed. That is the rush and that is the reason for all the fear tactics that are being used.
re:changing Texas weather
I've lived long enough in three states (OH,SD, and TX) to have heard the phrase about "weather changing in a minute" in all of them. It is part of the parochial view of everything people have, I guess- their desire to be unique or different..
