Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts

  • The "remains of the day" is a cool phrase that is never actually used.
  • There has to be a a great number of people that know beyond a doubt whether Bank of America and Citigroup will survive.
  • Seeing some of the Columbine survivors, now 10 years older and young adults, was pretty inspiring.
  • I had a friend call me on that day and tell me, "You have got to find a TV and watch this."
  • I think this is horrific: 21 fancy polo horses drop dead in Florida.
  • But there are few things more pretentious than polo.
  • I had completely forgotten that tennis legend Monica Seles was stabbed by a fan while playing a match. (She's hawking a new book on TV and radio.)
  • The Boston Marathon was yesterday and I have no idea who won. Let me guess: An Ethiopian?
  • I'm getting serious about driving across the South this summer. (Which is dumb because it'll be the South in the freakin' summer.) But I've actually begun to research this potential disaster.
  • Still one of my pet peeves: The media reporting someone was arrested "on suspicion of [insert crime]." If someone was only arrested on a "suspicion", and nothing more, that case won't be around very long.
  • There is no question in my mind that Sean Hannity spends hours determining what the Right Wing wants to hear and then says it. He's so predictable.
  • Hey, you guys want to see some more posts involving hot girls, religion, teacher sex scandals, sexual orientation and race?
  • Good grief. How much money can be spent on the for/against campaign for the proposed city owned hotel in Dallas?
  • USC Song Girls go swimming. All is right with the world.
  • The more I watch that guy fainting on the Glenn Beck show, the more I laugh. His last word before he goes down is, "Gone." Good times.
  • Good point I read: Fox News throws it's massive power behind promoting the Tea Parties and then calls them "grass roots" when they happen.
  • Ted Nugent wasn't the lead vocalist on "Stranglehold."
  • In the above sentence, is it correct to put the period inside the quotation mark?
  • The famous point which connects four states: Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico is in the wrong place by about two miles. I say "famous" although I've never even remotely thought about going there.
  • A Southlake volleyball coach is caught getting very frisky in a public park. Shouldn't the cops just knock on the door and tell them to move along?
  • My mom used to hang out the laundry on a clothesline. I just love that memory. Do people still do that?
  • It might be a little slow around here today. I'll be in a DWI trial beginning at 8:30 a.m. --- wish me luck (Riiiiiiiiight.) I may try and do some updates on the Twitter thingy.
