- The CDC now says that closing schools is not necessary (so reports the New York Times this morning) and that the swine flu is no more severe than seasonal flu. Bottom line: The next time the CDC says the sky is falling, we'll tend not to believe them.
- Decatur ISD officials will meet at 10:00 a.m. this morning to decide whether to extend the school closings. I bet they open them back up --- Decatur ISD has been the most sensible district in this time of double fake crisis.
- How Liberty and Tyranny by Mark Levin, who is the most ridiculous of conservative talk show hosts (hard at 5:00 p.m. on KLIF), is #1 on the New York Times best seller list is beyond me.
- Someone asked me yesterday why I follow/listen to public figures that irritate me to no end (i.e. Sean Hannity, Ann Curry, etc.) I don't know why, but I enjoy getting irritated.
- In the first sentence above, does the period go inside the ")" or out? Or did I need an extra period outside the closing parenthesis?
- The Fox 4 videographer who was inside the collapsing Cowboys' training facility is the same guy (Larry Rodriguez) that sued former Ranger's pitcher Kenny Rogers for "attacking" him before a game. He also sued the Rangers over the incident.
- I had no idea that the Cowboys' staff member had a "severed spine" before I made a comment yesterday that it was premature to say he was "permanently paralyzed." I felt bad about that all day.
- When I look at wedding announcements in the paper, I tend to study the picture and predict whether or not I think they will last.
- I keep hearing rumors of a Wise County school scandal -- but that's all I know.
- I wouldn't watch it anyway, but the NBA is doing itself no favors by starting the Denver/Dallas playoff game at 9:30 p.m. Central Time.
- The S&P 500 is now up for the year. I told you Obama would bring changey change change.
- This opening sentence doesn't make you feel too confident about the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's office: "FORT WORTH — A 66-year-old Houston area man whose death had been ruled the result of a Fort Worth auto accident was determined to be a homicide victim after a Houston funeral home found part of a bullet jacket lodged in the man’s cheek, the Tarrant County medical examiner said."
- Fox 4's Chip Wagner might want to reconsider the sweater vest look.
- Drives me insane: The U.S. Army will pay Stewart-Haas Racing $11.6 million to sponsor Ryan Newman's car for 23 races this season

Would you STOP with where the periods go, already?????? Get yourself a grammar book!
School scandal? um...those happen daily!
Get the book "Eats Shoots and Leaves" for help with common punctuation and grammar mistakes.
WOW!!! Now thats a morning pick me up! I mean if absolutely perfect is your thing. Which mine is. Great job BG.
Larry Rodriguez must be the kinda guy that provokes that type of "attack" behavior in people/buildings. You should look him up and see if he wants to sue that place.
That makes me wonder - Is an EMS siren wailing in the distance the human equivalent of a dog whistle for lawyers?
Make that EVERYBODY who wears a sweater vest should reconsider the sweater vest look!
Except maybe Troy Dungan...he can pull that off - the look, not the sweater
Great Pic! Before you go and get all twisted up about the $11.6, research where the $11.6 comes from. According to sources easily available(if you can trust the net)all that money comes from other sources, not your tax money. Yes I'm a Nascar fan.
The period is in the correct spot. No additional period required.
BG,
since our our newspaper won't tell us, would you get to the bottom of why the little, tiny ol' skatepark here in decatur has been shut down indefinitely?
double fake tony hawk
I don't listen to Mark Levin for the same reason I don't listen to Sean Hannity or Bill O'Reilly -- his voice and personality irritate me. This is no relfection on the substance of what these men say. Levin's book has been touted on all the Conservative talk shows since day one. Having said that, it has legs (five weeks on NYT bestseller list.) Are its sales (as well as those of Ann Coulter's books) generated by people who disagree with what he says?
There is no rumor about a wise county school scandal. arrests have been made and warrants issued. you know this, BG
School Scandal?
Here's a hint..
Bridgeport H.S. Cheerleading!
http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/video?id=3696478
check it out...
Why would you say that Decatur ISD has been the most sensible of the County's districts? Boyd was the last to shut down. Decision wasn't even made until late Sunday evening. You're getting as bad as the messenger BG, it's all about Decatur!
P.S. 8:19...if she were "perfect" then she wouldn't have had to buy those boobs which are clearly not real because no boobs in nature are shaped that way!
Another hint: Arrests made in the
Chico school scandal.
Alvord ISD has undergone a thorough Title IX investigation over some very serious allegations. Results to follow.
A news item yesterday that should make all taxpayers cheer. A large federal grant was approved for the study of alcohol consumption by homosexuals.
A little caramelized ain't she?
Yeah, I don't know how you found me, either, but I love you (not in a creepy stalker way but in a you made me laugh and forget that I wanted to rip my door open and tell the kid next door if he doesn't stop bouncing his basketball outside my door his mother will be removing it from his nether regions).
The pig flu thing is stupid and your period was in the right place.
Somebody should get off the BHS Cheerleading scandal-that's old news!
Usually, implants do not bother me but that one looks more like a bolt-on-boob than an enhancement. She should have spent more on her enhancement because she has a nice body and a pretty face. She has, previously, been featured on Barry's Blog. She is one of the prettiest girls Barry has ever posted and I recognize her belt.
.
People in charge should feel rather sheepish over the swine flu debacle of 2009. If DISD does not close for the rest of the week DISD is going to screw up the fun the kids have planned hanging at the mall, theaters and Wal-Mart.
.
Barry, learn to use the Google for grammar assistance rather than just searching for free porn. This time you lucked out and correctly placed the punctuation.
.
The books written by raging right wingnutz go to #1 because, unlike the loony leftist liberals, right wingnutz actually READ and keep abreast of the shenanigans going on in D.C. Yes, I have read some of the stuff written by the right. If you get past their religious crusade crap and peel away much of the, "we are being victimized" dreck they make excellent points about how the government is out of control and the main stream media is heading the charge dooping the public so the loony leftist liberals can destroy EVERYTHING that enabled the U.S. to become the great nation it is, currently.
.
Keep in mind, the U.S. become the wealthiest, strongest and greatest nation NOT being a nanny state, NOT imitating European nations and NOT allowing government to control the lives, choices and behaviour of the citizens.
.
(Stepping off my soapbox)
I do believe this lass has had some work done.
8:51, Decatur would ultimately be considered more reasonable in their actions. Decatur shut down for 2 days pending further results on several confirmed Type A flu cases. Boyd shut down after sending out a letter Friday May 1 stating that there has been NO flu cases reported whatsoever. I guess some people would find shutting down a school with no flu cases reasonable, I'm not one of them.
Regarding the swine flu closures - I think everyone should step back a little and try and put yourself in the shoes of the administrators of the school districts. If they don't close the schools and numerous students get sick and the flu spreads, they are considered idiots or worse, because they didn't close the schools, if they do close the schools to protect all the students, and nothing happens, they are considered idiots are worse for closing them. They are damned if they do and damned if they don't, so wouldn't it be better to err on the safe side?
the chico scandal is for real. seniors were arrested for having sex with freshman (underage) minors. fact, not rumor..i feel sorry for the boys, my how things have changed.
Would you feel better if the Army spent that $11.6M with Sterling/Cooper Advertising?
Levin is on WBAP, not KLIF.
9:31 WOW
You were the dog if u were a senior and slept with a freshman/freshmen (u can spell that either way)
Is this the scandal u r refering 2 Barry
Is that the real reason CHICO closed
Augmentation issues aside, may I please compliment the photographer for their skillful use of light to draw the viewer's eye to the main subject of the composition.
Double Fake Joe Duty
She looks related to Micheal Jackson if you ask me. Ewww
msmaureen, that is SO what my first thought was. My second thought was whether she was really female or not.
BG-The reason you have to post pictures like that is because your little squirrely butt could NEVER get someone that looks like her, btw good body....ugggly face!
9:29 As of Friday, May 1st there were no suspected cases. I guess the swine flu takes the weekend off? I suppose you are the one to whom the possible swine flu victims must report?
Our School got a call from a Caryn Dunn that was rude and very unprofessional....We also got a call from a Dr. Leaton that says he is the Wise County Health Department. Funny thing: WISE COUNTY HAS NO HEALTH DEPARTMENT!! When questioned, Leaton would not call us back, and had RUDE Caryn Dunn respond to us via fax.....WE were told we had to close our school at the order of Dr. Leaton. What authority does Leaton have and why. The County Judge has been called and we (our ISD) is awaiting his call back...
and which ISD would this be, 10:21?
Oh my gosh! Would you people just shut up! This is ridiculous!
Dont read it if you dont like it 10:39
Could it be the Chico Scandal? One Senior guy arrested and held for 100,000 dollars bond for aggravated sexual assault.
Only one bullet lodged in his chest, heck the other day my dentist found a shotgun casing lodged in one of my molars.
Great Pick-Me Up - please take the rest of the day off.
Happy Sinco! Don't drink the water or hug the pigs!
Juan in Jackson
Decatur school district sux - no tax base - just a bunch of ag-exempted land for a property tax base.
Two comments; when is senior boys sleeping with freshman girls news? Been happenin forever; makes me sick that they make a big deal over everything these days instead of letting kids be kids.
Second comment: posted girl is skanky; looks like a carrier for lots of STDs.
Generalizations can be wrong. Mchief is wrong. I am a liberal. I read Mark Davis, George Will, subscribe to two newspapers and two news magazines.
I read. I don't surrender my mind to anyone.
It is my conclusion that the US is a better nation when it is acting just slightly left of center. Emphasis on the slightly.
Perhaps the most entertaining part of keeping abreast of the news is watching the affluent (aka: MChief)
howl the sky is falling when they and I know the deck is still stacked in their favor.......they own the politicians of both flavors, they can hide their money off shore, the 16k tax code is a collection of loopholes written especially for them and so on and so on. Yet they cry.
1144 - One question: How do you define "slightly left of center?" The term center is a moving target, depending on where someone stands politically. I'm really interested to know how you define it. What government policies fit your perfect criteria? This is not an opening to an argument, I am honestly interested in how you came to form your opinion.
Funny story..two years ago i was at the Colonial and Larry Rodriguez was there and we kept running into the same group following a Golfer...I turned to the guy that was w/ me and said, hey isnt that the camera man that sued Kenny Rogers in a very low Jim Nance Golfers voice..All of a sudden Mini Me runs up to me and goes YES IT'S me and I don't appreciate...we just started laughing and my Buddy said, hey dousche stand up when were talking to you...he is a complete little Doushe Bag and yes he will sue...
Isn't there a 4-year rule or something along those lines that prevents an 18 year old from being arrested for banging a 17 year-old?
It looks like Wise County schools have more than one scandal going on lately! I'm a teacher myself and a little shocked by what I've read here today.
EMSISD has yet to close and probably won't with today's info......
12:05
After a few Colonial rita, bet you just thought you were using the low voice.
Lay off my camera man or I will treat you like one of my kids.

12:07, I believe there is, however, freshmen are seldom 17.
This should not be a law enforcement matter unless there WAS rape - not to say I think the Seniors were doing the right thing, it's just not a crime unless the girl really said no.
Just threw out ages as an example, so, seniors are 18, freshmen are older than 14 (assuming a 4-year rule), right?
Agree with your assessment of it not being a law enforcement matter.
12:38 What if that were your freshman daughter? Many seniors are 18 and legally a adult!
If that girl fell on those things, she'd break her rib bones. Look as hard as rocks.
Ugly.
12:57 I would hope that my daughter, freshman or not, would have more respect for herself than that. Boys, for as long as they have been on earth, will get it where it's offered. The girls have to respect themselves enough to say no thanks I'll wait.
My ex always told me I had the perfect body and said he hated fake boobs. He's now living with someone who has fake boobs. That tells me he was either lying or didn't want to pay for augmentation, probably both. It's obvious from your comments that men don't give a flying fig if they're real or not as long as they're there.
Maybe I should take some of the money I got from the divorce and buy me some.
10:21, what school are you with?
Is that Michael Jackson?
There is no "four year rule"--it is an affirmative defense if the "actor" is less than three years older than the "victim". This is where it gets problematic--one day older and it's a felony offense that you may have to register as a sex offender if you are committed--one day younger and its not even an offense! This is where prosecutors have to be extremely sensitive to the facts and the persons involved.
To edit my comment that there is a three year affirmative defense--this only applies if it was consensual--obviously does NOT apply if it was forced.
Hey 12:57, freshmen girls have been saying "yes" for decades, then denying it to their parents. Wake up and smell the coffee; teenagers are sexual, and it's not just the fault of those mean old "adult" boys.
12:08: to the teacher who's shocked...I'm shocked that a teacher would be shocked by anything going on in the schools. Do you teach kindergarten?
Just maybe those Chico boys should start looking for cougars and leave the kittens alone.
Skanky in the extreme.
The US Army paying anyone $11 million tax dollars for any race car is ludicrous. Those millions of dollars should go the injured soldiers and the injured families by the Army deploying these patriots in silly civil wars. Actually paying motor playboys to run in a circle wasting the same petroleum that caused the war is abominable.
Don't know about a scandal however I have heard that one school board candidate has enough time on his hands to be in the AD's office for several hours every afternoon. Don't think I will have for this man.
Hmmm....boys will be boys. Is that what I'm reading here? Tell me it aint so!!!!
The pick looks like a mannequin. Look at her hands.
Sorry, my previous post at 4:05 meant to say don't think I will have time to vote for this man.
4:21
Are you talking about Bridgeport?
Just Curious???
"Decatur ISD has been the most sensible district in this time of double fake crisis."
Granbury ISD didn't "shut ‘er down" for a day even. We don't have no school scandals neither.
Just unsolved double homicides.
I think I've seen "her" at the wax museum.
Gallon of Wesson oil.....$3.95
A room at the Greystone Inn....$49.95
The best 2 minutes of your life.....Priceless!!!
Double Fake Dr. Feelgood
barry if you want to see lots of future mrs greens then go to rockin rodeo in denton on thursday..plus the band playin will sing lawyers guns and money..what else could be better..
To the few who had negative things to say on the random post:print it and lay it beside who you sleep with.Bet they don't look like the same species.If they don't come off with their clothes,they are real enough for me.
4:03 that money is from the recruiting advertising budget. They didn't take anything away from wounded vets or their families.
If they didn't spend it with NASCAR, they would have spent it with ABC, NBC, FOX or CBS on 30 second spots. Now, they will double their exposure thru marketing and still get national exposure on TV.
The Good People of Alvord...Stop to think about this for one minute....If a would be school board member has time to spend most every afternoon in the AD's office why do we need him on the school board? One he is preventing a school employee from doing their job. Two he obviously has other agenda's (personal) at hand. Three that is a total waste of taxpayer money!!!!! WAKE UP and look at what is going on around you!!!!!!!!
OR 941, it still could have been spent where it could be the most use, wounded vets or their families. Don't make a conny damn where the money was from. You are SFOS.
Rush Limbaugh's voice is so soothing and comforting. His voice sounds like it comes straight from God. That is where his talent is on loan from, so Rush claims. That is why God pays him 58 or so million dollars a year to speak soothingly to his and His flock.
12:12 - hell would be having to listen to that blowhard in the pulpit every Sunday, and having Ann Coulter directing the choir.
I guess you can dream, can't you 9:30 pm. I seriously doubt you have anything that looks like that lying next to you at night.
for 10:39..Or the good people of Alvord could elect someone who has only lived in the district for a couple of years and stated they have an agenda...oh wait that has already happened.
I would like to squeeze all two of her cheeks.
Yep, that's what I'd do.
Not sure where Alvord is heading....???
Alvoid is heading for the business end of my bulldozer if you people don't straighten up.
Wow,
We just heard the funniest thing. Marion, the Alvord blow hard, is going around showing people who support Kevin Wood a 2005 set of board minutes where Kevin, had made a speech in open forum about his concern for high taxes and as the minutes say “substandard education.”
What Mr. blowhard doesn’t tell you is that the full speech was in support of funding a better science program, and that the sentence in the minutes was taken out of context. This speech was read prior to Kevin being elected to the school board, indicating his concern has always been to use the community's tax dollars to better educate the students of AISD.
Now here is the funny part. Trice took the minutes and wrote what he knew might hurt Kevin in the 06 election. It didn’t work, Kevin was elected. Now Marion obtains the minutes that Trice wrote to try to deceive the public into believing that Kevin does not support the teachers.
Do you see the pattern?
When Marion comes up to you with line of lies, ask him why he received a barn off of the middle school land for free, when the school had already been offered money to purchase it. Ask him why he and his family received a family pass, when they are not employees of the school. See what kind of lies he can come up with. The fact is he was and still is in bed with the devil.
A vote for those that Marion supports is a vote for Trice and the rumor and deception that he supported.
Don’t be fooled!
Vote for Kevin and John!
Wow, I know that this blog gets tired of hearing about Alvord and it's drama. Anyone know of a blog that just voices the concerns of the Alvord community?
IT's ALVOID
12:57
Start one up.
1:41...I want my son to have the same respect for himself as I hope my daughter carries in the same regard. The promiscuity of guys is no less excusable than the gals. I hope, if you have children, you don't expect less of your son than you would your daughter.
