- Yet another accident on the Tollway in Dallas caused by a car going the wrong direction.
- Watched Tropic Thunder over the weekend: Very, very funny. (And I was looking for the Tom Cruise performance since everyone said, "you won't recognize him." He was on screen for five minutes before I recognized him.)
- Wasn't the first internet service provider in Wise County called Webfire? (Yep. And when I signed up with them in the Fall of 1996, they handed me a stack of about three 3 1/2 disks with the Netscape browser on it and told me to go home and install it. And they told me to bring it back after I was done.)
- Good grief: The weather forecast for the week is near 100 each day with little wind?
- Three men alleged to have been involved in a murder in Wichita Falls are stopped on 287 in Wise County on Saturday. From the sound of it, every cop in the county got involved.
- There a handful of college football games at the new Cowboys' Stadium this Fall but there's one twist: The only game where beer won't be served at the general concession stands is Texas Tech v. Baylor per the Baylor contract.
- Not sure if dancing will be allowed.
- I'm distracted by the guy in the background in the above pic.
- I'm still laughing at the "Don't Call Me Liz" post from a couple of days ago. Keith Olbermann did a funny reenactment of the email exchange on his great show on MSNBC. (Skip to the 1:30 mark to avoid the set-up.)
- Why is it that we all cherish life but most of us wouldn't want to go back and do it all again?
- If I ran a movie studio, I'd focus on animated kids' movies. Up, which I'm sure I'll never see, has made $224 million in just four weeks. That's already second place for the year. And can you imagine the number of DVD sales (plus merchandise)?
- Odd death: Southlake teenager dies at the the Omni Hotel swimming pool in downtown Fort Worth.
- From the Turn-Yourself-In-Already-Department: Chancellor Jay Hutcheson, 18, who graduated from Plano West and allegedly sucker punched a UCLA tennis player after a Rascal Flats concert in Dallas over a week ago. The victim remains in a medically induced coma.
- But that's a tough case for the prosecution: A normal misdemeanor assault gets ramped up when the victim falls and hits his head on the concrete causing for more damage than ever expected or intended. (Former TCU player Ryan Tucker ran into the same legal problem after a fight in downtown Fort Worth bar.)
- George Will on the criticism that Obama has not been strong enough to condemn the Iranian fraud of an election: "It seems to me to be foolish criticism. The people on the streets over there know what the American position is."
- Sometimes I feel like I'm posting news links of stuff you've probably already heard of. But as soon as I omit one, I'll get a comment of "I can't believe you didn't mention . . . . "
- A bumper sticker that has outlived its funny factor: "My [son/daughter] and my money go to the University of . . . . "

i love pinapples
nice coconuts & pineapple !!
Too bad about the beer at the Tech v Baptist football game. Guess I'll just pull the JD flask out of my boot. Most Tech fans have one at the ready.
I am not distracted by that guy
a full serving of fruit today:
pineapple AND melons!
If you're distracted by the guy in the background...FOCUS! (In the movie biz, I believe that's called a...rack focus.) *rimshot*
Triple Fake Cecil B. DeMille
I stayed @ the omni last week and had a view of the pool. It was only 4 ft deep. Not ever good when a teen dies though.
George Will is right. Who cares what hapens in Iranian "elections"? Democracy and Islam are not meant to be, an they ain't giving up their religion any time soon, so why force it on them and carry on the American tradition of interventionalism? It's time to stop being the World Police [which was a hilarious movie, by the way] and concentrate on un-screwing ourselves.
We've lived with that stupid regime for years and, honestly, don't we have more important things to worry about at home? Sheesh.
barry, learn that dance that tom cruise does. youll be even more bad ass.
the guy in the background looks like a bad guy on the old power rangers show.
What guy? What background?
Jarhead is right (psychotic, but right. Oops, I'm cross-referencing movies) - Team America: World Police was a hilarious movie! And if you don't believe me I'll put a jihad on you, too!
Oh, and that other stuff was right, as well.
We need to finish up the current policing jobs we're doing now, and stop sticking our collective nose into other countries' business. We've got plenty of questionable, corrupt politicians to straighten out right here, not to mention all the domestic problems we could work on using the foreign aid we dole out. We pumped billions of dollars into Afghanistan in the '80s to keep the Soviets out, and what did we get for that? The Taliban
JarJar, you're growing a heart. I'm so proud of you.
Olbermanns' show on MSNBC is a "great show". Please.
A simple statement from Obama supporting free, honest elections everywhere, reported on by a free media, couldn't hurt and might do some good. Being from Chicago, however, Obama probably didn't see anything wrong with the Iranian elections. (There were more votes cast than there are voters? A typical Chicago precinct result.)
As for Jar's advice about unscrewing ourselves first, that's a great idea, but do you actually think that's what politicians want? With fewer problems, we would need politicians less. (Kind of like saying, with fewer snakes, we would need fewer snake bite kits.) Modern politicans are interested in keeping their jobs, and they can only do that by keeping a problem alive while at the same time convincing the electorate that they are doing something about the problem. (Tobacco industry and sales, for example.)
I'll chime in on the "cherish life" thing. We wouldn't want to have to repeat all the mistakes we made. If I could go back knowing what I know now and likely make better decisions, I might do it.
I still don't know about replay of the teenage years though.
Olbermann's show is the best show on TV. I love the WTF segment at the end of the hour.
I'am sure that because he is a FOOTBALL player he will be allright; just say i'am sorry.After all just like Barry Switzer said (we all know football players are a little more agressive).The greving parents should be proud that a possible star f-----d their son up.DAGO
I watched Tropic Thunder yesterday. As soon as I heard Tom Cruise's voice, I knew it was him. Thing is, I didn't know he was supposed to be in the movie at all. Have to say, his dance moves at the end of the movie were quite lacking.
Not sure I understand the correlation between cherishing life and repeating it. If we did it again, seems that would cheapen it, especially if you could use that giant bottle of White-Out on your mistakes (old-timer's reference - look it up, kids). Besides, if we got a do-over, wouldn't that make us all...Hindu or something?
Thank you, come again!
I was wondering who Olbermann's viewer is.
Should of stuck with ESPN.

You may want to alert your clients in Wise County who are using Off The Air antennas to receive KTVT CBS 11 that they are broadcasting in 480i on 21.2!
These random thoughts can be a real beating. Maybe you shouldn't divulge them all at once. Do these thoughts go through your mind all at the same time? Does information churn so fast in your brain that you have to get it all out in order to try and maintain some sanity? Is it cathartic for you? Or are you just bored? Pretty sure the alcohol industry isn't suffering, what's up?
1:17..I cannot receive CBS 11 using that blessed converter box. If I re-scan can I receive 4801 21.2? This is digital TV is a joke!
Get cable, or Dish or something!
2:42 PM YES, RESCAN!!!
Over The Air analysis at: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=90
Thanks 3:08. The times they are hard, can no longer afford dish, had to revert back to the roof antenna.
Quit being a cheapskate and buy flatscreen.
Barry, of course there were alot of Officers involved in the take down of those murdering bastards(allegedly). Surely your not recommending that one officer attempt to stop three individuals who are armed and dangerous.All suspects were taken into custody without incident. Greay job guys!!!
I wouldn't go back to the teen years again even with the knowledge I have today. I wouldn't make the same mistakes, but I would still make mistakes, and they would be all over youtube, sent via cell phone, and appear on Myspace and Facebook. No thanks...
