- Yeah, it's cute, but the Evian "skating babies" commercial doesn't jazz me like it does everyone else. I'm just not a fan of the overly tricked up computer generated video.
- Twice this week, I've driven by down a street in the morning only to see a guy walk out of his house, shirtless, and fire up a cigarette.
- I wonder if other cultures get as freaked out as the U.S. does over "sex crimes."
- I don't think I've ever seen a "victim impact statement" delivered to a defendant after a trial but while the jury was still in the jury box. At least not in Wise County.
- And that legal right of the victim is simply odd: It can only occur after a sentence has been handed down.
- But the defendant yesterday will certainly remember it. Heck, I will.
- The photo of Obama checking out the girl yesterday was pretty funny. Headline winner may go here but our local Fox 4 gave it a good effort.
- College football fans only: ESPN's Big 12 Blog has been counting down to the 25 biggest moments in the conference's history. Good stuff. The only one left to be disclosed is #1, but it has to be UT's Vince Young's scramble on 4th down to win the National Championship.
- The capital murder indictment of Steven York by a Wise County Grand Jury this week kind of flew under the radar. The next big announcement is whether the DA's office will seek the death penalty -- something that hasn't occurred in almost 30 years.
- I think a new Harry Potter movie is coming out. I've never seen any of them nor do I have any desire to.
- Running of the Bulls update: Bulls 1, Humans 0
- Our Congress woman, Kay Granger, visited a Wise County ranch a couple of weeks ago. Yesterday she was hospitalized due to dehydration. Coincidence?
- Movie critic Gary Gogill called the new Bruno movie the most shocking R rated movie he's ever seen. That's saying something.
- 14 of 17 dogs at the Jacksboro animal shelter were euthanized. It's like a puppy holocaust.
- [Post about Steve McNair's killer failing field sobriety tests deleted because even I was bored by it.]
- What temperature do you keep your home thermostat at? Me: 77 in the evening. 74 at night.

82 at night, 78 in the daytime.
The photo implies that Obama was checking out the Brazilian girl (17yo!) Butt, can't fault him for that...Brazilian girls are famous for the bunda
And some are using the video footage to acquit him...nah, he was sneakin' a peek
The gal in today's pic looks like a little dynamo
Did you know that they kill the bulls in bull fights? I thought they just danced around with the bull like the cartoons, but the first (and only) time I saw a bull fight I couldn't believe that they killed the bull.
So the bull that killed this 27 year old, will be dead in a few days too...
77? Holy smokes- I would suffocate. 69 and 72 baby.
yeah 8:45 it's one of those circle of life kind of things
RE thermostat:
82 daytime (no one is home) and 76 to 78 at night (depending on degree of hot flashes).
Come on Barry, thermostat at 77 day and 74 at night? I thought you were responsible and trying to save the planet. You have to support Al Gore and your party with your actions.
Seriously, each of us can help our own power consumption if you want to. If you have east and west facing windows you need to shut these solar heaters down this time of the year. Block the heat/light before it gets in. All those fancy windows are pretty much a scam. What good is raising the R value from 1 to 2 or even to 3? That is little help. Cheap solar screens that prevent the light impacting the glass are your best investment. Here is a little elementary school science project: Hang a thermometer inside your house in front of a east or west window while the sun is striking it near perpendicular, and take a reading. The room temperature away from the window may be 75 degrees but in proximity to the solar heater (window) you will see high readings. Now block the light on the outside of the window to prevent penetration and watch the inside temperature drop.
Some people install the mirrored films to reflect the sun. This is good in the summer but in the winter you will miss a lot of free solar heat.
Kay Granger - to dumb to drink water, but running our country. No wonder we're screwed.
Good gosh - today's pic is either bad photography or a composite. Legs are kinda short for the body........
...and what's with the eyes?
COOL, at 73 any time I'm in the house, down to 72 if I come in hot!
8:45, of COURSE they kill the bull. That's why bullfights are considered brutal!
* Yes! Cultures that value their women and children "get as freaked out as the U.S. does over 'sex crimes.'"
* Obama ogling a young woman's booty is Obama's idea of being a class act.
* Kay Granger has been a dried up political stooge for years and should have been institutionalized years ago.
* I know Star Kinder and she would NEVER leave animals unattended in any conditions much less puppies in killer heat. Star puts in as much time taking care of shelter animals on her "days off" as she does during "work hours."
* The house a/c is set at 70 in the summer when someone is in the house. When we are gone for more than 3 hours the temp is set at 78 and scheduled to go back to 70 within 30 minutes of arrival at the house. The house temp stays a constant 60 degrees in the winter.
Why is it "odd" that the victim can only give their impact statement after the sentencing? Seems like that's sensible since most victim's statements are hate-filled and aimed at wringing sympathy out of everyone present? If we gave the vics a chance to spew out their venom prior to sentencing, wouldn't that potentially influence the sentence? I find the impact statements stupid and ridiculous, but if they help the person to heal, I guess it's worth the emotional blathering. I would be extremely ashamed and disappointed at a daughter who damned someone to hell, and would think she needed some major counseling and possibly a bit of Christian teaching!
72 degrees
Our thermostat: 76 during the day and 74 at night. I'm sorry that we are not helping save the planet in this way but maybe other ways.
BG,
There is only one temp good enough for me, and my house stays that temp year round: 69 ! ! !
The Double Fake John Holmes
If I can remember to turn it up during the day, I will. I should really set the timer thingy on that thingy thing.
And 74-72 at night. It depends on how hot I feel that night.
They did not get the death penalty when James Bennett was shot and killed so why do you think a auto accident will get the death penalty? Is that any more than a shooting in cold blood 30 years ago should get?
Look at me 77 and 74, must be nice to have all that fancy lawyer money and all your conditioned air.
Been to Spain and did the whole running of the bulls thing. I also went to the bullfights too in the evening. Believe me, the score does not end up being Bulls 1, Humans 0.
Well, Barry, (Mr. Liberal), I see you are doing some very heavy handed censoring here on your blog. The last two comments I have made just somehow haven't shown up. I think it strange how you put up topics for our comments, yet you only show those you think "appropriate." And you call yourself a liberal - - a fighter for the rights? You're more controlling than any conservative I've ever met. Hypocrit! Let's just see if this comment appears on your blog.
77 is always much better than 69 because you get 8 more..!
Silicone is always hot.
Butter
948 auto accident my ass
wow..caoch chaney going to iraan to coach..!
9:10
Yeah, those eyes look like she was in Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'
70, yr round
global warming is a fraud. as long as i pay i stay.
I'd like to smear 30 weight motor oil all over Sillycone and discuss life in the Penal Colonies while I drove her home.
9:21
Lots of pain and anger to work through before reaching the ability to forgive. I've NEVER trusted those who seem to easily "forgive" those who have done them horrific wrong-there's a big difference in true "forgivness" and burying the rage in denial. The rage is legitimate and deserved.
76 when I'm home, 83 when I'm not. I also installed a ceiling fan over my bed.
Me...80
Mrs. DF...72
Me...80
Mrs. DF...72
Me...80, and I cover the thermostat is duct tape so Mrs. DF can't turn it down anymore!!!
Resulting temperature in the sleeping chamber that evening...0 degrees, especially on Mrs. DF's side.
Next day, duct tape removed, back to 72.
Double Fake No Scene Control
Alvord has a lot to be happy about! Coach Chaney decided to leave and our good fortune is Iraan's bad luck! Thanks to the sentencing we now have 1 less pervert in town. Now when will we see Mr. Brazile in court?
0948 I am pretty sure the case in Bennett's suspect was his age. The guy guy did get life in prison though.
And that was not an auto "accident" it was an intentional act and last time I checks a 2000 pound car can kill you just as easily as a 22 round.
I wonder if other cultures get as freaked out as the U.S. does over "sex crimes."
Yeah, the Yemenis don't handle it very well either:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/yemen/5765664/Execution-of-Yemeni-child-killer-captured-on-camera.html
9:48 must be a friend or family member of Steven York's, to defend an ignorant ass like him. I hope he gets the death penalty. It would serve him and his family well. I say his family, because they are defending him and saying it's the Bridgeport Police Department's fault that all this happened, per his youngest sister
This summer, I decided to be as energy efficient as possible, since we have a big house. I put power strips in everywhere possible, so I could totally turn off TVs, DVDs, satellite stuff, computer stuff, and totally turned off the AC in the big part of the house when we weren't in there.
Got the electric bill for month before last and it was $62...I was thrilled......the previous year, it was over $200 for the same time period.........then my son who lives on the place told me he saw a Wise County truck out at the power pole and they were checking the meter......seems according to their records, we had a suspicious drop in power usage, so they changed the meter......my hubby called them, told them what we had been doing to save energy, and got a different story than the one my son got from the lineman.......got this month's electric bill and it was almost $200 again.......go figure.
We are the last Wise County Coop customer on the line in Montague County, our well across the road is on Cooke County Coop........our house power sucks. We get surges and brownouts all the time, and I have expensive battery backups on all the computers and important electronics to protect them. Our neighbors up the road on Cooke County are doing fine when we are sitting here without power......I wish we had Cooke County Coop power at the house.
I wonder if York's sentence will be much worse than the sexual assault sentence...
Plea for 20?
Obama looks like he'd be only too happy to tap the ASSets of the 17-year old in the picture.
Re the movie review:
I did not get Borat at all, so I am not planning to see Bruno. Does that make me a curmudgeon? Oh well. Guess that is why the largest portion of my DVD library revolves around John Wayne and Robert Mitchum. Ahhh, Hatari and Home from the Hill - a true double feature.
My Other Brother Darryl
80 daytime
78 night
Random Thought--
Let's do a roll back. Pick a time and we will go back in history and do away with all the government laws and regulations that have been put in place since that point. Yep, those from the city, state and federal governments. We will just wipe them from the books and have a do-over. Now the question is what date should we pick?
I keep my thermostat set to 80 all the time. If I cut it down lower it makes it harder to adjust to the heat outside.
TMI on that picture.
Checking out the girl is the only thing Obama has done that I understand.
Obama was thinking as he looked at that chick: "Daaaaaamn....back that bumper up and lemme smack that monkey!!!!
Obama checking out ass. You can take the nigger out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the nigger. What would the media do if they caught Bush doing the same.
During the day nobodies home,I set my nights for 69 which makes me happy.
funny that Alvord does not show any opening for head coach or AD there on their web page. Didn't Chaney resign a few weeks ago? shouldn't that opening be posted publicly?
um, who is Mr. Brazile?
73 before bed
77/78 during the day with ceiling fans on
77 inside today at 1 pm, 102 on my porch. We are entering an ice age. Of the record high temperatures for the 50 States, 17 highs were set after WWII, the others (a majority) were set prior to the war. 1936 was a very hot year. Seymour, Texas reached 120 on August 12, 1936. Global warming is a fraud.
10:59 Double Fake
That was funny.
I have to say that I side with Ms. DF on that one.
I have a fantasy that Double Fake poster is always the same guy; I'm probably wrong though.
But if it is true, he is one funny, well-rounded, smart guy that I have a bit of a crush on.
No harm meant Ms. DF, it's just an e-crush.
"um, who is Mr. Brazile?"
http://www.wcmessenger.com/update/update_content/EkEyAAEAEEIjEJzzsh.php
Hey BG have you seen the WC Update Chaney is leaving he is to turn his papers in Tuesday that's if Iraan is still going to take him during their Monday District meeting..
We keep the thermostat set on 70 all year. It maintains the temp between 65-70.
1:22
You can have him!!!
Double Fake Mrs. DF
People - The meeting this morning did not say where Mr. Chaney was going or in what position he would serve. 12:52 - He HAS NOT turned in a resignation. You can't believe everything the WC update says. - SO at this point - it's no better than spectulation and sorry - but BAD reporting! Please drop it for everyone's sake!
Hey 3:31 we can hope can't we? I honestly don't know what Iraan can see in him to want him as an AD but oh well. I would tell Chaney that he will be moving to West Texas and they do take their football very seriously out that way and he might want to brush up on his rules and coaching abilities.
Okay, I've waited all damn day for someone to say something about the camel toe in the photo... or am I mistake...
Blind Melon Chitlin
3:31
NOT bad reporting-the Update says the Chaney's resignation is EXPECTED on Tuesday
"The photo of Obama checking out the girl yesterday was pretty funny." This reminds me of the post from the other day of a woman giving an excuse for being fat: "I can tell you why women become "fatter" after marriage If you men had any idea how women have to deal with "hitters" constantly! Even after marriage they don't care if you have a ring, they just care if you look good) they come sniffin' around looking for bootie." I guess that what Obama is doing in the photo staring at a girl young enough to be his daughter, sniffin' around for bootie. You liberals can find some low life ones. Reminds me of Clinton.
Denney...
Sorry to tell you now, this late in life....but yes. You were a mistake.
Damn trojan...
Double Fake Daddy Crane
yes denny i've mentioned it 3 or 4 times butt bg won't post any of them..how the f did you get away wif it..??
Obama was not checking her out. You get pics taken of you in public at 30 frames per second and you'll be surprised how misleading one frame can appear.
re: today's girl.... that camel could hold some water.....
Well, if Bruno is more shocking than an R-rated movie in which a 12 year old violently jams a crucifix up into herself while vomiting and shouting that Jesus is effing her....it must be some movie.
Denney Crane, that happened back around lunchtime...12:11 to be exact. You waited all damn day for nothing.
Never mind...
I would lick her toes
Do they have athletics in Iraan?
I would think with all the fighting going on over there no one would want to coach over there.
8:53 is correct. That one frame is very misleading. I saw the whole thing on some video and President Obama was actually starting to give his hand gentlemanly to the woman behind him as she was going down the steps.
4:09
Yep, bad reporting. Iraan, yes, AD - not hardly. Get the facts right before you put them in the update. Who you been talking to? THE ALVORD INQUIRER?
Video proves President Obama being a gentleman, not gawking at girl.
This clearly demonstrates how easily led right-wing nuts are. If it something you want to be true, you swallow hook, line and sinker. Never giving it any critical thought.
This non-thinking mentality brought us 8 yrs of GW Bush, wars, torture, economic disaster, Katrina/Fema disaster, etc.
the story over the animal control officer couldnt be more wrong star loves animals and would not put any animal down that she could save by adopting out or getting into a rescue program. i wish other aco's would work as hard as she has
i think the news needs to look into the city over paying some of its directors over in jacksboro i hope that council gets rid of those who are making the city look bad and i feel sorry for the taxpayers inthat town
Bush did more than look at that tatoo on the tennis player at the olympics, Obama is cool,get over it.
10:17 - Seriously?
