If I'm an OU fan, can I get hotel reservations for the Army game just announced for September 26, 2020? Yep, 2020. - Had lots of people email the news yesterday that the DA in Tarrant County Judge Elizabeth Berry's DWI case had dismissed it. There's a lot of blame to pass around, but the public will simply see it as a corrupt system regardless of whether it is.
- I bought my first copy ever of ESPN The Magazine because it had a feature story on Baylor's allegedly on-the-rise football team. (And we might want to tap the brakes on that.)
- The older you get, the better you get at Jeopardy. But I'm still not very good.
- Rupert Murdoch, the CEO of News Corp. (including Fox News and the Wall Street Journal) says that charging viewers for the company's internet sites is inevitable. I balked at first, but isn't it amazing that Internet content is 99% free?
- Be honest: The first time you ever heard of email, weren't you surprised it was free?
- To be a well treated dog would be a very good life.
- Our DA's office has decided to divide up the caseload by nature of the offense between four prosecutors. (i.e. one will handle sexual offenses, one will handle property crimes, etc.) One guy was assigned all drug cases. That guy got screwed. Edit: The list.
- Watched a little bit of Toddlers and Tiaras on TLC last night (a show about little girls being forced into beauty pageants by crazy moms.) So. Disturbing.
- I've decided to eat at a cafeteria (Luby's, etc.). It'll be like a childhood flashback.
- Traffic mess this morning: All of northbound I-35 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas was completely shut down during the 6 o'clock hour. I think it's six lanes through there. Edit: Pics.
- The guy that shot up the exercise gym in Pittsburgh left an online diary telling everyone he was going to do it. He didn't like women too much.
- Back to the freed journalists from North Korea, it's amazing what you can accomplish when you are willing to talk with a country as opposed to simply calling them part of an "Axis of Evil."
- The Wise County jury would have given the Failure To Register defendant less than two years in prison if they could have.
- I'm looking at an indictment from Jack County right now. The date of the offense is May 23, 2009. The grand jury indicted him on June 5, 2009. That has to be a record. And a scary record.

Yesterdays comments about the freed journalist was fascinating. I would encourage both sides (left and right) to read all the comments and decide which group has the best interest of the county. Those that slam the journalist for crossing over into another country have forgotten what journalist do….they bring information… they don’t sit on the newsroom sets at MSNBC or FOX and just talk about their biased opinions.
I guess calling them unruly teenagers started this ball rolling. I hope you truly do not believe just showing up to talk acoomplished this. Then again if we would have just sat with Sadam, Bin Laden and maybe even Hitler all would be well.
Barry, you well know nothing has been accomplished by having meaningless meetings with worn out non policy makers and staged conversations with North Korea for instance. We are weak now, with a clueless community organizer in charge. Our lack of any foreign policy may just be labeled "kowtow".
So 'ol wise one, you are actually saying that North Korea's repressive government and horrible human's rights record is not evil?
Just askin?
"I personally believe...that US Americans...journalists and such as...can't locate foreign countries like Korea or Asia on a map...because we don't provide them with maps and don't um, educate other countries, Iraq and Afghanistan such as...children... educate...future!"
"Thank you, Miss South Carolina."
Back ground picture is nice today.
So what kind of cases is the DA himself going to handle?
On December 21 2012 I will use my real name...If I can.
I think one would have to be pretty naive not to understand that treating a "mad dog" like N. Korea with kindness is not the catalyst which produced the release of the journalists. You can bet that N. Korea was given something it wanted---perhaps even money---to free those journalists. All those who know anything about American diplomacy know that we negotiate with our checkbook and some very expensive "shiny" beads and blankets. I give Bill Clinton the credit for making the trip and using his communication skills for a smooth release---but let's face it---the money, beads and blankets were offered and accepted before the trip was made.
I'm glad those journalists are back safely. And I'm glad they were freed without the threat of global thermonuclear war.
I agree that diplomacy is better than violence or threats any day.
Is it a coincidence that this feel-good story "took place" right after the Gates debacle?
I guess Obama needed a bounce so the administration choreographed this to perfection. It's not like they couldn't have done it a month ago.
Don't you just hate politics?
I would lick her toes
Barry, I cannot watch Toddlers and Tiaras. It makes my teeth hurt to see children forced to channel their parents' dreams for fame and fortune. Really disturbing. Think CPS should always have a seat at the judging table, just to observe.

There is a VAST difference in negotiating for the release of two 1/2 arsed journalists from North Korea and negotiating and getting North Korea to give up their nukes.
There have been ongoing negotiations known as Six Party Talks with North Korea for the past 8 years. Keep in mind, it was during Clinton's administration that North Korea was provided all manner of money, food and prestige while being permitted to develop a nuclear program.
Barry's UNINFORMED comments on the North Korea situation merely proves that Barry is willing to eagerly toss his handful of BS into the pile of BS being built by other Lunatic Leftist Liberals.
Meet your New District Attorney..... Kevin Henry!
Greg is just to busy for all those darn drug cases!
Welcome back Mzchief...But,I have to say,you're a TARD no matter what.
To anonymous 9:39...
Thank you. I am coming around to your way of thinking about the whole "Tard" thing. Any intelligent person who consistently reads the dreck Barry throws out and then posts a comment on The Blog with the halfwits and racists who comment on The Blog has to be, at some level, a "Tard."
wow.. the online diary of that dude is CRAZY.. crazy situation
Dang it, I was getting all fired up over Barry's North Korea comments, already had my response mapped out in my mind, only to find out about three others beat me to it.
On the freed journalists – as usual Jon Stewart covers all the points in this story – slams Clinton – slams the media – slams the Neocons/Fox news - http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-august-5-2009/william-jefferson-airplane
Let's cut the DA some slack. It appears that he will be handling all the cases involving drunk, rowdy public officials using substandard vehicles to take cougars to the river to pee.
" it's amazing what you can accomplish when you are willing to talk with a country as opposed to simply calling them part of an "Axis of Evil."
So true, look at World War II for example.
Shut up mxchief
Kevin Henry is awesome. I want to carry his babies.
Today's girl is beautiful. I would hit it. Maybe not, I could end up on the sexual offender list. I would have to see proof of age first.
Early 20's with a 16 year old. Thank God everybody didn't get caught for that offense. If so, the DA wouldn"t have time for pity drug cases. I would have let him walk if the sex was consensual.
Hey didn't you people get the memo...North Korea, Iran, Cuba, and Venezuela are now the good guys. Israel is the bad guy. Geez...keep up.
Barry, no comment on Squeaky Fromme being released from the Fed Prison in Fort Worth? Serious nut case & she is walking the streets again. If he wasn't already dead, Gerald Ford would be bolting the windows right about now.

Well we are denying Mexico 100 mil in drug fighting aid because they can't prove they are doing enough to protect the human rights of the narcos they are at war with.
Meanwhile we gave Hamas 200 mil so they can continue to mount a genocidal campaign against the ONLY free democratic country in the Middle East (Israel). Oh , and so they could continue gigging tunnels instead of growing food.
The Prez and the whole bunch of "can't we all just get along" libs have got it wrong. Only this time we won't realize it til it's too late.
You women get your burahs ironed and your veils cleaned and pressed. Sharia coming to a democracy near you!
"...when you are willing to talk with a country as opposed to simply calling them part of an 'Axis of Evil.'"
You now get the "LLLDQ Dumbest Statement of the Day" award.
Congrats. You suck.
That of course would be digging, not gigging tunnels and burkhas, not burahs.
And while I'm at it:
The Muslims, since they are just gonna treat women like chit anyway, should not make them walk three steps behind men but rather kneel in front. Just seems more utilitarian
Half baked guy who proofreads his stuff after it's gone
Barry,
You know that the "Clinton Rescue Mission" was a total set up for him. Kim Jong probably orgasmed all over himself having a former US Prez begging to him as some kind of a supplicant. Kim Jong needs a barb wire wrapped board up the side of his crazy little head. You can't reason with crazy people. He is running around now talking about how weak the US is that they have to send former presidents to him with their hats in their hands begging for mercy. I can't wait for the next election so we can get rid of jughead and idiot joe.
ahh...yet another member of the secret spelling police...
"Back to the freed journalists from North Korea, it's amazing what you can accomplish when you are willing to talk with a country as opposed to simply calling them part of an 'Axis of Evil'."
Prime Minister Neville Chamberlin of England gives you "2 Thumbs Up!"
Clinton took the key to turn the shit on that he let him have while he was in office.I thing he one in the brown sweater is going to upchuck. Who is going to prosecute the cattle rustlers.Dale's cattle ought to have doubled in weight by now.What is wrong with a system that can indite one week and try it the next?NOT A DAMN THING.DAGO
