- I'm not a scary movie fan, but I've heard a lot of good buzz about Paranormal Activity.
- Another reason baseball whips me: I watched the end of the Yankees/Twins game on Sunday night and the Twins changed pitchers four times in the top of the 9th before a run was even scored in the inning. Pitching change = commercial = channel change.
- Cowboy thought: Bobby Carpenter is the sparest of the spares.
- A Wise County man was indicted for cock fighting earlier this year. Whatever happened to that case?
- Sports commentator that beats me down: Joe Avezzano.
- After spending more than two years in jail, this guy was sentenced in Wise County to 19 years in prison last week by agreement.
- There's going to be a Saw VI? How many ways can you torture someone?
- BagOfNothing grabbed some pretty neat pics from U2 last night.
- There's a new "Tim Cole Panel" forming to suggest judicial reform to prevent the conviction of the innocent? That's easy: (1) Don't believe anything the prosecutor says - make him prove it; (2) If you have a doubt about someone's guilt, and that doubt is reasonable to you, don't vote to convict.
- It was Hispanic Week (or something like that) in the NFL this week. To celebrate, the first penalty in last night's game was announced by the ref in Spanish. The crowd booed in response.
- Texas A&M vs Texas Tech will not be on TV next week. Incredible.
- It looks like something is seriously brewing in health care reform. How do I know? The medical insurance companies came out against it yesterday. They've been mysteriously silent up to
know now --- they must be worried.
- "Texas Highway Patrol troopers seize 5,408 pounds of marijuana in fake school bus near Laredo." LaTeeDa. (Pic, by the way.)
- Speaking of, at about 6:00 p.m. yesterday I saw three troopers furiously searching a truck on 287 outside of Decatur. It was a beaten down pickup -- you don't see them search nice cars very often.
- I love the backlash that Rush Limbaugh is receiving in his bid to by the St. Louis Rams. You can't be a shock jock and then expect everyone to ignore the idiotic things you have said.
- Funny moment in the district court yesterday when, after his name was called for docket, an inmate wasn't with his cellmates in the seats. "We'll find him," a jailer said. "We probably accidentally took him back." The Judge Fostel responded, "I hope that's what happened."
- Can someone hook me up with these Yankee tickets? I'm good for it. Promise. Maybe.

Has anyone else been invaded by worms everytime it rains. I have seen hundreds in my driveway for about 2wks now what is that all about?
Lots of spelling issues this morning Barry. Bad day?
grammar lesson for the day: That would be "up till now" ... not "up to know".
Worms everywhere, even in utility room. Let's go fishing.
Well maybe the insurance companies
"KNOW NOW". Agree on the Bobby Carpenter. What a waste of locker space.
I just saw one worm when I woke up. It was really small
U2 really is one of the most important bands of our age if nothing eles they teach us what good music is all about.
-Anyone besides U2 has a chance of being non-sucky.
Some sources will say earthworms will drown due to oversaturation of the ground. This can't be true since they can live for days in an oxygentated water environment (aquarium). Better theories involve: carbon dioxide created by them and other creatures forms carbonic acid, they come out on the rain signal to mate so they won't dry out, they can travel faster and more safely when it's wet above ground to populate new areas.
To Barry...
Just get to Bronx, NY for game #1 of the Championship Series and pick up your tickets for row 8 seats 12 & 13 in the Legends section. The tickets will be at the Will Call window under the name Barron Green. Promise. Maybe.
*;)
Make certain to take plenty of pictures.
U2 concert was fantastic. The natural high enjoying that concert, the stage, & the stadium itself was absolutely worth the money, the traffic hassles, and the sluggishness I am feeling at work today.
One negative comment - How do those people and those small businesses stand the extreme and time-consuming commotion when there is an event?
buy instead of by...the Rams.
There's a simple solution for pitching changes, middle/bottom inning changes: fast-forward the Tivo til you get back to the good stuff
People driving nice vehicles usually steer clear of problems that involve searching said vehicle. Their legal problems usually involve searching computer records...subpoenas, grand juries, etc.
Did you at least give the poor guy on the side of the road a business card?
Rush has just as much right to waste his money on the Rams as anybody else. Besides, he might give ol' Jerry a run for mayor of "Crazy-Ownerville".
If you get caught transporting over 2.5 tons of pot, that makes you a drug dealer. Big Time
And you make it sound as if the DPS did something frivolous. Until (or if ever) the laws are changed to legalize pot, then expect law enforcement to enforce the law.
And wouldn't you lose some business if you didn't have potheads to defend?

One of the reasons insurance companies have been silent about their opposition to the government's scheme to take over and destroy the health insurance of every American is, due in part, because the U.S. government has silenced insurance companies from speaking out by threatening insurance companies.
Months ago Humana Inc., one of the nation's leading insurance providers, sent its customers who are enrolled in Medicare Advantage a simple one-page letter of warning. "If the proposed funding cut levels become law, millions of seniors and disabled individuals could lose many of the important benefits and services that make Medicare Advantage health plans so valuable," it said. The letter suggested two ways customers could "show Congress the importance of Medicare Advantage." Those concerned could "Let your members of Congress know why Medicare Advantage is important to you," and customers were invited to write Humana for more information.
Senator Baucaus and other democrat politicians complained about Humana's letter to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which is the powerful federal agency that administers Medicare, Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program. Big surprise, a warning/threat was promply written and sent to Humana, Inc. stating, "Please be advised that we take this matter very seriously and, based upon the findings of our investigation, will pursue compliance and enforcement actions," by Teresa DeCaro, acting director of the Medicare Drug and Health Plan Contract Administration Group. Just in case you did not know, DeCaro was appointed by DEMOCRATS.
The entire situation sounds a whole lot like something out of the Sopranos or Mexico, Venezuela and any other organization run by a criminal syndicate and NOTHING like what should be going on in the United States of America.

Hey, if someone’s indicted for "cock fighting" what do they charge them with.....being an exhibitionist, assault, or a sex offender?
Should we now ignore all of the idiotic things that Jerry Jones has said?
Worms...nah....it's rollie pollies everywhere inside my house.
It looks like MzChief solved the mystery why insurance companies have been silent about being openly against what the idiot democrats are planning on doing to taxpayers. It's time we all be worried, really worried about what's going on in D.C.
I agree with you in that commercial breaks are a big power down. I like soccer and am glad I get 45 min/half of uninterrupted play.
I saw U2 back in the early 80, in a field in Austin, Austin Meadows I think. It was awesome. They were relevant back then.
I saw them a few years back at the AAC. Meh.
Speaking of worms, I think the girl in the picture has a worm just under her skin on the left side of her abdomen, leading up from the top of her bikini bottom to her left breasticle. Don't worry honey, I am a Dr. and very qualified to check you for worms!
Insurance people make me shudder & I have friends in the industry. The recent proposal by insurance mouthpieces of removing state regulation & allowing you to buy policies across state lines is a straw horse (even my insurance buds admit same). Folks in the biz have always feared strong state regulators, but not the feds. Easier to buy off Washington.
Question: When did the last national insurance company go belly up for non-criminal reasons? Never. Tell you something? License to print money.
My Other Brother Darryl
"Are those real"?
Double Fake Barry Green
Meth cooks don't usually cook in nice cars... but they WILL cook in a p.o.s. pickup. You know the type, Barry... your client base?
Me thinks the lady (mzchief) doth protest to much.
So how much insurance stock do you own?
Anon 9:08, I pray to the Sky Jesus of King James and the flying-carpet providing God of Islam that you never loose your job and have an emergency.
Serious question to all Christians.
WWJD about health care?
Did the courthouse crabs infest Bridgeport?
From the update:
Bridgeport ISD will hold a pubic information meeting tonight
MzChief:
Maybe it is due to the fact that the insurance company lobbyists are failing in their endeavor of lining the pockets of the politicians who are voting "yes" to the reform.
I don't think threats would stop them from being verbal about anything. Their under-the-table politics just aren't working right now and they're pissed off about it because they have always succeeded with $$$!
That is why they have waited til the last minute. I didn't have to refer to or quote from a "SOURCE", it's just called plain old English, common sense and having a brain...it's called "THE TRUTH"!!!
Saw VI ? I didn't see Saw I, I didn't see Saw II, I'didn't see Saw III, I didn't see Saw IV, I didn't see Saw V. Somebody get me off this See Saw Merry-Go-Round.
9:02 - we should ignore Jerry Jones - period. His face pollutes everything it comes in contact with.
The man is just bone ugly.
Cock Fighting? Gays will try anything I guess.
that felony cock fighting was reduced to misdemeanor masturbation
Come on, Mr. Barrister. by vs buy. Where did you go to school?
How do you misplace an inmate? Arent they wearing striped clothes or something? Sounds like courtroom security is top notch.
Interesting interview with a black sports writer.....several things he claims Limbaugh said cannot be substantiated.
Shock jock is one thing, racist is another.
From all the comments being put out its not hard to see who the real racists are.
Shock jock? He is a political commentator. Can you name one idiotic thing he has said?
To anonymous K1p...
You really do not understand how increasing the cost to do business impacts consumers? Businesses do not have a magical money tree that sprouts more money to cover the increased cost of doing business. The cost is passed on to the consumer. The insurance companies are going to continue to make BOAT LOADS of dough because MILLIONS more people will be REQUIRED to purchase insurance. Insurance companies will justify a HUGE increase in premiums due to being required to cover EVERY pre-existing condition.
Most people who have a personal or corporate pension plan owns stock in insurance companies. Since you asked about me personally, I purchased, TRAIN LOADS of AIG in March at $7.13 when AIG was on its way up from a low of approximately $6.60 and you can bet your life I took MAJOR profits when it hit $55. last month. It only made sense to purchase stock in a company the U.S. government had determined was too big to fail and had handed over $182 billion in tax payer money.
You seemingly fail to understand, the cost of insurance is insignificant to me and my family. I am actually SINCERELY concerned for people who pay for their insurance and how much THEY will have to pay in the future. The cost of my health insurance has increased nearly $2,000 in the past year and I keep writting the check. I do not mind paying MY way but I am greatly offended when people expect me to subsidize their unhealthy life styles, having more children then they can afford and making other STUPID personal choices.
You asked the Christians WWJD...I am not Christian but I can assure you, Jesus would not encourage people to put their lives and wellbeing in the hands of government. After all, it was the government that tacked Jesus to two timbers and propped him up on a hill for all the town folk to see what happens to people who oppose government.
The Bible tells us to work for what we have...not slack and rely on those who actually DO work to provide it for us....just read your Bible if you need the answer to what Jesus would do....WORK.
Paranormal Activity looks great, and I've heard good things about it also. I love GhostHunters and all those paranormal shows on SciFi and Travel.
Saw something on the news this am about some health care bill they're voting on today???? Anyone know what it's about?
Oh Mz..please STFU..thank you
So Mzchief is attacked when she points out that the Obama administration tried to intimidate an insurance company for opposing Democrat legislation? That tactic seems familiar. The attackers ignore the pertinent point, that the federal government is officially silencing free speech.The comment about insurance companies "paying off" politicians made me laugh. Does anyone really believe that there's not a payoff from the other side?
Regarding Rush Limbaugh, 99% of the things Liberals accuse him of saying or doing he never said or did. For example, there has never been a shred of evidence showing that he is a racist, or that he has made racist remarks (other than as a parody of something Liberals have said or done.) Liberals simply make stuff up, then shout it loudly and repeatedly hoping that others will believe them.
Aldaco, Ricky Don Martinez Jr, Hispanic Week, Laredo MJ on the bus. What is all this Mexican stuff today? I think Barry is racist. Can't you find some non Hispanic criminals today?
MzC is good. Do not f*ck with the Mz.
To House of R and R @ 9:00...
*OTFLOLHysterically*
I was waiting for one of the dumber tight-arses, who visit the blog, to miss your humour and say something derisive about your very funny comment. Nice to see everyone, thus far, got it.
To anonmous 9:33...
It is not about "lining the pockets of the politicians." See my comment at 11:00 a.m. Trust me, the insurance companies are going to CONTINUE to make TRAIN LOADS of dough regardless of the outcome of ObamaCare.
Sorry about being so late to answer your comment. I honestly was not ignoring you. I merely got busy/side tracked, with work/real life, during my 11:00 a.m comment and I simply forgot to include my response to your 9:33 comment to me.
When the Big Fat Idiot felt it was funny to hang Reveille, Texas A&M mascot, he lost me. http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_101007/content/01125104.guest.htmlt
Yes he does say lots of stupid stuff, when he is not talking about himself. It amazes me people drink his Koolaid all day long, from an ill educated, 3 times divorced, drug addict, entertainer that's sole job is to insult others and talk about himself. Says alot about the state of our nation.
145 - No dogs were actually hanged, and Rush did not advocate hanging dogs. You disagreed with his sense of humor, which is not a failing on the part of either of you. As for the rest of your post, "3 times divorced" and "entertainer" were the only factual comments. Ill educated? Hardly. He lacks a degree, which does not mean uneducated. Drug addict? No more than former drug user Barack Obama (who is still addicted to cigarettes.) You're repeating the same old Liberal canards, false though they're proven to be, created by and for those who have never listened to his show. Don't you get tired of being a stereotype?
For anyone who is unfamiliar with Rush Limbaugh and wants to know more about him, try this interview from the Today Show. That will be better than trusting Liberal information.
I have listened, many times. Everytime he was talking about himself and what people were saying about him. Or once he spent 30 minutes between 20 minutes of commercials insulted Clinton....10 years after the man was in office he was still harping on Clinton. Clinton was his cash cow of course.
So in your opionion buying drugs on the street, illegally is the same to buying smokes at the store...being married and divorced three times gives him the right to be a moral authority.......the man has no family no long term relationship and little view of the real world or an education of ANY KIND other than being a DJ and you think he is a brilliant. The Today show interview did not change my viewpoint but thanks for sharing.
Tsk, tsk. Overstating, maybe? All radio talk shows schedule commecial breaks at roughly 20 minute intervals. There is never 30 minutes between commercials. Although I know it's inaccurate, the rest of your "experience" is simply anecdotal and can't be disproved unless someone listens to the show or himself, can it?
You sidestep Obama's illegal drug use. "A little blow when I could afford it" is how he described it. Comparable to using prescription painkillers, maybe? And "addiction" is the word everyone uses to describe cigarette smoking. So Obama is an addict. Goose and gander.
As for the rest -- let's just say that a blinding light on the road to Damascus probably couldn't change your viewpoint. Ignoring evidence is a sign of a closed mind. No moral judgment there, just a statement of fact.

"WWJD about health care?"
Wherever He went, people were healed because of their faith in Him. The ones that chose not to believe in Him had to depend on the government run by a man who thought he was god to provide their health care.
Some things never change.
433 rocks
"There's going to be a Saw VI? How many ways can you torture someone?"
Umm, how many different topics do you discuss on this blog?
433 & 633, if you or family members get very sick or injured, just pray it away. You don't need regular medical help. Guess neither of you has ever been to a doctor. Guess we do not need government or private health care. Just pray it away..... Well, the cost is less, of course, depending on how much you send to Copeland or give to GFC.
12:24
If you check again, 4:33 was just an attempt to answer 9:19's WWJD question. Apparently you have chosen what you believe in and contrary to popular belief, no Christian is trying to militantly change your mind. In this country so far, you have the freedom of your choice as I have the freedom of mine. Good luck with your healthcare plan, but I chose to stay with my primary Provider and no government of this world can change that.
PS Instead of worrying where I send my money, You, as all Americans should be preparing to budget for all of this FREE healthcare that we can look forward to.
Regarding the post about Rush Limbaugh: Not finding enough ammo in what he actually has said, sports "journalists" are simply attributing false quotes to him. They used Wikipedia as their source. And people are giving credence to these "journailists?"
Gottit 9:48! You will only give up your private health care policy when "they" pry it from your cold, stiff, dead, fingers. And where did you git that I give a rat's ass about how you spend your money. Not worrying about it at all. As Dick Cheney would say.....
Sorry 6:51, but you don't "get it". It is my intent to "render unto Ceasar what is Ceasar's", meaning I am having to prepare the same budget as you are, (that is unless you are one of the 43,000,000 non-contributors that thinks we working people owe this to you) Also the word "dead" is not a concern of mine anymore (I know you won't understand that). And finally, you initiated the subject of where I "send" my money, as per your comment at 12:24and answered at 9:48,not "spend" my money, so either you are having trouble reading my response or have forgotten that your response did seem to show that you have enough of a rodent's posterior concern to bring the subject into the debate in the first place.
Ultimately, I am glad to see that neither one of us is worried about this anymore and it has been my pleasure to have been able to visit with an apparent disciple of Dick Cheney.
For sure, I am not one of the 43 mil you mention. I am with you. President Cheney has a way with quips. Not really a diciple. Do not see the diff between "spending" money, or "sending" money. Your money is gone either way. That is really getting nicky-picky. But thanks for the laugh. Really, you are great. Thanks.
