Random Monday Morning Thoughts

  • I now sneeze into my sleeve.
  • If the local news stations had been fully staffed on Christmas Eve, the Blizzard Of 2009 would have given rise to around-the-clock coverage like we've never seen
  • There are still abandoned cars littering 287 above Wichita Falls.
  • I walked my jogging trail during the "blizzard." Uh, snow blowing sideways can hurt you. But I'd do it again in a New York minute.
  • 40 degrees, sunny, with no wind feels 40 degrees different that 32, cloudy, with high winds.
  • Snow and ice should melt when the temperature gets above 32 but it doesn't. At least not in the shade. I don't know why.
  • Craziness: You can broadcast live video and audio from your cell phone on Ustream.
  • I want the Cowboy's Roy Williams to do the "hook 'em horns" sign every time he drops a pass.
  • There's a round bale of hay at a gas station on FM 407 with a big sign above it that says, "I Got My Obama Bale Out."
  • I recorded the monologue for Lopez Tonight (with George Lopez.) Worst. Show. Ever. (When you make Kirstie Alley fat jokes and Bill Clinton jokes in 2009, you are not familiar with the term "topical.")
  • With all the cash in the U.S. being transferred electronically, I wonder if that currency printing plant in north Fort Worth is slowing down.
  • Strangers are nicer on Christmas Eve. (I had a lady start talking to me in a Target parking lot.)
  • Verdict on Inglorious Basterds: Very good but not great. But Brad Pitt's Tennessee accent is pretty funny: "We have a word for that in English. It's called suspicious."
  • The death of four people that ended up in a pond in Southlake on Saturday is simply tragic and weird.
  • College football note: That Urban Meyer retire-unretire story over the weekend smells fishy.
  • Dallas Cowboy Keith Brooking is a great football player and looks as dumb as a box of rocks.
  • Speaking of dumb, my prediction of the Cowboys going 1-4 down the stretch is now officially wrong.
  • Snow tomorrow?
  • Channel 8 has video of a mobile home fire in Wise County from this morning?

Wait, nothing on the attempted bombing of the flight to Detroit? Is it because it was on Obama's watch and that is hush hush or it was Detroit and well, who really cares about Detroit?

Check out photos on WCM Update. Really great. They need to do more of that.

The enemy evolves, adjust. We too must react. Be careful about blaming anyone as that same enemy will evolve and attempt things for the next president. It is the future.

I flew that same route the first day airports opened after 9/11. It was tortuous,,,,,checkpoints every so many feet, pat downs, luggage checks. To say that the Amerstamdam airport was a zoo is to be polite............yet No One, Not One complaint did I ever hear.

Let's hope that is the future.

Snow has interesting physical properties of insulation, reflection, etc. that sometimes make it stick around longer than one would expect.

I hope everyone enjoyed their White Christmas. We might be heading toward an ice age. I have seen some 3 foot deep snow drifts on our rural roads.

Prices on EU carbon credits are falling.

A British court has identified eleven inaccuracies in Al Gore’s "An Inconvenient Truth" and placed restrictions on showing it in public schools there.

Yep, haven't noticed any "Power-up Obama" comments lately. Hopefully people are finally seeing the light and realize he's an idiot. The one good thing about the guy being President is that it's brought to light all the shadey deals and corruption in Washington. Of course, he didn't discover it, he's part of it. I'm still asking the question; how can Washington pass a health care bill 60% of Americans disagree with when those elected are supposed to be in office to look out for our best interest and why did they exempt themselves from the health care bill if it's so great? Still waiting on a response... And for those of you who voted for Obama and the other idiots and now feel bad about your choice, don't worry we all make mistakes but we learn from them.

Your comment regarding Brooking is pretty judgmental and severe. I think before you interpretations such as this one you should compare your bank statement with his...then let's see who is dumber!

Go Brooking..You are a real asset to the Cowboys!

As far as the Roy Williams comment regarding the "hook 'em horns" sign..if every longhorn alumni player in the NFL would flash the "hook 'em horns" sign on every good play the make, you would see it in every game every Sunday!!! LMAO!

Hook 'em Horns!!!!

Roy Williams - a waist of money.

Brooking reminds me of ROCKY 1-4.

Slow day @ WFAA - Four departments watch a trailer go away. We have got to start using those $300,000 to $800,000 trucks, come on men.

Waist of money? Is that like ass of steele?

"I now sneeze into my sleeve". All that come in contact with you thank you but just wish you wouldn't wait to be courteous of others because the government showed you how. Come on Skippy, think for yourself. Tomorrow they are going to show you how to brush your teeth.

The Cowboys sure seem to be excited about beating a team that has a bunch of starters out and then a team that has already quit on the year.

The currency plant is going full steam. The U.S. also contracts to print paper money for other nations...a little known fact.
