Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts

  • Don't forget to sign up for the Liberally Lean Not Double Fake NCAA Tourney Challenge. And I've got a couple of proposals for a pretty big gift certificate for the winner. Developing . . .
  • If you like chatroulette humor, you'll love this: Piano Improv Guy. (Occasional language warning.) Very funny.
  • Of the many things David Beckham and I share in common, we've now got another one: Torn Achilles.
  • Hearing rumors of an alleged sexual assault by a juvenile who might be connected to local public officials in the western part of the county.
  • Heard Mark Cuban spoke at a tech panel at SXSW and was insufferable. No surprise there. I've never liked that guy.
  • If Madonna were young today, she'd trick herself up like Lady GaGa.
  • While you were sleeping: A 4.4 earthquake shook Southern California. I bet that state sees the "big one" sometime in the next 20 years.
  • It's defeating when you don't know how to spell a word, give it a shot so you can see optional spellings in spell-check, but you did such a poor job that even that doesn't help you out.
  • The hottest girls from each of the teams making the NCAA Women's Basketball Tourney.
  • Another jogging death: Guy gets killed while running on a beach in Hilton Head when a plane makes an emergency landing.
  • I got my Census form yesterday with the ominous warning on the letter: "Your response is required by law."
  • A job I would not want: Census worker. You want to spend you day knocking on strange doors?
  • A young Decatur guy ran into former Tech coach Mike Leach in Key West yesterday. I saw the pic and am trying to get permission to reprint it.
  • Freak Spring Break Accidents: A 13 year old girl from Coppell is brain dead after a skiing accident in Colorado while another Coppell student is hurt in a hiking accident in Arkansas that killed two others.

The census asks about those living at the residence April 1, 2010, yet they want it sent in as soon as possible. Do I wait until April 2, or send it now, although I don't really know the answers until April 1?

Way to go out on a limb there with the "...sometime in the next 20 years" earthquake prediction, Nostradamus. Care to narrow that down to about, oh...December of 2012, just to hedge your bet?

Meghan Gardler, and Aleksandra Dobranic as an alternate, for the women's tourney hotts

Something else you have in common with Beckham (and the rest of the country): you'll miss the upcoming soccer season. But he'll be the only one lamenting that loss

Is today's random pic gal (main) a refugee from another recent random pic? I feel like I'm having deja vu all over again

I've always wondered if you didn't know how to spell a word, how were you to look it up in the dictionary or spell-check?

In light of the recent publicity, throughout the past few years, regarding brain injuries and deaths, due to skiing accidents/falls, I am amazed by the number of people who STILL ski without a helmet. However, I am equally amazed by the number of adults and children who ride bicycles sans helmet.

I dont even know why we bother filling out the census....a "brazillion" illegals will not fill it out, so true representation will not be established anyway.

Shouldn't the word Abbreviation be a shorter word?

I was laughing at the census commercials. They made it sound like you should fill it out to be a good person, always neglecting to state that you HAVE to participate or a fine is possible.

A tip for spelling a word that you can't find in the dictionary - think of another word with a similar meaning and look it up in the thesaurus. Your word will likely be listed among the synonyms.

We fill out the Census so the illegals can have more money & benefits. Now does that make sense? You would hope it would be for us citizens. What a shame.

Since my mother was born in Canada can I put Canadian American as my race? I do not think that it is right to have only "white". How about yellow, brown, and black as well?

Noticed that the Hottie from OU is the younger sister of (Big) Ben Roethlisberger of the Steelers. Dad played @ GA Tech. Think the gene pool in that family has anything to do with success in athletics?

Note to census workers: when it's pouring down rain outside, don't hang the little white bag (with an open top) on a fence in the rain!!!! Certainly makes me question the validity of the census when a worker is such an ignoramous!

Hmmm, I've been hearing those rumors for a long time.

1. Todays Hottie is exactly that....HOT!!!!!!!! Way to go B.G....stay off the booze

2. The Census is a joke. The tax payers will wind up eating all the benefits fot the illegals.
Question for an attorney......if we were to renounce our U.S. citizenship and remain in the country illegally, can we get all the benefits the other illegals are getting?
Just aa thought.

3. Saw on the news last night where there are 12,000 illegals in Texas collegs who are getting grants to attend our schools. It's a shame we have to pay tuition and they get it free.

How much more of this country is the Gov't. willing to give away? It's pathetic.
We have to work for all the benefits they get free; housing, medical,legal, food...etc...etc.....

they have all the rights and we, in our own country, are restricted.

When is enough enough?

Let me get this straight......

we're trying to pass a health care plan written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it,

passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it,

to be signed by a president that also hasn't read it and who smokes,

with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes,

all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a
country that's broke.

What the hell could possibly go wrong????

12:04, you need to send that to every media outlet you can think of and then to all of our senators and representatives...then, finally, to our "President"...SIMPLY BRILLIANT.

Shouldn't all you god fearing illegal alien hating neocons be out arm wrestling satan or something?

One of the more unfortunate things about our country is that you never really hear about the capable sorts who spend their time getting things done. The clueless spend most of their time whining and get most of the pub.

FAIL - very few black women are attractive, and the "nappy headed - (check with Imus for the exact word) basketball players aren't among those.

Didn't someone get into trouble for saying something about the womens' basketball team at Rutgers.....well.....

12:04 is NOT very brilliant. He or she COMPLETELY overlooks the real culprits. Add a last passage something like this: "and all who are voted into office or appointed by people who are voted into office and allowed to stay there by...the AMERICAN PEOPLE.

I don't know about their basketball team but they used to have a hottie of a cheerleader. I hear she's a dentist now.
