- Most interesting national news: (3) Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison calls a news conference today -- I bet she's staying, (2) There's been a big change to student loans - in a good way -- buried in the health care bill, (1) A college student goes to sleep by his hotel pool in Cancun on Spring Break and is found in a coma and nearly beaten to death later that night.
- The local news (3) A Keller two year old drowned in his family's pool, (2) Some lady was hit in the Chico High School parking lot yesterday and transported by ambulance -- and I don't think it was a kid that hit her, and (1) there was a pretty big wreck yesterday at 380 and business 380 out by the Sheriff's Office - a pretty dangerous area.
- I may try the above format for a bit to change things up a little.
- But did you see the parents of the drowned Keller kid on TV? The child died on Sunday and they are giving interviews on Tuesday -- something I could never do. And there was just something very weird about them.
- Brad Sham had a great quote yesterday about the impending implosion of Texas Stadium and its current state: "There comes a time when the frame is just a frame and the spirit has left."
- If you're a talk radio fan, prepare yourself: Sean Hannity is on a new book tour and hawking it every day. Why write a book? "To start the taking back of America," he says which is code for "Make a boatload of cash off the Kool-Aid drinkers that follow me."[Edit: And if he says it all goes to "charity", uh, not so fast my friend.]
- Fox 4 Good Day's Lauren Przybyl just doesn't do it for me.
- I'm about 70% through with my Bataan Death March book. I knew that piece of history would be bad, but the horrors are indescribable.
- It's the 15th Anniversary of the murder of Selena today and, admit it, if you're white you had no idea who she was back then. But I remember realizing how large the Hispanic population was by the number of back windshields I saw with "We'll Miss You, Selena!" scribbled in shoe polish.
- Yesterday a couple of guys and I reminisced about the old Sunday night Dallas' Sportitorium wrestling show . It was must see TV as kid.
- The Dallas Morning News weather blog (yes, they have one) asked this question yesterday: "Where were you when it hit 80 degrees yesterday and 'the streak' ended?" Sheesh.
- Just think if there had been a runoff between Kay Bailey and Rick Perry -- we would being bombarded with their ads right now.
- Edit: I keep forgetting to mention the death on Monday of Decatur lawyer Kendall Hill who was in horrible shape ever since being in this place crash last year.

what nothing Kendall Hill is that the guy that was in the plane crash?
I'm white and I knew who Selena was before she was murdered.
Dang, look at all the locks on that girls door.. Must be bad neighborhood....
Swimming pools and two year olds without a fence is like letting your kid play unattended next to a busy highway! Something bad is going to happen.
Indescribable?
So what do they say in the book about the horrors that helps you understand they are undescribable?
I am so confused!
Ok, I gotta ask where this girl in the pic lives...is it in a ultra high crime area or what?
The door has a bar on it for pete's sake...
Dude!
The girl in the picture needs a little security on her door.
She must be a county commissioner and worried about attacks in the middle of the night!
Poor Child!
Just look at the girl, I would say she lives in Hookerville.
Those were good times, BG.

You are so right. Makes you wonder how folks that ignorant can earn enough money to afford a house and pool in Keller.
There are always good things to spend money on -- new roads, broadband for everybody, more student loans, etc. But at what point do you simply have to say, "we don't have the money?"
Oh wait maybe that was Hooterville.
Right on about Lauren Przybyl. A lot of nothing.
Back to your corner, Chief.
Busted, huh barrister?
When I was in high school, used to go to the Northside Coliseum in FW and the Sportatorium in Dallas and see those guys live. Wahoo, Spoiler, Crusher Stasiak, Fritz, Frank Monty and the Alaskan, Red Basteen, and many more. Those were good times.
I'm pretty sure I heard Hannity say the other day that all the proceeds of his book are going to a charity of some sort. He was a guest on Levine's show Monday night, that's where I heard that.
You are too quick to make assumptions. I watched Selena on the Johnny Canales show.
I knew a Selena once.... Drag Queen but very good musician
Geez! That pic looks like something you'd pick up from whispering wheels back in 1989 on low self esteem night!
Why write a book?
code for "Make a boatload of cash off the Kool-Aid drinkers that follow me."
I guess he is doing it for the same reasons your heros (Clinton's; Gore; Obama; Pelosi, etc.) write them for their kool-aid drinkers.
i bet her backdoor remains in the unlocked, canine position
I saw Selena at the State Fair of Texas in 1994 (shortly before her murder). I didn't know who she was but the crowd was huge!
Yeah, you might want to rethink Hannity's motives, and your unfounded accusation.
All of his portion of the proceeds, all of that dirty old greedy money, is going to fund scholarships for the kids of dead soldiers.
Feel better about yourself now?
barron, same old song and dance..
if you dont agree with me, then u drank koolaid. you're not very smart. you're redneck. you're stupid. your're uneducated . you're country/city. you're different color. you're from different country. different religion. blah blah blah blah.
tolerance is no more prevalant in dems than in repubs.
The old wrestling show on CH 11 was on Saturday night. Didn't they alternate weeks from The Sportatorium and North Side Coliseum?
Double Fake Andre The Giant
hannity will make money off this "book" (rag). more angry conservatives will buy it, get that much more riled up, and watch more of him on TV and listen to him more on the radio - his real bread and butter. writing the book and donating its proceeds to kids with dead soldier dads (an action he made very well-known), is tantamount to advertising and publicity.
he (or any other hacks out there like beck, levine, limbaugh, bennett) aint gonna "take back america" or "rise up" or anything along those lines. if they're so gd smart and have all the answers, why don't they run for fing office? hell no. they'd most certainly lose (ask palin, buchanan)and would take a pay cut.
the reality is: we are not ever ever ever gonna lower the debt, lower deficits, win the wars in iraq or afghanistan, implement a tax system that works and is fair or get the d*mn government out of our lives so any time spent reading, listening, watching or blogging about how our government should work aint gonna do a d*mn bit of good.
Hey 1:00pm
Baby you are talking all kinds of sexy! I like it! Tell me more, because you are so right. D*mn I am turned on!
We would go to wrestling on monday nights at Will Rogers and watch it on Sat. nights to see our self on T.V. like all the other red necks. We all would whear our Q102 shirts so we could pick our selvs out of a crowd !!!!!
RE: Random Girl of the day
I see Barry has graced us with yet another selection from his coffee table picture book "Random Hookers in Cheap Motels". Nice.
Go get some penicillin before it's too late.
2:33 PM Don't remember rasslin' at Will Rogers. My memories of Northside Coliseum.
Hey 1:00
Take your meds!!!!
Northside Coliseum on Monday nights...with Dan Coates, your official time keeper. "Fiiiiiiive Minutes" is what I remember. Broadcast on Saturday night "Main Event Wrestling" on channel 11.
This was in '72-74 when we went, have no idea where it went after Northside Coliseum closed.
1:00 What have you given to help the soldiers or their families? As more people listen to the show and buy the book more money goes to the scholarship. It is a vicious cycle. I can't stand him either but he could do nothing like many in his position on both sides of the politics.
I remember watching "rasslin" every Saturday on Channel 11, and when Kevin Von Erich came to "rassle" at the Bridgeport football stadium, my Daddy took me. I still have my autograph picture of Kevin. Thanks for the trips down memory lane. Now those were good times.
As for the 80 degree question: I was playing golf yesterday when it hit 80...I was playing golf last October when it last hit 80. Any other questions?
Remember way back when Kay Bailey-Hutchinson was going to resign from the Senate to run for governor? Then she had some important votes so put it off. Now that the goofy Republican voters have rejected her for governor, Kay can't decide whether she should resign now - or stay in the Senate that she was so eager to leave just a few months ago. Hypocritical political fluff.
"1) A college student goes to sleep by his hotel pool in Cancun on Spring Break".
We referred to that as "passing out" when I was in college.
DAGO Thank GOD Kay is staying.The hooker looks better than B S.We had a science teacher in Bridgeport that was in the lost batalion.He couldn't stop talking about it.Left here to the F B I.North side,good times beer so hot it would melt the wax on the cup.
True story...
When Bridgeport palyed Lake Dallas one Friday night I made friends with a kid at the concession stand and we hung out for a while. Late in the 3rd quarter someone came running up saying Fritz Von Erich was at the concession stand. I told my new friend we HAD to go get an autograph. He told me it was no big deal, that was his Dad.
At that moment, Michael (Adkisson) Von Erich became my new bestest friend in the history of ever. I wound up getting a ride home after the game in Fritz's Lincoln.
