- National news review:(1) Obama announces he'll be lifting restriction on oil exploration for some coastal areas -- but I don't think "exploration" necessarily means "drilling", (2) A 15 year old in Massachusetts commits suicide possibly due to bullying, and (3) the SeaWorld death autopsy was relased.
- Locally/Texas: (1) A municipal judge gets a felony DWI meaning it's his third or more, (2) the cutest little first grader chokes to death in Denton ISD, and (3) A 13 year old in Joshua commits suicide possibly because of bullying
- Get ready for "bullying" to be the subject of every talk show, newscast, and magazine.
- It's April Fools Day today so be on guard. And Google isn't nearly as clever on this day as it used to be.
- I watched an old episode of Cops last night where six cops were running a sting operation busting people that were buying $5 of weed from an undercover officer. Idiocracy.
- Speedway head Eddie Gossage and KCSC star Terry Dorsey should be ashamed of their stupid "name change" prank.
- I started getting sick yesterday and went to bed at 8:00. But I woke up this morning in a sweat, and I think that's supposed to be a good thing. But I still feel lousy. Man, I value good health.
- I have a recurring dream of one or more of my teeth falling out.
- I saw an NBC 5 news story yesterday about losing weight eating Taco Bell's low fat menu which was absolutely a commercial disguised as a news story.
- Katy Perry was in Cabo yesterday. Hey, now.
- Before this week I had never heard of Erykah Badu. Now I'm sick of her.
- Getting around the Harris County courthouse sounds like a beating.

your Katy Perry link goes to the sea world story.
Bullying is a tough nut to crack! A building has lots of "out of view" places. Teachers are already overloaded without being "watchdogs."
As a former teacher I can tell you the best bet for kid and parents alike is to report everying incident no matter how small and don't relent.
Columbine/current suicides are proof positive of where it can lead.
So the talk shows will likely be on the subject of "bullying"?
How interesting, since they do so much of it themselves.
I watched a "news" story on Ch 5 this weekend about a chain called "Hamburger Girls" that was poorly disguised as an "about Town" story.
That station has lost all journalistic integrity. But they really haven't had any going back to when Mike Snyder was hired, so no big loss.
I was "bullied" for a while when I moved from Bridgeport to Chico. While walking to the Ag Barn one day he sucker punched me in the back of the head and I spun around and knocked him out cold.
No more "bullying" after that.
1. ive had 3 front teeth knocked out.
2. did you see the story about the 15 year old in new jersey i think, sold her 7 year old sister for sex...its on huffingtonpost im pretty sure.
3. and the creepy ocean creature some ocean discoverers pulled out of the water, its huge! that story is on fox news' website.
4. i hate april fools day with a passion.
Pys 101 teaches that dreams where your teeth fall out is an indication of sexual frustration.
Middle chick may be a dude.
Football guru
Gal in middle has a big bulge.
Barry, You can't as a government allow companies to spend millions "exploring" and then turn around and not allow them to drill and make there money back, well if your the government you can do anything but the taxpayers will be on the hook to reimburse the oil companies...
RPM, that is what I tell my kids to do. There is alot of bullying that goes on at school. I tell my kids to report it the first time to the teacher and then beat the heck out of the kid if he does it again. My kids will not get into trouble for standing up for themself as long as they report it first.
If you are sick, you can always go to the Wise Regional ER!!! We can start that whole debate over again.
When is America going to quit falling for this either/or foolishness. Drilling Everywhere is acceptable when it is combined with equal determination to build more reactors, more windmills, synthetic oil, electric cars etc.
And all of the above would be wonderful if we could advance them without corruption, feeding at the government trough aka ethanol!
Want to guess how fair the leasing of these fileds will be?
There is a coach at BMS who is a bigger bully than the students.
I know all there is to know about the Crying Game!
Wish they'd drill more on the lands on which I own the mineral rights! Drill baby drill!
When you have dreams of your teeth falling out, it means you're feeling not very confident about something. I learned that after having that same recurring dream right before I started a new job, both times! Barry, what are you hiding?
Hey Obammy, what happened to just airing up your tires and getting a tune up?
just tell your kids that if they ever get bullied to stalk the bully and sneak up behind them with a baseball bat and start swinging for the fences
Bullying is a problem in schools even in Wise County. Thanks to media like Facebook - you have official record (proof) of documention & hopefully address the issues as they arrise. In the past it was only verbal and hard to prove. I just wish our teachers and administrators would act upon it instead of brusing it under the rug and hoping the issue will go away with time. There needs to be consequences for kids when they harrass other kids on Facebook. We should not have to wait until a parent complains to the school. I think we do not know how to handle these types of situations becuase most adults (teachers/admin.) do not know how to even use facebook. Please stop the cyberbullying - it should be a no brainer.
Why should Gossage and Dorsey be ashamed? If anyone should be ashamed it's the Tarrant County District Clerk, Tom Wilder:(from today's Star-Telegram)"I have a sense of humor, but this just was not funny," Wilder said. "My staff and myself both wasted about three hours today because where you file to change names is in the family law building.
"We couldn't just let all these unbridled film crews into this place where people are standing in lines with their lives falling apart and children all around crying.
"How am I supposed to let all these TV people film this? I have got to be careful about that, and everyone needs to get appropriate permissions to do so. I'm not laughing. Let's put it that way.
"It was just a great inconvenience and, apparently, Mr. Gossage and Mr. Dorsey have a lot of time on their hands so maybe they can help us with our 30,000 cases and the overload we have on a daily basis."
Wilder said he plans to write a letter to Gossage and Dorsey explaining the problems this prank created."
He's probably just pissed that he got a haircut at lunch and went home and put on a fancier tie and then nothing happened.
Nice Pic. I wonder if three's a charm, I would like to find out.
Facebook dialog has a lot of profanity between folks. Is it any wonder few have any respect anymore? Last time the f word appeared on my Facebook, I got into the FACE of the poster. That won't happen again!
The sweet little 7 yr old dying from choking on a PB&J sandwich is absolutely horrible. I cried during the entire story. I can't imagine.
I choked on PB&J as a child and luckily my mom did a fast finger swoop to clear it.
After this story, I may outlaw them in my house. :(
DAGO;Retalation works.If you don't start it you can use any means to stop it.One has to stand up sooner or later.If the principal don't like it your father should bully him.Screw dialog.
Please stop with the "cyberbully" business. Unless someone or someone's parents have the brain capacity of a flea, it is NOT POSSIBLE TO BE BULLIED BY ANYTHING WITH AN ON/OFF SWITCH.
What else should we have teachers responsible for besides teaching? By all means, let's fill up a teacher's laundry list of "things to be responsible for" besides teaching. God forbid that parents should have to be responsible for solving a bully issue.
Good thing that autopsy was performed and confirmed that the the trainer died from injuries inflicted by the killer whale. I mean, sure, when the whale grabbed the trainer in front of hundreds of witnesses, dragged her under the water and bit her, easy to suspect that MIGHT have been the cause of death. But, you just never can be too sure. NOW we know for sure.
My son was bullied by athletes at BMS. withdrew him to go to transfer to another school after the asst. princ. laughed at me! When we showed up to w/d him, the same AP apologized for us having to transfer him! I don't believe that Facebook bullying can be handled by the school since it doesn't happen at the school. My son's incident, however, happened in the locker room! People who find bullying on FB need to contact the authorities, not the schools. Law enforcement should handle contacting the schools when the need arises.
All the people who fell for the Dorsey prank are fools! I called it on Tuesday! Geeze! Anyone who listens to that station has heard their April Fool's gigs for years!
