- There might be something wrong with the comments making their way to me. Some people say they have to click the submit button twice before they see the "Your comment has been saved" notification.
- Someone write this down to remind me after the November elections: "For more than half a century, the average midterm pickup for the party out of power has been 24 seats [in the House of Representatives.]" That'll be the benchmark.
- The faux hawk haircut is goofy.
- The new mascots for the London
2010 2012 games are creepy. [Edit @ Danny Boy's comment: Ok, that was funny.] - Had a guy ask me yesterday if I had written anything good on "Dairyland." Funny.
- More cops gone bad: Two Dallas officers were arrested last weekend on DWI charges.
- It seems silly that Lake Bridgeport is still closed. Sometimes I think people in authority exercise power simply because they can.
- How bad were the Mavs? They got beat by San Antonio who then got killed by Phoenix who are now getting destroyed by the Lakers.
- I finally subscribed to a private Texas Criminal Lawyers message board. Verdict: I'd be scared to death if I were the client of some of those guys.
- Is the journey between Bridgeport and Boyd a little junkier looking than it used to be?
- Last week had the lowest number of album sales since Nielsen's Soundscan started tracking them in 1991. And I really don't know why "albums" are produced anymore. Why don't artist just release a decent "single" every six months.
- The Byron Nelson golf tournament kicks off today without one of the top 15 players in the world taking part in it. That thing might die one of these days.

I would say check your facts, but after the smackdown yesterday I won't. (Vancouver had the Winter 2010 Olympics, London has the 2012 Summer games.
But hey, I could be wrong .
RE the Random Thoughts pict:
Yes, it all starts with a fun snapshot in your dorm room. Show a little belly. Sure, no harm. Just wait. More to come.

ps - this is why daughters should be locked up until menopause. that's a joke, already.
The closing of Lake Bridgport,power of authority, or just common sence to be causious of others lives. Floating debre,for example. BG, you do the same with your little lawyer buisness. Power makes you stupid.
Much better pic today! But, she needs to sew her britches and fold her clothes.
Thank you for citing the historical record of midterm party-out-of-power pickups. Between giddy Republican punditry and the "anything less than a blowout is a defeat for Republicans" media perspective, it's hard to stay grounded. (And did you really quote Ann Coulter verbatim?)
8:35-
What language are you using?
Pic-
Pretty hot. Wish I could see her face.
girl isnt to shabby. wish pic was a little closer. comments are descent with no great links. i think barry is just in cruise mode today....

You can think Tigger Woods for the Nelson this year. Here's how it works; Tiggers a no-show so not quite the number of fans show up, sponsors drop out due to this and the amount of the winnings (purse) drop, when that happens the number of players allowed in the tournament get cut in order not to have to pay out so much money since most all in the field make something. The biggest problem is sponsorship. When the sponsors back out that's less money for cars to provide to the players, less money for dinners, less money for banquets, less money for dry-cleaning and less money to cover the total cost. It's a shame one sex addict can screw (no pun intended) it up for the entire field. I hope Colonial does better and they probably will because little Tigger never plays that tournament anyway and believe me, he's not missed either.
Money say's todays Random Thought is "HAWT".
i agree with you about the lake closings. so being at conservation level makes all the floating debris sink? that was a stupid comment 8:35 .
TC waterboard always likes to exercise their authority.
How bad are the Mavs? You can't look at it that way, "who lost to who, etc." Example: how bad were the New Orleans Saints in 2009? They lost to Dallas, who lost to Denver, who lost to Washington, who lost to the horrible, horrible Detroit Lions. The Saints were so bad that they won the Super Bowl.
9:56 floating debris sink, what?
leave it to obama to side with anyone, exept america
Pic is backward, look at the shirt. Tarleton?
most mescin politicians are honest. right?
i dont think i want my president aligned with drug lords.
I know one of "bad cops." I have known Rucker for years. Last time I saw him, he landed his DPD helicopter in the lawn of a Dallas Children's Hospital. He was assisting the children through his helicopter and telling them all about being a police helicopter pilot. He has been a solid officer for years. He made a terrible mistake being arrested for DWI. However, I don't know the arrest is evidence enough to say he has "gone bad."
Nothing about the "Draw Mohammed Day" on Facebook today, Barry? I'm working on my drawing but can't decide the best way to depict the 'ol boy in bed with
9 year old girls?
Pic of today's girl is cute, but as a middle aged woman with kids older than this girl, I can't help but wonder if those making comments about her looks are old enough to be her dad? If so, that's a bit disgusting. She's obviously late teens/early twenties. Does it bother anyone else for middle-aged men to ogle girls their own daughters would be running around with????
Yes, your website has been screwed up for a couple of weeks. Many posts haven't gotten through, but am glad the blogger last week found it and alerted the rest of us!
* I am so glad today's, smokin' hawt, Random Thoughts Girl only got her jeans torn up while she was wrestling a grizzly bear. She has the best abs I have seen on ANY chick, EVER.
* I understand why Barry hates Republicans, he reads/listens to that hate-mongering, anti-Semite, skank, mAnn Coulter.
* Any jacked-up hairdo is "goofy."
* I cannot think of an Olympic mascot that was not "creepy." Why do the Olympics need a mascot? I would think, being the Olympics would be enough.
* I am surprised more members of law enforcement do not "go bad." I cannot imagine being a regular human and being subjected to the stress and highs and lows of dealing, day in and day out, with the dredges of society and then being bashed, by the idiots of society, for doing my job differently than they would have done it if they had the courage and character to get off their whiny arses. Next time anyone thinks law enforcement is bad, think how bad life would be WITHOUT law enforcement or someone like me with a taser and gun.
* Based on the junk/redwood tree trunks floating, partially submerged, in Lake Bridgeport, the lake NEEDS to be closed.
* Seriously! Seriously, Barry, you are just now becoming concerned about the representation/screwing some clients receive at the hands of rat bastard lawyers?
* I just bought 20 awesome CDs on Ebay for a total of $22. and converted 123 of the tracks to mp3s for my iTouch. That is a MAJOR score.
* As long as there are high-rollers and cougar wannabes along with skanky sorostitutes who go to Byron Nelson, to flash their trash, the tournament will live a long life. The same can be said for The Colonial tournament, in Ft. Worth.
I don't know the reason(s), but the PGA pros don't attend in force any of the PGA tourneys in Texas.
Did somebody not get the memo explaining that the girl is taking her picture in a mirror, thus the backward image? Oh, there wasn't a memo? I guess the rest of us just figured that out on our own.
And middle-aged guys ogling that gal are no worse than the 30-40 something moms going crazy over the vampire/werewolf movie stars
mzchief - Really? Ann Coulter is satirical, provocative and acerbic, but "hate-monger and anti-Semite?" No and no. (Okay, maybe a little mongering against Liberal Democrats, but they're such easy targets it's hard to resist.) (And a cogent analysis -- by a Jew -- of Coulter's "perfected Jew" comment is here.)
I thought your comment lacked your usual precision.
If a person is sexually mature AND past the legal age of consent, there is nothing wrong with looking. That's human nature. If that photo (or the girl herself) were presented for observation, and a normal red-blooded male DIDN'T look, that would be weird. Men are wired for visual stimuli in that department
It becomes a problem when there's obsession, harassment, or more
To wordkyle...
I do not care how some pandering, Jewish apologist spins, in a failed attempt to excuse, Coulter's anti-Semite rant. Coulter is, without a doubt, an intolerant, hate-mongering shrew who makes a point to appeal to the lowest brow bunch of sleazeballs. I have never been a fan of John Edwards and even enjoy a bit of schadenfreude with regard to his being outed for being a philandering douche but NOTHING excuses Coulter calling Edwards a "fagggot." I found the reaction of the crowd of Republicans equally as disturbing as Coulter's slanderous name calling.
To wordkyle...
Another thought about the vitriolic harridan who has been embraced by the Raging Right WingNUTZ of the Republican party; Coulter's mindless followers seemingly have forgotten Coulter proudly crowed on Hannity and Colmes that she would campaign for Hillary if McCain won the nomination and could have very likely contributed to Obama's win.
mzchief - The "rant" you cite (one overly sensitive interpretation, which counterpoint I cited in my previous comment) is more than offset by her longtime recorded distaste for genuine anti-Semitism (her book Treason among other places) and her defense of Israel. By the way, another good analysis of her remarks, with transcript, is here. In this instance, I think your distaste for Coulter (understandable, even if I may not agree) is coloring your discernment.
11:40 You make a good point. Same with "cougars" ogling young male singers, movie stars, etc. I guess it just seems dirtier because we say how "good looking" the guy is, but seems men's comments are often more sexually implicit, which just seems incestuous/pediphilic to me, but you are probably right! Good insight for me to ponder.
I have had the some problem with post a comment for about the last 30 days............................
1:05. I'm still having it, but have learned what to do. After you click on "publish your comment", be sure the yellow sign appears at the top saying it's accepted and be sure your text entry is GONE from the comment box. It's happened twice to me already today, where I clicked and nothing happened. There's a glitch somewhere, so you have to watch and be sure it goes.
We're all doomed
Wordkill: do you have a day job?
I seen the web site where Barry gets the ramdom pic. at and this one is tame. Barry I would post it but then every one would know where you get them.
I hook it up every day to see if I know any of them from Decatur area.
345 - This is my day job. I'm really Barry Green.
Come on you guys. Just hold your monitor up to a mirror.
There "might be a problem with your website?" Do you think we are making up our frustrations over the past several weeks as to why (and yes, I was one who accused you of major censorship)our comments haven't been showing up? We are not making it up, Barry. There is no question that that IS a problem with your website... no "maybe" 's about it. I don't know how you can get it fixed, but it sure does need fixin'!
