- Odd crew at a party over the weekend: Twitpic of Ice T and his wife, LeeAnn Rimes and hubby, and Pam Anderson.
- Sheesh: Fox News already had Miss USA runner-up Miss Oklahoma on TV this morning to talk about whether her Immigration Law answer "cost her the crown." (But I'll admit she's pretty smart.)
- And co-host Brian Kilmeade, proving he's well rounded, asked, "Whose idea was it for the contestants to wear high heels with bathing suits?" Maybe he was born yesterday.
- The metroplex news coverage of the Lake Bridgeport natural gas spill yesterday was a little bizarre. It happened on Friday afternoon and becomes news on Monday? (I think they all have skeleton crews on weekends.)
- The Messenger Editor appeared at some public hearing yesterday in connection with the Postal Service considering discontinuing Saturday service. Since the paper is still delivered by mail on Saturday, he is concerned.
- New USC coach Lane Kiffin, who has never won anything anywhere, will say tonight on Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel that he is making $4 million a year.
- "BP said Monday that about 20 percent of the oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico is being swallowed up by its insertion tube system and no longer feeding a giant slick off Louisiana." If I had a septic tank running into my neighbor's pool, I don't think he'd be satisfied if I told him I had diverted 20% of it.
- The Ballpark in Arlington looked like a lake 30 minutes before game time last night. And with only a 15 minute delay, it looked absolutely normal and the game was underway.
- I went to the dentist yesterday. I hate going to the dentist.
- NOAA says April was the hottest April since they've been keeping records.
- The parking striping in downtown Bridgeport is really tricked up now.
- Want to know why the University of Texas (and others) would want to leave the Big 12? The most recent numbers indicate that the revenue sharing plan had them earning $10 million in 2007 while Baylor pulled in $7 million. But the schools in the Big 10 make $20 million a year and that number is expected to soar. (Source.)
- Oh my: 87 year old trying to mark one off his Bucket List died on the Texas Motor Speedway track on Saturday.

You do have to wonder about the Miss USA pageant. Two years in a row, they have asked controversial questions and the one that answered them did not win. Just wonder how much that does figure in the final vote.
By the way, I am sure that officials have to approve all questions before they are asked. Why are they allowing such controversial questions to be asked in the first place unless it is for publicity.
As for Brian Kilmeade, I like watching Fox News, but I wish that they would drop him. He tries to hard to be a comedian instead of giving us the news.
Downtown Bridgeport didn't have a problem with parking because there is always plenty of spaces left close to the stores/businesses. What the city needed was signs at the multi-building complex telling you where to go for what you need!
I'm old enough to remember when all the parking places were taken on Saturday night for people going to the movies and shopping! Downtown was the place to be!
Miss Oklahoma was given a loaded question about a hot political topic. Being from the heartland, she was not going to answer any other way! Same thing happened last year and probably will happen again next year. I bet Paula Deen voted for Miss Oklahoma and all the liberals voted for Miss Michigan.
The hispanic asking the question was booed by those in attendance. Good for them.
not bad today barry boy... picture is definitely a good one and the thoughts arent to shabby. good content with a few nice links. good day.
todays grade A-
NOAA Satellite data is measured at 14,000 feet and gets exaggerated relative to surface temperatures during El Niño events. Meanwhile, I still have not needed my air conditioner this year. This is your blog Barry but please stop reporting only information that supports your misinformed Al Gore position.
The NOAA headline is meaningless. They dropped 3/4 of their reporting stations around 1990, mostly ones that reported cooler temperatures. "Hottest April on record" doesn't mean much with such a small statistical sample.
Arizona's immigration law may be saving us all. A congressional report confirmed that members of Hezbollah, and "hundreds" of people from terrorist nations have crossed the Mexican border into the US. It even details the route they take: from the Middle East to South America, where they learn Spanish; through Mexico and into the US. These are known facts -- so why doesn't the federal government do something? They have allowed this to happen, yet condemn Arizona for doing their job. "I don't want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess."
Sure she has a hot upper body, but I know that chick. Her a$$ is 4 foot wide!
Ice T Pic:
What they all have in common is very little talent.
Proceed with caution thru down town Bridgeport. One trip was enough for me.
Nothing about the Bridgeport Chupacabra mascot vote this evening---“Consider Resolution No. 297 declaring the Chupacabra as the official mascot of the city.”?
Nothing about the major wreck in Rhome? Your slippin', man your really slippin'!
If I die at 87 while driving over 100mph in a Corvette at Texas Motor Speedway I would consider myself lucky. Beats hell out of dying in hospital bed of cancer.
I guess they will sue the race track and everybody involve, though the old fart knew the risk. Pathetic!

The Devil,
You're a moron.
Ditto 10:34!
Nice boulders.
How ignorant are the people in Runaway Bay? TODAYS UPDATE: “Consider Resolution No. 297 declaring the Chupacabra as the official mascot of the city.”
your joking right? IT WAS HAIRLESS RACOON U MORONS!
11:35
how ignorant are you?
it's called humor - check it out
Bucket list man was "in perfect health" and his, "parents lived to be 100."
Code for there WILL be a lawsuit.
Did anybody else notice the bruises on the models shoulder? They appeared to be a hand print where someone grabbed her.
9:16
She must have told you to go away.
If I could pull off the high heels/swim suit look, I'd seriously wear it everywhere. Seriously. Okay, not seriously, but I'd wear it a lot. Okay, only to the pool, but I'd go to the pool a lot.
Did anyone ask Daisy Duke whose idea it was when she wore the same exact outfit? Methinks not.
The truth about what a warm April means is at:

Dr. Richard Lindzen of MIT is a very smart scientist and not influenced by Al Gore
I don't know who is responsible for the new striping in downtown Bridgeport but they need to take a drug test. I have reasonable suspicion now.
Only the short-sighted, idiots on the RAB city council would think it is a good idea to have the gnarly, mythical creature, of simple minded folk, who believe the Chupacabra sucks the blood of livestock, be declared the official city mascot.
When are people going to realize, elections have consequences?
