- The Ticket had the Whataburger voiceover/commercial guy on the radio the other day. He admitted he had never eaten a Whataburger. Attaboy.
- It's a amazing that eight people can be gunned down in a work place and it barely gets a mention on the news.
- TV reporter ruins ice sculpture. That's so obviously a bit, how could anyone believe it's real. (Trust me, millions do.)
- Brett Favre is a drama queen. Rumors swirled all over the place about his retirement yesterday, and he could have stopped it all by simply issuing a statement saying it's true, it's false, or I have not made a decision. Instead he sits back so he can be the center of attention.
- And Favre's set to make $13 million this year with reports this morning that he's been offered a raise to $20 million? Sheesh. No way he's retiring.
- The Ticket had a segment today about being laid off and the collateral damage it causes on relationships and self-esteem. A few emails read on the air were enough to make all of us rethink that hateful "why don't you just get a job at McDonalds?" attitude.
- The population of my house has increased by 400%. To say it has "become alive" is an understatement.
- But setting an eight year up with a paint brush and a small section of a wall to paint is not a bad way to spend part of an evening.
- Devon announced this morning that it is printing money again.
- It sounds like the oil well is now finally dead. And it's amazing that that almost all of the oil never made it the shore.
- TCU's head coach had a conference call hijacked by a wise guy blogger yesterday. Funny.
- I've always referred to the Texas Longhorns as the Evil Empire -- a reference to Star Wars. But this weekend on the radio I heard someone refer to the current Big 12 as the equivalent of the old "Eastern Bloc" with Texas serving as the Soviet Union and everyone else being satellite countries. I smiled because Ronald Reagan referred to the Soviet Union as "the Evil Empire" during that time in history.
- Emmitt Smith, who goes into the Hall of Fame this weekend, kept every touchdown ball. Where are they? What is he going to do with them?
- Got to play with an iPad briefly on Monday. Pretty, pretty cool.
- Lohan on the cover of Maxim. Hey, now.
- How to prevent date rape in Dallas according to the new police chief: Women should stop drinking. (If this interests you, you'll probably enjoy this discussion and comments here.)
- A favorite line of The Fan's Greg "The Hammer" Williams: There's nothing more fun, or more irritating, than a drunk woman. (I continue to encourage Ticket Fans to check out 105.3 between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm.)

Is it fair to say that the Obama administration's response to the oil spill has done more damage than the oil spill itself?
The mass shooting in Connecticut yesterday didn't make the news because it was a black on white crime. We were told by Tavis Smiley that all mass shootings were caused by white evangenital christians. Another one swept under the rug.
What do Monkeys usually do with footballs?
8:55, That my friend was funny.
The ice sculpture bit reminds me of something the unfunny Gordon Keith would do.
Why would anybody take serious ANYTHING a blog reporter from The Dallas Observer writes or says. It's a 1/2 step above The Enquirer. It is applicable to life in a 10 block radius around lower Greenville in Dallas.
Ladies, guys want to f*&k. They will take every advantage they can to get into your pants. It is not right, but it is a fact. If a girl gets drunk it makes it that much easier. Patron is liquid panty remover.
What is wrong, as the Chief put it "Having your friends watch you? Your friends should have your back.
Rex should stand outside Frilly's and give the same advise to every woman that walks in the door.

Oh please - white people that think they have it so bad in the good ole US of A are just looking for something to worry about, feel angry about, etc. White people are NOT the downtrodden in this country.
I have a theory (I think I have stated it here before) that some whites are nervous about the fact that in the coming decades that Hispanics will be the majority - not just the combination of all minorities being the majority, but Hispanics will be over 50% of the population. Scared people are doing all kind of crazy things to prevent that - like trying to change the Constitution. Good Grief!
In my theory, the reason some people fear this is because they fear being treated like they have treated Hispanics, or any minority for that matter.
I do not fear that because I have always treated people as people, whatever the race. So I am not worried how I will be treated as a minority - I believe I will be treated as I have treated others. So I'm good.
Get a life and do good things with it - there are opportunities everywhere.
Bat mitzvah??? Really???
Maybe that's why the Rangers are playing so well this year, they are using Jewish bats.
Shalom.

The Ticket had the Whataburger voiceover/commercial guy on the radio the other day. He admitted he had never eaten a Whataburger. Attaboy.--He is missing out, and why give an attaboy to a guy who will take the money to do an ad but doesn't even stand behind the product--sellout if you ask me! Give me an f'ng break!
TV reporter ruins ice sculpture. That's so obviously a bit, how could anyone believe it's real. (Trust me, millions do.)--You really know what "millions" believe? Give me an f'ng break!
Brett Favre is a drama queen.--Maybe, but if it made me 7 million extra dollars I would probably be a drama queen as well. Give me an f'ng break!
The Ticket had a segment today about being laid off and the collateral damage it causes on relationships and self-esteem. --I lost a 75K job in 2007 and went to work on a loading dock making $12 and hour until I could find better job--it took 1-1/2 years. My wife didn't mind, and I was able to suck it up and put my "feelings" aside...also lost 20lbs in the process. I have no use for anyone who would rather whine in an email about self-esteem then suck it up and try. By the way, I think my confidence and self-esteem came out better on the flip side; I think everyone needs to get blown up at least once or twice in their life/career. Why does everyone think they are entitled to be given a great job? Give me an f'ng break!
Got to play with an iPad briefly on Monday. Pretty, pretty cool.--Is it that different than an enlarged iphone? Give me an f'ng break!
8:49 anon not sure if it was intentional or just a spelling error either way I had a good laugh. A definition of exactly what an evangenital is would be great, possible definitions would include a fallen from grace clergy member after his boss had removed his manhood or maybe this is a veiled reference to the date rape portion of the post. Never forget the infamous words of George Carlin especially as it relates to those of us who choose to comment "never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers"
The spelling and grammar police "NOT"
iPad = POS
9:43 - that was FUNNY. I had missed it as I just skimmed over that post.
Thanks for pointing it out.
Freudian slip maybe?
Don't Pirates wear Ipads?

A bat mitzvah is for girls, a bar mitzvah is for boys when they turn 13.
Gabe Kaplin, not Kapler
can't figure out your ref. to the Rangers.
9:31, Never did I say that I felt downtrodden. I was pointing out the hypocrisy of the liberal media that tries to make us feel guilty of America's past. Turn around and you'll find that 20 pounds you lost.
Hey! Stupid Random Thoughts guy @ 9:42:
This blog has a two f'ng breaks per post maximum
If you have such a problem with the random thoughts, maybe you need to take a f'ng break from reading this blog
9:43 - I caught that "evangenital" spelling, too. And the same thing crossed my mind
9:59 -
You're still doing it. Creating something to complain about, fear, be angry about - whatever. Your original post indicated that white people have something to worry about in regard to the "liberal media."
People like you throw around the term "liberal media" as if all the media (TV, magazines, newspapers, etc.) are owned by the same guy and they all get together before they put out the news and decide the slant they are all going to put on all the stories.
There's no guy anywhere saying - "OK Liberal Media, we are all going to cover this story this way." You guys act like there is.
The Connecticut shooting was the lead story on the 2 news broadcasts I watched BTW.
And what about the Killeen shootings? Did you notice that was covered extensively? There are many more examples that belie your original post.
Now what do you want to complain about that is so hard for you, as a white person, living in the USA?
She'd be in good hands if I rear ended her.
Double fake Allstate Customer
10:35, Ever heard of the Journo List? Can you imagine the constant news coverage had this been a white guy that killed all black people. They would be trying to tie him to the "rascist" tea party.
10:06...When did I ever say I had a problem with the random thoughts? I just picked out the ones I disagreed with and posted a smart-azz comment. I really like the random thoughts, even when I disagree with them, maybe even better when I disagree with them. Would you like this blog if everyone always agreed?
fatchk-It's Gabe KaplAn that you are refering to. Gabe Kapler played for the Rangers.
Stupid girl.
Or worst yet,tie him to a bumper at the Jerrell drag races or somethin.
9:58
To Mr. or Ms. Know It All...
I did not say Barry was incorrect with "Bat Mitzvah", now did I?
I related bat to baseball. I related baseball to the Rangers. I related Gabe KAPLER to the Rangers because he is a former Rangers player AND Jewish. At one point in time, and maybe still today, Gabe was the only practicing Jew in Major League Baseball.
It is also Gabe Kaplan, not Kaplin.
So...before you go correcting someone on the facts, you may want to check them yourself.
Class dismissed.
Double Fake Gabe Kotter
1035 - As 1042 mentioned, the JournoList was exactly what you're denying exists -- a cabal of Liberal media types who conspired to coordinate their coverage of news stories to promote their agenda. One tactic suggested was, for times during the Presidential campaign when the heat on Obama became too intense, to pick a random Conservative -- it didn't matter which one -- and accuse him of being a racist. I'll bet that hits pretty close to home, huh?
11:21, Jerrell doesn't have drag races. But Jasper does.
Word, Ever notice how the liberal weenies become silent when you hit them with facts? You really can't blame them though because they probably only get their news from Perky Couric.
I thought the guy's name was Jasper and I forgot that everything blow'd away at Jerrell.
I go to Jasper to see the Drag Racist on Saturday nghts.
12:30...Who wants to see a bunch of
KKK guys wearing dresses?
Not only should women stop drinking, everyone should. That would prevent even more crime.
12:34 A bunch of Gay KKK guys maybe?
Wordkyle -
To borrow from Ronald Reagan -
There you go again -
Using your blog that uses another conservative blog as your source.
But I'll play your game.
Let's say the information on those blogs didn't take anything out of context and everything reported was 100% accurate - that is still a paltry list. It's hardly a widespread conspiracy among all the media to have a liberal slant.
What a joke.
Back to my main point - when white Americans act like they have so much to fear from the media or from whatever is the fear-flavor of the month, they look ridiculous.
We have it pretty great here. Of course there are many problems people face (job loss, poverty, sickness, floods, fires, etc.) but being constantly mistreated because they are white is not one of them.
C'mon. Quit whining.
Why do y'all even feel the need to respond to Turdpile...why?
1:30, You miss the point completely. We do not fear what the media tells us, we just don't like being lied to. There is no fear factor involved. Get a clue.
130 - Let's see...I linked to my blog because I knew (because I wrote it) that's where the info I cited was explained in more detail....The link to the Daily Caller on my blog was because they're the ones who had the series of articles detailing the posts from Journolist. The authenticity of the posts have not been challenged.
Okay, so Liberal journalists colluding to cover stories in a way that promotes their agenda does not in your mind constitute a Liberal "media conspiracy." You're wrong, of course, but that's one of your rights as an American.
As for your rant about whites, the original poster's point was about media coverage (or lack thereof) of a black assailant/white victims crime. Correct or not (I haven't followed the story,) that was his whole point. You're the one who has made an entire discussion -- with yourself -- about white people claiming to be "downtrodden." It's not quite as entertaining as watching a dog chase its own tail, but it's close.
Startlegram website says Cuban-Crane was the highest initial bidder.
In unrelated news a troupe of enraged snow monkeys was seen surrounding Mark Cuban's Porsche at the courthouse.
WK -
Linking to your own blog as a confimation of accuracy is like saying, "It's true because I said so." It may or may not be true but your saying so & backing that up by another conservative blogger is not the greatest proof of accuracy.
But like I said previously, even if it's 100% accurate - that was still a measly list of writers to stand for the dreaded "liberal media." I am not familiar with a lot of people on that list (part of my point), but some of them are known liberals and when they write they are not posing as bringing just the facts, they are interpreting the facts according to their views and biases, just as conservative writers do.....Just like you & I are doing right now, WK ;)
But more to the point of the conversation (that I am apparently having with myself, according to you) let me get this straight -
The original poster for whom you speak (& I assume you do not know) said:
"The mass shooting in Connecticut yesterday didn't make the news because it was a black on white crime."
You said "the original poster's point was about media coverage (or lack thereof) of a black assailant/white victims crime."
The poster above you (2:36) said "we don't like being lied to."
The story certainly DID make the news. I read about it today & yesterday in my paper; I heard about it in 2 newscasts last night.
So is it lying, or is it NOT reporting a story, or is it placement of the story (headline, lead story), or is it the number of times reported, or is it that the big bad liberal media is racist against whites? Exactly what is the issue?
As for Travis Smiley - I really don't think he said what the poster claimed & IF he did, that certainly would have been an opinion & presented as one.
You know you're right about one thing- I am feeling dizzy from going in circles trying to understand the complaint.
I'm always glad to entertain someone, but I've got to finally sign off on this.
But you're most welcome for me entertaining you.
Looks purdy much like you were slapped away from the table that time Wordbile.
417 - You simply misstated what I said about referencing my own blog, so once again you're arguing with your own made-up point.
As for the list of journalists listed, I didn't list them all because, as I said on the blog post that you disparage, there are hundreds of Liberal media people on Journolist. I find it astonishing that shown evidence of the precise thing you deny exists, you go after me, my blog, the Daily Caller, everything but the journalists who actually conspired to shape media coverage in a biased fashion.
4:17, If you would quit chasing your tail. Tavis Smiley did indeed say that. My point is that it would have been a more important story to the liberal media had it been a white on black crime so that they could portray the shooter as a rascist. In the two newscasts that you saw, did they say anything about this being a hate crime? I bet they didn't because it's only a hate crime when a white person commits a crime against a black. School is now out of session. Whew, it sure is tiring trying to school a liberal weenie.
Anyone else notice that our Decatur Eagles are set to make a run in the playoffs again!
I love August!
Not until the turf is installed, got the academics up now the turf will come for sure!
