- Tech fans plan to be silent when The Evil Empire enters the field on Saturday night as an intimidation ploy. That would probably work if you could convince tens of thousands of hyped up fans to shut up. Not gonna happen.
- A chat with Decatur guy that came in second on Big Brother. (I didn't read it.)
- The rumor is that the Black Eyed Peas would be the halftime performers at the Super Bowl in Arlington. Big thumbs up.
- Lady says she has acid thrown into her face and becomes a Celebrity Victim. Now she says the injuries were self inflicted, but no one knows why. Uh, weird. (I would be mad at her but she's the one with the acid scarred face.)
- I just had a 12 year old do a rap about Reese's Puffs cereal here at the breakfast table. "You put the milk on em. They taste like chocolate."
- If you didn't know the difference, you'd think Bill White was running as a Republican based on his commercials.
- At 1:00 p.m. in downtown Chico on Saturday there will be a public reading of the Constitution. (Per Update.) The reading of the Bible all the way through is a good idea too until you get to those "begat" passages.
- There was a murder/suicide at Johns Hopkins Hospital and in Lewisville yesterday and in both locations cops sent in a robot to determine if the shooter was dead.
- There sure were a lot of people jump on me yesterday supporting the life without parole sentence for the Deaf Defendant. Hey, the sentence may be justified but can you really have that opinion without knowing the facts of the case?
- The littlest girl in the house exclaimed, "There must be a million news shows on TV." Probably need to throw on the Disney Channel every now and then.
- Speaking of murder/suicide, the shocking final report of the Coppell mayor who shot her daughter and then herself was released. The shooting of the daughter occurred early in the morning, and then the mayor/mother ran errands the rest of the day and didn't kill herself until at least 14 hours later.
- You can ride in a balloon at the Plano Hot Air Balloon Festival this weekend. Cost: $250 per person.
- When I was the DA, I'm proud to say I never texted a victim: "Are you the kind of girl that likes secret contact with an older married elected DA … the riskier the better?” But this guy did.
- Prosecutors always refer to themselves as "wearing the white hat."

Regarding prosecutors and white hats, do defense attorneys see themselves in a different way? Or is it just that prosecutors say it aloud? (And in what kind of conversation would that be appropriate?)
My kind of bowling alley.. But Why even bother with the bathing suits...
Absolutely gut-wrenching to read about the murder-suicide....
Yeah, and when we heard Obummer's campaign commercials you would have thought he was a centrist......
campaigning = lying
Don't listen to the commercials, check the background. Too bad the lame stream media didn't do that with Obummer.
I would have to see a picture of the victim being texted by the DA before I could form a proper opinion of whether or not he is creepy and unprofessional.

Of course, they didn't HAVE texting when you were DA!
The half-time acts that have played the Super Bowl the last few years have been over-hyped and over-the-hill, mostly. But the Black Eyed Peas, in my opinion, is/are a big bag of nothin'. (Apologies to the Bag of Nothing website)
I can understand not being mad at someone who throws acid into their own face. But it's hard to have any sympathy, either. And that's after considering the pain she must be feeling on the inside. She did something horrible to herself and then tried to blame it on some random stranger. Pathetic!
I'm not one of the folks who jumped on you about the conviction yesterday, but the only fact you need to know is: he was convicted of "continuous sexual assault" of a little girl.
Continuous. Sexual. Assualt. Period.
Was texting (sexting) even in existence when you were DA? I think you're playing with semantics here. Can you truthfully say you never carved that question onto a stone tablet and sent it to a victim? Besides, you were much younger then, and between wives 4 and 5? So, "older married" wouldn't apply, right? Nice try
WEEKEND!
I can't see how anyone in their right mind would like prosecutors. The defense attorney is the one who protects us from the "nazi" government and police who would run smack over the common citizen if not for the defense attorney. I'll take the defense position ANYDAY rather than a holier-than-thou prosecutor.
If there's any group stereotype I hate above all, it's prosecuting attorneys.
How much more of the "facts of the case", than the defendant/predator was CONVICTED of repeatedly sexually molesting a 9-year-old CHILD, does a person need to know to realize that LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE is NOT a harsh sentence.
This should be a fairly simple concept for ANYONE/EVERYONE to comprehend; It is ALWAYS inappropriate for ADULTS to touch CHILDREN in a sexual manner, regardless of the "facts of the case." Anyone who has trouble remembering that concept should, perhaps, write it down or have it tattooed on their forehead and/or palm of their hand.
Oh my lord! It's happened two days in a row now!!
I TOTALLY agree with Mzchief's 9:21 post!!
Good grief, Barry, you're making yourself look like a real idiot by trying to even hint that the life sentence was too harsh. Those people CANNOT be rehabilitated and many of them have stated that fact. Put them away and keep them away from children!!
That jury took less than an hour to come up with his sentence? Doesn't that scream "HE DESERVES THIS" to you?
Facts? He admitted it! Do we have to bring the kids in still dripping wet to convince you?
Have you been to a Doctor to see if you might not have a brain tumor?
How did Charles Manson get access to the Internet in order to post his comments at 9:04?
10:09 there are lots of folks out here who support the rights of the citizen, guilty or not. The State and police will coerce confessions (watch Dateline, 20/20/etc) and do anything they can to prove their case, even if the wrong person is sent to prison. I believe in JUSTICE, and the defense attorneys are the ones who insure that justice is done, not the prosecutor. By the way, my father and my son are both defense attorneys.
Happened to me 50 yrs. ago, I was 9 also. It is a lifetime sentence for the child why should it be anything less for the victim?
Bowling for bras.
I'm 10:48 again. Should have said predator instead of victim. Still get very emotional after all of these years.
BG says: "There sure were a lot of people jump on me yesterday supporting the life without parole sentence for the Deaf Defendant. Hey, the sentence may be justified but can you really have that opinion without knowing the facts of the case?"
MzChief says, "How much more of the "facts of the case", than the defendant/predator was CONVICTED of repeatedly sexually molesting a 9-year-old CHILD, does a person need to know to realize that LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE is NOT a harsh sentence."
I say to all: - Cool your jets! BG is not saying the defendant shouldn't have received life without parole. The keywords from his post are: "...but can you really have that opinion without knowing the facts of the case?"
So, Mzchief, when you are throwing out your retort mixed with details of the victim's age and stating that it was sexual molestation that happened repeatedly....wouldn't details like that fall into the catergory of.....known facts of the case?
If all that you knew was the defendant was deaf and had received a sentence of life without parole and you knew NOTHING else....could you still feel as strongly as you do?
Don't (also) get me wrong, I'm not saying that someone who repeatedly sexually molested a 9 year old doesn't deserve that harsh of a sentence.....
...what I am saying is that I'm not sure that someone who once touched the breast of a 12 year old deserves life without parole.
The punishment should fit the crime, but that isn't the point BG seemed to be making.
The point BG seemed to come across as making is that he doesn't know the actions of the defendant that caused him to receive that sentence. It was hard for him to feel that the defendant deserved that without knowing the facts.
I rarely post comments.
I always enjoy seeing Mzchief's arguments.
I am very often entertained and enlightened by BG.
And technically,.....
to what else Mzchief said:
"Anyone who has trouble remembering that concept should, perhaps, write it down or have it tattooed on their forehead and/or palm of their hand."
It's probably not that the defendant had trouble remembering that concept - it's probably more that the defendant is severly mentally ill on so many levels.
12:12...I enjoy reading Mzchief's comments also but then again, don't most people watch NASCAR waiting for a wreck?
Now all I have to wait for is the "sucks to be you" post with bold letters and CAPS of course.
The girl throwing the ball needs to work on her grip. Bad release.
My Other Brother Darryl channeling the late great Earl Anthony
Child molesters....Shoot em all and let God sort em out!!You bleeding heart liberals ie: using mentally ill, hard life excuses..make me sick!!! He molested ,,more than once ,a 9 yr old girl!! public executions on the square @ noon on Saturday will get rid of a bunch of the problems!!!
I don't think that its a harsh sentence. The 9 year old will live with what was done to her for the rest of her life, so its only fair that the molester be repeatedly sexually molested for the rest of his life in prison.
12:12 - You sure got it bad for MzChief. So bad that you took a hell of a lot of time to show everyone you're a fricken idiot who can't follow a conversation. MzChief got it right and you proved her point. What difference does it make that the child molester is a retard except that there's every expectation that the retard will molest another child. A child molester being a retard is all the more reason to lock him up forever.
Nice touch responding to your own comment at 2:36. You're right, MzChief keeps this blog jumping and people visit the blog just to see what MzChief has to say and watch her draw out dumbasses like you.
9:27...2:36 here. At first I thought you must be Mzchief because it is apparent you were unable to read the 12:12 post. I really couldn't see Mzchief not using bold and CAPS but maybe she could pull that off but when you called me a dumbass instead of "dumbarse", I knew it couldn't be her.
By the way, if you don't know the difference between being seriously mentally ill and being retarded, you truly are an idiot.
I rarely agree with BG but his statement was about not knowing the evidence, not whether life without parole was justified. I would easily give the guy life without parole with a guilty verdict but that would require knowing the facts of the case, wouldn't it? Just because someone is accused or indicted does not make them guilty.
The reason for life without parole for continuous abuse is that it is believed (and I agree) that pedophiles cannot be rehabilitated. No way would I want a person like that back on the streets.
Your stimulus tax dollars at work: Teaching African men to wash
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), spent $823,200 of economic stimulus funds in 2009 on a study by a UCLA research team to teach uncircumcised African men how to wash their genitals after having sex. WHAT A WASTE OF OUR TAX DOLLARS! Now, I would personally appreciate some of that sex stimulating stuff myself..............
She doesn't need to watch her grip, botox did the trick!
