Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts


  • I whining kitten is driving me crazy right now. And if you chew through that electrical cord I'll be seeing your skeleton like in a cartoon in a second. 
  • Just saw that a trooper was killed in a crash in Montague County last night. (I check my database and saw that I was in a hearing with him in 2003.) WBAP says it involved avoiding cow and being hit by an 18 wheeler on 287.  Edit: The newspaper in Bowie has some info.
  • Wow. Bleachers collapse at a Brazil race injuring 111. Video. (It's like falling dominoes of people)
  • I live in a house where 75% of its members are giddy over the Glee premiere tonight. What?
  • Is being a 23 year old NFL player who hasn't got on the field for his first two years due to injuries enough to kill yourself? Maybe so for a Denver Bronco yesterday. Good grief. 2010 is the year of the suicide. Edit: I stand corrected. He was placed on injured reserved last year but played a little before getting hurt.
  • Everybody got all excited about In-N-Out burger coming to 7th Street in Fort Worth. Me? Meh. (But that 7th Street development is really cool.)
  • Nine American soldiers died in Afghanistan this morning. Get. Us. Out. 
  • Hey, Tea Party folks: Christine O'Donnell will end up hurting your cause.
  • College football fans: Have you ever seen Crunch Time on ESPNU? Fantastic.
  • Yesterday Lindsay Lohan has a warrant issued for a failed drug test and Paris Hilton admitted to using drugs in open court (photo). What's happened to the women in my life?
  • Sportz: Reggie Bush has a fractured fibula and Jets Braylon Edwards got arrested last night on DWI. Fantasy Football owners panic across the nation. (I'm 2-0 in our Wise County league, by the way.)
  • For most of my life I've been a night owl --- rarely getting to bed before midnight. Over the last year I've made it a point to go to bed before 11:00 and shoot for 10:30.  It's made a world of difference.
  • And one thing I don't suffer from is insomnia. I'm fast asleep within five minutes of my head hitting the pillow. 
  • There's a crazy Twitter virus this morning. I think it's so bad they are shutting down the site. 
  • I may start using the New York Post for the "above the fold" feature  -- it's far more entertaining. (And I figured this one would please the masses.) I'm shocked -- absolutely shocked -- that Fox and Friends had her on this morning.

You sure that it isn't secretly 100%? Come on, you can admit it to us!

I wonder what questions she'll have for Republicans, when her situation worsens under their careful style of government? She'll wish that this was her new reality.

Barry, are you equally shocked that she's on the cover of the New York Post?

I think we will hear more from this black lady. Perhaps she is positioning herself for a future run for the Presidency?........her sour grapes against Obama do not sound so convincing. Me thinks she doth protest too much.....WAY too much.

Wait and see on this lady.

Not impressed!

Hey Tea Baggie folks. Obammy, "Second in line to be President" Joe Biden, Pelosi, Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, William Jefferson, Sheila Jackson Lee, Eddie Bernice Johnson, Harry Reid and Chuck U Schumer will end up hurting your cause.

Saw where In and Out is going in at 7th and Currie. Don't we already have an amazing burger place there called Fred's Texas Cafe? I love In and Out, but how about more towards TCU. Cater to the rich college kids. I do love that 7th street.

Okay now...right wingers...I remember seeing lots of right wingers carrying posters of President Obama dressed as a witch doctor...karma is a B*tch isn't it? Only this time the real truth comes out. Keep up the great work in recruiting your awesome tea brewing candidates...I see she is also being investigated for embezzling her own campaign funds to pay her personal rent and being advised by the RNC and dumbo Palin not to attend any interviews or answer any reporter's questions - and this was before the embezzlment questions and witchcraft video! LMAO!!!!

WOW!

What exactly is the Tea Party "cause?" Different people have different ideas, but in general the Tea Party movement's goals are smaller government, lower spending, and adhering to the Constitution. Would electing a Republican who wants increased spending and bigger government (to make him more "electable") help the "cause?" (Four years of a Democrat Congress have shown they don't think like that.) Electing Republicans is the best chance to achieve those goals, but not every Republican offers the same chance. O'Donnell is better than Castle would have been.

Incidentally, it's important that we remember the Democrats have controlled Congress since 2006. Back then, in this very forum, I named some benchmarks against which the Democrat Congress could be measured (written in 2006, remember):

"* The stock market recently hit historic highs;
* Unemployment recently fell to historic lows;
* No terrorist attacks on American territory in five years;
* An increase in federal tax revenues from "relatively wealthy taxpayers" (according to the New York Times), attributed by analysts to the Bush tax cuts."

So how do four years under a Democrat Congress stack up?

I would think any Obammy supporter with half a brain would agree with this woman that they aren't getting what was promised. They just don't want to admit that they were wrong. It will come.

Love that woman's question, especially the statement of being "exhausted of defending him and his administration". OUCH!

"Afghanistan,Get. Us. Out." Then go get some music. You need to get Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, and Joan Baez to show you how to stop a war.

Here is a song on youtube that ended one war:

"Is being a 23 year old NFL player who hasn't got on the field for his first two years due to injuries..."

McKinley played in eight games in 2009 as a kick returner. He returned seven kicks for a total of 158 yards. He also recorded 3 special teams tackles.

He was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury on December 28, 2009.

9:43 If you're so concerned about O'Donnell toying with witchcraft as a teenager, then I'll bet you were mortified when Hilary Clinton held a seance in the West Wing during Slick Willie's presidency?

9:43 Your side is losing, dude...rapidly! Folks are dropping off that losing band-wagon daily and recognizing they were duped by a slick talking snake-oil charmer.

Two-thirds of my household is giddy about "Glee", too. The other one-third is happy he's going to his dad's and doesn't have to deal with all that singing crap.

I don't even know if I did that math right. I just wanted to sound smart like the whole 75% thing you did.

you folks are sheep. thinking that by voting for a particular person is gonna change things for america. you have been duped.

you could probably click the 2005 link to the right and read some of the old tiredhead republican vs. democrat BS comments that are being submitted today.
