Random Friday Morning Thoughts



  • Still a big fan of Modern Family. (And I've learned how some shows throw out tons of adult humor which is just subtle enough to go over a 12 year old's head. Barely.) 
  • I'm beginning to like Satellite Radio. (Although the stations I like have commercials.)
  • Two plane crashes overnight: 22 dead in Pakistan, 68 dead in Cuba. (Oh, and add 50 more dead in Pakistan due to a Taliban suicide bomber.) 
  • Even though I'm not a gamer, this Kinect attachment to the Xbox looks fantastic. It works like a Wii, but recognizes your body motion without you having to hold a controller. It even recognizes your face when you walk into a room. 
  • I've yet to turn on my home heater. Tonight may be the night. 
  • I bet Rick Perry is positioning himself as a vice-presidential candidate. Now that makes sense. He'd be perfect to appease the Tea Partiers. 
  • Taylor Swift's new album sells over a million in its first week and, get this, there are 10 songs off the album that are currently in Billboard's Hot 100. That used to be impossible because the record company would  "release" each single one at a time. Now the online public decides which tune is worthy of being a single. 
  • I think I've become compulsive obsessive when it comes to a dirty floor. I'm now a sweeping and vacuuming fool. 
  • The biggest college football game this weekend is TCU/Utah and it's on some channel called CBS College Sports? I so want to discount TCU but what they did to 7-2 Baylor continues to make me shake my head. 
  • Mrs. LL got so mad at the Sprint store that she came home with tears in her eyes last night. I'd never seen that before. (But she got a new phone after everything was said, cried and done.)
  • Unemployment news this morning: The national rate stands at 9.6% but the private sector added 159,000 new jobs (the most in five months). I think this thing is finally turning the corner. 
  • Remember the Fainting Kittens video? Well someone has tricked it up by adding animated laser beams. 
  • Mick Jagger's daughter is hot with the exception of her Mick Jagger mouth. 
  • The crazy girl dancing at Cowboys Stadium that was referenced yesterday? Turns out she is a sophomore at East Carolina University and was in town for the weekend.

A morbid observation: The title of "World's Oldest Person" seems to change hands pretty often.

Last week there were some comments about a local politician that may not live here. Was any of it correct?

"...the private sector added 159,000 new jobs....I think this thing is finally turning the corner" - and only 15 months after the end of the Great Recession! But if, before they vacate their offices in December, the Democrats can create even more uncertainty among business owners (both large and small) about taxes and Obamacare costs/fines, maybe we can keep this 9+ percent unemployment going for another two years!

Why do you think Rick Perry would appease the Tea Partiers? He is farthest from my mind as a Tea Party candidate. That is what you libs keep getting confused on. Just because someone claims to be conservative, does not automatically include them in the tea party movement. We wouldn't have Rick Perry.

My awesome girlfriend and I were talking last night, she thinks Perry may want to run for Prez., then we thought OMG how about a Perry and Palin ticket for 2012 and man we cracked up, but think aboout it, Palin can see Russia from her porch and Perry can see Mexico from his. That's funny stuff right there, but I would probably vote for them.

The title of The World's Oldest Person is one that I have no desire to hold.

How many times are going to predict that the economy and unemployment numbers are turning the corner?

Modern Family and shows like it....I am only 40, but still think sex does not belong on TV shows anytime or anywhere. It not necessary to me for entertainment, but obviously crucial to a liberal agenda to slowly infiltrate the brains of the masses into acceptance of perverts, gays, etc.

That is why my fam watches very little TV.

Rick Perry as VP would appease moderate lib swing voters, maybe. Absolutely NOT a good choice to Tea Partiers.

If you think Perry would be a great candidate for the tea party, then you need to learn something about the tea party.

You are just another liberal who thinks he knows everything.

What is the real rate of unemployment? I keep reading around 17% counting the people with MBAs who are working part time at Walmart because they can't find anything else. Or counting the people without jobs who have stopped looking and are not included in the rate calculations. Do your own research and stop listing to ABC, CBS, CNN etc. (oh, and Barry Green) for your pro Obama news.

Now, here is a good idea on how to create jobs in the construction trades: Send all the illegals back to Mexico. Seems like America's labor unions (and the Democrats who they sleep with) would support this move.

There are plenty of good jobs available if you just look hard enough. I was just hired for a new position and have about 4500people underneath me at work.

I think I can understand your wife's tears. When I get really mad, I cry!! I hate that I do that, because when I am trying to argue my point and the person is a moron, I just lose it - my voice starts shaking, and I start crying (not sobbing, just some tears). Oh, and when I get that mad, my neck turns splotchy red!! Lesson to that - Don't make me mad!!! :)

'just subtle enough to go over a 12 year old's head' -- does she ever question the 2 homosexuals who are 'married' and kiss and all on the show? Surely!

The economy. How can the economy improve while we are bailing out Wall Street and starving Main Street. The dollar is going to tank. The Fed is taking care of the banksters, not the middle class. Why does the Fed continue to give money (0% cost to big banks) while the banks will not lend to small business? And the taxpayers are left holding the bag. That's you and me. Do we really want to pay huge bonuses and huge salaries to the financial sector? The Fed is sucking the American middle class dry.

I'd rather be a conservative nut job than a liberal with no nuts and no job.

"159,000 new jobs, I think this thing is finally turning the corner."

With 10,000 illegals workers crossing the border every day or 300,000 per month that claim of your equates to a net increase in unemployment.

CBSC is Channel 152 on Dish Network - Go Frogs!

GO TCU !!! Wish they could be #1, but money and politics will not allow that to happen so we will probably see Alabama in the Championship game if they win out the rest of the season. Even though they are not undefeated!

First of all,get your facts straight Skippy. The private sector added 151,000 jobs. At this rate of adding jobs, the 12 million people out of work will be back to work in no time, if you consider no time as the year 2050.

I won't be inviting 9:26 to any parties...sounds like a real fun dude (sarcasm). I LOVE Modern family; its' the best show on TV. Protect all those kids from life and they'll go nuts when they get out of that jail you call a home.

Maybe the TEApotters can get Perry on board with their way of thinking.

Protecting my kids from perverted TV and people like you isn't creating a prison at home. It isn't protecting them from life as you put it, either. There are plenty of things that happen in this world everyday that no one can really shelter their kids anymore.

Now go dress up as Daphne.

The reason Perry is not going to make the tea party happy is that a large segment of that group happens to pay attention to what happened on a person's watch, not just what they have to say @ public gatherings. Perry takes advantage of photo ops and open mics to declare his hatred for big government, but on his watch, our state has run up a budget deficit so large neither he nor his staff would even speculate on its size during the campaign. Tea Party folks tend to look at results and Perry's results suck like a Hoover.

Amen to 9:26 AM to standards and morals. These liberal weinees are trying to convince us all this is okay or natural. WRONG! Come on, America, wake up and do the right thing! And Modern Family is NOT common or right!!

3:00...You are just worried about homosexuality becoming too mainstream so you won't have to ever deal with the suppressed confusion you have always had about your own sexuality. This is one of those arguments that only angers those it affects the most, which is anyone who has sexual identity issues.

Joblessness will continue until Americans face the fact that we are no longer a manufacturing economy. Just as we lost our mineral and material export industries, now it's manufacturing. We're now a "services" economy. So unless you can provide some service (locally), your ability to get a job will be difficult. Thinking, inventing and servicing - that's the future.

Thank you 3:00.

3:31's comments to you make absolutley no sense. Just like the mzchief person's comments and poor use of adjectives.

Trying to keep morals and values does not constitute you have hidden homosexual tendencies as they suggest. Mzchief is the flaming liberal who pretends to be conservative at times, which really just proves her to be wrong.

It is no different than the liberal media trying to push an agenda. They are not the majority, but you would never know it due to their suppressive nature of the conservative people.

If mzchief were a true conservative then she wouldnt COMPROMISE her standards and morals for entertainment.
