- Phone video of the Texas Rangers sliding on the tarp during a rainout in Baltimore last week. Yeah, it's fun but if I'm the owner - and realizing I'm on the hook for a player's salary regardless of how he gets hurt - I think I'd shut that down.
- Texas Motor Speedway doesn't charge for parking? How much money are they leaving on the table?
- I'm out $29.99 because I couldn't tell the difference between a T-ball baseball bat and a softball bat.
- Donald Trump is absolutely reckless and a cartoon with his crazy birther comments over the past week. He's doing a bit yet news organizations are giving him a forum.
- Along those same lines, I received an email chain letter yesterday proclaiming "Obama admits he wasn't born in America! See the first 30 seconds of this video!" The video is full of misinformation about the issue, but the creator of it (as a joke) edited an Obama speech at the beginning of the clip to set the scene for his mini-documentary. Not surprisingly (in America), the video went viral with those believing Obama's 30 seconds were real.
- Wow: Last week we learned that a 26 year old Arlington native was killed in Afghanistan. Yesterday news broke it was from "friendly fire" but in the most shocking of ways: One of those unmanned drone aircraft/missles killed him. One step closer to robots taking over?
- For you true news junkies: Jonathan Alter leaving Newsweek is not a good omen for the future of news magazines.
- I had to do a plea bargain hearing yesterday where my guy went from being on bond to being incarcerated. I've said it before, that's the worst event for a criminal defense lawyer (with the exception of it happening after a trial.)
- Channel 8 News now has a graphic that says "Instant Live" when they throw it to a reporter on the street. Just when "live" isn't good enough, someone comes along to solve that problem.
- Video of jumbo jet clipping and spinning another smaller jet at JFK airport in New York last night. Pretty amazing.(It's still early when I'm typing this and the video will probably be all over the news today.)
- How would you like to be a defendant in Montgomery County, Texas in an assault case this week and you were truly innocent? Would you like your potential jurors to walk into a courthouse under a banner that reads, "National Crime Victims' Rights Week" courtesy of the district attorney's office? Yep, it's happening.
- Rather quietly, evidence of a serial killer is coming to light in New York . . .

She has a funny look on her face like "O s@#t I am going to catch it." Next frame she has a bloody noes, and I would still give her a 3 out of 5.
Hope watching Trump drives you crazy. Now you'll know what it's like for those of us who don't think Obama is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Isn't it just great watching someone you think is full of crap getting to hit softballs pitched to him by the idiot reporters?
COUGAR ON THE LOOSE!!! NICE!!!
She can catch my football.
TMS should charge for parking and give the proceeds to folks annoyed by the traffic mess that place causes.
This isn't the first time the Rangers have played Slip-n-Slide. They did it once last year during another rainout. I think ownership - especially the new owners - realize that special team chemistry goes a long way toward adding to the W column, and the occasional goofy playtime is part of it. Besides, what's better for sliding drill than actually sliding?
Why don't you try to salvage the baseball bat dilemma by taking the wrong one back and saying "I want to return this and get something else."? Or did you buy your bat on the black market?
Shouldn't every week be "National Crime Victims' Rights Week"?
If the peers on your jury panel are so easily swayed by a banner, you don't stand much of a chance anyway. I've lived in Montgomery County, and I can tell you that the banner is a shrewd move by the DA. Lots of the folks in that county ARE easy to manipulate
"live" isn't good enough -
I predict that "instant live" won't be good enough for very long, either. Expect to see "EXTREME Instant Live" in the near future.
It's Idiocracy, I tells ya!
Triple Fake Burrito Supreme
TMS also lets you bring in your own cooler full of drinks, including beer. That one shocks me more than the free parking.
I couldn't do that. She wears her watch on the wrong wrist and that's just messed up........
Who cares what the Rangers do during a rain delay, they're "WINNING"...!!!
It's not a serial killer it's called the MOB.
They should have "alleged crime victims" rights week.
Apparently, the Rangers' original slide-fest didn't happen last year, but several years ago, according to posters on the link (I'm taking their word for it). But, anyone familiar with my work knows I usually shoot from the hip - without much research. Oh, well!

Re the aircraft clipping: Just like the French to commit inappropriate touching.

PS - Imagine how the passengers in the small commuter plane felt. Better thrill than the Mexican Sombrero ride at Six Flags.

Wonder if yall think she is fat too. I hope not because she is way too skinny!
When a plea is offered, isn't that what usually happened - jail time?
Jumbo jet accident looked like what goes on at Walmart parking lot. They hit and run.
Could you please point out all of the misinformation in the video?
If the plastic is already off that bat, save the trip...they won't take it back.
The unmanned aircraft (computer) did not kill the soldier. It merely fired the round that killed the soldier. The acft. is controlled by someone using a joystick, possibly thousands of miles away. The acft ordinance was triggered by the remote controll operator. He will have to live with that.
All the UAV does is send images back to a control room. HOPEFULLY the operator was watching the situation closely enough to remember which images were the bad guys. In this case, it didn't happen
Any fool who drives to a location to sit and watch traffic deserves to park free.
I agree with Bill Cosby, "Trump is full of it"............With all that money...wouldn't you think he'd do something about that hair? .....he isn't going to run for President, he's going for a bigger following of his reality show! What an ego!
