- The Mississippi River is rising and some are predicting the state of Mississippi is about to see the greatest flood in its history. Talk about a story that's been buried because of other news.
- It was National Day of Prayer yesterday. I actually saw a group of about six people observing it on the courthouse lawn but that's about it.
- I'll find out more on this: A 17 year old Jack County kid was charged with "offensive touching" (a Class C misdemeanor -- the equivalent of a traffic ticket) of a 15 year old on a school bus. Now the County Attorney and a prominent* Jacksboro lawyer are battling in a JP court.
- The price of oil dropped 10% yesterday. I'm sure that's just the natural result *cough* of supply and demand.
- The texture of food has never factored in to what I will or will not eat.
- The sound of a drawer off of its grooves and grinding against the frame as it is pulled out drives me insane.
- I wonder if those Japanese nuclear reactors are still leaking.
- It's hard to get any news on the Granbury double murder trial going on, but it doesn't seem like a particularly strong case. (Latest update which has a reference to First Financial Bank.)
- Economy news this morning: The unemployment rate ticked back up to 9%. (Someone will tell me that will be a bigger factor for Obama's re-election chances than Bin Laden, and I'll probably have to concede that point.)
- I should have recorded it, but Steve Eager read a Viewer's Voice email on Fox 4 News last night, seemed confused, read it again, and then proclaimed, "I don't understand that." I didn't either.
- The last time the Lakers played the Mavs in the playoffs was in 1988. I got to go to Game Four for free when my secretary, on the day of the game, walked into my office and asked me if I wanted tickets. (And I thought things like that would happen all the time for the rest of my life. Nope.)
- If the Navy doesn't use the Bin Laden capture as a recruiting tool, they are idiots at marketing.
- The SEALs used dogs in the raid? Wow. And they had titanium teeth at a cost of $2,000 a piece? Well, that report yesterday was not true.
- That 9/11 Ceremony was a little weak yesterday.

Yet another example of why there is such a distain for defense attorneys.
Granbury double murder case. There's hardly any news about the case, but it doesn't look like a strong case? How would you know if you don't have any information on it?
Pavlovian Defense Attorney 101. In response to a charge (1) immediately deny that a crime was committed, (2) if a crime was committed, make up a BS excuse about the defendant's childhold to negate culpability, and (3) find a way to blame the victim for everything that happened.
It's a standard trained response. Sit, Oboo, Sit, good dog.
As to the Mississippi flood--funny how really big news items can get buried by current events.
On December 21 2012 we will all be sorry...I promise.
A class C misdemeanor is a little extreme for offensive touching. Seems like the appropriate penalty would be about...ten yards?
The Navy could use the bin Laden case for recruiting, but it would be on a limited basis.
"Your chances of being a SEAL are miniscule, but you could be the actual yeoman who handles their pay folder!" won't play well in an ad campaign
My version of nails-on-a-chalkboard that drives me insane: footsteps crunching on snow. Not necessarily my feet, either (although that's the hardest to take). It could even be on TV. I'll tell you whatever you wanna know, just make that sound stop!
I miss my old job of being a motor cycle seat....
After months of ridicule, I'm beginning to believe the December 21, 2012 guy may be on to something.
Hey, 9:00 A.M.--haven't you heard about all the billboards? The end of the world is May 21, 2011! Your date has been "trumped"! :-)
Great looking ride, and I do not mean the bike.
9:00 a.m.
Saw a study the other day where a scientist is saying that the end of the where date is off. He said that it might be off by as much as 50 years.
It only takes one prayer to make a difference. What are you saying?
4 year 8 months 21 days left until Doomsday.
-Algore!

What's this?
The Mississippi river flooding is happening right around my home town of East Prairie, Missouri, it is a horrible thing that was made worse by having to flood the spillway for the first time since 1937. I still have family and friends on both sides of the river. Missouri and Kentucky. Anyone interested in seeing information can go to Bird's Point New Madrid information center.
Almost two and a half years after Democrats passed a trillion dollar stimulus bill, we still have 9% unemployment, the federal debt has increased 25%, gas prices are up (along with the price of everything else that requires gas,) people are still shaky about the economy and the latest polls show voters prefer Republicans over Democrats in handling the budget. Expect Obama to ride the bin Laden donkey for a long, long time.
Here's one for you:

HOT lady in today's pic — but POOR resolution!
Was that taken by a cell phone with fewer than 2 megapixels?
If the budget is 100% too high, and the Democrats only increased it 25%, well, even wordkyle can do that math. Bush and the Republicans argued for decades that deficit spending was a good thing, but all of a sudden there's a black president so now they're tea partiers and secessionist traitors.
But the Republicans control the purse strings now, so I look forward to them fixing things. It's their deficit now.

After Desert Storm George HW Bush had a 90% approval rating. Two years later Clinton was elected because of the economy. Obama is doomed to be Jimmy Carter II, Failed Presidency and failed retirement.

Flooding News..
I am curious about the rush to sand bag the levee. Why didn't they just leave them there from last year?
RAGE GETS HIS IMFO FROM RUSH,AND WANTS TO BE BGs FRIEND....
Clinton was elected because of Ross Perot. Something you tea party douchebags would do well to remember.
Rage
I thought the Mississippi flooded out in the mid 90's. I remember it slowed down the transportation of contraband, namely Coors beer.
wk,
You are a one trick pony. Does anything else ever cross your mind?

"The texture of food has never factored in to what I will or will not eat."
Note to self, never pay attention to anything BG has to say about food/restaurant reviews ever!
I wonder if those Japanese nuclear reactors are still leaking.--Yeah, they're still leaking, leaking f'ng tigers blood!!!!

wordkyle, you're still here?
Dear Unlce (sic) Wally - What exactly is your complaint?
Yep, same problem I always have with Jack County people. They always want to touch me. Very inappropriate. Think I will call Mike about some indictments.

The miss-guided K-9 tooth story makes me wonder how much of the "miss-information" that came out following the bin Laden raid was from “official sources” or just the media and it's pundits do what the do – adding their guesses of what happened and treating those guesses as fact.
I know there were some examples of both – but I’m betting the media can claim a higher percent.
I'm still looking for someone to loan me a sheep for the weekend.

"If the budget is 100% too high"
It is not. About 40%.
"... and the Democrats only increased it 25%"
Wrong again
"Bush and the Republicans argued for decades that deficit spending was a good thing, but all of a sudden there's a black president so now they're tea partiers and secessionist traitors"
It is really great that libs now rely on a guy with an approval rating in the 20's for their actions. Bush sucked. Obama sucks more. The US deserves better than either.
"But the Republicans control the purse strings now, so I look forward to them fixing things."
Another lie. Repubs control one third of government. As has been shown, they cannot unilaterally control anything.
"It's their deficit now."
No, Obama has run up a larger deficit than all presidents from Washington to Reagan. It is all his.
Quit lying.
It's rare to actually see a rabbit leaving a trail. Easier to distract from the facts than face up to the truth, I guess. The point of my post was this - the economy is about as bad off as it was two years ago, worse in some areas. Obama came in and poured gasoline (it was cheaper then) on the budgetary fire. A CBS News/New York Times poll -- about as pro-Obama as it can get -- says voters disapprove of his handling of the economy 55%-34%. The economy has been at the top of the public's concerns for years. Add those two things together and you see why Obama wants to be in photos with firefighters and SEALs, to remind people constantly that HE got bin Ladin. All in hopes they'll forget that everything else he has touched has turned to crap.
What's the matter wordkyle, get stomped on the Osama issue so you switched to the budget?
Bush asked for an got the first stimulus measure. So Republicans have poured plenty of gasoline.
You and 7:57 just need to give up and quit lying.
Another lie. Repubs control one third of government.
Guess which third, genius? The one where all budget matters MUST originate according to the Constitution.
If it was Obama's deficit within a month of him taking office, it's sure as Hell the Republicans' now. They control the purse strings.
So get out there and fix it, and make sure to prevent any more of those Republican stimulus plans. Thanks.
That's what happened, all right.
The funny thing about such posts is the poster's willingness to look completely out to sea on the topic. Civics 101 issues such as how the budget process works don't matter. Or trying to minimize the increase in the federal deficit of $3.3 trillion since Obama took office. In other words, it went from $10.7 trillion to $14 trillion (my earlier math was off. That's actually a 31% increase) -- in two years under Obama and his Democrat Congress (both houses, not just one.)
But yeah, I feel stomped. Sure do.
