Random Thursday Morning Thoughts


  • "Winds estimated at 60 to 70 mph overturned several recreational vehicles at the Smith RV Center on U.S. 287 in Decatur and uprooted trees, according to the Wise County Sheriff's Department. The night before, strong winds blew down signs at Braum's and Taco Bell in Decatur." Source.
  • "Wise County Fire Marshal Marc Dodd said lightning struck and ignited an oil tank battery, but it was quickly extinguished. He said reported winds as high as 70 mph toppled four recreational vehicles in a Decatur lot, blew two mobile homes from their foundations and smashed some lightly built sheds and barns. No injuries were reported." Source.
  • "BRIDGEPORT: Water lightly stained; 67-74 degrees; 5.15' low; Black bass are good on Jackall Bling 55 crankbaits and Texas rigged Jackall Sasuteki Craws. Crappie are good on jigs and minnows." Source
  • Come on. Throwing in the last one was funny. (And I was thinking yesterday that a Jackall Sasuteki Craw would do the trick.)
  • And another guy smashes into a police car. (This time a bit closer to us in Westlake.)  What is that? The fifth time?
  • The Family Cat has now decided that running from one end of the house at a speed which might possibly break the sound barrier is a good way to spend the day.
  • The Star-Telegram laid off even more employees yesterday. This time the number is 45. 
  • Funny tweet I saw yesterday: "Obama's got 99 problems but Common ain't one."
  • The Granbury murder trial went to the jury yesterday. No verdict, but they come back this morning. Man, that evidence seems weak. (And what's the connection? One of the victims is the sister of a Wise County officer?) I had heard that some local officers had been sitting in on some of the trial. 
  • There will be another DNA exoneration announced in Dallas today. No biggee. He just spent 27 years in prison!  I'll say it again: If you ever serve on a criminal jury, don't be afraid to tell the prosecution that they failed to prove their case to your satisfaction.
  • Going to Waco for a college graduation this weekend. Time seems to be moving at rocket speed. 
  • Newt Gingrich has announced he will run for president. Good luck with all that. He stands about as much chance as Herman Cain (who America has never heard of despite the claims of Obama haters.)
  • My entire front flower bed is being uprooted today and a complete make over begins. Something about how a "clean" look is "in" per Mrs. LL.  (Need to get those home improvement channels removed from the programming package.)

Ok, it's cool for jurors to tell the prosecutor when they have not proved the case to the juror's satisfaction. No problem. Now YOU leave them alone when they tell the prosecutor that they ARE satisfied by voting guilty. You have a real defense attorney double standard on that score.

"The Star-Telegram laid off even more employees yesterday."...Was Bob Ray Saunders one of them?

Ain't it ironic that the racist tea party is backing Herman Cain who happens to be black and has actual business experience as opposed to being a community organizer?

I watched the debate on fox and was really impressed by Herman Cain. Didn't know much about him prior to the debate but after the debate--I'm on his bandwagon.

I know we conservatives get accused of being racist but I wouldn't have cared of Obama was green--I still wouldn't have liked him, his experience or the line of crap he fed America.

There was a section missing in my Star-Telegram this morning. The person must have been laid off who was in charge of making sure all subscribers received what they were paying for.

The pic girl must be at Bridgeport...I think I see a Texas rigged Jackall Sasuteki Craw in her mouth...or maybe she's just reminding me of a black bass.

In addition to being tied down, mobile homes are more likely to survive storm winds if oriented with the prevailing storm wind direction. A heading of 263 degrees is ideal for Wise County trailers.

I hardly write to the editor, but today's chic photo is the worst ever, good chance it's a very old photo.

That type of bathing suit was popular about five years ago, the tie or wrap around suits are now popular with females ages 16 - 32. Plus, the color is really out dated, it went out with George W. Bush.

Good chance that the photo was taken right before a large tuna hit her face or it could have been right after getting hit in the face by a large tuna, you make the call.

Please note, your reader demographics prefer photos of women with large breasts and better yet if they are also drunk.

Stay Hard

I concede that Gingrich doesn't have a chance of winning, but he will hopefully at least inject some desperately needed Reagan conservatism into this presidential campaign. Too bad he won't get to debate Obama.....Gingrich would give Obama a THRASHING!

Too bad Gingrich's personal life is even more despicable than Bill Clinton's, otherwise he'd probably have a shot!

Can't wait for Rage to bust your chops on today's butterface.

Newt might be the only guy capable of getting a nomination in America that i would't vote for over our current president. i CAN'T STAND our current leader...but i could never live with myself if i voted for a guy who dumped his cancer eaten up wife on her hospital bed in order to hook up with the next skirt on his list. it is conceivable he is a bigger hypocrite than Rush, but its probably a push.

You mean the Texas House passed a bill that the gas drillers have to disclose what chemicals they are injecting? I would bet lunch that in the fine print it is voluntary and their are no penalties attached.

Barry you need to check out this story. Click on Hyper links for the pictures showed to kids-Worms coming out of womans rear end and worms in mans brain. Pretty intense. I didnt think it would be tramatizing to kids till I saw pics.

I happened to be in Waco myself last Saturday. It was the first time I've stopped there in over 10 years. I made the obligatory trip to George's for an icy cold Big-O refreshment.

I must say...the current group of waitresses are MUCH younger and better looking than the waitresses that worked there back in the 70's.

Perhaps you missed the "exonerated" part of the story?

Also, today's random thoughts girl needs a gag and a wax job.

9:53 I haven't seen the final version; however, the February version did in fact have provisions which would curtail a citizen's right to sue a producer. Damage caps as I recall.

920 - Do or don't support Gingrich, but don't base your decision on that story. His daughter has debunked it.

Rage, perhaps you missed the application to all cases in general following the word exoneration.

A Jury can ruin a man or womans life forever, if a D.A. let's a person tell just one lie, or feed them enough crap, they will believe without hard evidence or DNA. Shame, Shame on you.

Yeah, you're right 12:40. It's all a big conspiracy by prosecutors to keep government jobs. Why didn't I see it before. Let them all go. Everybody's innocent. There's no more crime, or victims, or any of that horseshit that prosecutors make up to keep a job.

Upstairs said...

In the Hood County Justice Center about 11:30. They were still waiting for the jury. Talked to the defense counsel who was optimistic but pacing. The alternate juror was talking and said he would be voting no but he wasn't in the deliberations.

In the Erath County Annex earlier in the day and their investigator had been a witness because he was in Indiana to interview the defendant's ex-wife. He said he thought the evidence was weak.

We'll see.

2:03 there are rare mistakes that occur. Extremely rare. We should correct them and learn from them. But that's no reason to condemn the whole system. Go anywhere else in the world and compare. See who gets the most rights when accused, see who gets a free attorney all the way thru the system. We have the best there is, and it's about time the defense attorneys and whiney liberals admit it.

DA's and cops are trained extensively how to bend the truth and outright lie on the stand. That is fact.
