- The National Geographic Channel may be better at history shows than the History Channel.
- I sometimes put a coke in the freezer for a few minutes in the morning. I did that yesterday then forgot about it. Mrs. LL wondered what that explosion was.
- Everyone was raving about Trader Joe's coming to Dallas. The name sounds familiar but that's about it for me.
- Fox 4 ran a story about a "naked man eating in woman's apartment" about one hundred times yesterday. Let me guess, Naked In Title = Ratings.
- On the same day, the Texas government took a Pro Death stance by executing a man and took a step towards passing the Pro Life sonogram bill.
- With the Obama Administration releasing conflicting details about the Bin Laden killing, the conspiracy theorists are going to have a field day splicing the clips together for a documentary. It's perfect: Secret mission, DNA in hours, body disposed of mysteriously at sea, conflicting statements . . .
- For those that think the Bin Laden dead body photo would be "too gruesome" to release, we've been able to handle the Zapruder film pretty well.
- D Magazine's cover story is about the 20 best steakhouses in Dallas. I'll go to one on a rare special occasion, but I'm not sure I've ever thought of one as an option on an average Saturday night.
- I don't know why I'll always remember a friend's relative in high school saying, "One thing I'd like to do is go down to Dallas and get a big ol' steak and then get a hotel room 'cause I'd be so sleepy." All the adults in the room agreed. It just seemed so - I don't know - excessive.
- Casa Torres in Decatur is expanding. Hope they remember to expand parking along with it.
- A Texas State student (that'll always be Southwest Texas State to me) died after jumping out of a window in the middle of the night. It was on the first floor with the ground six feet below. If that's not strange enough, another girl who went out the window at the same time is still hospitalized.
- Second Grader In The House This Morning: "We get to go to the park for an hour and a half on our field trip! That's like a thirty minute lunch and an hour recess!"
- For the longest time, the murder of two young women in Granbury went without an arrest. (Jarhead?) Now a trial is going on which sounds like it will be Wheels Off. It's never good when the DA has to start his case with an opening statement that paints an "unflattering picture" of the victims and includes the phrase "ménage a trois". Story.
- If you're crammed in a subway in New York, you might not feel like engaging in a "USA! USA!" chant. Now that's the America I know.
- Heard a lawyer giving loud advice to someone on a cell phone yesterday that included the phrase, "Go ahead and do it, you can always declare bankruptcy later." Sheesh.

She is cute. She looks really serious.
One thing you failed to mention about the Bin Laden death....
Everyone was ready to go on Thursday and do the mission. Obummer stunned everyone and said that he had to "sleep on it" before making a decision.
He delayed everything 16 hours for what was a no-brainer decision. If we ever really get in trouble and need a quick decision from this guy, we are in trouble!
With all the policy disasters coming from the Obama administration, the conflicting details in the initial announcements about bin Laden don't even move the needle. Some confusion on the details of a mission like this is to be expected. They could have waited a bit longer for more verification, but I understand their eagerness to start the Obama victory lap.
HOPE YOU GIVE AN AFTERNOON PICK-ME-UP THIS BLOND IS A DUD....
The food at Casa Torres is worse than Taco Bell. In the last 10 years, we've eaten there there three times and wondered why we wasted our money.
"For those that think the Bin Laden dead body photo would be "too gruesome" to release, we've been able to handle the Zapruder film pretty well."
Nothing could possibly be as gory as the Bud Dwyer suicide video.
He was a corrupt Pennsylvania politician who called a live televised press conference that interrupted a children't television show. A few minutes into his speech he took a pistol out and did himself in. It was the goriest thing I've ever seen. Imagine the Zapruder film x a factor of 10.
Google it.
Solution to your Coke explosion problem: kitchen timer w/audible alarm
If Casa Torres doesn't do something about the parking, then expanding the dining area is a dumb idea. You have to wait in line to park before you can wait in line for a table
Pro-life/pro-death: there's no conflict here. Protect the lives of the unborn innocent. Then, if they do something later during that life to warrant it...death!
You were right, the conservatives (on this blog) are already picking this apart. Hey a$$holes, this is America- Let's try and be UNITED just this once...
how can we believe anything when they keep changing their story?
either they're(the president and his administration) trying to hide something or they plain dont want us to fknow.
which one is it barron?
Fox 4 "Naked man eating in woman's apartment" one hundred times, Naked In Title = Ratings
Hey, have you thought about this blog? Bikini clad women used to highlight Morning Thoughts and Afternoon Pick Me Up's = High Perv Ratings LOL, Does that count?
-I for one have no desire to see the OBL pics or know the actual details of the mission. I’m going to believe the WH on this one. IMHO, the only people that should be allowed to see those pics (if they so desire for closure) are the families/victims of 9/11.
8:54 - so is Wordie.
Before I catch hell over the perv comment, if you would give us girls some David Beckham, we could up your ratings too! LOL
"On the same day, the Texas government took a Pro Death stance by executing a man and took a step towards passing the Pro Life sonogram bill."
Protect the unborn and innocent and execute those guilty of heinous crimes, got no problem with that. We should have public executions it would be a great deterrent to crime and think of the tourism dollars that could be generated.

Trader Joes is sort of a mini Whole Foods. Often over priced, but more healthy options.
Hey,I seen Bin Laden livin in a trailer park in Newark just the other day.
I love the food at Casa Torres. Can't imagine eating mexican food anywhere else.
National Geographic is pretty good. I think comparing top level programming on both the History Channel gets the nod. But the History Channel runs a lot of B level junk now.
Trader Joes = California version of Dollar store. Meh.
I don't like the Sonogram bill. But those opposing viewpoints you mention make about as much sense as being an Animal Rights Activist and Pro-Choice.
Congrats to Casa Torres expanding. And yes, I hope the parking lot gets a lot bigger. But I am not a member of the Cult of Casa Torres, so I will pass.
Read a good story on Politico.com talking about the lead for the OSAMA operation came in 2007 at Gitmo. Question for the day: If that was the ONLY piece of intel ever gleamed from the 500 prisoners there, would it be worth it to keep them there? [I know there has been a lot more, just playing hypotheticals].
And 2007 was during the Bush Admin. And Obama kept GITMO open after his election, against much angst from the left. Kudos to both Presidents for having the stones to see some things through.
The so-called disgusting geek shot the two women in Granbury after learning he had been played. I fail to see how that is capital murder. Would a heat of the moment defense be appropriate in this case?
@9:03 am, I agree that R. Bud Dwyer's suicide was much gorier than the Zapruder film because the images were sharper and there were the sounds of the reporters and staffers yelling at him to not do it plus the gunshot itself.
The funny thing about the aftermath was all the viewers calling the stations which carried the "news conference" live to complain about the lack of advanced warning Dwyer was going to shoot himself.
An individual's decision to end the life of an unborn fetus: issue #1.
Society, through the legislative and legal systems, agrees and universally publisizes that you forfeit your life if you are convicted in a court of law by a jury of your peers of committing a heinous crime against another person or persons: issue #2.
Profoundly apples to oranges.
TxTrigger - A few items are overpriced, but there's no better place to get excellent proteins at a reasonable price. We live in Richmond, VA, and get all our fish, beef, and chicken at Trader Joe's because it's cheaper and higher quality than our Kroger. In that way it's not like Whole Foods, which is just flat unaffordable for most folks. And for a huge selection of inexpensive (less than $10) but very tasty wines, Trader Joe's CANNOT be beat.
9:03, you are crazy! Casa Torres is the best Mexican food in Wise County! Nom nom nom.
8:39, I don't mind a president who thinks things through carefully before making a decision. I'm not the hugest fan of Obama, but in this case it seems to have worked out well. I mean, what if their intelligence was wrong and they HAD gotten the wrong guy because they jumped the gun? Or what if more Americans had lost their lives because their approach was poorly planned? Smart decisions sometimes take a few hours to sort out!
bishop would have found bin laden in 2 weeks.
What is that behind her? A beached whale????
Obama Administration --- conflicting details ---
How can that be?!!
"On the same day, the Texas government took a Pro Death stance by executing a man and took a step towards passing the Pro Life sonogram bill."
As far as I'm concerned, the death penalty is PRO-LIFE because it deters people from committing murder, thus saving lives.
There was a story in the news last month about a man in Illinois who decided to kill his ex-girlfriend after he found out that state no longer enforces the death penalty!
HOLY SHEZZZAMMM BATMAN!!!!
THAT RANDOM WEDNESDAY MORNIN GAL HAD GOT A WILLIE HANGIN OUTTA HER NAVAL.........WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As I've been saying on this blog since the Bin L. 'supposed' death, you people who just believe what comes out of the mouths of WAshington are imbeciles. I don't believe one word of it, changing stories....not a surprise. I seriously doubt that IF he is dead, it just occurred. I believe absolutely NOTHING the media and Obammy report...nothing.
Casa Torres is the best Mexican food in the region, not just the county.
Abortion: MY body/MY decision
Death Penalty: State's decision
Major difference there.
WhitneyLeigh....
There is a difference between thinking things through and what Obama did. The military and CIA had already checked everything out and they were ready to go, until Obama delayed everything.
What if OBL had moved during that time that Obama was "sleeping on it?" We might have never found him again.
I will admit that it has to be extremely tough being President and being responsible for sending men into battle. I would never want that responsibility of knowing that some of the men I send into battle will come home in caskets.
I can tell that you idiot Republicans have never been in combat. If you had, you'd know that there are as many stories as there are soldiers involved. Sometimes more.
Grow some balls and enlist, instead of just cheering on the death of brown people.
Obama deserves his share of the credit for the bin Laden strike, but not more. Sixteen hours to decide? Thoughtful contemplation or hand-wringing procrastination? Here's what Eisenhower did when making the far more important and precarious "go/no-go" decision on D-Day. Once again Obama suffers in comparison.
How can yo compare killing one man to D-Day?
Weak. There is no depth to which your dishonesty won't sink, wordkyle.
Here's a thorough documentation of Bush's failure to even care where Bin Laden was. Obama's 16 hours to decide versus Bush's seven years of not caring where Bin Laden was? Obama is the decider on this one, folks.

I truly am not that concerned about him [bin Laden]." -- George W. Bush, White House press conference, Mar. 13, 2002
"The greatest threat to our security lies in the tribal regions of Pakistan, where terrorists train and insurgents strike into Afghanistan. We cannot tolerate a terrorist sanctuary, and as President, I won’t…We must make it clear that if Pakistan cannot or will not act, we will take out high-level terrorist targets like Bin Laden if we have them in our sights.” -- Senator Obama, during the presidential campaign.
Still want to see the original birth certificate wordkyle?
Liberal twits that forever whine about inconsistency in those of us who are pro life and pro death penalty make me weary. Most of you are just plain duplicitous; but, for the slow ones among you, let me help you out.
As a society we collectively take someone’s life after they have been found guilty of committing the most heinous of crimes. Before that happens we afford them all constitutional rights and privileges to insure they have a voice and an opportunity to defend themselves.
Unborn children have no voice. They are murdered on a daily basis for who knows what reason. No one speaks for them. Debate over when a unborn should have rights is a legitimate discussion to have; but please, quit with the inconsistent routine.
If it makes you feel better we can have a trial a trial before every abortion to be sure there is a good reason we are taking a life. Giving innocents the same rights and privileges we give the monsters among us, there’s consistency for you.

And it's sad to see someone miss a point so completely, especially when everybody else gets it. Repetition won't help.
Wordkill,do you like the way old wet newspaper smells in the morning?
I imagine the second grader is pretty pumped up. School sucks now...they usually get about 20 minutes a day outside and that is if their parents didn't forget to sign their planner (FYI, I've taught mine to forge my name just in case we have too much family time at night and I forget)and they finished the latest worksheet whipping. Otherwise, they sit out being punished by either watching the other kids play or doing more drill and kill. I could go on about the lunch experience even more because I eat lunch with my kid on a weekly basis. I find the rules tedious and arbitrary but keep my mouth shut since I have a good kid and don't want to rock her boat. School just isn't fun anymore, not even for second graders.
Come on wordie, don;t go away mad, just go away.
I'll bet Rage's BP is about 1 billion over 445 million right about now.
In which branch of the armed forces did you serve, sir?
1:28, how sad that you have taught your own child how to lie and cheat to get out of trouble. What kind of life lesson is that? It takes all of 5 seconds to sign a planner, but apparently you are sometimes too lazy or selfish to give up that 5 seconds for your child. I hope you teaching your child how to forge your signature doesn't come back to bite you on the hiney one of these days.
THIS kind of parenting or lack thereof is the second biggest problem we face in school today. Or maybe the biggest, since I don't believe even budget woes can cause the same kind of damage as bad parenting.
Casa Torres isnt even the best mexican food in Decatur!
Casa Torres is one rude azz mexican joint and is way over rated. It's kind of like a ole El Paso TV dinner.
3rd Armored. Like my father and grandfather.
1:28...
It is amazing that your kids learn anything in school at all! I am sure that they share this piss-poor attitude of their parents, who has also taught them to cheat and lie.
My wife is an elementary teacher. I agree with 4:27 that your type of parenting is one of the biggest problems that teachers like my wife face.
Rage:
Are they gay too?
Dead from a first floor fall? Someone needs to teach those kids at Texas State about tuck & roll. Strange accident.
My Other Brother Darryl
Don't forget that the women who were killed in Granbury have families who happen to read this blog. I know because I just talked to one of them. Nice choice of words, Jarhead. Bet you wouldn't feel the same if it was your sister that was murdered, you effin ass. I used to have respect for you on here..used to being the key words.
And, Barry, I can't believe you put that asinine comment through. You know they are reading your blog (as they do daily), trying to get an escape from reliving the horror of having Robin murdered in cold blood while this trial is going on, and they have to see that? Really? geesh
I for one love casa torres! Looks of the line we have to stand in, just means your wrong! They do need more parking..
Casa Torres is my backyard neighbor. (Ugg). They're gonna tear down a house nextdoor & build the restaurant on that lot. The parking lot + the old restaurant lot = new parking lot. They have yet to follow the zoning codes, so I doubt that they follow any food codes either.
I think the state should step in and provide a quality education and supplement the parent for ever child it saves from abortion by this new sonogram bill. .Also we need a new agency to make sure that child is raised in a loving home environment and the daddy pays his share of expenses. And if you read Freakeconomics you might want to raise taxes to pay for those unwanted kids who turned to a life of crime. Government is too big yes so stop telling me what I have to do with my bodyx,,
WhitneyLeigh, you sound just like your old man.
As I said before, if it was a member of your family or your own sister, you would be singing a different tune...whatever.
