Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts



  • There's a civil trial going on at the courthouse which involves a car wreck in front of the Devon offices on 380 near Bridgeport. The only thing noteworthy is that one of the attorneys works in the law office of former Dallas city councilman Domingo Garcia and another is the brother of Texas Supreme Court chief justice Wallace Jefferson. 
  • Notable Denton County book-in photo.
  • The Messenger reports (in today's newspaper with tomorrow's date on it) that the body of the deceased in the Bridgeport-Alleged-Murder-With-A-Car case landed 100 feet off of the road. Oh, my. (And there's some pretty good Joe Duty photos.)
  • Boy, that case is proof positive that Facebook, Myspace, and other social networking sites can be important to both the prosecution and the defense. (But it also seems ripe for a murder mystery along the lines of Basic Instinct: "Do you think I'd be stupid enough to wish someone dead on Facebook and then go kill them?" <-- Purely hypothetical. The Bridgeport girl didn't post anything like that.)
  • Channel 8 news has been running a clip of a school fight (more of an assault) in a Seagoville ISD classroom as the teacher stands back and watches. To my surprise, the callers to conservative talk shows have given lots of support to the teacher -- mostly along the lines of "They don't get paid enough to break up fights." 
  • You know you're old and have been living here a long time when you hear someone refer to "Channel 11" and for a second you've completely forgotten that CBS now occupies the channel.
  • In turning on my alarm last night, I stopped and thought, "I've been doing this routine for a long, long time." 
  • And this morning, when four people pulled out of their driveway in my neighborhood to go to work at the exact same time, I thought of the novel Babbitt that I read in college.
  • But I guess it's better living a life that includes camping outside in front of a new In and Out Burger in Frisco last night. Really people?
  • I have no idea what's the real deal about the Bridgeport High School Controversy of 2011, but it sounds like complete chaos. Last night, the school board reversed its decision made two weeks ago regarding the number who can be on the squad. 
  • It's easy to forget about Westover Hills, a town within the city of Fort Worth: Under 700 residents, 96.7% white, with an average mortgage payment of $4,001 (for those who have mortgages.)
  • Governor Perry, who tweets infrequently, sent one out two days ago wishing Israel a happy birthday. Think that one is political at all?
  • What does this mean?: "The kickoff time for Texas' game at UCLA on Sept. 17 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena , Calif., has been set for 2:30 p.m. Central and will be televised by ABC with a reverse mirror on ESPN." Reverse mirror?
  • Watching a group of middle age white folks on Fox News criticize Michelle Obama for inviting hip hop artist Common to the White House makes me cringe.

"Reverse mirror" means the game will be on ABC stations in California, Texas and surrounding states and ESPN elsewhere.
So the game is nationally televised, but seen on different channels depending on where you are. ABC is then able to send other games to the rest of its affiliates, while UCLA and UT fans in those cities can watch on ESPN.

Why does the criticism over Common make you cringe? It seems valid to me, unless you're OK with lyrics about killings cops and a political leader you disagree with?

Would you be OK if I wrote a similar poem about Obama?

I worked at an inner-city school where fights happened almost daily, and teachers were required by the principal to be in the hallways during passing periods so that we could break up any fights that occurred in our area. Nuh uh. Not happening.

I didn't mind breaking up boy fights, because it was middle school and they would mostly just posture and say "What? What?" like a bunch of goofballs, but the girls were another story entirely. On any given day at 4:00 p.m., you'd walk down the halls and find clumps of hair, blood, and one time I found a tooth left behind! Every time I saw a girl taking out her earrings in the hallway, I'd get this panicky feeling. I do enough stuff outside my job description that I don't feel obligated to handle fights, whether it's my job or not. It's not going to help anyone if I end up in the emergency room, and as a graduate of BHS, I just don't have the training to deal with it. Most of those 7th grade girls were bigger than me. God Bless Panic Buttons.

Reverse mirror - you know how when you go to back up in your car, and you can't see around the high-back seat, so you just look in the reverse mirror and hope to heck there's nothing immediately behind you on the ground. I'm not sure what this has to do with football. I'm hoping it means Texas runs over UCLA, then backs up and runs over them again

I saw the article in the S-T today about folks camping out to be the first in line for a burger. A burger! Do they realize that the place will be open tomorrow, and the day after as well?
I could understand camping out for concert tickets; you wanna be first in line, to get the best seats. And if prostitution were suddenly legalized, you'd want to be the first in line for...well, just to be first I guess, or to get the best seats!
And I'm always suspicious at the mention of "special sauce" - on anything (but I've returned to the subject of burgers). Just tell me what's in the sauce and I'll decide whether it's special or not

Wouldn't Mr. LL himself be consider "middle aged white folks"

From the Daily Caller:

First Lady Michelle Obama has scheduled a poetry evening for Wednesday, and she’s invited several poets, including a successful Chicago poet and rapper, Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr., AKA “Common.” However, Lynn is quite controversial, in part because his poetry includes threats to shoot police and at least one passage calling for the “burn[ing]” of then-President George W. Bush.

Let's see......

Common writes songs about killing President Bush and killing cops, but it is perfectly acceptable in your liberal mind for Obama to invite him to the White House for a "Poetry Event." I bet you wouldn't feel the same way if this guy had written a song about killing Obama!

Love how you make it sound bad that it was a bunch of old white people talking about this. The way you said it is trying to infer racism. What if we had said that it was a bunch of African Americans setting around talking about that. I suppose that would have been acceptable.

I congratulate the parents on both sides for standing up for what they think is right.

I congratulate the board for, after hearing both sides, having the stomach to reverse what they believed to be in uninformed decision. Maybe they should have heard both sides before they ruled the first time..

In my board experience, I'm also quite sure that they conferred with their attorney before ruling.

Having said that, If the original complainers press the issue to court, it will FAIL miserably.

The Board Voted two weeks ago to remove everyone from Varsity Cheerleader and Jv Cheerleader to form a "Squad" with all the students that tryed out and didn't make it and the ones who made it. So I really don't see how they were removed this time, because my understanding is no one was on Varisty and this is why the parents were mad because it was taken from these girls and given to everyone because three people had filed grievances due to not making squad or grades or something?.

* Am I the only person who thinks it is weird that the Random Thoughts girl, in the black dress, has a BlackBerry phone tucked into the top of her dress under her right armpit?

* What is it with parents and football/cheerleading drama? Believe it or not, if the kid ever does anything of substance in their life, high school football/cheerleading really will not matter in 20-30 years.

* There are times, Barry makes me shake my head, in absolute dismay, when he screws the pooch and misses the point as badly as he did on the gansta rapper spewing hate speech in the White House, at the invitation of the First Lady. Bravo/Brava to everyone who understands that it is just as racist to cringe because of something because it is being done by White people as it is to cringe at something because it is being done by Black people. However, thank you Barry for giving me a wee bit more insight to how Liberals are always able to see racism, in the actions of random White people, when there is none. I vaguely recall something about the immorality/hypocrisy of faulting someone for the speck in their eye when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye.

Thanks for the reminder that Liberal Hypocrisy is still thriving and assuring racial inequality in the US.

The parents who went to the BISD board meeting last night did so because they felt that if the girls who did not make cheerleader could be heard by the board, then the ones who actually did should have the same rights. The rules were changed this year and each girl and parent was given these rules and signed a paper that said that they knew of the rules before tryouts. Funny how these rules didn't become stupid until their daughter didn't make the squad. They may be stupid rules but they were agreed upon before tryouts. To let everyone who tried out be a cheerleader because they cried to the board is rediculous!! I applaud the board for saying that they made a mistake and corrected the mistake. They girls who are being reassigned to JV cheerleader did not make varsity cheerleader in the first place.

Anonymous said...

Actually 1:04 some of these girls that are now being moved to JV had better scores than those on varsity.
But when you give people a 60 day head start to come up with how to make grades 25% of the score you can kinda pick your squad now can't you!
It would serve them right and send a clear message if the 3 girls involved would push the issue.
2 out of 3 of them did not even get to present their case to the board. So sad to see good people and their kids treated this way by their school and so called friends.

Anonymous said...

Fact On April 28 BISD board ruled to offer varsity cheerleader position to every girl that tried out this year.
Girls are notified on following morning but told they were all on one squad no longer considered varsity or jv.(per administration)
Fact Several parents are upset by this and take back to same board on May 10, board retracts offer for varsity and offers original complainants positions on JV.
Now is this fair or not, you tell me?
I think we ALL know the answer is "NO!"

Dear 1:42,

oh yeah, and Al Gore won the popular vote... but the RULES don't care about that..

If they had made a better score, PER THE RULES, they would have been on the squad.

Nobody had 60 days for anything.

The rules were rolled out 2 or 3 weeks before the try-out for EVERYONE.

The 2 of the 3 that didn't present their case had the same chance to do so as anyone else.

If you force me to choose between your "friendship" and standing up for what I feel is an injustice to my child, YOU LOSE.

The board is simply holding these people to the agreement they made.

But if you don't get that by now, you never will.

Personally, I would abide no pass/no play although part of me hopes their mommas waste their cash to file suit so they can get their fannies spanked in a public courtroom and have to actually explain to a judge why they are so special they can agree to something in writing then throw it out because they didn't like the results of their agreement.

It was completely absurd for them to put everyone on the team because everyone did not deserve...goes back to the everyone gets a trophy mindset...does not teach the kids anything.

There is nothing that is going to "make this right" the new rules where not very thought out! The orignal girls that made Varsity deserve that spot, if there where miscaluations, then the cheer coach needs to stand up and make it right. Revert back to the rules from last year and have the girls "retry" out.. That way it will be a level field. From my understanding(no I am NOT a Cheer Mom) there was alot of talented girls trying out. So if they where that good then, they will be now! I am sure if you ask the girls they would rather "retry out" than to be appointed. I can assure you that "money" "status" whatever you want to call it doesn't hold much ground, because in both cases, there seem to be different "social status" from each of the families. Also if you ask each parent their reasons for taking it this far is make it right/fair for all the girls. You can't say it was done for any other reason!!

Hate to break it to ya, but cheerleading is NO BIG DEAL. It does absolutely nothing to prepare you for your further adventures in life. It is designed for girls that peak in high school- to later become a single mother of three, living in a run down trailer park....

Omg!You people just need to have a meeting and act like adults!Last time I checked these were kids that are being talked about.If you cant talk it out face to face as adults then just shut up!Stop putting the kids and everyone else through this.Looks like the kids are acting more like adults than the parents (or the people on this blog that only know hear say).

Lets review
1. Cheerleaders can't even throw a football or t-shirt unless its to their parents or their friends.
2.Butts hanging out and hundled together to stay warm or giggleing.
3.Few cheers during the game, maybe 5-6.
4. Have no idea about football just want to run around waiting for the game to end so they can go drinking.
5
6
7 etc.

Get a life

Did either of you even attend high school, for any length of time, ever?

Typically, I refrain from being a Grammar Nazi but your comments are just so off-the-wall I could not help but make a remark, this time.

If Mz gets to be a grammar Nazi...
"...I refrain from being a Grammar Nazi but your comments are just so off-the-wall I could not help but make a remark, this time."
You need a comma between "Nazi" and "but." As written, it's a run-on sentence.

"When a coordinating conjunction connects two independent clauses, it is often (but not always) accompanied by a comma."

I elected, correctly, to not use a comma with the conjuction that connected two independent clauses.

You're welcome.
