- Talked to a person yesterday who had consulted with a Fort Worth lawyer about representation in a felony DWI case and was quoted a fee of $25,000. That is more of a crime than felony DWI.
- I heard that Fox 4 reporter Krystal Guitterez had the most unfortunate blooper this morning while reporting from Hunt County. I'm working on that.
- For some reason, Thriller fired up in the middle of the night in the house.
- "Family Angered By Hit and Run Defense". I don't know if it is true, but the "I don't remember anything" isn't a bad defense in that case.
- Mrs. LL goes to the grocery store last night and came back with a University of Texas candy bar. Can this marriage be saved? (That question was always on the cover of my mom's old Redbook magazines. At least I think it was Redbook.)
- Want a Texas Theater Oswald T-Shirt?
- Baylor has new uniforms (and will continue to use two different colored helmets which is incredibly unstable. No credible program would ever do that.) Edit: Yep, I forgot about Oregon. But since the football team is basically owned by Nike, they don't count.
- We had a prostitution arrest in Wise County last night but the warrant had been issued out of Tarrant County. (Booking #71883) That ain't exactly Pretty Woman.
- C.J. Wilson gave up two hits and no earned runs and the Rangers still lost yesterday afternoon. I guess sometimes it's not about pitching (at least until you consider the other guy was equally good.) And Wilson is going to make a fortune as free agent this winter -- and it won't be from the Rangers.
- Edit for the perpetually confused: When I say "It's all about pitching" I mean "the only way you can be an elite team is through pitching".
- The City of Dallas shutdown a "fake church" which they said was actually a dance club that stayed open until 7:00 in the morning. The Dallas Observer had a slideshow of the place a few weeks back. I don't think that's First Baptist.
- An Alvord 27 year old is listed in today's obituaries. Any word on that one? I noted that the Sheriff's Office did have a report of an "unattended death" in Alvord yesterday.
- I watched the second episode of CMT's "Texas Women" (the "reality" show about four chicks in Fort Worth) last night and two of the gals went to the Bridgeport Rodeo! I would post some screenshots but they showed basically nothing of the crowd or the facility.
- Whenever I see two women "power walking" (or whatever you call it), they are always yacking up a storm.
- The "Skippy" guy really wanted me to explain Separation of Church and State. Sure, the 1st Amendment is pretty simple. Government can't establish a religion. Government can't interfere with our free exercise of religion. Sounds like a wall separating the two to me.

And why is it that stores here carry only UT and sometimes A&M gear? Hello, MANY Wise County students go other places, UNT, Texas Tech *yea*. Some marketer isn't doing enough research.
FYI, On Texas Women, there was a good shot of Paradise's Jerry Cox dragging the arena
Re: Baylor's new uniforms makes me very unhappy

From what I heard the 27 year old passed away in his sleep.
That lady looks like shrek! ewwwww!
Today's pic.....you're slipping again.
The part in Bridgeport was the only interesting thing about this whole show. Tried watching the first episode and could only last about 10 minutes.
We're going to need a Friday afternoon pick-me-up!
your blog continues to slide downhill. Not much interesting stuff at all. When you gonna bring your A game again?
Chico is spending couple hundred grand on sewer to their one tenant industrial park and at the same time Key Energy is moving out of town. 25% of Chico tax base Key energy that is.
Obama sucks for making my gas price so #$%^& high!!!
We are going to need lower fuel prices. If Bush caused it during his presidency, then Obama made it worse during his. Son of a %$^ !!!
The First Amendment prevents Congress from establishing a religion; it does not mandate governmental hostility toward religion. There is no so-called "wall" separating government and religion. Religious references are on our money. Both the U.S. Supreme Court and the Congress practice under symbols and references to religion. Both those bodies open their sessions with a prayer. U.S. Presidents take the oath of office with their hand on a Bible and using the phrase "So help me God." That "wall" has some serious holes in it. At least that argument does.
WTH? Did the prostitution hottie steal her "earnings" in order to get paid?
THEFT OF SERV >=$500<$1,500
1167384 PROSTITUTION
Listen up honey. You better step it up on those looks of yours if you're trying to charge that much for your special services.
Right now, as you are, I'm surprised the men or women (you never know these days) don't make you wear a bag over your head cuz you're worth about 5 bucks.
Rangers' game yesterday:
Man, you really are confused. You finally budged on the pitching issue, but you fell on the wrong side. In a 1-0 game with no earned runs, it really is about pitching, this time at least. It was nothing BUT pitching...and one error
UT candy bar:
Three Muske-steers?
Does it taste like...victory?

Triple Fake ghost of Gene Krantz's knitted vest
I'm not a fan of the Gold jersey in Baylor uniforms, and the gold helmets will always be my favorite. But I think the white helmets are a nice change of pace.
And as far as your comment about no credible school does that, Oregon has like six different helmet styles. Have they done anything lately?
Okay, Double Fake Mr. Blackwell, I believe the Oregon Ducks go with more than two helmet designs per season. They have some hideous uniform violations but by your measuring stick I guess they're not legit even though they lost to Auburn in the BCS Championship Game. I'm pretty sure the Ducks have bowl game scoreboard on the BU Bears over the last twenty years. Yep, I'm a Pac-12 fan, so there.
There's nothing wrong with your selection for Friday Morning RT girls but that prostitution arrest, Woof!
Never saw anything in those people's hands but water at that supposedly church, so why were they shut down?
you can't blame president obama for any of our problems, but you can thank him for trying to solve all the problems he inherited from bush and co..he really is a wonderful, compassionate man..he'll be our greatest president ever ? and he don't lie neither does clintons.
Skippy, Did Baylor ever seperate itself from state funds?
LOL Where is my head today? This sounds really funny.
Paradise's Jerry Cox dragging the arena
As for Thriller cranking up in the middle of the night -- maybe someone said "Michael Jackson" into a mirror three times.
950 now that is funny)))0(()))))
Are you being haunted by Michael Jackson?
sometimes you crack me up, ear man..
There is no so-called "wall" separating government and religion.
Atta' boy wordkyle, cry 'that's not what the founders intended!' all day long when it comes to taxes, education, and health care, but when you find an issue where we know EXACTLY what the founders wanted, and you still don't like it, you say it doesn't exist.
Stop lying wordkyle.
Rage
Rage, Can you show us where Wordkyle "cried" that's not what the founders intended. Go dribble your spittle somewhere else and save your blue dress.
Skippy, I didn't want you to explain separation of church and state. I wanted you to explain how if you are for separation of church and state, how you could attend a religious school that accepts state government funding. SHEESH. Try to keep up....
2 points:
1. The opposite of Separation of Church and State (which cannot be found in the Founding Documents)
is Islam, forced upon the State's citizens.
2. Rage, if you watch this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlfEdJNn15E your head might slide out a little bit easier.
Good Day
Rage, Can you show us where Wordkyle "cried" that's not what the founders intended. Go dribble your spittle somewhere else and save your blue dress.
Are you asking me if I have physically observed him crying? OK, you got me on that.
However, let's deal with this response substantively, with an easy little logical syllogism.
1. wordkyle has in the past (when it suits his argument) argued that he agrees with what the founders intended for the Constitution to mean;
2. Thomas Jefferson was a founding father;
3. Therefore, wordkyle agrees with what Thomas Jefferson intended for the Constitution to mean.
OK, that's pretty simple and I'm going to assume you're with me so far. I mean, that's Logic 101 and if you were ever in Tidwell Bible Building, you probably caught on to that much logic just walking in the hallway.
Here's where it gets tricky, and we build in the assumption in this second syllogism that wordkyle agrees with what Jefferson intended for the Constitution to mean, because the above syllogism led us to that very easy and very logical conclusion. Of course, we also have to assume that wordkyle is intellectually honest in his arguments, so [spoiler alert] that's where the whole thing goes wrong:
1. Thomas Jefferson believed that a wall of separation between church and state should exist;
2. Thomas Jefferson was a founding father;
(Pay attention now, because here is where it goes wrong:)
3. Therefore, wordkyle also believes that a wall of separation between church and state should exist.
OOPS! Wordkyle, sayitaintso! How in the world can the forst syllogism be true, but the second one be false?
Because he's a liar, that's how.
Rage
Secret Police:
1. That's funny, because I thought the opposite of Separation of Church and State (which was advocated strongly by Thomas Jefferson) was ANY religion. Nice to see your tea bagger bias assuming it's Islam only, though. The Catholic Church (you kn ow, that church-state we know as The Vatican) might want to have a word with you.
2. Not sure what you think that proves. I didn't watch it, of course, but I'm assuming that you, like everyone else, believe that because there are a few references to God scattered around government buildings that means that Christianity was ordained by the founders. That's about as ignorant as it gets.
Talking to you is like talking to a fence post. Except a fence post is at least useful.
Rage
Also, anyone complaining about these two girls, unless it's that they have too many clothes on, is gay.
Although the one on the left has that stupid Fiona face.
Rage
Bet they picked up the tarrant county prostitute at the new Rhome truck stop.
And wordkyle is an expert in everything
9:29 I think wise county picked her up on prostitution charge and the theft of service was the warrant from tarrant county. Just my guess.
And I have no doubt you talk to a buttload of fenceposts Rage.
And I am thankful you do.
But whatever, you still don't have a clue.
Goes to show how history eludes some people's grasp. Apparently so do the rules of logic. Putting nonsense into verse form does not make it true:
There are dogs in the world.
I saw a black dog once.
Therefore, all dogs are black.
I'll let others put more effort into rubbing the troll's nose in it. It's not worth it to me.
Hunt County? My imagination is running wild.
My Other Brother Darryl
Putting nonsense into verse form does not make it true:
We agree on something here, wordkyle: your nonsense is not true.
However, I intentionally wrote out two syllogisms in order to get around the obvious and ignorant attempt at discrediting the logic with your false syllogism (google it).
You're busted. And your silence on Jefferson's belief regarding the separation of church and state is deafening.
Stop lying wordkyle.
Rage
Hunt County? My imagination is running wild.
Iine Msn't.

Hey--Wordie's brain exploding blew up the internet for a second.
Come on Wordie, aren't you going to even try to justify your inconsistencies? Cause as of now, you're looking pretty foolish. And I didn't even take no logic.
Double Fake Mister Spock
I believe the 27 year old that died is the same one that a few years ago someone broke into his house in Alvord and beat him with a baseball bat severely. Not sure if the death now is anything to do with it.
Spock, being right is not foolish.
that a few years ago
Legally, it had to have happened within a year to be causally related. At least from a criminal standpoint.
Rage
Always good to see wordkyle being called out on his bullsnot.
I didn't think that Obama Youth camp got out until eight. Did you all decide to skip arts and crafts?
Apparently research, as well as logic, is beyond some critters. Keyboards are more ubiquitous than they ought to be. From this forum, 2.10.2008, my words: "Thomas Jefferson attended religious services in the Capitol building (which at last glance was government-owned.) Also in attendance was James Madison, the "Father of the Constitution." They clearly saw no problem with intermingling government and religion."
There's no "legal" requirement of one year to be causally related. Where did that come from? You telling me that if I beat someone nearly to death with a baseball bat and they are kept alive with machines in a coma for a year that it isn't murder anymore? Not so.
I'm pretty certain he suffered brain damage. He wasn't the same after it happened so I would say that's related.
1:54, actually, that is absolutely true.
Wordkyle, now show all of your ignorant followers Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptist association.
Jefferson not only believed in Separation, he coined the term.
Stop lying wordkyle.
Rage
Wordie is quoting hinself as authority? He may as well eat his own face! You're still wrong wordie, you'll have better luch defending Palin again.
The problem with the whole state and religion debate is that most Americans are Chritians and they equate God with Jesus Chirst, therefore Chritianity. The word God is all over the place. If the founding fathers wanted to recognize Christianity they would have mentioned Jesus. Any time Christians see the word God on our money or in any government related form they think of Christianity. The founding fathers used the word God to represent all religions and endorse none. We are not a nation of Christians but a nation of religious freedom.
Iran does not have separation of church and state.
Unce Wally
Wordkyle, can you imagine what Rage the dork would do if they had a religious service in the Capitol Building today? Probably look something like this.

Anna Hunt from Texas Women is freakin beautiful!! I love her and the show!! Can you please make her the r random thoughts girl on Monday???
216 - That reference was not to quote me as an authority, but to show how late you guys are to the discussion.
This is me quoting myself as an authority.
Deranged...
Your reference to the letter of the Danbury Baptist association had to do with Jefferson's thoughts on the Commonwealth of Massachusetts determining which religion would be designated as the religion of choice in their state.
The letter is not a legal document, just a letter professing his position.(Which I agree with, btw)
Jefferson didn't want to see the states designating a religion of choice, like England did with the Anglican church.
Please genuflect and bless yourself with holy water on the way out. Towels are available for blotting.
Rage: the thing that disgust me most about you is that you will say and/or do anything to try to lure people into your Obama flavored Kool-aid sipping party. I seldom feel the need to insult someone but even my patience has a limit. Would you do everyone a favor and move to California. They will welcome your stupidity with open arms. You can even take all your degrees and superior knowledge and help run that perfect example of leftist ideology into the dirt. You better hurry though. The left is trying to finish the state in record speed. So riddle me this Rage, if your leftist socialist ideology works so great why is everything going to hell in a hand basket in those places where leftist ideology is strongest? I know you love to bash Texas, Rick Perry, the predominantly Republican govt in Texas, and the large Christian base here so why is it Texas is in so much better shape than California? Is it because the govt in Cali is not taking enough of the people's money for redistribution? And don't skirt the questions by spouting off about problems here. I realize Texas is not perfect but it's a damn sight better than Cali. And try your hardest to just answer the question and reserve your insults and hate speech for someone else. I am well aware of your views. For once try to answer the question and make an intelligent argument.
In fact, Jefferson initiated at least three Christian church services, in at least three different federal government buildings. Obviously not an establishment of religion.
That should make praying before a high school football game okey dokey.
Really BG? The "I don't remember anything" is a good way for geting away with driving over a 12 year old. That's a season pass for the whole family on the Karma train. When the SUV is barrelling down on you, please get out of the way. For some strange reason I need this blog. Probably the random thought girls. They'll be the death of us all.
7:11, who cares? You're wrong. Jefferson wanted separation, period. What that means today is different than what it meant back then. End of story.
