- WFAA was all over "breaking news" yesterday morning about a former Dallas Cowboy who was arrested in downtown Dallas on minor intoxication charges. It turned out to be Stephen Hodge. Who? Hodge was on the team from 2009 to 2010 but was never on the active roster and never played a down. Doesn't take much to make news these days.
- Strange sight: The DART bus that crashed into a building over the weekend. I mean the whole bus was in the building.
- I'm a Ron Paul fan.
- I went to the Water Gardens in Fort Worth on Friday night (an often forgotten gem) and Mrs. LL just had to get in. But the humidity caused by all of that water was off the charts.
- Ate at Dos Chiles in Bridgeport on Sunday. You know, that's a pretty impressive building, and the food was really good. The service, however, was lacking which might of had something to do with the party of 30 sitting nearby (including eight kids who kept banging into our chairs like it was McDonald's Playland.)
- For the Liberally Lean female fans who have been ignored too long: Up and coming NBA star Blake Griffin at the beach.
- JLo is getting divorced after eight years. It lasted longer than I thought it would. Remember when she was engaged to Ben Affleck? The man dodged a bullet.
- Did you see that Rick Perry said he felt "called" to run for President.. He teases us more than Donald Trump, but this guy is actually going to run. And he'll get crushed.
- Visited the Bible Baptist Church in Bridgeport on Sunday to see a baptism. Afterwards a man came up to me and introduced himself. "I thought that was you! I don't know you but I read that blog." I told him he might want to keep it down.
- No hurricanes this year?
- Motorcycle death in Arlington last night.
- Edit: Another motorcycle death near Springtown after running from trooper. (No link yet.)
- I wouldn't surprise me if all of those small earthquakes around Texas (there was another one on Sunday) are due to fracking.
- Yesterday was thirty year anniversary of an event I hardly remember: The collapse of a skywalk at a Kansas City Hilton which killed 114 people.
- I've to to give Breaking Bad a chance. People were buzzing about last night's premiere.

Not only am I a Ron Paul fan, I sent him MONEY!
He is the only politician that does not make my knuckles itch.
I'm not so sure about Perry (or whoever the Republican candidate turns out to be) getting "crushed." Obama loses to the Republican by a good margin, according to a recent poll. Another poll shows that the majority of Americans disapprove of how Obama has handled the economy (56%-38%.) You've emphasized yourself that the economy will be what determines the election. Thirty months of Obama has resulted in no improvement in the economy, and a worsening in some areas. So, at the risk of offending you with harsh truths, "crushed" is little more than wishful thinking on your part.
Ohh BG, Blake Griffin is so pretty to look at! Thanks for that! Have you tried the DOS Chilles in Boyd, good food and always good service! Also, do you like people to walk up and let you know they read your blog? I have always wondered that.
Boyd Fan
I'm a fan of anyone who can beat Obama.
How about an update on the "revealing" Kate Middleton photo's emerging. Think "the Queen" is happy about this?
Run Daddy Run....
Then maybe he will finally let Texas get on down the road...
What's wrong with that chick's mouth.
Maybe I can fix it with my pringle's can.
Oh thank you for the Blake Griffin - Your female fans are well pleased :)
Dos Chillies and good food never belong in the same grouping of words...just sayin'
Isn't Ron Paul the same guy that wants us to be on the gold standard? I may be wrong about this. If so, that's just absurd.
Hey now.....can you say BAD BOOB JOB????? That's just gross!
How could any women think its attractive to have blown up moon-pies on their chest? If they looked natural thats one thing, but to have perfect circles? Thats just disgusting....
No hurricanes this year? But the brilliant scientific genius' Al Gore and Barbara Streisand said that they would become more prevelant and severe because of man made global warmism!
Mrs. LL is a hot hey now.
You actually allowed Mrs LL to get into that watery deathtrap? How big an insurance policy did you take out on her prior to that?
As far as the justice system is concerned, Casey Anthony hasn't committed a crime, other than failing to report her daughter was dead. That makes her an irresponsible parent, not a murderer. The media and celebrity-obsessed crime goofballs should get over it
How many conservatives that didn't vote for Obama in the last presidential election do you think are going to change their minds about him in the next election? You must think it's a significant number; that's the only way he crushes anybody
"Ohhh, 'bout 35,000!"
Triple Fake Nolan Ryan
I never expect good service in Wise County. It is rare to find an employee who is of sound mind and morals, at least when you are trying to find food service help.
when I was called for jury duty I wanted to meet you, but I knew it would be inappropriate to do so.
Blake rocks - on and off the court!
look at the pic of casey anthony in the post..looks like she's already practicing to go meet the president..clinton i mean..!
I'm with you 901. At this point I would vote for a duck because our country would be in better hands. One-term Jimmy Carter wanna be, here we come!
From all of your color-blind readers a BIG THANK YOU for changing the link colors.
Doubt if the earthquakes are due to fracking. That is the area where Texas is supposed to develop a great divide in the future, don't ya know.
How could Casey ever smile again. If my child was dead, I would have been so crazy the very day she died my brain prolly would have burst. Carma will get Casey for whatever she has done in this life.
Bacon Scale
3.9 out 5
That is kind of a bad boob job.
I say again, when these people get on a motorcycle they don't care if they live or die. I do not feel sorry for them, only their families.
right there with you 9:36. eating in wise county blows.
Give Breaking Bad a chance- it is GREAT. Be forewarned: it's in it's fourth season so you'll be tracking the rest down to catch up.
White people won't drown in the Water Gardens.
Just sayin'
Esse- what's your sudden fascination with ugly malformed chicks?
I was initially happy to learn of you marriage. I may have to re-think that though, it seems to have messed with your mind.
Your poll underserves the minority votes wordkyle. Just wait and see.
Rage
I'd hit that
with my truck.
That chick makes me wish I was straight. I would lick those toes.
Rage
I have been saying it for a long time now, the best Mexican fare in WC is Casillas in Bridgeport.
For all you Casa Torres fans, there is just something unnatural about getting your food 4 seconds after you place your order. If I wanted fast food I would simply go to Taco (Bell, Casa, ..Del, Maya, etc.)...or I would just nuke an El Charrito!
921..you must be a democrat..what do you think our dollar should be backed by..? now it is backed by debt..trillions and trillions of dollars of debt..the bankers love it no matter how it works out for american taxpayers..they rule.
If I was that girl, I would demand my money back for my boob job. He forgot to install the nipples.
Who is Carma? Casey's sister?
If fracking is causing the quakes in Ellis County, Wise County should be shaking like my bedroom floor on my honeymoon.
does anyone know why AIG was given over 200 billion dollars of taxpayer money, and they have not paid any back, in fact they need much more..just like fannie and freddie who have also received that amount and still failing..and no one has yet to be charged for any wrongdoing..are you f'n kidding me..hell yea Ron Paul, let's find out what happened to our late great country...RP don't use no stinkin teleprompter man.
If Obeyme doesn't come up with a plan, other than raising taxes, he's a Jimmy Carter one termer.
I agree 9:24 - those look like rocks. Ugly.
Two of the most tired phrases in history are: "Just Saying" and "Really?" When I hear a woman say "Really?" in a smart-a**, condescending tone, it makes me get nauseous. The former was used twice in just this set of comments. Really?
"Did you see that Rick Perry said he felt "called" to run for President.. "
It looks like Perry is cultivating the W comparisons even if his quote says otherwise. One man follows the voices in his head and kills a convenience store clerk is found competent to stand trial and is convicted of murder. Another man who follows the voices in his head and kills hundreds of thousands in the middle east is reelected president and revered as a hero.
I just saw on facebook that El Mixmaster - Tejano DJ is playing at the Pavilion Thursday night of the Reunion. The Reunion sure as hell regressed over the years. Cannot even walk through the midway without being bombarded by over-mustachioed vatos in their cockroach killers with their 10 person families.
the reason AIG will be bailed out forever, no matter what price is that American International Group Insurance Co manages all of the United States Congress' pension accounts. That's why..plain and simple, plus lots of union pensions.
The " Giverment " has a plan for your money. Shut up and hand it over! They have some people to pay for votes. That is what is important, not your freedom.
"...rare to find an employee who is of sound mind and morals"
You're kidding, right 9:36?
The sound mind part I can understand. I wouldn't care to be served by somebody who is obviously mental (although it happens all the time at the holidays. Zing! Just kidding mom)
Food servers are supposed to practice good hygiene, preferably be drug-free, and throw in a little courteous service. When did morals have anything to do with how well they plop a plate in front of you? And what restaurants do you frequent where you have that kind of information about the servers?
Morals in Wise county who the hell are you kidding? If we had morals half of the high schools seniors in Paradise wouldn't be pregnant and the other half would leave their brothers alone before they got pregnant!
Let's hope that Gov Goodhair resigns first as he should. after all, you can't run a campaign AND a state.
WOW. Ron Paul has been called the "intellectual godfather" of the Tea Party movement.
Don't you hate the Tea Party Mr. Green?
Used to be a waitress in the southern part of the county that would give it up if ya looked at her only difference now is she is no longer a waitress!
LMAO 10:13. I couldn't have put it better.
Yeah, cassillas' is good if'n you like dog... and other various meats.
You ever 'et a frog.....
ED Janey
You forget, everybody knows somethng about everybody in this county. Not many waitresses/bus boys are professionals. They are either teens, college students, uneducated or drugs addicts in this county. If you check the eateries often enough, you will see how fast the employee turn around is around here. I will make an exception, Casa Torres rocks! They have good food and service. Very family operated. No I have no connections, just love it.
Where's Casillas? I thought they went out of business.
They used to have a dump on the west side where after toking on a doob you could go in and play pool and eat great food for cheaps.
Gary the Android, I don't consider Bush a hero because he didn't kill enough people in the middle east.
Haven't paid much attention to this Ron Paul character. Someone should share the pros and cons of this guy in an unbiased fashion of course.
Look at the funbags on that hosehound.
10:44 - I was thinking the exact same thing!
Ron paul's track record iS well documented.
But here goes... he uses common sense no matter how unfashionable using common sense is.
Only thing wrong with today's girl is that those boobies would pop on those big horseteef once you got her going real good.
I like Casillas's but the last time I was there I became very uncomfortable about all the dogs tied up to that big tree beside it. Anyone know what that was all about?
What scared me was there were less dogs tied up after we got done eating.
Way to go BG. Another ugly fat chick with no ass. You're on a ROLL!!!!
I got a hundred that says Rick will be our next president.
Of course there's no hurricanes BG. . . I mean c'mon, Bush isn't in office any more and we ALL KNOW it was him that caused Katrina to ruin New Orleans! I wanna even say that our pResident-in-chief said something to the effect of he could lower the seas. . . I guess that's what happens with lower sea levels. . . No more hurricanes
Just read where two elderly women have died in Chico on July 7 and 8 due to the heat by not having AC's in their homes. Then I read the obits and saw family listed.
The families of these two women should be ashamed! What is wrong with you? Why would you not make sure your elderly family member had an AC?
I live in Decatur and drive to Casillas for my Mexican food. It is by far the best!
Two comments:
1. I truly hope someone shoots Casey Anthony and takes her out in the near future, because she obviously either murdered her daughter or knows who did. She partied while her child was dead....she deserves to die.
2. I will unequivocably vote for ANYONE who runs against that Muslim idiot we have now. I don't care who the Republicans run, it will be an improvement. No question about it.
10:25, are you serious? are you fn kidding me, how's that?
Random flashback. Terrell's!
Relax folks, I having been going to Casillas for years and have gotten to know the dogs, they are still the same one's...Ha!
Actually they moved the dogs several years ago when they cleaned up outside. The inside has also been renovated and is much cleaner and nicer. The only people that would have a problem eating there are the same folks posting racial slurs on here.
2:16
Got Prozac?
Oh.... I had no problem eating there once I got past the snarling dogs chained up outside. Just don't try to alter the order because it was going to come out the way it was in the menu anyway. I also would refrain from using the restroom. Better off holding it.
Food was good though.
1010 is the idiot. Our nation's GDP exceeds the value of all of the gold in the world, which makes the gold standard impossible.
Regarding the elderly women who died of heat related ailments in Chico, it was stated that they had family who looked after them, but the two ladies were old fashioned and refused to run their a/c units.
This is not out of the ordinary for their generation. However, in the state of Texas it is considered neglect if you allow your elderly parent to live in such a way. Most of them have the mind of a child when it comes to these decision. The family could be charged if the state had a mind to. Old people should be put in a nursing home when they cannot make proper decisions.
Casillas is probably the BEST Mexican food in Wise County. You should try it.
1:56 If you READ the story in the paper, the women refused an a/c. You can't force someone to use something they don't want to. If my kids try to force anything on me when I get old, they'll have a hell of a time. Everyone should get to choose how to live or die. They were old. If the heat hadn't gotten them, something else would have.
An amazing thing happened. I put one of those new curly Q lite bulbs on my porch and I'll be damned if it didn't start saving the environment. I'm going to start replacing all of the old bulbs in my house so that there will never ever be another hurricane, tornado or earthquake. If all of you simpletons would wake up and do the same thing, one day in the not too distant future, everyday will be a balmy 70 degrees with a slight breeze and a 15 minute rainshower. Off to Walmart to stock up on more curly Q's. I'll meet you there, Skippy and introduce myself.
4:31,
Thank you freely expressing yourself. Now, donate your money to feed the lazy and buy a hybrid.
Df Alfred gore
10:13, I spewed my water out of my nose when I read that. FUNNNNNYYYY
4:04 Yes you can force them to have a/c. If the state finds out you are not capable of taking care of herself, they will remove you from your home. It is up to the caregivers to report it, if they cannot handle the person.
Once the state takes you out of your home, the family cannot remove them from a nursing home withou breaking state laws.
Did you hear about the 2 year old that was murdered around Greenville. Fox4 News had a comment from somebody close to the family that said the father had been looking for the boy for months because the mother was hiding him from the father. And, that the mother of the child had dropped off the child a couple of weeks ago. The sheriff said it was severe blunt trauma and looked like long terms abuse too. This makes me sick!
I am amazed at how many folks posted negative comments about the hot chicks boobs. I am getting closer and closer to 50 years of age and can say without hesitation, THEM ARE SOME FINE LOOKING BOOBS!
I cried through the whole movie.
Yeah, but if you're close to 50 you think wal-mart coveralls are a perfect choice for daily outerwear. Go take a nap.
I like her boobs
I thought so 7:18. Seems to me the families of these 2 elderly individuals didn't give a rats a## about them or they would have been taken care of force or no force.
When one's parents become elderly kids are going to find out that sometimes they will fight you. You have to do what you have to do for the wellfare.
When my parents became to the point of not being able to care for themselves my family made sure they were no matter what.
Sorry to say but, someone needs to be responsible for this neglect.
