Random Monday Morning Thoughts



  • 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.

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

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!

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?

Gary the Graboid said...

"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.

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.

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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Anonymous said...

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.

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 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.
