- A couple of other forecasts call for temperatures right at 100 on Friday and Saturday. Wouldn't it be a beating to go all this way towards the streak and then end up with a 99 degree day? This would become the cruelest of summers.
- New Census data just released: Hispanics, who showed the greatest numerical increases in the 2010 census, made up 38 percent of the state’s population, yet made up 51.3 percent of the population under 20. What do you think that number will be in 10 years once that under 20 crowd reproduces?
- And Texas becomes a Blue State at which point? 20 years? 10 years? Sooner?
- Want to see what a guy looks like who arrived at the new In-n-Out Burger in Fort Worth at 9:00 p.m. last night and slept on the pavement so he could be the first in line?
- Those rumblings about the Aggies moving to the SEC are getting loud. And when Gov. Perry said yesterday that "conversations have been had" about the move, he's either got inside information or is frighteningly reckless. (The latter is not the best presidential trait a man can have.)
- Wrong way driver in Arlington on I-20 last night sends two people to the hospital. No deaths.
- TBS is cancelling Lopez Tonight. I say this will full knowledge of how horrible Letterman and Leno have become: George Lopez is the worst talk show host in the history of talk show hosts.
- There is a Justice of the Peace in Wise County who I believe would be in huge trouble if anyone would simply run against her.
- I was thinking that the Cowboys working out indoors would hurt them in a hot weather game. But considering that they now play home games indoors, they only have to worry about road games, outdoors, played during the day. There are two in the early season: At San Francisco in September and at New England in October. So much for the heat.
- Funny line I heard about GOP Presidential candidate Mitt Romney: That albatross around his neck of wanting to provide health care to poor people while governor is really going to weigh him down.
- Ticket Fans: I've listened to the It's Just Banter podcast by T.C. and Jake for about six months and it's fantastic. The latest episode had them going off on Jean Jacques Taylor (he did push-ups in studio and was fond of over-sized jorts with a woven belt.)
- No dog news. Skyler is still around, and he really wants to get at the Family Cat so I'm liking him even more.
- The bagofnothing guy is in New York City. I wish I was in New York City.
- Idiocracy in my own home: I looked in the freezer the other day and saw "Pancakes and Sausage on a Stick."
- The DOW just opened up by 120 points. Betting that it stays in positive territory is as risky as investing in the stock market.

The guy who slept on the pavement from 9pm last night could have driven over to one of the Dallas locations, had a burger, and been back home by 10:30 in his own bed.
It's hard for me to believe that ANY of those late night talk shows are still on.
The format seems to be going the way of the daytime soap.
Or at least the English language daytime soaps... To latch on to another of your topics here today, the telenovela seems to be doing great.
Maybe "All My Children" should have gone Spanish language...
No one never runs against JP#1. It needs to happen!
Jan Morrow really needs to be booted out of her office, her lack of courtesy and anger about her own appearance henders her judgement as a judge.
AMEN BROTHER Barry to the JP observation. Can't wait to contribute to the campaign when someone does decide to run.
Apparently you had a rare day of removing your queer pants and putting on your man pants when picking the RT girl. She is HOT!!!
I am fully prepared to start putting up with liberals and the liberal media trying to destroy Perrys reputation. Let the lies and personal attacks begin.
Based on all the bashing of Shannon Stone and the motorcycle guy the other day I am also prepared to hear some very hateful things said about the wrong way driver in Arlington.
That is one beautiful woman!
I don't know which JP you are referring to, but I've done retail business with Terri Johnson several times and I find her to be a professional all the way. She's the only one I ever read about doing anything. She does the teen court, goes to training, gets called out late at night, etc....I just read where Teen Court isn't all it should be, but, hey, you're dealing with TEENS! Not always a reliable set of people, with even less reliable parents to make sure they do what they're supposed to do!
If "under 20" Hispanics took up 51.3 percent of the population in 2010 let's guess how many are getting some sort of free government assistance.
99.9% OF THEM! Prove me wrong.
Why doesn't the Federal Government have enough sense to see that flooding these people with free lifestyles is only contributing to the US financial problem?
Oh, and don't you worry you welfare whites and blacks, etc.
You are nothing but a part of the problem too.
I say cut off 95% of the ALL free government programs for 6 months just to see what happens.
Somebody will have to get a job and keep their legs closed.
There is no excuse why people can't find a job. NONE.
Terri Johnson is way over her head. A drunk monkey could do a better job.
Terri Johnson does a GREAT job!
Guy who slept on pavement for a 3 dollar burger? What. A. Winner.
The Aggies' move the SEC is 100% purely based on the penis envy they have towards Texas and all that the Longhorn Network brings.
This will pretty much seal their fate as a second-tier football program and a successful season will be a visit to the Motor City Bowl.
You have pancakes and sausage on a stick in your freezer...and your wife don't work. Way to put your foot down big man. Do you make breakfast for her before you leave each morning too you little nancy.
I find it interesting that A & M is the only one discussing the SEC. No one at the SEC has confirmed any discussions.
Makes me think that maybe A & M is just hoping that if they throw it out there enough, the SEC will invite them.
Let A & M leave. They would get their tails handed to them in the SEC. They are an also-ran in the Big 12.
BG, don't get me wrong, George Lopez is/was horrible. But, as talk shows go...
George Lopez > Magic Johnson
George Lopez > Chevy Chase
"George Lopez is the worst talk show host in the history of talk show hosts."
Chevy Chase and Magic Johnson called ans said you are muy loco.
Sincerely,
Double Fake George Lopez
What's wrong green...You didn't post my Terri Johnson post. You post all the racial crap on here but your skeered of a lil JP conflict? Speaks volumes of your character now doesn't it?
I say folks from California should go back and fix their state instead of coming over here andscrewin things up, takin our jobs, so on (and take in-n-out with 'em).
same thing with southerners, yanks, and oklahomers.
You need to stop assuming that all Hispanics will vote Democrat. A lot of them actually start voting Republican after they've lived here long enough (provided they aren't on government assistance....Barry, you seem almost giddy at the prospect of getting enough Hispanics on government assistance so they will forever be dependent on the Democratic Party).
As for George Lopez......the man was literally dying only a few years ago, and his wife saved him by donating her kidney to him.....he repaid her by having sex with numerous hookers!
8:58 is an idiot and doesn't know what he/she/it is talking about.
Pulling a percentage out of you a$$, proves you probably flap your gums to hear yourself talk.
The one hispanic you know doesn't represent all of them.
Keep eating your cheetos and check out.
What happened to the balls on that bull statue pictured on "The Daily News" front page?
Hmmmm....
There is a Justice of the Peace in Wise County who I believe would be in huge trouble if anyone would simply run against her.
OMG!!!! (JUMPING UP AND DOWN IN CHAIR CLAPPING MY HANDS TOGETHER)
Can I guess? Can I guess? Can I guess?
I don't have any data to back this up - just a gut feeling, but I would bet that the successive generations of Hispanics have fewer children than their parents. They assimilate into American culture, get better access to birth control, and realize that more mouths to feed usually equates to a lower quality of life for everyone in the family.
So, while their numbers will increase significantly, it probably won't be as much as the gloom-and-doomers are predicting
Lopez Tonight: did you never catch an episode of the mess that was The Magic Hour with Magic Johnson? Probably not, it lasted only eight weeks. Aw.ful.
Funny pic from the front page. But there's no way his dustpan is big enough for that cleanup job. He needs a snow shovel...or a snow plow!
"I wouldn't live in New York City (if they gave me the whole dang town)"
Triple Fake Buck Owens
Racial? Where is anything racial?
Ok, that dog and cat comment was pretty funny.
This is the first time I have ever commented on the girl ... OMG!
How about somebody run against ole Tom Constable. He REFUSES to drive a new pickup provided to him by the county. Dumb shit. Are there two drunk monkeys available for election?
Oh my, so many comments to make on today's post.
#1 The In-n-out burger goober - holy hell man, it's a frickin burger. Get a life.
#2 George Lopez - Most racial prick on the planet.
#3. Terri Johnson couldn't pour piss out of a boot with the instructions written on the heal.
#4. Sausage & Pancake on a stick---DAMN TASTY
The spouse and I (both life long Texans) are already planning where we would like to live based on such demongraphics. We are looking at Montana, the Dakotas, or even Iowa.
I nominate 8:58 for POTUS in 2012. Best post I've seen on this blog in a while. I agree with every word. Cut em off for 6 months or even a year, and see who decides to work for their food and shelter. If they end up in cardboard boxes or dead, that's ok by me.
Mr.LL - I was just recovering from that hot pic of Imogen Thomas and then you post this one today...I salute you while my you know what stand at attention.
From ESPN...
Perry was asked by reporters from the paper on Wednesday about recent swirling speculation surrounding the move.
"I'll be real honest with you. I just read about it the same time as y'all did. ... As far as I know, conversations are being had. That's frankly all I know. I just refer you to the university and the decision makers over there."
This is idiocracy, I am not defending Perry as a candidate, but he was not being reckless at all when he mentioned the SEC talks. The news of the talks was already public!
Well Since Terri Johnson has Had someone run against her before we all should know you arent talking about her but about Jan Marrow, Yes you are right someone needs to run against her and get her out of office. I have to deal with them quiet a bit in my line of work and everyone in the office is RUDE!!!! Just a week or so ago I had to call over there to get some info and they got there panties in a wag when I proved them wrong and slammed the phone down! I love it when I can prove them wrong!
love the caller on Mark Davis. He's black telling us about how the black folk operate. HE ROCKS
How did the piss get in the boot? We probably don't want to know that much about your personal life if you have had to pour piss out of a boot.
I can only think of one JP that has had several elections roll around with no opponent. I've been saying she needs to be gone for years.
What do you need to do to run against this JP? (serious question)
That's funny, I looked at my ass in the mirror the other day and saw "Pancakes and Sausage on a Stick."
"99.9% of all hispanics under 20 are on government assistance." What a bunch of horseshit.
I agree with ideas about making it tougher to get a free ride, but that statment is a bit much.
Re:aTm. If Aggy wants to move out, quit threatening and do it. Have fun with that, Ags. You have a cushy deal in the Big12-2. You won't in the SEC.
Good pic today.
Where's bacon scale this am? If he gives this one less than perfect he has queer pants on.
If you click on someone's avatar their comment is hidden and you don't have to see their idiocy. It works whether they are anonymous or not.
Billy Joe Sanchez - *click*
9:15 I like your thinking.
SEC would love additional exposure in Houston area market.
Come on 90 degrees, don't want the record for heat, std's or eating shit sandwiches.
"Pancakes and sausage on a stick" Even more terrible than it sounds- it's terribleness is terrible.
When you read the 'Nutrition Facts' information it says,"Really? Are you being for real?"
One issue with Romney's "universal healthcare" plan in Massachusetts is that it didn't work. All of the objections and predictions raised in the argument against Obamacare manifested themselves in reality. Romney's plan didn't cover as many as it was supposedly going to cover; actual costs exceeded estimates by billions of dollars; government bureaucracy caused massive delays and impediments to actually receiving medical care; insurance premiums increased; and MA citizens have less choice in their coverage than they had before.
Plus government-mandated insurance violates Conservative principles, and an unsuccessful record should count against a candidate. (See "Obama, Barack.") Any questions?
seems that there are a few jealous people on here bashing Mrs LL, seems Mr LL is doing exactly what a man is supposed to do, TAKE CARE OF HIS FAMILY. Good for Mrs LL for finding a real man.
Prove they are not Humpo.
Come on you can do it.
FYI I don't have to prove I'm right. You have to prove me wrong.
"TBS is cancelling Lopez Tonight. I say this will full knowledge of how horrible Letterman and Leno have become: George Lopez is the worst talk show host in the history of talk show hosts."
Worser than Chevy Chase? I cringe just having to recall that fiasco to ask the question.
9:19 Good gawd I've hit the idiot load today. LMAO
One hispanic. LMFAO WEEELLY???
Psssttt..... You have no clue do you. hehehehe
Prove me wrong.
I just don't the hatred out there for others who just not exactly like you, (white angry Republicans) even if everyone was just as great as you, what would you do with all your extra time. So enjoy that there are others out there to give the paranoid angry folks something to complain about. Happy happy joy joy
johnson is always available and professional
Jan Marrow can run circles around Terri Johnson any day of the week and twice on sunday.
On Dec 21 2012, there will be population shrinkage like no other...
I am very conservative. The Hispanics I know are also very conservative. And I know a lot of Hispanics.
johnson needs to go but with all the special things done for the areas with deep pockets in her area nobody else could run a race and win with out tons of money and the job dosent pay that much makes one wonder about her and why she spends so much to hold onto the office
" The man can't catch a break." There's a man in that suit?
Pancake and sausage on a stick is All American. What planet are you from?
How in the world do Democrats and Liberals complain about the rich "not paying their fair share" of taxes but fail to see that 1/2 of the American public (welfare recips, etc.) don't pay any?
It's so stupid!
By George I think I figured it out!
Democrats and Liberals are not very bright.
If a D/L was working (I know, I know - hard to imagine) in a store and a thief came in and stole something right in front of them all the D/L would do was smile a goofy smile and give the thief more stuff (cuz they be feeling sorry for the thief) then start singing....Oh Happy Happy Joy Joy......
Two days later, cuz that thief found him a sucker; he shows back up and robs the D/L again. This time the thief pulls out a gun and blows the D/L's head off.
It was a sad sad day in Dumbville. Those poor Dems and Libs just can't catch a break.
Meanwhile, across town a Republican/Conservative gets robbed and calls 911 to say, "Come get this sorry no good thief who just tried to rob me before he bleeds to death all over my darn floor.
College football is all about the greenbacks these days. Just remove any remaining shred of charade of amateur athletics & dissolve the conferences (Big East, Big 12, Big Ten, PAC-10, etc). Form all the tier one football programs into the NCL - National College League. Break it into regional divisions whose winners advance through the old bowl playoff games to a national championship game that moves around the nation like the Super Bowl. Just don't try to sell me this student-athlete crap anymore. It's all professional now at the collegiate level. Just admit it & get on with life.
My Other Brother Darryl
I know a lot of Hispanics. Hispanics are friends of mine and you sir are no Hispanic!
Inspector, that was pretty good. It reminds me of the story about global warming.
When times are good, people worry if the polar bears will have enough glacier ice to live on, and if manmade global warming is causing all the arctic ice to melt, and if the bears are going to drown.
When times are bad, they wonder what polar bear meat tastes like.
When times are good, people worry if the polar bears will have enough glacier ice to live on, and if manmade global warming is causing all the arctic ice to melt, and if the bears are going to drown.
For years, Democrats were saying that times are not good. Yet they still care about Americans, education, health care, and even polar bears.
Tea Party yokels are just now figuring it out, and in their temper tantrum could only make maters worse by having the US credit ranking downgraded. Hell, they wanted a default completely, because they weren't getting their way.
Spoiled little babies. They will assure Obama's victory.
Rage
#1 Wordkyle Fan
YOU rock as always!
The anonymous flibbertigibbet's remarks are unsurprising, and an illustration of how next year's campaign will go. The stronger Conservatives/Republicans/the Tea Partiers get, the nastier the rhetoric Democrats will use. By the time November '12 rolls around, expect them to be absolutely frothing with venom overflow.
By the way, Democrats themselves are wishing they had picked Hillary.
Rage, Can you give one example of where liberal weenieism has worked?
I can, it works in Decatur, Rhome, Chico, and any other place that has a volunteer fire dept.
The aggies should shoot the finger at the sips, as should the sooners and everyone else. Let the sips go and be an independent on espn, kind of a fighting Irish type deal with CBS (I think). It not envy, its about marketing a different brand than just being the other team in Texas. Come and play in the SEC instead of going to Texas, which will be playing about 2 or 3 good teams a year because nobody wants to deal with them and their arrogance. The espn deal is is an example of the sips maximizing their revenue at the expense of the big 12, so why should any school with a brand contribute to their marketing by agreeing to play them. They are just going to come at your backside later.
IM WITH THE INSPECTOR
2:45, I don't think anyone cares if someone making 12 grand a year does not pay. It is when Exxon and their billions don't pay, when the worker bee like most of us are , have to pay. Same goes for companies like American who take paycuts off the backs of the workers, then give management bonuses, and snowjob voters into paying their water, sewer, etc. or they threaten to move work to Kansas City.
What is going on in Rhome with writing tickets instead of warnings, on the council agenda? Are they broke? Are the double wide debutaunt's complaining about each others pink flamingos?
SOMEONE PLEASE RUN AGAINST DANNY WHITE!!!!!!!
6:08, Now if we could just get Obammy to institute a volunteer fire department for the rest of the country and that be the only responsibility for the government, I could get behind weenieism. But you see,ya'll want big government to be your nanny from cradle to grave. Got any other examples?
Jan Morrow runs a great office and is very professional in all she does. Professionalism would not be something you understand Mr. Green by the pictures you have to post to get someone to look at your Blog. She is a seasoned Judge that runs her office by the rules and regulations prescribed by the state of Texas. You could learn a few things from her about being ethical.
623 - The head of Barack Obama's "Jobs Council" is Jeffrey Immelt, CEO of GE. GE made $14.2 billion in profit last year and paid no taxes. Apple and Google maintain their business overseas to avoid paying income taxes. So when Obama is condemning "Exxon" or other big oil companies for their profits, remember who he has sitting at his dinner table.
(By the way, all the loopholes, deductions, etc. were established by the same federal government whose representatives now criticize those companies for using them.)
7:51
I like the pictures Barry posts, haven't seen one of Jan Morrow but would probably like that one too with the right attire.
7:51 NO NO NO NO NO NO right attire
It ain't the twenty plus bunch that runs the kid count up,it's the fifteen to twenty group.Mexicans in Mexico are having smaller families now;here they are about five plus.They don't pay them by the baby over there just we stupid bastards here.
Not true 8:04. Companies like AA bully cities into paying for their infastructure or they will "lose work". In reality, they just move it around the system and then claim an victory for the city they bully when unsuspecting voters but into it. The working class pay for it. You will be paying for GE's new locomotive facility at AFW also.
5:34 It also works on the 40+ Million on food stamps.
6:23 How many of those folks claiming to make a low income do you think are committing fraud in order to avoid paying taxes?
And, how many people living off the government do you think are committing fraud?
A dollar is a dollar is a dollar that can quickly add up.
Probably all military retirees.
The people claiming to make a low income arent hurting the middle class like some CEO's are.
The "hispanics" you know are probably Cuban.
Prove me wrong.
Uhhh no 10:53 and I can prove it.
Trust me.
