Random Friday Morning Thoughts


  • Big news this morning that the "public face" of al qaeda, Anwar al-Awlaki, was killed after a secret operation in Yemen. He was born, by the way, in that hotbed of terrorism: New Mexico, U.S.A.
  • I had never heard of him. 
  • Humbling experience last night with the Softball Team. After an inning an a half, my pitcher's wheels had fallen off, and we also went an unusual three-up/three-down at the plate. The scoreboard read 10-0. Who came up with that saying, "All responsibility lands at the feet of the coach"?
  • Mrs. LL didn't get to see the game meltdown because an officer of the law was questioning her driving a quarter mile away. (No ticket. Amazing.)
  • President Obama is coming to Dallas next week and will deliver a speech at Eastfield College. Wait. Eastfield College? If we could have had the Wise County campus of Weatherford College finished by now, we could have hosted that gig.
  • A 4:07 start time for the Rangers today will be used as an excuse for a lot of people to sneak off from work.
  • Tons of people in Arlington this weekend. In addition to two Rangers playoffs games, the Aggies and Razorbacks play at the Death Star on Saturday, and the Cowboys have a home game on Sunday.
  • So why did the Decatur Eagles play a home game on a Thursday night? I understand playing one on the road against a school that has to share its home stadium with other schools, but a home game here?
  • Houston cops allegedly eat marijuana brownies, on purpose, after a drug bust. Awesome.
  • That lightening storm last night was brief, but it was a big time show. (Great picture of downtown Dallas last night.)
  • Rangers pitcher C.J. Wilson is absolutely unlikable. I challenge you to listen to one extended interview with him and come away thinking, "He's a really solid, down-to-earth guy."
  • I have no memory of Christina McLarty who used to work for Channel 11 News, who married the Girls Gone Wild guy, and is now dating David Arquette. But she sounds like a funster.
  • The Wise County wreck victim from yesterday died. But what an unusual first name: Juanathan
  • Wichita Falls had a drug bust this weekend which led to 40 arrests. All the mugshots are in one place. I don't believe for one second that the demographic breakdown of drug users in Wichita Falls matches that composite.

I noticed that 31 of the Wichita Falls drug busters were niggers.

the forty people arrested for drugs in WF isn't a composite - those are the actual people that were dumb enough to get caught using/selling. If you're referring to the ethnic/gender breakdown of the "victims", it may or may not be representative. But folks who use drugs, and get arrested for that behavior, aren't elected to the position. They're volunteers

Rangers' pitcher CJ Wilson is a flake, there's no doubt about that. He's had that rep since the get-go. He has settled down some since becoming a starter, but most fans (coaches, teammates) don't care as long as he wins ballgames
GOOOOOOOOO RAAAAANGERRRRRRRRRRSSSS!

You seem abnormally obsessed with figuring out the Thursday night varsity game conundrum. Why not just find out who makes up the schedule an-ax-em?

I'm not sneaking off...there really is something at home that needs to be taken care of. Honest! The game starts at four?!? I did not know that

Seriously, you have never heard of Anwar al-Awlaki? Where do you get your news, or lack thereof, from? You would be great on that Geico commercial where the guys live under a rock.

Reason for Decatur Thurs. night game: Not that DISD has any money, but the DISD supt. is being inducted as Pres. of Texas Superintendents Association in Austn. DISD is taking aprox 70 students, along with admin. and wives and board memebers to Austin for this big event. WONDER WHO IS PAYING FOR THIS?WONDER HOW MANY DAYS THE SUPT WILL BE GONE FROM DISTRICT DURING THIS YEAR?

The Devil said...

Most good pitchers are a little off, it comes with the position. Sometimes they are a little unlikeable like CJ, others are are a powder keg like Carlos Zambrano, and then you have the clowns like Brian Wilson. In all, it makes the game a little more interesting--these guys are are just a notch below NFL wide receivers for emotional stability!

More cops should partake in the tweed, maybe they wouldn't be such diksacks.

Is there a grassy knoll at Eastfield? We couldn't be that lucky...

Drug bust...Nah, it's just too damned easy.

The Wichita Falls composite wouldn't necessarily match the demographic breakdown of drug USERS...just drug DEALERS. I would assume all dealers are users, but not all users are dealers.

Anonymous said...

Well if you don't think the demographic of WF drug users matches those mug shots, you could be right. BUT, if you were to read the caption you would see that those busted were drug DEALERS. And that demographic is far more believable. A huge segment of America's black population chooses to deal drugs rather than work.

Those mug shots prove you don't have to be black to be a nigger

But it does increase your chances apparently

Skit Shivins said...

Some studies have suggested that all races and ethnic groups use narcotics at the same rate. It is also pretty clear that minorities are over represented among those arrested for trafficking in narcotics. Some in the news media have implied that these two facts together amount to proof that police are biased against minorities. Perhaps that is where you were headed with your comment this morning.

There is; however, a difference between using and trafficking. Law enforcement agencies target persons who sell drugs, not those who use them. That is not to say that persons who are caught with small quantities of drugs are never prosecuted, it is just that police do not specifically target them. To my knowledge there are no studies that indicate persons of all races and ethnic groups engage in drug trafficking at the same rate and in my experience it is pretty clear that they do not.

Personally, I think it is awesome that DISD moved football to make way for kids who have talents in the arts. This does involve many athletes who can do other things than just play a sport. Who woulda thunk it here in Decatur. I say, Hooray. We are showcasing our other assets, and believe me, we have talented kids in this district!
I don't always agree with the decisions in the district as I am an employee, but this is awesome.

In regards to WF drug bust, I have not seen the racial foot print of a city so change since the Chico 1983 (all black)cross country running team were arrested. They were charged with theft. The reason being if they hadn't stole something they wouldn't have been running.

So I guess Wichita falls is out of Niggers. Maybe the ones in Decatur could move there. Jus sayin.

Aaaaaah, did the composite offend your total denial of the criminal population demographic?

If it had anything to do with the student's talents, I would be for it too. But it's really all about getting our Supt. some attention. Manipulative!!

Barry,Barry!!! He is the one the fort Hood shooter had been in contact with.Don't you read anything but the Index? They can take out the ones that preach hate in America also and that includes your presidents.
I'm surprised i did not see my nephew's photo in the dope bust but he can't sell; he uses it up too fast and he is white.I'll bet he knows more of them than any of them knows their own father.

Juanathan was a former student of mine. Very nice young man. Sad for his family.

I agree, the students and faculty involved in the TASA production did an incredible job representing Decatur ISD. This production combined a very broad variety of students, showcased Decatur in a classy way, and what better way to usher our superintendent into the state's association! Decatur ought to be proud to have a superintendent involved in our state's associations. It's better to be involved than to bury your head in the sand.

Barry those arrest were made months ago, not this weekend.

6:49 It had nothing to do with a manipulative superintendent. It has been a tradition for YEARS for the incoming President of the organization to bring the opening act to kick off the conference. Our students and their teachers got to bring their A game and show leaders from across the state why we are so proud of our talented DISD kids. I was in the room as our children brought 5000 people to their feet. I was there as literally hundreds of people rushed to tell our school leaders what an amazing performance our kids had. I was there as I watched our school board, our Superintendent and the parents wipe their eyes with pride. I was there to see 75 students gleam with pride because they knew they had "nailed it" with their performance. All involved represented our community quite well. Did they make our suoerintendent look good?? They made our school district, their teachers and our ENTIRE COMMUNITY look good!!!
