- That Michael Jackson audio released yesterday in the criminal trial of his former doctor was creepy and shocking. (Audio with transcript here.) It didn't sound like him. At all.
- But that's nothing but a showboating-Hollywood-prosecution-for-TV trial.
- My DWI trial wore me out yesterday. (And TV would not have been interested.) We finish up this morning after the decision was made late yesterday to not have my client testify. That's a decision I normally don't recommend or support. (I'm unconventional in that practice.) We'll see.
- Odd: I've got a former DWI client on the jury.
- For some reason, the conservative media outlets were all giddy about Chris Christie last night expecting that he might announce or give a major clue that he will enter the GOP race. Do you guys even know what you want?
- NBC Nightly News had a graphic last night that showed what the presidential polling results were exactly four years ago: Republican Rudolph Giuliani and Democrat Hillary Clinton had overwhelming leads. We've got a long way to go.
- News item all over the place yesterday: DFW has some of the most congested traffic in the nation. I'm shocked.
- Jacksboro man dead in Parker County crash.
- The young driver of the vehicle which crashed and killed four in Wise County this summer was not "drunk" according to the Messenger today. (His blood test revealed .03). He's out not of the woods yet. Trust me, they'll try to prosecute him under some theory.
- The Rangers start the playoffs on Friday and they don't know if they'll play either Boston or Tampa Bay in Arlington, or if they'll play the Yankees in New York?

The Rangers are 52-27 since July 1st. That is "how baseball go". They are only 2 games behind the Yankees for best overall record in the AL. Admit it Barry, you missed the boat on this one.

Good job today BG
This morning's RT girl is absolutely killin' it. One of the best I've seen in a while.
"He's out not of the woods yet."
Terrible at syntax you are!

Looks like daddy slipped a little in Florida. Herman Cain (or token black)is in the race just to show everyone that Negroes are ok, that the dislike for Obama isn't about race (sure it isn't)
Us Guys do know what we want. Obamie out
"The conservative media outlets were all giddy about Chris Christie..." All of them? You sure about that? I've got no problem with Christie entering the race. Not that I think he's a particularly good candidate, but because I think he'd add another element to the Republican primaries that will strengthen the eventual winner. Let's see how the candidates handle surprises, attacks and adversity. This is that "vetting" process that was skipped over with Barack Obama.
What do Republicans/Conservatives want? The strongest candidate who can a) Defeat Barack Obama, and b) Do the best job to revitalize the country. Is there any question that on every front -- the economy, foreign policy, confidence in America, confidence in the future -- that Obama has been an absolute catastrophe? If nothing else, it would be nice to have a President who doesn't act like he's ashamed to be an American.
Wow! How did the prosecution not use a strike to keep your former DWI client off the jury? Did you get your cousin, ex-wife, Brock and the Family Cat on the jury too? Powerful lawyering, Barry.

Do you guys even know what you want?
Yes we do. Anything but Obama.
Lots of people on the roads today who are intoxicated because of drugs, not alcohol...print the whole thing, his blood is being sent to the lab to test for drugs. My guess is, it will come back positive for something that would impair his ability to operate a motor vehicle. Really, your readers aren't as dumb as you think.
They might try prosecuting the young driver on the fact that he's under 21 and had alcohol in his blood.
Is it ethical for you to talk about a case you are trying DURING the trial in a public forum? I know jurors aren't supposed to look at news media about the case but I wonder if some unsuspecting (after all a blog is technically NOT news) juror might be a follower of your blog ... and I wonder if YOU thought about that when you wrote about it. Next trend in trial law: Jurors see my blog if you want to know about stuff I can't, or won't, tell you in court.
Odd: I've got a former DWI client on the jury.
Why would that be odd? I am sure you picked him and he got off for some reason. Should help your case this time.
Isn't just horrible that we can all come on here and have fun talkin about stuff and then Wordcult has to start throwin in Political stuff like WTF cares at all.
Will you ever get it that we don't like it and you're not a Political analyst or anything important?
a) Defeat Barack Obama, and b) Do the best job to revitalize the country
Glad to see your priorities are in the right place.
a President who doesn't act like he's ashamed to be an American.

1010 - Do a little research and discover how little anonymous opinions of me matter to me. If you don't like reading what I write, then don't read what I write. Or is that kind of responsibility too much for you?
10:10 I for one am very honored to have Wordkyle on here because I like to hear actual facts instead of fiction like most of you spew.
fbi, dea in jacksboro yesterday??? drug sweep of motorcycle gang.......
Good luck beating Kelly Brook as the random girl of the day. You may have broke it.
How about the theory that he was passing in a no passing zone, was reckless and killed people. I believe that is reason enough to prosecute.
Call me an old fashioned Tea Party racist but I want to see Herman Cain as our next President. We've already had a token nigger as President and we all see how that worked out for us. Give me a business man that has created jobs, understands how government regulations and mandates and high taxes kill business as opposed to a radical 60's communist community organizer that wants to kill business. YES WE CAIN
American Airlines considering Bankruptcy. DFW is screwed.
If 10:10's comments don't matter to you Wordklye, why did YOU respond to them?
It is so obvious how thin skinned you are to criticism.
Go back and read some of your responses on previous posts.
You can do it. It's called "research"!
10:10:
Apparently you didn't see the political comments Barry made on his blog this morning. Wordkyle was simply responding to his blog like we all do.
You really showed your ignorance with your comment. Like wordkyle said: If you don't like what he writes, DONT'T READ IT!
gern blansten
Does anyone else want to explain why, in my 9:11 comment, point (a) came before point (b)? It apparently escaped some folks.
1148 - You really, really hurt my feelings with your anonymous post. With remarks like that you're gonna force me to quit speaking up for the Conservative cause.
I'm totally SICK of hearing about politics and sports both. There are other things in life to discuss besides these two boring topics!
Funny thing about Obama being in such bad shape "approval rating" wise. He currently has a 41% approval rating (which is bad), but G.W. had a 36% approval rating at this point in 2007.
We cannot compare G.W.'s first term to Obama's first term due to Bush riding high on Clinton's economy when coming in and then the war on terror that made him look like a hero (whether he was or not is mute)
This means.... Basically our Presidents blow and anyone that is currently vying for the top spot seem to be made out of the same fabric. (except for the odd ball R. Paul)
I also appreciate what Wordkyle does here. Funny how facts really piss off the left. All the lefties on here spout their opinions as though they are facts but Wordkyle actual presents facts with his opinions.
yes, we want obama OUT.
That is all.
Remote you just keep spinning that looser mindset you Democrats and Liberals have.
Good gawd you people need to learn the definition of PHYSICAL RESPONSIBILITY. It's a shame how sorry you people were raised.

Word Kyle fact
Gern Blanstin blow it out your Asstin.
"1148 - You really, really hurt my feelings with your anonymous post."
So I'll find your name under wordkyle in the Lubbock phone book?
156 - If I had a phone, and if my number was listed, and if that was the right phone book, then...yes, you would.
By the way, you're probably trying to say there's no difference between posting under a screen name and posting anonymously. My credibility rests not only on each comment I make, but on the hundreds of comments I've made here over the years. Longtime readers may or may not know my name, but they know who I am.
Anons, on the other hand, have no credibility at all except what they put into their comments. Empty comments, low credibility.
1:04, give me Bush's approval ratings during his 2nd term and match them up to his predecessor or his following president. I am actually, extremely fiscally conservative and I am not on the side of any moderate or liberal democrat. Also it was Clinton's regime under a republican controlled congress that gave us a good economy.
I am sorry you have faith in the past (G.W.) that didn't actually exist (It was not a happier time). But get real, there is not a difference between G.W. and Obama... Really there isn't (economically/federal control wise).
If you are a true conservative then you should be lambasting every single candidate out there... They are all moderates.
Oh wait I forgot.... They play the religious role this time of the campaign trail so it can suck people like you in.
1:56, The best way to hurt a liberal weenies thenthitive feelings is to hit them with facts. You best stop reading the conservative's posts on here or your going to have to pay your therapist overtime.
12:32, I am sure that there is a Lifetime Channel and a Cooking Channel blog on the internet that you would feel more comfortable in participating in. Just make the effort to find it and go on with your pathetic life.
"My credibility rests not only on each comment I make, but on the hundreds of comments I've made here over the years. Longtime readers may or may not know my name, but they know who I am."
Ohhhh, I get it now! You're internet famous!
My mistake. I will mail my apology to:

327 - Riiiggghhhtt. Y'know, I appreciate your fascination with me, it's very flattering -- but you do realize that we can never be more than friends, right?
3:27
Stop acting like Stu Pidass and man up(or woman up if that is the case) and post something with substance instead of just attacking another poster.
Remote nice try but I am in no way religous. Only weak minded people fall for that junk.
OMG!! Wordkyle IS Mzchief!!
His comments here seal that deal for me!
Pretty "strange" person (skitzo?) who portrays different personalities.
And, by the way, screen names ARE just as anonymous as "anonymous."
In both "names" one's true identity is just as unknown.
Get over yourself, 5:26.
I would think an attorney's former client would be disqualified from that jury. Without the prosecutor having to use a strike. Just asa I would think the arresting officer's mother would be DQ'ed without the use of a defense strike.
And Manslaughter still fits if he was indeed reckless... it is just a matter of filing the right charge...better to do it right than rush it and give the defense ammo, I believe.
526 - Google "Liberally Lean" and "anonymous" and let us know if your results reflect the same person's comments every time.
And if you had seen some of the pitched battles MzC and I had years ago, you'd know we are most definitely not the same person.
And all of this is irrelevant anyway. Folks either read comments here -- mine and others -- and give them some thought, or they don't. Personal attacks don't make your comments any more credible.
Wordkyle needs to practice some Physical Responsibility, obviously.
Remote,
Bush did inherit a recession from Clinton. Oddly enough. Clinton reigned during one of the most boisterous economic periods in the history of the US, with many new SECTORS being created. And yet he left with negative economic growth.
Bill Gates had more to do with the econ expansion than Bill Clinton.
This is not to defend Bush. He was at least as progressive as Clinton, though in different ways.
IOW, both sucked. But Obama is in a different class. Spending like Bush, Regs like Wilson or FDR or LBJ. If he gets four more years, it will take decades for the US, and possibly the global economy to recover.
Therefore, anyone but Obama. As a country, under current tax law, current regulations, we cannot compete with the world economically. That is probably what Obama wants. Redistribution of wealth. He is doing it on a global scale.
6:34 - right on......right on!..the guy is in love with himself!
The only person running on the republican ticket that even makes me a little nervous about challenging President Obama is Romney. Any of the other candidates will not stand a chance. Even I, a left winger to the max, would consider him as a viable candidate. So please go Perry, Bachman, and Cain! My dream is for the Tea Party to pick the Rep candidate! Cause the rest of the country has a more balanced agenda. Obama 12!!!
833 - You're right, but wrong. The Tea Party has more strong opposition than strong support (barely.) Given the pounding the Tea Party has taken in the media, that's to be expected. (How many people still believe Tea Partiers spit on black congressmen and called them the n-word?) So in that sense, you're right.
However, more Americans identify with Conservative political ideology than any other. That means that more Americans agree with the Tea Party stance on issues -- their agenda, if you will.
Moreover, which group is it that's energized and enthusiastic about next year's election? It ain't Democrats, that's for sure. Here's what Politico wrote about what Democrats have to look forward to in 2012: "Now, resigned to the likelihood that the president will be a down-ballot drag in many races and absent signs of an electoral wave on the horizon, Democrats are scaling back their expectations." Ol' Professor Hopenchange ain't lookin' so good.
@ CT... get over myself? huh? You make absolutely no sense at all.
WordKyle: :-) ... I have been here for years! I know the weakness of Mzchief and I also understand tone and style of a personality. The very fact that you and Mzchief "pitched battles" against one another only proves how "skitzo" you are! You worked hard to pattern your move from one to the other. Very few people might catch on to your scheme. Alas...you are crystal to me! Mzchief, Wordkyle and hmmm... I believe a few others.
Here this: "Tracks never change - once a lion.. always a lion!"
I've got your tracks!
5:26 yor AWESOME,Catfish? Hell I forgot my post, Thank You Thank You, and Thank You Barry for allowing it to go through, boys and girls AMR will NEVER go under the first Dad that has to drive 13 hours w/ a Wife and 3 tricycle motors WILL fly again and the goverment will NEVER let the Airline Industry fail, relax and vote the Chimp and Bishop out of office
915 - Yours may be the funniest comment I've seen on here in a long time. I'll just say this: anyone with the know-how of how to track IP addresses can determine if I post under anything other than my nom de screen. Thanks again -- I always appreciate a good laugh.
YOU GO WORDKYLE
same person, watch catfish. Mindshift
AMR = Pan Am ...bye bye
Good luck beating Kelly Brook as the random girl of the day. You may have broke it.

Did somebody say beating Kelly LeBrock?
DF Steven Segal
Wordy, you have such wrath for anons. Ok, is that really YOUR picture? If not, then you are about as anon as the rest of us.
Hypocrite!
"Wrath"? That assigns weigh too much importance to what I actually think about posting anonymously.
Real quickly, in all seriousness: Anons can post whatever nonsense they want, without any repercussions whatsoever. The stupid, vile racist comments are a prime example. They fade back into the dark after every drive-by comment. By using a consistent screen name, commenters bring to the table the weight of what they've said before. Readers who have been around a while may agree or disagree, but they know where you're coming from. (That was the point of my comment at 2:59.) The added history carries with it the price of having to support what you say in order to be considered credible.
Your comments are well taken Wordkyle, but I defend those of us who post anonymously. You don't live in Wise County around friends and neighbors, thus none of your comments would offend or embarrass our citizens. I do not defend as you put it, "stupid, vile racist comments" either, but many anons do not post such. I consider myself one of those.
Many post here to merely give an opinion or an observation. Some may be school board members, teachers or public servants who just need to vent, but appreciate not having to give their names.
I appreciate Barry allowing us the priviledge of posting here.
1146 - And your points are well taken. My comments were not meant to be an indictment of all anonymous posts. Various legitimate reasons exist for posting anonymously. The anonymous knuckleheads know who they are.
1:58, no, the anonymous posters are called knuckleheads by you, Wordkyle, because they've got you figured and you don't like that. Yes, various legit reasons exist for posting anonymously and that is just concurred by your statement above. So, how do you differentiate who are the knuckleheads and who are not unless it is by your judgement and those who annoy you.... well, they must be the knuckleheads who have no business posting anonymously.
You are ridiculous!
