- Muammar Gaddafi was reportedly captured this morning and then came reports that he was dead. I've never heard so many U.S. media outlets "confirm" the report but with caveats. Here's the first picture of his capture -- I mean, it might be authentic.
- Edit: Yep. Dead. Finally some justice for the attempted murder of Doc Brown in 1985 in the parking lot of the Twin Pines Mall.
- Rick Perry gave a speech yesterday and ended it with a (forced) "Let's Roll!" Who is advising this guy?
- And Perry will throw a Hail Mary next week by proposing a flat tax system. If you are in the lower half of income earners, I bet the flat tax would cost you more.
- The obituary of the young Paradise girl says she was an organ donor that has "helped save 12 other lives".
- Another interesting note from the obituary: "The family has requested casual dress for Ashlie’s friends at the funeral, particularly camouflage." Someone will know the story behind that.
- Baylor's women's basketball coach on whether they will continue to play the Aggies: "If a man wants to divorce me and says our relationship has no value to him, and then he asks me if he can sleep with me, the answer is, 'No,'" Kim Mulkey said. "We're not going to play them any more because they decided that playing us was not important to them."
- After the exotic animal escape yesterday, I threw out a "Could it happen here?" post. Well so did WFAA who not only mentioned the sanctuary in Boyd but the one in Bridgeport as well which holds 35 tigers.
- World Series notes: I didn't know that a foul on an attempted bunt with two strikes counts as an out. I did know that a ball can hit foul territory and still end up fair.
- I present a "Hey, Now" acceptable to both genders (or, I guess, orientation.) It's somebody named Joe Manganiello and female companion.
- Eight people, most under 30 years old, were arrested in another drug roundup yesterday in the metroplex. The new U.S. Attorney used it for publicity and commended the "DEA, the Fort Worth Police Department, the Tarrant County district attorney's office narcotics unit, the Internal Revenue Service -- criminal investigation, the Parker County Sheriff's Office and the North Richland Hills Police Department." Sheesh. How much tax money has been spent, and will be spent, on this?
- Anyone ever been to the Alliance Air Show? (It's free but parking is $20). Is there any reason to go on the grounds? Wouldn't some people just sit in the Bass Pro Shop parking lot?
- A Wichita Falls bail bondsman was arrested on child sexual assault charges. If there's any alleged offense we need to withhold judgment on, it's that kind. Remember the Watauga dentist from a few years back?

Would not be able to see the show if you were at bass pro. It's in grapevine
Rick Perry never met a lobbyist he didn’t like and as soon as some of the tax prep/CPA groups get hold of him, he’ll change his ways. He’s just pandering. He knows he couldn’t get that run through anyway.
At the air show, if you go in, they have a ton of planes parked. Some you can even go in and look around.
I like the both gender Hey Now today. Do it often please. We women are feeling left out.
Bass Pro Shop is a little far away, How about sitting in the Cabela's parking lot since it is right accross the highway...
Do you mean the Cabela's parking lot? Cabela's is near Alliance airport while Bass Pro is near DFW airport.
Why would people park at Bass Pro Shops in Grapevine for the air show at Alliance? Oh wait, I bet they would park at Cabela's.
WOW! Those red and black straps have to be strong...maybe made from Titanium.
You are welcome to sit in the Bass Pro lot, but you would not see anything, since the closest is Grapevine. I know what store you meant tho......
Random girl looks like Hayden Panettiere in 10 years. Either one is doable.
Joe Manganiello is one of a minority who can look like that without steroids. At least that is what he claims.
I like big girls.
Has anyone mentioned that you got the wrong sporting goods store yet?
Good for the organ donor.
I could have sworn Rick Perry's son was an accountant, hired by the firm that does the work for the company for which he was stealing our land for the Trans-Texas Corridor...
Rage
It's a Cabela's, not a Bass Pro Shop... But, yes. A lot of people park outside the grounds to watch the flight demonstrations. A reason to go inside the grounds is to actually poke around some of the aircraft, meet some pilots, etc.
I would love to see the lower half of income earners start paying their fair share of taxes. I wonder if they will complain when Obammycare, The VAT tax, and all the other hidden taxes he pushes through starts effecting their lives?
Rage, You've come to the right county to live in if you like big girls. There is only one problem. They don't like girlie men.
Sheesh. How much tax money has been spent on this and will be spent on this? Probably a lot less than the 540 million that was given to Obammy's cronies for the Solyndra debacle.
"And Perry will throw a Hail Mary next week by proposing a flat tax system. If you are in the lower half of income earners, I bet the flat tax would cost you more."
Perhaps not.
I bet if my employer had to pay less in taxes, and had more disposable income, that he would give me a raise and I would have more disposable income myself.
Such a shame liberals can't comprehend that kind of logic!

This girl is hot.
Please quit telling us about your lack of sports knowledge.... it gives us too much ammunition for why your sports opinions have no value
9:22- Hahahahaha, you really think when a company gets a lot more money they pass it to the employees, proportionately? Seriously, seriously..... Seriously?
Only small businesses will do that (sort of) but they will not get the windfall that corporations will.
It isn't really our tax system that drives companies to reduce costs and move things over seas. It is the consumer and their desire for crappy products at a dirt cheap price.
Here's a novel idea for you wonderful people who are so jealous of corporations that you think that it is YOUR business to tell said corporation what it should and should pay it's managers, officers, etc.
OPEN YOUR OWN CORPORATION!
How dare you petty losers think you should control any public corporation that is not yours.
We have one Democrat who works in our office and has been here 12 years. He continually complains if anybody else gets paper, folders, paper clips, a new chair, a piece of gum, etc. and he doesn’t get the same thing at the same time. It is awful to work with him. Nobody can stand to be around him. He’s incapable of doing anything on his own either. He expects everyone to baby him. The worse part of his complaining is when the president or vice president, who are the owners get something. The president drove an old truck that had over 300,000 miles on it and that kept breaking down. It got to the point where it was costing more to repair the truck than what it was worth so the president/owner had to buy another one. Guess what the Democrat said after that little purchase? “Where’s my new truck”? The man is unbelievable.
RC,
Keep your liberal/socialist ideals. Soon there will be zero manufacturing jobs left in the US.
End of America.
There's a boat shop on Hwy 287 - is that a Bass Pro Shop? - that would seem to be perfect free viewing for an Alliance airshow. Maybe that's the one he's thinking of. The place looks really small, though. Not sure they would be too happy about somebody camped out in their little parking lot all day if they were open for bidness
It was probably not necessary to stipulate casual dress for a young person's funeral. I've noticed a very casual trend in funeral wardrobe lately. The younger set especially, seems to be ignoring the old "basic black, subdued attire". Specific requests to the contrary are fine, otherwise, leave the Hawaiian shirt at home and show some respect
10:07- Neither liberal or socialist when it comes to economics and government. I don't want the government in any of my affairs or the affairs of the companies within this countries borders.
Like you, so many just think it is the liberals that are pushing the jobs out. It has been happening for many decades. You just lose track of time since your constant complaining seems to just be the same old same old.
If anyone actually wanted to see how bad the government is and how dysfunctional they really are. Vote for Ron Paul. through his actions and failures you will see how embedded your so-called "free market corporations" are in the government.
Yes, the lower-incomers will pay more; they are paying nothing now.
Upcoming airshow might explain what I saw in the sky south of Decatur. It was either a trick pilot practicing his tricks while using smoke or a very intoxicated sky writer. I tried to get pics but the wind disperssed the smoke to fast. Keep an eye to the sky you might catch it.
RT girl, watch out your left boob is attacking the right boob.
This thicker the waist-band the deeper the quicksand--that's what I said.
RE: Flat tax comment.
It would be possible to structure flat tax that was not regressive.
Also, the 999 Cain proposal is very intriguing. He hasn't explained clearly enough and Romney and others try to confuse the issue. For a quick explanation go here:

9:16 I'd like to see the lower half of today's girl
Just a repeat of Gordo's Corner...
There's a efin dress code for funerals? What a buncha snobs. The idea is to honor the memory of the dead child. As long as it's decent what the hell could it possibly matter what the kids wear to the funeral.
You should post photos of the daughters on American Hoggers and American Guns. Both are nice.
Perry would throw a "hail Hitler" if it would get him the nomination.
Romney - PLEASE!
That top pic looks like Bree Olsen!
But the second pic brought me down.
Then I quickly realized she is still a hot blonde; and I'm up again!
Hot but show us some Bree.
Hey you boobs........Look at her boobs again guys. There different sizes! The crease isn't in the middle.....look again!!!
And by the way everybody already knows you don't bunt with 2 strikes
Few knew the Nobel Peace Prize came with a "License to Kill".
Agent Obama 000. (triple naught)
Since when does Kim Mulkey know what a man would do? Ever?
riiiight
I can't stand her even more since she was so bitchy and showed her true colors to her mentor, old coach, and my beloved Aggies head girls' basketball coach last year on Dale Hanson's program before the big game of my beloved Aggies vs her bearettes. What was that final score there, be-yotch? Hmmm, I recall it well!!!
Forgot to say
Joe Manganiello is freakin HOT!!!
Barry, Joe is on True Blood..he plays a werewolf.
You do bunt with two strikes if you are the pitcher and that is your best chance of advancing a runner into scoring position.
Does anyone remember the song
_Gaddafi Sucks_?
"I'd like to see the lower half of today's girl." I saw her lower half at Walmart yesterday and threw up.
12:01 The funeral home representatives are the biggest snobs for not wearing tee shirts or tank tops, shorts or jeans, dirty shoes or flip flops.
How dare they look respectable!
1:17 -
Yeah! the nerve - dressing up better than their visitors?
12:01 -
In my previous post I was talking about funerals in general. The one in question had a "requested casual dress", which assumes there is a standard and they are okay with a deviation from that.
If there was a dress "code" they wouldn't let you get your foot in the door. Funerals are generally open to all, but it's still a private function. If the person paying the bill doesn't want you there, you'll be doing your crying out on the curb
It won't be too long before they'll have to put a sign up on the door like at a convenience store: "Shirts and shoes required. Bikinis must be covered"
1:17 Yeah, I hear ya. They're only gettin paid, what, about ten thousand dollars to "look respectable" while they do their business. How dare they!
2:21 and 1:17 both lost the point, above your heads, I guess. I seriously doubt any true mourner is going to be looked at badly by any family who is dealing with the death of a loved one for the clothing they are wearing. Typical society today. Appearance is more important than substance.
The story behind the camo clothing request is that she was engaged and the wedding was to be camo attire.
@933 Rem Con:
You are correct. But I would add that Corp's do not "pay" taxes in the same way that individuals do. In other words, when individuals pay a tax, we then have less to spend on something else. Corp's simply collect the taxes from whoever buys the goods/services that they sell, and then send it to the govt. It is built in to the price paid. Corp taxes make everything you buy cost more just like sales tax does on items to which sales tax applies. The only difference is that the amount of sales tax you pay is itemized separately so that you can see it, and corp tax is hidden from you. Corp tax is one of the ways that the govt. hides the true level of taxation from us. When you spend $1 on an item, sales tax is added to it, then corp tax is subtracted from it, then when the owner/s of the corp accept income from the corp, they pay personal income tax on it. The same dollar's worth of goods is taxed 3 different times and none of us ever see the total tax bill. That's exactly why a sales tax and/or other flat tax would be a good thing - we could see what govt is really costing us. That is why any plan such as this ever offered for tax reform is blocked. For a current example, see Cain's 999 plan, and in spite of what else anyone in govt. says, that is the reason it will not ever be employed.
In regrds to Ms. Mulkey's comment on the Aggies leaving: Sort of a strange comparative metaphore for a good Baptist girl to offer up.

Substance?!
You're trying to throw it over our heads, but we're not standing here with little T-rex arms. It aint that complicated, man! The only substance IS your appearance. You show up, say "Sorry for your loss", with an appropriate look...and that's it! Dressing for the occasion is a sign of respect for the deceased and their family
Where did you find the pics of Exwife #3? She cute, but certified 100% crazy. (You know what that means! wink, wink, nudge, nudge.)
Sure, you can see a lot of the airshow from the warehouse park, the highway frontage, or Cabela's, but there's also a ton of static displays, ARMY games simulator, and lots of swag. Plus turkey legs.
Best seat in the house is at the Hillwood hospitality tent. Back in the late '90s when middle son was about four or five, he broke loose and went bounding over to the buffet table to grab another cookie, almost running into HRP Sr. (Since son was large for his age, and HRP not so much, it wouldn't have been a pretty sight.)
I shuddered to think how many security guys woulda been on top of him if that had happened.
Wow, Triple Fake, I'm touched by your deep sense of, hmmmm, whatever.
The Alliance Airshow is amazing for the entire family. When that Stealth bomber disappears from view, then sneaks up behind the stands and lets loose...you nearly jump out of your skin! You don't get that thrill from the parking lot Plus the announcer gives you some history about the plane or pilot. Well worth the money for a half day's entertainment.
alliance air show gives me gas
