- Love this quote from the Denton County Republican Chairperson regarding an eccentric Denton resident (and Presidential candidate) who was arrested over the weekend: "My thought is they ought to keep him in jail until he can be tried and convicted.” Good grief. Maybe she can use that line in her next "our Constitution is sacred" speech.
- Reference on the radio this morning to an old time medical treatment of my childhood: Monkey Blood.
- I just thought about the Texas Tech student struck on his bicycle near Runaway Bay during the summer. I never heard another word about him.
- Kind of technical, but if you get hit with one of those stupid DPS "surcharges" after September 1, 2011 and you are truly indigent, there's a way out of them. DPS just hasn't figured out how to handle the new law they are obligated to enforce.
- Bristol Palin, author - mother - spokesperson, is now mature enough under the law to buy beer today for the first time.
- WBAP's Hal Jay this morning: "I wish my kids would have learned to speak Mexican." And he wasn't joking. His co-workers made fun of him for the next minute. (7:49 a.m.)
- Softball season is over. 4-6 record. Not bad for a group of kids and a coach who had no idea what they were doing when the season began. I told them at the first practice that I had two goals for them: (1) To be better at the end of the season than at the beginning, and (2) to have fun. They did. And I did.
- Goldman Sachs, despite the horrible economy, has been making money hand over fist while it has faced Congressional investigations and lawsuits in the way it duped investors with mortgage backed securities. Now, suddenly, this morning they announced a third quarter loss for the first time since 2008. Somebody might want to check those numbers. I smell a "don't be mad at us, we're losing money, too!" PR stunt.
- Somebody find me more info about this: Back in 2007, a UNT student was murdered with the eventual convicted murderer being caught on surveillance video in a convenience store with her shortly before her death. There was a blurb yesterday in the Texas Lawyer (behind a paywall) about her parents and estate winning an $8.6 million civil judgment after a five day trial in Denton. Who did they sue? Tell me it wasn't the convenience store.
- Wasn't the bank in Decatur, the one that Wells Fargo purchased about 10 years ago, named "The First National Bank of Texas" I always thought that name was worth a lot, and I don't think anyone else has picked it up (assuming they can.) There's a century old "First National Bank Texas" without the "of" but that's not the same thing. Edit: I think I'm right.
- Juveniles are rarely detained in "detention" while their criminal case is pending, and when they are it normally is for 10 days or so. Wise County sends our kids to a facility in Denton, but I'm trying to remember if we've ever used the facility in Granbury. Is so, county officials just got freaked out because some kid died their last week during an impromptu game of tug-of-war.
- Prosecutors are different in the northeast . . .

How dumb does Obama think people are? Well, everyone besides his voter base. We all know how dumb they are. I have yet to come across any Dem or Lib that isn't a couple of french fries short of a happy meal.
He knows good and well he is out campaining on the taxpayer dime. That man is a slimy snake.
Wise County used Denton County, Grayson County and yes, Hood County for holding juveniles
At face value, saying "...learned to speak Mexican" is offensive, but isn't that a lot like saying "Learn to speak American" when differentiating between our way of speaking and proper English?
I never listen to WBAP, and by your account Hal Jay says lots of dumb stuff, but he gets a pass on this one regardless of intent
Common knowledge - most prosecutors in these parts are submissives...and defense attorneys switch
You obviously had no problem deciding on a RT gal pic today
There are differences between "Mexican" and "Spanish", not to mention "Tex-Mex". Leave Hal alone, he's too easy a target. For your morning drive I suggest oldies on Sirius, relaxing, not taxing.
Melanie Goodwin's family sued QuikTrip. Here is a link to the case details on Denton County's website: http://justice1.dentoncounty.com/PublicAccess/CaseDetail.aspx?CaseID=565802
Bahhhhhaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!
(The New York Post) - "Occupy Wall Street" protesters said Monday that packs of thieves within their ranks have been robbing their fellow demonstrators blind, making off with pricey cameras, phones and laptops -- and even a hefty bundle of donated cash and food.
That's Oblamo's voter base! DUH!
Bacon Scale

She is cute
That chick looks like she just noticed somethin between her legs.
Goldman Sachs has been making money hand over fist the last few years? Well, they contributed a million bucks to Obama's presidential campaign, and have loaded his administration with GS people. Even people on Obama's side politically say that Barack Obama gave GS the best return on their money of any of their investments. There's your government/business collusion/corruption in plain sight, but you don't see Wall Street protesters marching on 1600 Penn.
I thought Wells Fargo bought out "The First National Bank of Decatur".
Here is the story on the murder.

9:46 Very good observation!
Her so called "Lesbian" parents gave her child hormone blockers for several years. Poor gal is still trying to figure out if she's male or female.
Monkey Blood
Merthiolate - burned
Mercurochrome - did not burn
My parents always had both in the house.
Pointing Out the Obvious, Isn't there honor among thieves? Isn't it ironic that they won't be able to call the police to make a report?
First National Bank of Decatur
9:49 is correct.
Rage, Wordkyle has once again spoken and given facts. Where is your typical response of calling him a liar?
The thefts at the occupy Wall Street are just people trying to redistribute the wealth. The occupiers should not be angry, that is what they are protesting for. Just happened to be their ox that got gored this time. Doesn't feel very good, does it?
Big Ed
Larry Summers was instrumental in the passage of the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 which removed the final Glass Steagall regulations on banks, securities firms and insurance companies. Despite this, Obammy made him his Director of the National Economic Council. Shouldn't the OWS hippies be demonstrating at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave?
Ineptocracy (in-ept-o-cra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.
8:54 has a very short memory
Is that Bree Olson again?
Hot either way... and you know what kind of big surprise I have for her!
Hey 8:54. I would be happy to compare intelligence with you using any scale you choose (IQ, GPA, Wonderlic score, etc.). You would lose handily. It appears your 'theory' is disproven.
Rage, Wordkyle has once again spoken and given facts. Where is your typical response of calling him a liar?
He's not lying, he's telling the truth--one of Obama's bail out companies has been making loads of money.
The hypocrisy is that he cries one day about Solyndra going broke and Obama giving them money, now he's crying because one of the companies he gave money to is doing well?
Liar? No.
Hypocrite? Youbetcha.
Rage
Addendum: :Liar? No, not this time...
Rage
Also, I miss monkey blood.
Rage, He is not crying because the company is doing well, he is pointing out the hypocrisy of Obammy corruption that is right before your eyes that you can't see. You sir, are a liar.
Coincidentally, a major shareholder of Solyndra was also a major Obama campaign contributor who visited the White House several times before the $500 million loan was approved. (Against the advice of the government's own accountants, by the way.) The Obama administration also stepped in when Solyndra's bankrupt status became apparent, and gave private shareholders -- such as the Obama contributor -- a favorable deal, in which they got paid before the government (a/k/a "taxpayers.") The running thread is that Obama uses taxpayers' money to pay back Democrat contributors.
Always happy to elaborate for those who don't catch on the first time.
Leave Hal Jay alone. Don't you know he is a comedian?
And Cheney was CEO of Halliburton, and continued his ownership interest in even after he was in office, which made billions off the war in Iraq that the Bush administration manufactured support for.
We could do this all day.
Rage
Blah blah, blah blah blah. Blahditty blah blah blah blah. Blah blah told you so blah blah blah.

Wordkyle
Always thought the old Republic Bank name would be a valuable brand after Bum Bright's bank went belly up. Surprised no one bought it & slapped it on a new institution.
My Other Brother Darryl
Here are the facts concerning Cheney and Halliburton. After taking office, Cheney gained no benefit from any contracts Halliburton had, or profits they received.
* Cheney received $398,548 in deferred compensation his first few years as Vice President, in accordance with an agreement with Halliburton he signed in 1998. That dollar amount could not increase, and could only decrease if Halliburton went bankrupt. He took out an insurance policy that would guarantee payments in case Halliburton went bankrupt.
* Cheney had stock options in Halliburton. Before he took office, he signed an irrevocable agreement which assigned all profits from those options to charity. The University of Wyoming, George Washington University, and Partners for Education could benefit, but Dick Cheney could not.
There's the Cheney-Halliburton connection. Contrary to popular Liberal propaganda, Dick Cheney was meticulous in severing his ties with Halliburton. Once again, it's a pleasure to shed light on subjects that some people are in the dark about.
Rage, you'll have to prove that last statement you made since Democrats and Liberals have no credibility in anything they say.
So, stock dividends went to charity for as long as they were in trust. But the trustee could still take stock splits, which are not "profits." And then when Cheney is out of office, he still gets the stock back, at its new higher value because of the war he helped manufacture.
Also, notice that nowhere did I say he profited during his tenure in office, just that he continued his ownership interest, which he did and you agree with.
Quit lying, wordkyle.
Rage
Looking at the Denton County website, I see that Case No. 2009-60224-393 was filed in the 393rd Judicial District Court on 07/21/2009: "Glenn Goodwin, Individually and on Behalf of the Estate of Melanie Therese Goodwin, and Peggy Goodwin, Individually and on Behalf of the Estate of Melanie Therese Goodwin VS. Quiktrip Corporation"
There was a jury trial on 09/26/2011, and there's a Motion To enter for 10/20/2011, and they've polled the jury.
Great googly-moogly. I think that you're right; they sued the Quick Trip store.
--Matt in Denton County.
Cheney is a bad sportsman.
Perhaps an investment or financial expert can explain to the class what a "stock option" is.
Wordkyle they still wouldn't get it! LMAO
Rage you have NO CREDIBILITY! LMAO
Rage, you are a douche AND a dumbass. Bad combination. So are you going to apologize? Or continue to lie?
Since Rage does not know what a simple thing like a stock option is, I would imagine he lies about his "business" acumen.
I bet Rage is the Newark beggar.
Bristol Palin, author - mother - spokesperson, is now mature enough under the law to buy beer today for the first time.
Wait just a second. There is video of her in a bar. What is a minor doing inside a bar without her parents?
for pete's sake barry, block any and all comments from rage. she is destroying this blog!!!
Looks like wordie is blogging anonymously again. Have to protect that internet reputation!
Rage has you busted wordie, and you and your anonymously-posting self don't even know it.
LOL
Stock options and IP addresses -- some people still don't understand them.
The difference between stock options, stock splits, and dividends... wordkyle still doesn't understand them. Blind trusts, either.
That internet reputation is slipping, and I'm still waiting for you to refute anything I actually posted about Cheney maintaining his ownership. The fact that he took stock options proves he had an ownership interest. Doesn't matter when the agreement was reached--after he owned the stock he helped the stock gain in value by helping Halliburton in the Middle East. Often with no-bid contracts.
Stop lying, wordkyle.
Rage
Rage,
You have no credibility whatsoever.
Cheney only had stock options. The OPTION to purchase stock at an agreed upon price, at a future date.
The only way to profit from stock options is if the stock price increases during the term of the option, and the option is then exercised.
Since all profit goes to charity, there is no way Cheney could benefit in any other way.
Further, stock options are NOT an ownership interest.
YOU are the liar.
Genius, do you think that he had no other stock already?
Idiot.
Rage
Douche,
As said, all stock was in trust, with any profits going to charity.
You are a idealogical, despicable liar.
