- That Republican debate was highly entertained, but that Party has got to be concerned with who they are rolling out there.
- I'm still not sure why Newt Gingrich doesn't get more traction. Other than Ron Paul (good message, bad package), he seems like the only honest one in the bunch.
- Rick Perry jumped on Romney for hiring an illegal alien (via a contractor) to do his (Romney's) yard work. Funny line on the radio this morning: "Around here, I don't think you're a real Texan unless you have hired an illegal alien."
- The Denton Record Chronicle had a long article questioning the way grand jury members get selected. It is a very weird process. Basically, a judge hand picks four (five?) "commissioners" to meet one time to select potential grand jury members. Most judges will tell them to give him/her a good cross section of the county, but that doesn't always work out.
- Update from yesterday's Random Thoughts: It looks like the murder victim's family did file suit against the Denton convenience store and won a multi-million dollar judgment. How is that possible? How has the local news media not picked up on that?
- I was looking for a front page for the bottom of Random Thoughts and almost went with the Texarkana paper which had a headline about federal drug indictments of 66 people called "Operation Stateline Sweep" -- proving once again that drug roundups always have to have a catchy name. One of these days they'll name one of them "Operation Futile Effort."
- Whatever happened to
Hank Hal Ketchum, Radney Foster, and Ty Herndon? (Edit: To the first comment, I'm vaguely familiar with Google. But, see, this bullet point question is what is called "rhetorical." I don't want a a literal answer. I was trying to quickly remind you that many1990s country stars have disappeared. But that "quickly" aspect has now been severely defeated. )
- Hot Sports Prediction: St. Louis Cardinals in six. Rangers starting pitching will be the problem.
- That Chisholm Trail Steak Challenge at the Reunion Grounds in Decatur this weekend got a huge free plug on WBAP this morning from Hal Jay. I think he mentioned that his daughter in law was involved with it. (It's a fundraiser, and they must have high expectations because first place gets $2,500. Second gets $1,000.)
- The Decatur Eagles are still not in the AP Top Ten.
- If C.J. Wilson gets the loss tonight in the Rangers' World Series game, he will be the first pitcher in MLB history to have an official loss in the World Series, The League Championship Series, The Division Series, and the All Star Game in one year.
- Herman Cain paid a visit to Crazy Sheriff Joe in Arizona. Why they pander to that guy is beyond me.
- There's a book on Amazon called Eighter From Decatur: Growing Up In North Texas
- Hey you property lawyers: Check out the first item in the Update and tell me if you see any issues to help out Chico. If it were a law school test, I'd write down something about the Rule Against Perpetuities and then proceed to prove that I know nothing about property law.
- There's a 22 year old death of a Paradise girl listed in the Update. If it was the one I heard about, it's a tragic and scary situation. A health issue that came out of nowhere.

Don't you mean Hal Ketchum? Do you know how to use the google?:)
It's Hal Ketchum. Radney is still one of the best known writers in country music. Keith Urban's last number one, "i'm in," was written by Radney. He's on the Texas Country Circuit pretty regularly... Do you remember Ty Herndon getting arrested in Dallas for soliciting sex from an undercover female officer and subsequently being arrested for amphetamines?
What happened to the girl in Paradise?
8:42 -
That arrest was in Fort Worth at Gateway Park, not in Dallas.
We remember your predictions on the Mavs and last years fail predictions on the Rangers all too well....
Dallas County's courthouse is on land with a similar restriction. Tidwell Bible Building was supposed to be torn down if there was ever an on-campus dance.
I don't remember much about property law, but I think similar cases have resulted in the land reverting to the original owner.
Rage
Radney played the big Crain Lewis (law firm) party in Dallas last year -- still good.
Love that the Decatur book was written by a guy named "Jim Tom Barton".
One of these days they'll name one of them "Operation Futile Effort."
If you are not for drug enforcement, then you must be for drug use. Do you allow your family to do drugs?
Do you benefit as a lawyer from drug arrests?
Every drug taken off the street is one less drug in the body of some rapist, murderer, random felon, pervert, or random kid.
I would think you would support the effort, any effort, to rid the world of the crap.
Way to build the morale and garner the support of your law enforcement buddies.
They should just throw in the towel.
Bacon Scale

Not good
RT Gal has on a lot of gold. Check out the large mans watch. She even looks like a man...
Grand Jury selection- Just reassures the fact that ALL government have sneaky agendas, and need a good shakedown, even on a small scale... ♫
That Jeniffer Nicole Lee pic is hot. Looks like Chasey Lain from the 90's and I'll bet she's just as good. Mmmmmmm.
Hey barrister, hard to beat a reverter clause. Back in the 80's, the city of Fort Worth built a new library and decided to tear down the old one at the corner of 9th and Throckmorton and make it a parking garage. The Jennings family donated the property to the city for a library with a reverter. They reared their head once the city started tearing it down. Long story short, the city had to buy it from the Jennings family.
Radney Foster and Bill Lloyd (Foster and Lloyd) just released a new CD together after about a 20 year hiatus. It gets lots of airplay on KHYI.
breaking scanner news..several females attacking 1 female in
chico...
it's a bunch of rock truck drivers wives..really...and they are hispano's...who knew..
9:10 I understand what you're saying but historically prohibition fails. Many drug conviction sentences are harsher than those given out for violent crimes such as assault, rape and murder.Many law enforcement agencies use these operations to slap themselves on the back and say "look at us we took a drug dealer down" when their limited resources could be used better elsewhere.And I am not anti law enforcement, they do a thankless job for not near enough money. No I don't think all drugs should be legalized but a little common sense goes a long way. Here's what I told my college age son, "If you want to smoke some pot, fine, no one has ever OD'd on pot. Want to try magic mushrooms, cool. Just always remember, they are illegal and if you get caught expect to pay the consequences, whether legal or job or school related. However stay the hell away from the hard stuff, crank, coke, heroin etc. That stuff can ruin you're life and sometimes all it takes is one time to end up in the funeral home." He listened and I believe he truly appreciated an honest conversation.
Ashlie had a sudden brain hemmorage/aneurism. She literally took her boots off walking to the truck after Ranch Bash and a blood clot went straight to her brain. She said her feet hurt and she didn't feel good on the way home and fell asleep. She never woke up. By the time they got her careflighted the damage was already done to her brain. She was an unbelievable person and mother. She leaves behind a 5 month old baby girl. Such a sad loss to us all.
9:10 AM
Yes, that's exactly what they should do, throw in the towel...!
Re: Sheriff Joe- Guess these days when a sheriff enforces the laws some call him crazy. (see Pat Buchanan from yesterday)
Does the "Chico" deed say what kind of school it has to be?
If not, the City of Chico could put their office in and right beside it build a School of Basic Life Skills. This school could teach people how to function in life, how to Clean Up Around Your Home, How To Stay Off Welfare, How To Stay Off Medicaid, etc.
Ahh....but have you seen the Cardinals pitching.... worse than the Rangers in the ALCS.
Yeah.... I'm sure that's a new thing BG.... actually analyzing the other team instead of always predicting fail for the home sports team
It breaks my heart to hear of such a tragic loss of life...RIP Ashlie..may God walk closely with your little baby all through her life until you meet again.
haha he said analyzing, i hate being analyzed..
speaking of analizing,..how bout them cowboys?
Are they havin some kind of Lesbianistic party in Chico?
more breaking news..popo on way to house where homeowner came in and found a large amount of blood, she believes her dog attacked an intruder and did serious damage..u go dog..
yes it's a taco party...!!
hold the f'n presses..the dog got ahold of one of them big 40oz squeeze bottles of ketchup and got it all over himself and all over this house, so it was only the backdoor intruder..
Legalize drugs. Natural selection will sort it out. Alcohol prohibition was a miserable failure. People still drank alcohol and turned petty criminals into millionaires. The same is true with drugs. I was a law enforcer ( and yes, drug enforcer ) for almost 40 years. It was and is futile. We were good at keeping the price of drugs up but thats about all. Someday, reason will prevail.
damm it muss b humpday.
Back in the 1960’s our criminal justice went away from prosecuting drug users and began focusing on drug traffickers. When I began my career in law enforcement in 1970, my experience was that very few crimes were drug related (maybe 20 percent); there was no DEA (there was a relatively small agency called the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs); and drug use was not accepted in our society. By the time I retired in 2000 most crimes were drug related (perhaps 80 percent); the DEA was one of the largest federal law enforcement agencies; and drug use had become more acceptable, with drug users being treated as victims rather than criminals. What this means seems clear to me. As long as there is no significant down side to drug use, in terms of societal acceptance of the behavior, people will use and there will be a market and as long as there is a market there will be someone who be willing to accept the risk to supply the demand. I think I know what the problem is but I do not know what to do about it. It’s complicated.
rangers favored by more than 2.5 to 1 to winnn series, the bookmakers usually get it right.
1112 you are part of the problem, not the solution, and you are an idiot for not recognizing that pot and cocaine, heroine, meth and prescription drugs are NOT the same, however the lawmakers insist on making them the same even though evidence strongly suggest otherwise. therefore many, many lives have been ruined because of reefer madness..many young people have suffered hardships, arrests and harassment by the police just because of some minor pot charge in their past. why don't cops give a dui when they pull someone over who is smoking pot?
China has an effective method of dealing with drug offenders. They are shot. They don't reoffend. And yet, people in China still abuse drugs. When I began my law enforcement career ( 1969 to 2006 ), one could get life in prison for marijuana possession. That was pretty harsh. It made no difference. It filled our jails and ruined many lives but it did not stop drug use. End the madness. End the prohibition. Punish people for their actions that harm others but leave them alone to do with their bodies what they wish.
Well hells bells, let's just put another nigger in the White House. Surely he'll be able to solve the drug, defecit, and immigration prollems. Or maybe he'll just end up passin' out pizza coupons...
Social Security giving $38.00 per mo. raise? Woo Hoo. Where'll I go on 1/2 tank of gas???
11:52 38.00 minus $8.00 month increase on medicare insurance.
$360.00 yr...$720. if there are two seniors in the house. Every little bit helps when you are living on fixed income.
1145..we can abort, kill a baby but you can't smoke a joint...wtf is goin on here..?
Who's that comin' through the park
Dress in rhinestones after dark
Lookin' way too fat to be a cop
Keepin' Memphis clean from his long black limousine
Fightin' crime with fast karate chops
Oh, now, Elvis was a narc
In rhinestones after dark
He did his best to keep Memphis drug-free
He knew every pill he'd eat
Would be one less on the street
Elvis took 'em all for you and me
Now I still can't believe
That the King would have O.D.'d
And he couldn't have done the drugs they say he did
And even though he's D.O.A.
I still hear people say
That he's got 'em all out in Graceland somewhere hid
Oh, well, Elvis was a narc
In rhinestones after dark
He did his best to keep Memphis drug-free
He knew every pill he'd eat
Would be one less on the street
Elvis took 'em all for you and me
I just wanna eat some Teddy Grahams
This is vintage BG. You make horrible sports predictions, but still feel its appropriate to continue.
But I can see it's kind of a win-win for you. If you right about the World Series, then you can say,"See, I am right sometimes." If you're wrong, then you alway say, "Why do you people listen me anyway...haven't you already learned that I suck at this whole sports prediction stuff?"
those no-goods who wrote the laws always say that pot is a gateway drug..bullshit folks, every drug user i've ever known or heard of started with cigarettes and booze..not pot...why does the government make these killers legal..?
"If elected, I'll put a pizza in every home. Each will have 9 toppings. Extra pizzas can be purchased for $9 each. Some people say, that's mighty fine. I say, that be 9-9-9."
Double Fake Herman Cain
I guess you dipsh!t$ who want to legalize drugs would want FDA regulation. Because we ALL know that a simple little joint could never be spiked with hash or PCP for the hell of it, right???
No one ever OD'd on weed, my ass.
According to Wiki, Mr. Herndon was showing off Little Ty to a MALE police officer:
"In July 1995, Herndon was arrested in Fort Worth, Texas, at Gateway Park by an undercover male police officer who alleged that Herndon exposed himself. When taken into custody, he was also discovered to be in possession of methamphetamine. A plea bargain saw the singer sentenced to community service and drug rehabilitation, and the charge of indecent exposure was dropped."
2:29 PM = Dumbass.
2:29: You are either a drug dealer or ignorant or both. I think milk is the gateway drug and soft drinks and coffee and chocolate. So what?
2:29 I bet you're one of those who think they know everything there is to know about weed but has never smoked it. And one time at band camp doesn't make you an expert either.
Newt Gingrich isn't gonna get any more traction because he is a sorry individual. He broke the news of his plans to divorce his first wife while she was in the hospital and then cheated on his second wife with a much younger chick. I guess he could blame it on the disintegration of America that Pat Buchanan wrote a book about.
The Backdoor Intruder
Big deal 3:10
Men are pigs.
Look at yourself in the mirror for a good example.
Other than being like every other man pig in America, Newt would make an excellent president.
2:29, Find one case where the cause of death was unlaced, straight up weed. Go ahead, I'll wait......
Yeah, Herndon kinda disappeared after he propositioned the male cop at the queer park.
@3:38 - I agree. So, do you think he is electable? Remember that "mean-spirited Republican" thing they alleged when he was in office before?
Intruder - While not excusing any of Gingrich's other questionable actions, the hospital divorce story is a myth, according to his daughter.
hehehe 3:50 I'll wait wit ya. This ought to be good.
3:56 Gawd, I wish/hope/would love for him to be. I haven't heard the mean spirited accusation before. At this point, I want someone mean spirited to take over.
WK,
When did any liberal ever let the truth stop them from spreading unfounded rumors?
Big Ed
229 are you always stupid or just about pot..?
The Grand Jury selection system seems to be working.
3:38
T-T-That does it! You web-footed, n-n-no good, two-timing, d-d-double-crossing, d-d-double-dealing, unsanitary old snake in the grass!
Double Fake Porky Pig, Esq.
2:29 I know what is in my weed or on my weed, I planted it and took care of it myself and now I'll fix me a bowl and enjoy.
.
Your sports predictions are turds in text form.
WELL POT DOES HAVE A DOWNSIDE... IT MAKES YOU EAT SO YOU GET FAT, HAPPY AND SLEEPY...
3:38, If men are pigs, what does that say about women?
Weed was everywhere in Rhome until the Zero Tolerance signs went up. Now the time out store reported a record loss due to unpurchased snack food. Their tax revenue will suffer, while Cottondale's goes up.
That women really don't need men, 10:42.
6:24, I hope your car breaks down on the way to work.
