- There was a personal injury case starting yesterday in Decatur (some guy got injured on a gas well) but everyone in the courtroom was gone by the afternoon. It may have settled -- I'll find out.
- Today at 1:00, every TV and radio station will do a 30 second emergency preparedness test. It will be like a car alarm going off, only bigger.
- Mrs. LL told me she had a McRib yesterday and it was delicious. I think that qualifies as Low Maintenance.
- For you nerdy legal types: A prosecutor got crushed at oral argument at the Supreme Court yesterday.
- Collin County Craziness: A bribery trial against a state judge started yesterday with news that one of the co-defendants (the briber) had been given complete immunity in exchange for testifying. Politics over there, however, is like a middle school playground so I don't know who to believe.
- One thing even I'm guilty of regarding the Penn State story: Assuming the sexual abuse allegations against Jerry Sandusky are true.
- I have no idea whether Herman Cain has engaged in sexual harassment, but those who support him just blindly dismiss every woman who comes forward.
- The big well fire yesterday in Wise County involved equipment owned by Imperial Oil & Gas, Inc. who called the site a Green Tide Salt Water Disposal Facility according to its press release.
- "The quarterback had grown up in tiny Texas towns like Decatur and Stephenville, small spots in which life was lived a particular way." - Story today about Kevin Kolb on the Arizona Cardinals website.
- The drought in East Texas caused a lake level to lower so much that a car was found -- with a body inside of it. Seriously: Do you think there are human remains at the bottom of Lake Bridgeport right now? I do.
- I told you to fear Abilene Wylie again (who knocked Decatur out of the volleyball playoffs last night.)
- The Bridgeport Booster Club is holding a "Meet The Bulls" event tomorrow. It's just shocking they don't know who those boys are.
- BagOfNothing.com has a crazy near miss traffic accident video in Rockwall.
- Wise County voters only voted for one of the ten proposed state constitutional amendments yesterday. I have no idea what that says about us -- perhaps we are against things we don't understand.
- CoCo goes shopping.
- Chico ISD is auctioning off old items including these two broken toilets. All items listed here.
- I'm loving how the NBA players aren't backing down after the owners "take this now or we'll offer less tomorrow" negotiation tactic. I think there's a chance the entire season is lost (which is fine with me.)
- I didn't really follow the Jack Abramoff case but I see he is out of prison and hawking a book on Fox and Friends this morning.
- Good read on the plane to Vegas: The Texas Monthly article on the decades old murder of 77 year old Mary Eula Sears of Abilene. I had never heard of it but I suppose the case is famous there.
- Does the government still own a large chunk of GM? It announced quarterly profits of $1.7 billion this morning.

How many Supreme Court decisions have, in the end, been determined by the fact that 5th-rate local attorneys decided they could argue the case before the Supremes?
Certainly, that was the case in Lawrence v. Texas, where the odious and dim-witted Harris County DA decided he could defend the Texas sodomy law, only to have his incompetence get every sodomy law in the country essentially declared unconstitutional.
Texas' oral arguments during Roe v. Wade (where the state's attorney called the other side "Darlin'") helped get us that decision.
This sounds like another one. Keep doing that, Southern states! It's creating some great Supreme Court precedent!
When a blonde bimbo who has filed bankruptcy in the last ten years, has had an IRS lean placed against her, has had a paternity suit filed against her, cannot hold a job, didn't even tell anyone about the sexual harrasment when it happened 14 years ago, lives in a high rent apartment despite all of this and can hire probably the highest profile lawyer in the country, I tend to dismiss her as a money grubbing publicity whore. Other than that, I'm sure she is a fine woman.
The Supremes certainly seemed to bitch slap the New Orleans DA Office. But things are definitely different in the Pelican State. Those Cajuns are Crazy.

She is very cute
Don't you mean it will be like a car alarm going off only louder?
Joe Pat and all involved need to go away. that is just horrible.
Hey Skip, There has only been one woman come forward, and I forgot to mention in my previous post that she had filed for bankruptcy twice in the last ten years. So don't pass me off or all of those that support him as being blind.
Thanks for linking to the traffic accident in Rockall. Afterwards I watched the Florin Mitoi si Genove video. Thank you.
Thank God for the Harris county DA. Rage
I can't believe Mrs. LL had a McRib! They are not McDelicious, they are McFakeMeat and McNasty!!!
Wow 9:02! That's a pretty good commentary. But the liberals think us backward, racist, idiots aren't smart enough to see through their web of lies and their "do anything" motto to keep their payoffs and power.
I like Herman, I doubt that he did anything wrong and I generally believe that when he says something he means it--which is a huge contrast between all the other politicians.
9:34, I couldn't have described a liberal Mcweenie any better.
Given how Democrats and their media allies pull out all stops to assassinate the character of any successful Republican politician who shows a modicum of charisma, is it any wonder Cain supporters question the reports as well as the reporters? Every time a Republican burps, it's headline news for days. Obama's off-mic insult to Israel's Prime Minister? Blamed on the French President. Pelosi's conflict of interest in credit card legislation? Invisible. And coverage of the Obama administration's involvement in, and lack of transparency on, Solyndra, Lightsquared, and Fast and Furious has focused on the Republican investigation. So yeah, the default position is to doubt accusations against Herman Cain.
"blindly dismiss every woman who comes forward....."
Skippy, you are the legal guy. Look at the facts on these ladies. Bankrupt, con artist, gold diggers, repeat filers against other bosses, etc. etc. See any patterns developing there?
The hard line Republicans had better hurry up and execute that guy before the supremes rule once again that you can't tust humans to preside over the life of others.
Re: Herman Cain:
Your partisan affialation is showing through in this comment. Some are guilty of what you accuse them, but it is far from "everyone who supports" him. One could say that everyone who supports someone else, D or R, is blindly accepting as the whole truth the allegations that have been made, and that would be an exageration, also. There are those, too many in my opinion, who blindly dismiss scandal from poiticians in either major party if it is about "their guy", and I cannot tell that R's are more guilty of that than D's. That being said, my opinion is that if an accuser, prior to conclusive evidence being established as to the veracity of the accusation, voluntarily accepted terms of an agreement that included a clause to not divulge or discuss in the future, then I don't care to hear from them in the future. Likewise, if one of the accusers hires one of the highest paid and highest profile media sluts to "represent her interests" (translation: get her mucho $$$ and actual guilt is irrelevant) in this case, and then we learn that in her past in a separate incident she was terminated without settlement from a company for "falsely alleging sexual discrimination", then she has no credibility, and who knows and who cares whether she is telling the truth. She has forever taken herself out of any interest I might have had in that type of allegation.
I don't care about the allegations against Cain, I'm more worried about what an idiot he it. He did not know that China has nuclear capability, and has had it since the 1960's. This man is a joke.
I agree with everyone else about the accusations against Herman Cain. Plus, you can add one more factor to it.
How about the fact that she has Gloria Allred representing her? The same woman who is a big Democrat who brought charges against Meg Whitman in the California Governor's race.
The charges were later proved untrue and helped give the office to the Democrats.
Most of the Senate as you recall blindly accepted Clinton after perjury to a federal grand jury and all of the lying and inappropriate behavior in his paid for housing/office space.
I suppose Cain should be given a pass since there is no evidence against him.
Green Tide Salt Water Disposal Facilities are totally and completely 100% safe- As seen on TeeVee.
CoCo...my goodness, she doesn't have junk in the trunk, she has a load of crap in the waaaaaay back of a Seventies-Styled stationwagon.
I like eatin Bacon.
10:01, At least Cain knows how many states there are in the United States and he's not about redistrubiting the wealth.
Trial yesterday did not settle. Jury selection completed at 11:00 am. Trial starts today.
Neither of the women who have come forward publicly to accuse Cain are credible witnesses. One has one of the most shady financial histories I've ever heard and a Democratic shark representing her, the other has a history of trying frivolous lawsuits for money. The idea that these two tools can get away with sullying what to this point has been a squeaky clean reputation is both laughable and sad.
Cain fan here, not blind; blanket accusations reflect poorly on the accuser, counselor.
Dam, don't hit the close-up button on the Random girl. Those huge fake boobs really put pressure on the bigass blue veins and make them stick out. Looks like a railroad track running through her left one.
None of you bloggers have any credibility!
Now, one of the women that settled an employment agreement against the NRA and Cain has come forward and her story is more flimsy than the blonde bimbo. How is it that you can just jump from one government job to another?
KatyDid, you shouldn't comment on things you know nothing about. Texas sodomy law went down, pun intended, because it penalized, pun intended, consensual homosexual behavior, which the Supremes were never going to uphold. No attorney could have won that argument. Harris County defended the law on principle, not because they believed they could win. Dallas County did the same thing when the state flag-burning statute was challenged in SCOTUS. They knew it was going to be struck as unconsitutional but defended it on principle ... or because the DA was running for re-election.
Poor Herman Cain is so unprepared to be president that his current confused recollections about the (several) accusers is just a blip. Those questioning the single accuser are ignoring the fact that the Restaurant Assn paid "settlements" to accusers. I guess they figured there was enough substance to the claims.
"perhaps we are against things we don't understand."
I am. Govt. at all levels over time have well earned that rap. Fool me once...
Florin Mitoi si Genove video - yes sir!!!!!
1039 - ...or the Restaurant Association calculated the costs of fighting the claims -- however without merit they might be -- in court, and decided it was cheaper to settle.
10:32- are you gay? ARE YOU GAY??
Re Cain; more proof Liberals are the biggest racists.
Yes, government owns about 60% of GM and the Canadian government about 12%.
Why don't they just take Cain to Jasper and drag him behind a truck?
whew, that video is off the chain! Wasn't there someone in the black car?
LLDQF, You forgot to mention how much the UAW owns.
Why didn't they do that to Clinton, 1:03?
LMAO 1:03
I guess the words double standard are not in the Democrat and Liberal vocabulary.
You people are a joke.
Seriously, comments on this blog contain thousands of racial slurs toward anyone black including the president and yet you are all vying for another black man to be president. I am anxiously waiting for him to win the R nomination and you people will have to vote for a black man or stay home and not vote. This is a hilarious series of events. Qualified or not, the comments from this blog have clearly stated a good percentage of the readers would never vote for a black man but here you sit supporting one.
And on BG's comment.....we know nothing about the income or race or haircolor or sexual history of the families reporting Sandusky's abuse, and all believe them to be true, we however know some facts about one of the now 5 accusers of Cain and you believe none of them. It is just an interesting insight on his part.
Is there a difference between unwanted advances and consensual sex? Think so!
FUNBAGS!
I'm still recovering from yesterday's randy girl four pack!
Pretty sure Cain guilty and stupid.
However, isn't the ordeal the accusors are going thru good reason for others not to come forward?
I laugh at comments re unequal treatment conservs get at hands of media. My memory goes back to Gary Hart........and both parties have endured thier pecadillos!@
2:44 I'm just not as gullible as you are. How do you do it? How do you believe everything someone says without having proof that what they are saying is 100% accurate?
Anyone can file a "sexual harassment" complaint. You can look at someone wrong and people turn into idiots. Society is full of idiots now days.
Cain was exonerated within the Association of the accusations.
It means nothing to pay these women. Sometimes, you pay people just to shut them up. Welcome to the real world 101. If these cases would have been 100% proven fact these women would have received mega money.
2 of the people are associated with Obama
And, IMHO if you didn't blink an eye at Clinton or Obama's shady acquaintances you cannot say one word about Cain.
250 - Gary Hart's affair was more than two decades ago. The political terrain has changed since then. The media declared its allegiance during the Clinton administration, and put it into full force during the Bush presidency. Dan Rather was exposed in 2004. The Journolist listserv revelations last year confirmed it. Look at the widespread media reports as fact of the non-existent racial slurs supposedly directed toward Congressman John Lewis at a Tea Party rally -- but not a single video or audio recording of such an incident was ever produced. The reporting, timing, and intensity of coverage of a story varies dramatically, depending on if it benefits Democrats or not. The media bias is an extra burden Republicans always face.
2:50, Gary Hart is the only one you can think of huh?
2:50, I'm so glad you brought up Gary Hart. If I'm not mistaken, it was someone within the democratic party that leaked the picture of him and his mistress on the boat "Monkey Business" to the press. He withdrew his nomination shortly afterwards. He was caught red handed and could not deny it. There was no reason to drag him through the mud and try to bring him down with "he said, she said." Can you throw out another name of a liberal weenie that the liberal mainstream media have tried to lynch in the court of popular opinion daily?
Why are liberal weenies so afraid of a real black man?
In a nation with so many brilliant people, why is it that so many contenders are considered idiots?
Is it because the other side casts aspersions, or because only idiots would try for such offices?
--EmGee
Tired of hearing about Cain's funny business.
Journalists have college degrees, so they are clearly Democrats.
Nice Milkers on that ole dirty leg
Cain...chinese...He was not referring to nuclear weapons, but rather nuclear powered warships.
The difference between Sandusky and Cain is that Sandusky will actually get to defend himself in court. Cain will not be afforded that right.
Yeah- about that: when the media defends Cain like they did Clinton (remember them taunting Jennifer Flowers- MS Flowers- will you be accusing other candidates...?) Then, we'll talk.
Democrat's college degrees = tits on a boar hog.
Shows Wise County voters dont know chit and keep voting against themselves, eduvation, schools, and the elderly. They shoot down the deferred ajudication proposal, then will raise hell years later when they are paying for this person because he cant get a job due to some minor infraction 8 years ago. Lucky the rest of Texas isnt as dumb as Wise.
Republican degrees = Manager at Lowry's in Paradise!
"...Democrats and their media allies pull out all stops to assassinate the character of any successful Republican politician..."---wordkyle
Now That's funny!!
As opposed to Republicans?
1232 - Which Democrat has the media treated the way they did Sarah Palin?
Democrat's college degrees
The plural possessive form of Democrat is 'Democrats''. Unless, of course, you were talking about only one Democrat who has multiple degrees? But I doubt that.
You might should have at least gone to a JuCo.
Rage
wordkyle,
Howard Dean cheered too loud and the media circus was deafening. This is the best example of MSM scourging a candidate for reason's I still don't understand.
Anthony Weiner's, organ was on every channel all day long.
Some say the media was not kind to Hilary.......
Eliot Spitzer took lots of heat,
John Edwards post humorously has been boiled.
- CBS news on the Howard Dean scream: "[Dean asked] for a pass. But does he really need one?...There's more to the Iowa speech than meets the eye..."
- Diane Sawyer asked Dean about it and moved on.
- The New York Times asked him about it and moved on.
Weiner, Spitzer, and Edwards committed acts that were morally questionable (at best) or reprehensible (at worst.) Palin did not. The best comparison would be how they covered the Mark Foley scandal -- six weeks before the election of 2006.
"Some say" the media was not kind to Hillary, but you'll need to produce evidence to support how so. The NY times endorsed her for the Democrat nomination.
When asked about what news sources he read, Obama gave virtually the same answer as Palin -- but without an aggressive follow-up or media firestorm over his answer.
