- A street racing incident in Dallas last night caused a four car wreck that look like a bomb went off and one death. Police have identified one of the cars racing as a BMW which is coincidental because someone commented yesterday (about the Corvette video) that BMW drivers no longer know what they are doing.
- NBC Nightly News was funny last night because a fire alarm was going off in studio during the live show. It went on what seemed like forever but host Brian Williams handled it like a pro -- he could hardly contain his laughter at times.
- The judge who sentenced Conrad Murray was really playing to the cameras yesterday by giving a huge speech before imposing the maximum sentence. The best judges simply pronounce sentence and move on to the next case. They know there is no need for dramatics.
- There's a Parker County judge who kept doing the same thing in bond hearings for some crazy guy accused of murder but I haven't heard much about that case lately.
- Had to get up in the middle of the night and slap the Family Cat in the head since she decided to chew and scratch her way through a thick cardboard box holding the Christmas tree.
- I haven't mentioned it to Mrs. LL yet, but there's something very uncomfortable about the design of the lips on our inflatable Monkey Santa on the front lawn.
- Mrs. LL picked up a different kind of deodorant for me. It had "Swagger" on the label. Idiocracy?
- American Airlines pays an average of $6.5 million per year for the naming rights to the American Airlines Center.
- The guy who used to manage the Methodist Camp out at Lake Bridgeport is now the director of the "YMCA of the Rockies' Snow Mountain Ranch." I want a job at that ranch based solely on the name.
- Fox 4 spent the first 13 minutes of its 9:00 p.m. broadcast on the American Airlines bankruptcy. I suppose that's OK since it employs a krillion people in the DFW area.
- Heard part of a comedian's stand up routine that actually made me laugh -- and I never laugh at stand up routines. And I had never heard of Aziz Ansari.
- Northwest ISD girls basketball team lost last night to "God's Academy." That's a pretty bold name.
- I don't care about Bobby Valentine being the new manager of the Red Sox, but I do acknowledge it was a funny bit when he was thrown out of a game one time only to return to the dugout in a "disguise."
- Good grief: A 13 year old Millsap boy tried to start a bonfire over the holidays with diesel and ended up with burns so bad that he'll spend "six month to a year" at Parkland. I can't imagine his pain or the heartache of his family. Facebook support page here.
- Jessica Simpson loves being pregnant and, apparently, eating cheeseburgers. Pic.
- Texas has a law that requires some office holders to resign if they announce their plan to seek office more than one year and 30 days before the date of filing. One such DA may have screwed up . . .

Above the neck she looks 14, below the neck not so much.
Who cares about Jessica Simpson's pregnancy weight!!!!! What's shocking is that her shoes don't go with her dress!!!!!!
The constitutional amendment changed the auto resignation period from 1 year to a 13 months. This bozo probably forgot to read the actual law and thought it had done away with the auto resignation altogether.
Villalobos is nailed. There will be a new DA in his part of Texas soon. The Texas Constitution is pretty specific on that point, in spite of its other shortcomings and obtuse language.

4.7 out of 5
WOW BG she is smoking
Wasn't Jessica Simpson the one who lectured everybody about only having sex within the confines of marriage?
Not sure if this is the same "God's Academy" that is from Dallas or not.
We Had a basketball tournament a couple of years ago and a school from Dallas called "God's Academy", an all black school, attended. The entire team was VERY disorganized, unruly and verbally abusive to adults and students. During the course of the tourney, some of their players were called down because of excessive and aggressive play. At one point, an Alvord player was knocked unconscious and was out for almost a minute. While she was being attended to, the players from "God's Academy" were on the side giving high fives to each other and the coach.
After the game, which they lost, they were arguing among their selves which ended up in a physical altercation in the parking lot. The coach was involved and was beaten up by the players.
They have not been invited back to ANY tourney and never will.
I want a monkey pic!! I want a monkey pic!!
Also, drawing on my long-ago construction background, I would definitely classify that blue top as a load bearing structure.

It's the Unions fault AA has naming rights to the Dallas Center.
AA BK should concern you Barry. For every job there, it supports 3 on the outside....including yours. Know for a fact you have clients employed there, and they are hard working Decatur people, and not the "Union Thugs" your readers would have one believe.
It will be interesting to see how a bankruptcy court is going to view spending that kind of dough on the naming rights of the AA Center in Dallas, not to be confused with the AA Arena in Miami.
Management at its finest!
Are you sure that 6.5 million isn't for both AA arena and AA center? Either way that's a ton of cash
Noone cares about AA in Wise County because they dont haul crank, just coke.
I'll swear I heard constable tom announce he was running for judge. I just need a couple of witnesses. Who's with me, come on people we have a great opportunity to remove this boil from the arse of Wise County. FREEDOM!!!
Double Fake Brave Heart
9:04 Why do you think she hid the pregnancy for so long?
Aziz Ansari is great. I want to see the film he made with Jesse Eisenberg and Danny McBride.
Old Spice came out with their "Swagger" line a couple years ago.
Definitely need pics of the monkey lips to make a ruling.
Wow... you just totally redeemed yourself from yesterday with that smoking hot randy girl today. I really like the old school look of those funbags!
Swagger is Old Spice trying to be like Axe. My grandfather wore Old Spice. I don't think he would have splashed or sprayed on any of the Axe stuff.
AMR files for BK. Deregulation works, ask Braniff, Pan Am, Eastern, etc. etc.
Well if you believe ESPN.com Sports Business website:
Dallas AA Center- 6.5 million
Miami AA Arena- 2.1 million
The union employess have not had raises in over 10 years.
They gave everything back and more after 9-11, shortly after the contract went into effect.
The lack of good management is the major contributor to the downfall of this company.
The union employess have not had raises in over 10 years. (Really? What is the going rate for domino playing, no show for 3 days, numerous sick day missing and vacation overload days employees?
Hey, I got an idea. Publish the actual position, pay rate and benefit info of employees of AA including their specific job duties so we can compare them to the public sector.
They gave everything back and more after 9-11, shortly after the contract went into effect. (You mean they finally had to commit to work full-time?)
The lack of good management is the major contributor to the downfall of this company. (Of course, someone in non-management would say this.)
Anyone ever notice that the majority of larger companies in financial trouble have UNION EMPLOYEES?
...For purple mountain majesties...
What the hell are y'all talking about? Jessica Simpson looks better pregnant that y'all's hillbilly, no-toof women do on their best day. The only way y'all have a woman thinner than her is if she's a meth head.
Rage
I used to wear a deodorant called Swaggert but it only attracted prostitutes that wanted me to watch them.
"Anyone ever notice that the majority of larger companies in financial trouble have UNION EMPLOYEES?"
You just said a mouthful, 11:46.
I'm assuming that today's RT girl is actually old enough to drink that beer beside her, which means that I don't have to feel bad about the fact that she's making my pants go crazy.
11:46
Do you know how to fly a plane?
Do you know how to properly maintain one?
Didn't think so.
As suspected, union workers don't want anyone to know how much they make.
LMAO
If that is the same God's Academy school that came to a Bport tourny a couple years back, they are nothng but trouble. I worked that tourny. The comment above was spot on in describing what happened.
It was ridiculous, and horrifying, as when the Alvord player went down.
Look at bad management as the cause of American Airlines having problems. People always want to blame unions and it IS NOT THEIR FAULT. A few years ago the people at the top got over 1 Billion in bonuses and etc. 6.5 million for naming a center. Everyone in the DFW knows of AA so they don't need their name on a building to advertise it.
1:13 You poor thang. What's wrong? You think flying planes and work'n on them makes a person "special"? Pulleeezzzz......get real.
Provide us with a list of all AA union employee's job titles, pay rates, job duties, benefits, perks etc.
11:46, you sound like a really stupid ass that doesn't know anything about Company/Union relations. First off, if companies took care of their employees, then they wouldn't have a union in the first place. Secondly, the union can not make a company do anything. It is all about negotations. And unlike the remarks that you made about people sitting on their behind and not working, the companies sets the rules and it is up to management to see that the rules are followed. The Union only ask the companies to follow their own rules.
LLLMMMMAAAAOOOOOOOOOO.
What a bunch of retards.....Everybody crying about Tom Bishop.....YOU are the same idiots that voted him into office....and are now crying. POWER OF VOTING A STRAIGHT PARTY TICKET.......Repub county didn't want a Dem. Constable.......lololol.....you got him....ya'll keep him.......just think of the positive side of it. Instead of him going all over the county doing business he has no business doing, maybe if he is elected Judge, he can run over to Dallas and Ft.Worth and fix them up also........I'm sure he will try.
2:07
You are obvioulsy a Grade AA ass.
If you think that I am employed at AA, you are wrong. I do occasionally fly with them and I do CARE if someone can operate and maintain a plane.
Special? no
Qualified? YES
What's wrong? A stupid azz is telling the truth and you can't handle it? Wah Wah
Let me get this straight.
"the union can not make a company do anything. It is all about negotiations." Mmmm.....There wouldn't have to be UNION NEGOTIATIONS without unions now would there?
Oh, and could you purty please show us the union handbook on how to be the perrrrrfect employee. You know.....the handbook that says a union employee can miss 3 days of work before letting the employer know they are going to be out? Kuz that sure is a moral and ethical way to treat an employer isn't it? Try that in the private sector and see what your thug ass gets. Where's the Union to protect the employer from Employee union thugs?
Oh, and what is the Texas Workforce Commission's duty again? It must be nothing because you seem to think if companies took care of their employees, then they wouldn't have a union in the first place.
2:05
Just to clarify:
6.5 Million annually for the Dallas AA Center
2.1 Million annually for the Miami Arena
I read an article stating that American spends over 45 million a year on sport venues.
How completely stupid when your ass suppossedly has been in the ditch for the last 10 years.
Where is the accountability?
Aziz rawks.
Pity, Pity 3:07. I really got your stupid A$$ showing how smart you really are. Go out and educate yourself on Company/Union relations before you come on here and show your stupidity. Companies make the rules, not the Union. And it is up to Management to see that the employees follow those rules. It is the same for non-union shops.
Southwest is the most heavily unionized company and they do better than the suck ass companies most of you are employed at. Go to AAcareers and see the staring pay for the union jobs.....about 9 bucks an hour. You dumbasses have no clue.
I have seen the Union books and NOWHERE can you miss 3 days without showing up, if you do, you fired yourself. You crybabies need to thank the labor movement for your wages, weekends, and safety rules that others had their legs cut off on the rails , or burned to death in a mill to protect your sorry carcas. Most of the idiots that write these comments are middle class working folks that are too lazy to better themselves and blame others for choosing a crap career.
