- I've seen on TV a lot of folks who have had lower leg amputations being able to run with those high tech J-shaped foot replacements. But I have never seen one in real life despite the the ten half marathons I have run in.
- I watched the first half of the Fox Republican Debate last night, and I actually felt the frustration experienced by the conservatives. That group will drive you insane. (And I've never seen so many candidates simply ignore a question completely and begin with "What we really should be talking about is . . . . ")
- And for those that watched it, wasn't that the longest and most confusing question ever thrown at Rick Perry -- the one concerning something that happened when he was Agricultural Commissioner?
- I heard that the infant abuse investigation in Boyd is going no where and that it would be surprising if charges were filed.
- This morning I looked down at the Family Cat's water bowl and saw a Christmas ball floating in it. That feline has upped her game. It's gone to Taunting Level.
- The Feds are after Sheriff Joe in Arizona for discrimination. I'm torn on this one. I'm certainly inclined to believe the charges are true, but I also thinks the Feds are picking on him for being a conservative outspoken redneck.
- That was a pretty genius comment that first appeared under the Boyd car vs. train wreck blog post yesterday -- something like, "I didn't even know my momma got out of prison." (At least it is if you get it.)
- There's a chance this "I want to be Tony Montana" drug case against Sam Hurd implicates a bunch of NFL players as well. This could be really, really big.
- I got a letter from DPS telling me my license is up for renewal but that I've got to renew it in person and bring my social security card. And to think I almost got away with being an illegal alien after all of these years.
- I would think a miscarriage would be so emotionally devastating that it could cause serious long term issues if not dealt with properly. But society doesn't even seem to give it the same level of sympathy as even a divorce.
- An acquaintance of mine posted a "I hate the holidays" post on Facebook. I replied underneath it with some of my world renowned comedy gold. Then I got an email from a close friend of his saying, "Call me and I'll tell you what is going on between he and his wife. You'll freak." Uh. Oh.
- I think this is the aspiring Paradise, Texas model.
- Sports Idiot?: I love ESPN's 30 for 30 documentaries and had been seeing quick promos for the new one about Todd Marinovich. It wasn't until this morning that I learned that I had mistakenly thought the documentary was about Tony Mandarich.
- Current Events Idiot?: Seeing lots of remarks about the death of Christopher Hitchens this morning. I'm thinking, "Who?"
- The Update has been referring to former Cowboy Walt Garrison making an appearance around here and kept mentioning he was named one of "The Top 50 Dallas Cowboys Of All Time" in 2009. I figured that was probably true, but I wondered what list they were talking about. The only one I could find was one from the Dallas Morning News. Garrison came in at #47.
- The Update also has a funeral listing for a 23 year old out of Mineral Wells. Turns out she was a shooting victim. What's the Wise County connection?

I would have thought Christopher Hitchens would be in your wheelhouse. His militant anti-Christian atheism made him popular among Liberal elites.
A news story for those who hate Christmas: "Anonymous donors pay off Kmart layaway accounts". For some reason, Earth Day doesn't inspire the same generosity and caring for one's fellow man.
Dude, why didn't you use that Paradise model as your Random Girl. Wow. I mean, WOW!
I wonder what the bottom half of the RTG pic looks like.
Today's girl is udderly incredible!!! I like the words on the sign behind her. Quite fitting.
RTG FAIL IMHO
The bigger the girl's boob job....the lower her self esteem is!
9:11 You say that as if that's an issue.
today's RT pic:
Looks like MTV has found more reality gold with this one -
Attack of the Jersey Shore Cougars!
The sign should say
Enjoy the faker things in life

SHE IS FINE
Wordkyle, you seem to forget that Hitchens was a Bush supporter, was anti-Clinton, and big supporter of the Iraq War.
Infant abuse investigation going nowhere.
Well it is aqn election year, after all. The DA's office had to at least try for some way to make a conviction or place blame... ♫
Re: Sheriff Joe, Obama's brown shirts are after him. Chicago Mafia style.
Devil - I didn't forget, but you're right about Hitchens' positchens.
Devil, You forgot also that most all the liberal weenies in Congress were for the war in Iraq also until Bush made it happen and then it was the worst thing a sitting President could do.
WOW, guess i need to join Twitter
“That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”

10:48 I didn't forget, but what does that have to do with my comments on Hitchens? He supported the war when it became unpopular as did I.
The Devil calling wordkyle on the mat. Seems as though the world may actually end this December, instead of the next.
Hitchens was a virulent character for sure, but his writings are important and something we can all learn from. No matter what your faith may be.

B:
All of the amputees were (way) in front of you.
Those that don't get the mama/train line got no bidness in Wise County.
Barry, I love to hear your comments about the antics of your feline friend, got to love our kitties!!!!
Hillary Clinton on the Senate floor explaining why we need to attack Iraq:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkS9y5t0tR0
She had the same intelligence access that the President had. There is no question that Saddam Hussein used poison gas on the Iranians and on his own people. It was confirmed by U.N. officials. Liberals are liars. Maybe pathological, but still liars.
Similar statements were made by most all liberals including husband Bill and Ted Kennedy.
Devil, What did Wordkyle's comments have to do with him forgetting, which I'm sure he didn't, about Hitchen's Bush support, anti-Clinton and support of the Iraq war?
10:48
You forgot that Bush said Saddam had weapons of mass destruction and was ready to use them which brought everyone on board. They turned against the war when they found out it was based on a lie and they were duped by the Bushies.

Barry, why don't you just get two large silicon implants and photgraph them in a dress?
Thought on Paradise model .... DAMN!!!!!
Libs are never going to admit that Clinton, Biden and Kennedy were all fed the same intel, shown the same pics and heard testimony from the same folks and ALL agreed that Hussein (the dead one... not the idiot in the White House) had to be stopped. Not to mention the entire UN security council. Get over it you freaking crybabies. Go hug a tree or find a successful motivated person to berate.
I'll bet there's NO WAY that anyone can find any other pictures of the Paradise model. I don't think it can be done. There's just no way to find 'em. And I'll bet that even if they COULD find them, they couldn't get them to Barry so he could post 'em here. Nope....
:)
11:48, find me a single instance where I or anyone else denied that many (most, even) Democrats said we should invade. Jesus Christ, learn to read.
And by the same intelligence, do you mean the intelligence that was basically manufactured by Cheney, that was so weak and such an embarrassment that Colin Powell's conscience forced him to resign rather than continue to be part of the farce?
Rage
11:48, I forgot to address this:
There is no question that Saddam Hussein used poison gas on the Iranians and on his own people.
Of course we know he did. We're the ones that sold him the gas. The French sold him the manufacturing facilities.
But those were all outdated and from the Iran-Iraq war decades before. Or from gassing the Kurds, which we also knew about.
The issue was whether or not he had the capacity to do anything outside his own borders by the time we invaded, and the answer was a resounding 'no.'
Everybody knows that now. But only people like you continue to make excuses for the invasion.
Rage
Libs are never going to admit that Clinton, Biden and Kennedy were all fed the same intel, shown the same pics and heard testimony from the same folks and ALL agreed that Hussein
For the 50th time, I have never denied that.
Are you people really that dumb? Or do you think that if you say something enough times people will believe you.
Rage
For the 51st time. Rage, You are a blithering idiot.
So, I guess the answer is yes, you are that dumb.

Since we're rehashing Iraq and wmd, here's something in February of this year from this very forum :
"Any claims that Iraq neither had, nor intended to use, WMDs are simply false. The big Wikileaks revelations last fall -- certainly not designed to compliment the Bush administration -- show that up until 2009:
"1) WMDs continued to be found. In spite of UN weapons inspections. Not in the quantities we believed, and not in an ongoing program. But they existed.
2) Chemical labs continued to be found.
3) Insurgent chemical weapons specialists were captured.
(Pick among the numerous resources here.)"
And the yellowcake uranium that made Joe Wilson and his wife Valerie Plame so famous? The substance that can be refined to make nuclear weapons? The US government removed 1.2 million pounds of it from Iraq. If we listen to the ongoing Liberal revisionist spin, we can rest easy believing that Saddam Hussein had only the best of intentions.
You decide what the truth is. Here is only a small amount of information the Congress used to decide to wage war:
"In 2000, Iraq ordered, via a company in Jordan, 60,000 high-strength aluminum tubes manufactured from 7075-T4 aluminum with an outer diameter of 81 mm, and an inner diameter of 74.4 mm, a wall thickness of 3.3 mm and a length of 900 mm, to be manufactured in China. These tubes were classified as controlled items by the United Nations and Iraq was not permitted to import them.[2]
The order was placed with an Australian company, International Aluminum Supply (IAS), which was associated with Kam Kiu Propriety Limited, a subsidiary of the Chinese company that would do the manufacturing. Concerned that the tubes might be related to Iraqi efforts to reconstitute its nuclear weapons program, Garry Cordukes, the director of the company, contacted the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS). In turn, ASIS notified U.S. intelligence services.
ASIS also asked Cordukes to obtain a sample of the tubes for examination. He obtained one and handed it over to the ASIS.
On May 23, 2001, a container load of about 3,000 aluminum tubes left the factory in southern China. It traveled on a barge to Hong Kong. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was watching its progress, as was the ASIS. In July 2001, the tubes were seized in Jordan by the Jordianian secret police and the CIA, according to a CIA presentation later that year.[3]
Iraq also attempted to acquire aluminum tubes of the same type in late 2002 and early 2003, with negotiations still going on with a Syrian company when the 2003 Invasion of Iraq began."
Just because the finished nerve gas was not found does not mean that it was not manufactured or about to be manufactured. I believe that Hillary Clinton was correct in voting for the war and that the information provided her was credible intelligence. U.N. officials who inspected the dead bodied in Iran said their death was caused by gas used by Iraq.
11:50, Here's a little tidbit for you, I knew he intentionally left them out. WK knew that stuff would come out on here anyway so he took his opportunity to gig BG instead. That is what he was telling me at 10:21.
Rage at 11:15 2nd paragraph, I couldn't agree more! That should definately bump things up a year!
rage you are nothing but a harry end of a gut..
Libs and Conservatives are wacko!
Could Paradise model get any hotter?
Twins! Thank you, Jesus.
"I would think a miscarriage would be so emotionally devastating that it could cause serious long term issues if not dealt with properly. But society doesn't even seem to give it the same level of sympathy as even a divorce."
Why would society think anything about it. Isn't it just a natural abortion. Surprised a lib like you would even give it a second thought.
ALL I KNOW FOR A FACT IS THAT IF THEY DON'T START ASKING YES OR NO QUESTIONS IN THE PRESIDENTAL DEBATES, RICK PERRY WILL NOT BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!
Rage is the kid we all knew in elementary school that was the last kid picked for whatever game was being played.
His only power was to take the ball and go home.
Rage does not read or research, he watches the evening news for all the facts. That is how he knows everything.
Christopher Hitchens is all dressed up with no place to go!
The Real Billy
Barry--Do you remember the rants and stupid things said at the last Democratic arguments? Some actually call them a debate.....
Yes, a miscarriage can be devastating, but it's usually nature's way of taking care of a baby that shouldn't be born.
I know, I've had two. At first I was really upset, but when I saw my neighbor's child with multiple birth defects, I knew I was the lucky one. Then her baby died at 8 months. That was infinitely worse!!
Many people don't choose to share the info with friends, it's just too personal. I was lucky again, because I already had one great child, then I had another one after the two miscarriages.
No drugs or alcohol were involved.
