- Dallas motorcycle death over the weekend. This one involved an off-duty police officer and, as we see all the time, it happened by wrecking and falling from an overpass.
- If you are a Cowboys fan and an Aggie fan, you've experienced a lifetime of last second collapses this season.
- Did Cowboys defensive cooridinator Rod Ryan swallow another beach ball?
- Heard this morning that when Jerry Jones is shown in his suite, everyone is focusing on his over-reacting grandkid. He's been named "Spalding" by the Twitterworld in honor of the Caddyshack character. (Here's an image of them.)
- Jones almost opened the roof last night but decided against it due to the threat of rain. It's been opened twice for games in its history -- both night games. Someone has speculated that it will never be opened during the day because the sun and big screen don't mix. I believe that.
- A howling dog ruined any chance of sleep for me last night.
- The Star-Telegram reported on Friday that the EPA planned to designate Wise County as "a nonattainment area for failing to meet federal ozone." I've yet to see anyone explain what the consequences of that designation are.
- Joe Paterno broke his pelvis over the weekend. There has been lots of speculation that he continued to coach because he feared his health would deteriorate if he didn't. He remembers Bear Bryant dying four weeks after announcing his retirement in the early 1980s.
- I was really "off the grid" this weekend.
- I woke up one morning to find a long note from Mrs. LL that she was testing a project to protect the Christmas tree from the cat. I then noticed long strips of tape, placed upside down, around the base of the tree. Then the note said it didn't work and, "The cat is in the garage." I then looked up and saw the cat walk past me toward the tree. That girl ain't right.
- Conservatives have been attacking the declining unemployment rate claiming "It doesn't include people that have given up looking for work." True, but that's the way it always has been calculated so the number is what the number is.
- The Third Grader In The House has taken up "Cup Stacking" complete with a mat with a built in timer.
- The Republican contenders all ganged up on Newt during Saturday's debate. They could be a science project of how they all devour whoever amongst them rises to the top.

Today's pic....you're trying to be funny.....right?
The non-attainment status affects car registration tests and fuel pumps at gas stations. We would go to Stage I and Stage II requirements to contain vapors at the pump and filling of the tanks. Higher fees (taxes) on anything related to fuel purchase.

Not so great today.

Dallas motorcycle death...
Karma...?
"Conservatives have been attacking the declining unemployment rate claiming "It doesn't include people that have given up looking for work." True, but that's the way it always has been calculated so the number is what the number is."
True, but the difference is that if this were a Republican administration our Democrat lapdog mainstream media would be beating us over the head every day with what the ACTUAL unemployment numbers likely are, instead of glossing over this fact.
In fact, we would see nightly stories about people who are unemployed and have given up looking for work, and no longer count on the official unemployment rolls because of the harsh, cruel policies of _____ (insert name of unsympathetic Republican president here).
Instead, as long as a Democrat holds the White House, such people are a phantam as far as the media is concerned.
Sorry....I used to work in newspapers as a reporter.....I've heard the things that are said behind closed doors about conservatives. Reporters and editors (even at local papers) are extremely hostile to them!
@ 9:27, If you have personal experience, good info that you believe to be true and relevant, why do you end w/ apology?
I don't doubt that an increase in gas production leads to increased emissions, but the EPA is saying that the testing in Denton Co. and at Eagle Mtn. Lake prove that Wise is responsible. I say we employ the old challenge: "Whoever smelt it - dealt it!"
They're also saying that large gains in population are responsible. Based on these figures? You kidding me?
2010 census pop. - <60,000
avg per sq.mi. - ~65
Avg gain per year since last census - ~1,000
Are you saying that Rob (not Rod) Ryan now has TWO beach balls lodged in his digestive system? There's no evidence that he's ever passed the first one

Big Ed, I don't know anything about regulations at the fuel pumps. I do know that car inspection is a lot more expensive in Denton County because we have to pass that emissions test. I had to get rid of a trusty Honda that still got 38 mpg on the highway but it couldn't pass the test.
My newer vehicle doesn't come close to getting 38 mpg.
I've always thought Alec Baldwin is a jerk! His SNL skit confirmed it for me!!

Thanks for admitting the republicans are trying to pull a quick BS campaign.

You also can't get any new industry that might add to it, like cement plants, power plants, etc.

Regarding the unemployment rate, you're right about how it's measured. Those who have given up are not considered to be in the "labor force," and not considered unemployed. Check this out to see how the size of what's called the "labor force" has dropped since Obama took office. One way to lower unemployment is to have more jobs. The other way is to simply quit counting people as being unemployed.

Nope, no liberal bias, huh?
The unemployment numbers are bogus. The stats are not counted as they've always been counted. See Shawdowstats.com for the true numbers. Obama is manipulating the numbers for reelection reasons. Also, have you heard of the birth-death model? It's an extremely unreliable method of projecting or estimating new jobs. Unemployment in the Great Depression of the 1930's was 25%. Using the same methods today, unemployment would be 22%.
Please be nice with you comments. The girl on the left is part of Obama's Green Energy program. As she gets in and out of the water, the turbines move, generating clean energy.

Wind Power? Present wind speed at Roscoe, Texas, site of world's largest wind farm, is 6 mph. Present output of wind turbines in Texas is less than 20% of nameplate capacity. That dog won't hunt. They work real well in late March when the wind is blowing. Problem is that at that time temperatures are around 70 degrees and no one needs to run their central heat or a/c. On the positive side they have chopped up 2,000 endangered golden eagles at Altamont Pass. That is helping the sheep ranchers.

Rage, I think you would win the top prize for twisting words on here, just don't seem to like a taste of your own medicine! Typical liberal can dish it but can't take it!
Keep on trying, that little attempted smackdown tactic was old three days after blogging was invented!
Incidentally, Ezra Klein, writing in the Washington Post -- neither party known for being at all sympathetic to Conservatives -- wrote an article agreeing with the Conservative point about Obama's unemployment numbers. Real unemployment number, according to Klein? More like 11% .
In regard to today's hot lady pix: were drugs or alcohol involved?
Please inform me of how I am to be considered a liberal.
In constructing (fabricating) your answer, please remember the post I authored a while back in response to what I believe was either you or that toolbag Secret Police (who is probably you) on the things I would do to "fix" the economy.
Also note that I am pro gun, personally pro life, and pro death penalty.
Good luck.

Economics. You seem to like Obama and his policies. Bush was a progressive, but Obama is Bush squared.

hang some big jingle bells in tree so you hear when cat gets in it. Squirt bottle with water. When you hear cat at tree....tell her NO, and squirt her with water. Don't get the lights on tree :-)
All the sheep farmer has to do is vidio (that eagle) killing that sheep and drive forty miles one way to town and fill out ten pages of reports and get paid for his animal.Easier to just shoot the eagle and they are not really endangered.
On Paterno: statistics show that folks suffering a broken hip often die within a year. Before a Sandusky trial?
