- Stolen from Newsweek: "Every time I look at the economy I think President Obama can't win. And ever time I look at the Republican field I think he can't lose."
- The Kids In The House accused me of having "frown smile." That's when I try to express displeasure at their shenanigans but I can't suppress that I think a particular event was funny. "Your mouth goes frown-smile-frown-smile-frown-smile!"
- Former SMU runningback and ESPN commentator Craig James is running for the U.S. Senate. By doing so, he just proved he is living in a fantasy world because he's about to learn what the public thinks of his Helicopter Parenting techniques. (Back on March 7th he floated the idea of running on WBAP, and I wrote then about how he just got roasted by callers.) Edit: The blow back has already begun.
- A Bridgeport player, Trent Shuett, made the Associated Press 3A All-State High School Football Team. (That name reminds me of "Dwight Shrute.")
- Maybe my favorite character in any movie is Gary Oldman brief appearance playing Drexl Spivey in True Romance (1993). The movie, which has never received its due, was a precursor to Pulp Fiction.
- I hate the word "gotten" when it is spoken. To see it in print makes me insane.
- I attended a Christmas middle school band concert last night. And I'm still here.
- College football at the Division III level has a playoff. Sound good? This weekend the same two teams will play for the championship for the seventh year in a row.
- Time announced its Person Of The Year this morning. Who is it? "The Protester". How generic can you get?
- When Hal Jay on WBAP learned of the Time announcement at 8:04 a.m. he said, "They are a bunch of nuts and low life scumbags that don't want to work." I'm sure those protesters of the Arab Spring appreciate his characterization. (Have I asked "how does that man have a job?" enough?)
- If you haven't heard about Jerry Sandusky's lawyer's "1-800-REALITY" gaffe yesterday, you've got to read about it.
- The Update will tell you today, I think for the seventh day in a row, that some changeover on highway 380 east of Decatur is again delayed. Hey, it's a road change. Not the opening of a bullet train to Denton.

She is....ok
Is today white boy day?
Awesome girl today. Wow. Very nice.
I am in full agreement with the Newsweek statement. And I'm a Republican!
At least the two teams in the NCAA Division III Football Championship game EARNED it!
Yep, your constant rants about Hal Jay have gotten out of hand.
Congratulations to Trent Schuett. He deserves all the recognition he has gotten
There...you are insane now!
Amendola, Sandusky's attorney, is a full-blown idiot. If he wanted to test the alleged victims' credibility, as he says, why didn't he go forward with the preliminary hearing so that he could cross-examine them and get information that could be used to go find out if their stories are consistent and corroborated? Sure he was going to lose the hearing because the burden of proof at the hearing is very low on the prosecution and the victims' testimony at that hearing must be presumed true, but he still could have gotten some valuable information. What's he afraid of? Not that I agree with the outcome of the OJ Simpson trial, but remember the preliminary hearing in THAT case? They didn't waive it. They found out a lot of information which was turned against the prosecution during the trial. Sandusky can afford better representation than this. If he can't he should go with an appointed attorney. Couldn't do any worse.
True Romance=greatness.
I have gotten accused of the frown smile before too. There have been times I have gotten the frown smile cuz I have gotten upset with my kids after they have gotten in trouble, but tried to hide it. I have gotten to the point where I know what they have done. I guess I really have gotten old.....
Certain States will always vote for Obama. However, he is losing in critical States such as Florida that he won last election. Most of the liberal media polls don't want to print that.
barr, sorry to report i have gotten off jury duty so i wont be reportin 'live' . oh well
Sandusky will never go to trial. He'll kill himself first rather than face his accusers.
Have you googled Craig James? There appears to be a lot of unsupported chatter about whether Craig James killed five hookers at SMU.
Craig James is the hardest working man in show business.
Comments like that one about the Republican presidential candidates are just partisan jabs with no basis in fact. The Republican field has more experience and qualifications, and less scandal, than the '08 Democrats had, including the winner. (You can look here for the comparisons.)
When I look at Obama, I wonder how he ever got elected.
When I look at the voters, I think they have gotten lazy and stupid.
God save us from a second term.
I'm sure those protesters of the Arab Spring don't even get WBAP from over there. I wonder if TIME will have on the cover the protester defecating on the police car.(or was he teabagging the police car.)
Exposed: Bacon is a fat chick
Those kids ought to transfer to Decatur.
Decatur is the only district in the county where you graduate after 4 years regardless of whether you passed any classes.
I've really gotten to like this blog.
Congrats Trent and also to Coleman Stapp, 2nd team Linebacker from Decatur, Colby Mahon, honorable mention Quarterback from Bridgeport and Luke Simmons, honorable mention offensive line from Bridgeport.

Who did not earn a trip to a championship game?
Wordkyle,
In some countries, experienced politicians end up being hung due to their past atrocities against the people.
If anything in this country, the more experienced you are in politics the more easily you can manipulate public perception. One of the reasons Obama drew such a large following was because of the "lack" of experience.
Chuck Norris for President!!!!
RC - You're the only person I've heard or seen claiming Obama's lack of experience was the reason for his "large following." Although it's not the most ridiculous of reasons people supported Obama, (his ability to halt the rise of the oceans and to heal the planet may have influenced some) I haven't found any info to support your point. On what do you base that claim?
As for manipulating public perception, it certainly helps if you have the mainstream media on your side.

Those that are put there only by the generosity of voters. Who knows who the best team is if it's not decided on the field.
Trent Schuett deserves all the accolades that are written about him. He was fun to watch play football.

If yo want me to send you the other 200k articles talking about change vs experience, then I can
9:14,
Every team is put where they are by voters. So I suppose in your opinion no one should play for a NC? If you are that hurt butt about it, don't watch...
RC - So you are saying "promises of change" = "lack of experience"? You possess a special kind of vision indeed to define those two concepts the same way.
From the 200k articles that are available, it would appear that "change" is what he promised, and "lack of experience" is what he had.
If Craig James is elected, I will lose my remaining faith in this country. He laughs off the money allegation at SMU. He helped to ruin Mike Leach's career at Tech. He poses as a "Christian". When will the indiscretions be exposed and the apologies and the requests for forgiveness happen? How soon? He is one example of what is wrong with America........and I am more conservative than liberal.
I think its pretty well known that Craig James got money and a car for going to SMU. Since he can be bought, he seems to be well qualified for a political career.
Hey, if Joe Biden can be Vice President, I see no reason Craig James can't become a senator.
10;12 if we're lucky.
rage and remote controller;
I have done some researching of my own. When you are arguing with wordklye you are arguing with a 38 year old mother of 3 in Lubbock that flunked two courses in journalism before dropping out of Tech. I wouldn't put too much effort into that project.
