- Lake Bridgeport will probably rise a little over two feet due to the storms and will remain about two feet low. [Edit: I meant "ten feet low". Really. I knew that.] It takes about a four day storm over the watershed to see a dramatic change. (I just like saying "watershed.")
- At 5:30 this morning, I stumbled upon the semi-final match of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal at the Australian Open. I couldn't (and probably wouldn't) sit around and watch it, but live sports before dawn is cool.
- I follow a country pastor on Facebook who just oozes hatred. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen.
- The Arizona governor sticking her finger in the President's face did her party no favors with that sign of disrespect.
- In a press release yesterday by Garland police about the murder of a 40 year old by two teenage girls he had met in a hotel to share sex, drugs, and alcohol, I loved this sentence: "At some point during the night, the party got out of hand," At some point? How about the moment they walked through the door.
- Odd conversation with Mrs. LL last night: If I have felt better because of adding a salad to every meal, is it because there is something intrinsic in lettuce or is it because it is "empty calories" simply taking the place of bad food?
- I saw an old girlfriend firing off real time Facebook pics from a bar last night. You know, it was good to be home.
- WBAP's Hal Jay on Tom Brady this morning: "He does have kind of that scumbag side to him." Really?
- A jury begins deliberating today whether to give the death penalty to a guy who killed two people during a robbery. Although death sentences are becoming less frequent, if they don't vote for it in this case then there truly is a change in the wind in Texas on the issue of capital punishment.
- But the Tarrant County DA's office will be tweeting about the verdict like they were watching a high school football game.
- A name connected with a famous Tarrant County murder case that I hadn't thought about in years: Kristi Koslow.
- Several buildings of the Selwyn School in Denton (off to the right as you drive towards I-35) burned this morning. As a kid, I'd look at it and think really smart kids probably went there. I was probably right. (That link has a picture of the fire.)
- Another wrong way crash on the Dallas tollway last night. Seems like it had been a few months since we have had one.
- I couldn't pic Lamar (Kardashian) Odom out of a lineup, but everyone sure is griping about how he couldn't care less to be a Dallas Maverick. Yet another reason rent-a-player killed pro sports.

I like todays girl BG. GJ
Concerning the Arizon governor sticking her figner at the President...
I suppose as a Democrat, it's worth your while saying that this was a sign of disrespect...and then mention nothing else.
Of course, if you cared to comment on the entire news article, your loyal readers would know that the governer was giving back as much as she was given.
The Arizona Governor "incident" will garner two reactions. The hardline Republicans will cheer her, believing that Obama deserves no respect, while not realizing that moderates will be put off by her actions.
Obama's lucky that's all he got from the feisty Arizona governor. I disagree with BG's opinion on this one (and I'm not a Republican) -- her stock value rises because of her finger-pointing.
8:50 beat me to it. But yes, independent voters will not view the incident favorably.
Kristi Koslow still in jail. She was adopted by Jack Koslow and Caren Koslow was her stepmother. Her real mother and Jack are dead now. One of her friends was executed for killing Jack and Caren. The other is still in jail.
She was a teen with no remorse.
If you will read the article, you will find out that Obama started out on the Governor because she had portrayed him badly in a book that she wrote. Seems that I also read that he did the same to Bobby Jindal when he wrote something about Obama in a book.
Apparently, Obama is not used to people actually printing the truth about him.
Miss Koslow definitely didn't learn that inheritance is not a given. Talked two clods into trying to kill daddy & stepmom to speed up her estate payday. Wonder how she is enjoying the Women's Unit of the TDCJ? Think she gets any Xmas cards from her father who survived the attack? Nope, I don't either.

How is the finger pointing bad in this case? Obama gets off the in plane Arizona armed with a part of her book (he did not even read) where he thinks he looks bad.....SERIOUSLY that is the only thing he has to think about....is looking bad in a book?! Wow! Maybe he needs another round of golf to calm down.
Man that one girl that killed that guy looks like a man, tough to look at both of them.
Ready for my Kristi Koslow story, On the night of Jack Koslows Murder i had ran into a Block Buster Video store in Arlington right at closing time to get a couiple movies and change my memebrship to that store, the clerk was struggling with the task at hand and went to get a CoWorker to help with the process, this young man comes to her aid and was very sweaty and aggitated and put out by the request, he struggled and finally stared at me with a icy stare and said here take the movies at no charge and i will change it later and will not charge you, we had a long stare and i was pissed he was being a ass, i grabbed the movies and card and said someting to the extent of FO and left..the next morning Im reading the paper and see where jack koslow wife was killed and he seriously injured and all over the news, later i seen where they had arrested jeffrey Dillingham at the Arlington Blockbuster and it dawned on me he was checking me out an couple of hours before the murder, hence the sweaty nervous attitude, then a few days later I go into Leito Supply a masonry supply company on 820 and theres sits jack the owner who looked like he had been attacked by a mountain lion
Obammy, The one we've been waiting for to the one we can't wait to kick out.
BG, I know you're a big lawyer and all that, but you need correcting. Yes, the lake is up 2 feet from these recent rains, and we are so thankful to God for sending those rains our way. But the lake is still down 10 feet, not 2 feet as you state in your article. I knew you would want to hear the truth. ...........

Senior Night @ Stagecoach Ballroom?
I think the assumed reaction of "moderates" and "independents" to the Obama confrontation is presumptuous. Do those groups have more respect for politicians -- or for Obama, for that matter -- than those who declare a party affiliation? Likely 10% will be delighted, 10% will be offended, and the rest couldn't care less.
Good for Arizona gov to correct the King. I know it is dangerous to stand up against big people in name only, but it had to be done. Obamy needs some guidance and correction from time to time. I wish more people had the balls to do what she did! We might be better off!
Lake Bridgeport will probably rise a little over two feet due to the storms and will remain about two feet low. It takes about a four day storm over the watershed to see a dramatic change. (I just like saying "watershed.")
You might want to re-calculate that, hoss.
The news station I watched last night said the lake was up 3 ft.
Lake bport will rise apprxamtly 5 feet and remain 7-8 feet low.
Df t saylor
Jan Brewer for President!
Bottom Line: It's rude to point your finger at anyone. You should always respect the office of the president. She was out of line and it portrayed her in a bad way. As a representative of Arizona, she should conduct herself in a more professional and dignified manner. Is it any wonder that young people today have such bad manners and lack of respect? People in high ranking positions need to keep this in mind prior to making a bad example.
9:58, You are the poster child of the thenthitive liberal weenie.
Obama walked away from Gov. Brewer, after trying to scold her for what she said about him in her book that he didn't like! How about him showing her the respect she deserves as Gov. of Arizona, the state he was visiting at the time. He is so much like a spoiled, arrogant, child, it's truly unbelievable!!
Seems like the Brewer/Obama incident is red meat for both sides.
Unfortunately for Brewer, though, O is more photogenic, so she comes looking like the crazy one, whether she is or not.
Two politicians having words on an airport tarmac. Who EXCEPT partisans could get excited about that?
I follow this lawyer on the web that just oozes hatred.
I am "old school" and believe the the POTUS should be respected regardless of the indiviaual who holds the office or political affiliation.
However, I also believe that Barack Obama has done more to cause a decline in respect for the POTUS than any other POTUS except Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon because of his weak stand on patriotism and pride in America.
How can a lake that is 10 ft. low remain 10 ft. low if 2 ft. is added to it? Maybe you should have gotten your education at Selwyn.
Was Brewer scolding him about all the headless bodies that have popped up in the desert since she's been in office?
Can somebody remind me how many she's found so far?
958 - The reports are that Obama got off the plane with a chip on his shoulder. Does all of your criticism also apply to him? Should she have to stand there and take rude behavior from him? Gov. Brewer is not Obama's subordinate, nor -- with how his administration has treated her state -- is he her friend. Bottom line: Tit for tat.
wk said..
"Do those groups have more respect for politicians -- or for Obama, for that matter -- than those who declare a party affiliation?"
No, they have more intelligence. It is a lack of intelligence to show that kind of disrespect for any president. you should know this seein' as how you try to project intelligence.
10:58...i have to disagree with your perspective. it isn't rude to point your figer @ someone. Poke them in the chest with said finger, yeah, that's rude, and in somme circles it will get you punched, but pointing almost screasm "i'm really pissed and want to poke you in the chest with my finger, but i'm showing you some degree of respect." And any respect Obama gets is going to come from the office he holds, not to him as an individual.
WK called Jan Brewer a tit and Obama a tat!
Or was it the other way around?
Enquiring minds want to know
Half-Baked Supermarket Checkout Line Guy
She should have kicked him in his Kenwaiian potus pouch!!!
Those two ho's accused of murder in Garland look like niggas. And they done went and deep-sixed a greaser.
America Rocks!
Equal Opportunity Cheerleader Guy
Obama met with Brewer at the white house a couple of years ago. in her book she says he treated her badly. She handed him an invitation for a meeting. He simply asked if she was going to misrepresent that meeting as she had done in her book about the white house meeting.
I think her finger pointing looked like a gun and the secret service should have shot her on the spot.
from usa today
“The governor handed the President a letter and said she was inviting him to meet with her. The President said he’d be glad to meet with her again, but did note that after their last meeting, a cordial discussion in the Oval Office, the governor inaccurately described the meeting in her book. The President looks forward to continuing taking steps to help Arizona’s economy grow.”
11:24, When you quote USA today in saying that Obammy wants to help Arizona's economy grow, are you referring to the funeral home economy? By allowing ATF to smuggle guns into Mexico for the drug cartels that use them to murder American citizens, border patrol agents and their own ATF agents?
11:24 thanks for trying to bring some detail and civility to the Az meeting. Sure sounds counter to much blather on this blog.
11:19 I only wished they had shot at her and missed just a little to the right.
Show Kristi some love LOL http://www.writeaprisoner.com/Template.aspx?i=z-677795
You must give respect in order to receive it.
Regarding salad with every meal...
I would suggest Mrs. LL is referring to the benefits of additional roughage in your diet to help keep that old man colon of yours clean and functioning properly. You know you've shown concern on that issue in the past.(IE, remember the cleansing episode?)
It's either that, or she is concerned with how the salad is being tossed.
10:13
The Lake was 12' low 12-2=10 I learned that in Elementary Shcool!
Shcool?
And you are critiquing Barry?
The lake is 47 feet low and after the watershed hits, it will only be 36 feet low
1044 - Several points I'd love for you to elaborate on. How does having no party affiliation prove intelligence? What is the connection between intelligence and showing disrespect for the President? And last but not least, what leads you to believe that I'm trying to "project intelligence?"
Green you missed the most important news item of the day: Paula Deen ATE.A.CHEESEBURGER!!!!
OH.MY.GOD
12:56, I'm glad you passed remedial math in a government run public school. Now go back and take remedial reading. They will teach you to understand that the way Skippy edited his statement that a lake can't remain 10 ft. low if 2 ft. is added.
10:02....you are the poster child for a judgemental and politically incorrect fool. "thinthitive?"...what exactly are you hinting at here? You are exactly proving my point...just hope you don't have children that you are teaching this logic to. They have enough problems in the public system today!
11:19 too bad it wasn't a gun and big ears was shot on the spot.
Millions will cheer!
10:44 here
I was referring to moderates and independents having the intelligence to realize that Brewer's action was disrespectful. Contrast that with folks that say "Obammy" and "nigger" who thought her action was just fine. If you think that folks on here don't know you TRY to project intelligence you are living in a fool's paradise.
237/1044 - That it?, You simply change what you said, and abandon all commitment to the rest?
I'm disappointed. I expected more. I know, I know, you're an Anon, and I should have known better, but still...
Attention DUMB A$$es!
I just read this article on Yahoo News. It's titled "Low IQ & Conservative Beliefs Linked to Prejudice".
When are you ultra serious posters gonna figure out that you are being anonymously baited with the racist stuff. Just havin a little fun, nigga. Come on, gimme sumthin to chuckle about.
Its okay to point your Finger at it, he'e a Coon, there used to it
3:52 In your post, It should have been "It's", finger is lower case, he'e I suppose is he's, there should be their and there is no period.
Just wondering where you obtained what you believe is an education.
9:23 Interesting. I too new Jack Koslow but only because I worked for a company doing busines with his company. He came in the office a month or so after the crime acting no different. He was not a personable type guy. I heard he never talked to Kristi after she was sentenced. She was adopted..not his real daughter and I doubt she ever received the nurturing kind of love from him. Sad.
It was meant at the Monkey, i refuse to use his name. i was banging the teacher and smoking weed but if you want to compare pay stubs thats cool, so FO
If you are under 30 years old and not a liberal, you have no heart. If you are over 30 years old and not a conservative, you have no brain.
Heard this my whole life. Seems to be true.
2:14, Thanks for proving my point about being a thenthitive liberal weenie.
If someone makes a false claim about someone and that someone responds to the claim that someone is being defensive?
This site posts daily Texas lake level readings to the nearest 1/100 of a foot:
http://wiid.twdb.state.tx.us/ims/resinfo/BushButton/lakeStatus.asp?selcat=3&slbasin=19
As of today it is 10.10 feet below the top of the Conservation Pool.
Us conservatives just deal with the facts.
Caren was always afraid if wildd animals where she vacationed near Almont Colorado.Shows one that they never know what can happen.Step daughter should have been dead since the day after the trial.
4:34...why you riding that person????? You just don't get it....
4:34, thanks for being in touch with young people while driving you Cadillac and listen to Bach.
