Random Thursday Morning Thoughts


  • There was a meteor over North Texas last night and one of the strangest pictures of it was sent into WFAA by Tully Hannah of Bridgeport.
  • The best photo of it (if real) is here. (Facebook.)
  • American Airlines is shedding jobs while BNSF Railroad will spend almost $4 billion on capital improvements in 2012 alone. This is 2012, isn't it?
  • Had a report that a Boyd student held up a "Got Meth?" sign at the Boyd/Paradise basketball game on Tuesday night. He was allegedly kicked out. 
  • Rick Perry's buddy and fired Aggie gets a "newly created" position at DPS for a salary of $147,500.  Who do I report this crime to?
  • "Phil? Hey, Phil? Phil! Phil Connors? Phil Connors, I thought that was you!"
  • Rich guy adopts 42 year old hot girlfriend as his daughter so she can get 1/3 of the money from a trust fund set up for his children because he's being sued for killing a guy while driving drunk and the lawsuit can't touch the trust fund. Got that? 
  • From the Update this morning regarding Northwest High students signing scholarships yesterday: "Allen Young will head to Truman State to play football. Christian Davila inked with Friends University and Dominic Stewart with Southern Nazarene University for football." I don't think I've heard of any of those schools. 
  • I heard Madonna's Borderline this morning. Nothing wrong with that.
  • $10,000 bets. He likes firing people. He's not concerned about the very poor.  When Mitt Romney spends all of his time saying his words were "taken out of context," he might want to spend some time thinking before speaking. 
  • On Twitter this morning: "Over 100 die in Papua New Guinea on a sunken ferry last night and there is barely a news blip. Sixteen died on the Concordia cruise ship and we can't look away."
  • I think I saw the Decatur guy who was involved in the fatality accident in Rhome running on the shoulder after the wreck yesterday. I feel sorry for him.  People pull out in front of traffic on 287 all the time.

She is a little to thin for me. I can see where others would like her LOL. Look what money can buy you..... a blue drink of course.

So... what does the fact that he's robbing his children of 1/3 of their inheritance have to do with him being an involuntary manslaughterer? In light of both, I would say he's just a typical scum bag.

Truman State U is located in Kirksville, MO. Back when it was known as Northeast Missouri State, it was good for a cheap, non-conference MBB win by the Drake Bulldogs. Hey, we had to take 'em where we could get 'em.

A sunken ferry in Australasia doesn't have the romance of a shipwreck off the coast of Italy.

A four billion dollar capital investment is a heck of a stimulus package. I hope BNSF spreads a little around at GE's locomotives division.

"People pull out in front of traffic on 287 all the time."

Let's not limit that comment to just one roadway, okay?
Scenario: Eastbound on 380 this AM @ about 6:30. Two slow-moving rock haulers in right lane. I was in left lane doing the speed limit. Despite the fact that there is a looooong acceleration lane for turning traffic, somebody pulls into my lane from 1655, and they're doing about 40. I'm going to make the claim that I was taking evasive action when I passed them - using the acceleration lane they should have been in. I did manage to find the horn in the middle of that maneuver, though.
People are stupid.

They will have to prove, once he adopted her, that they are having sex, 9:15. Nice try though.

"what does the fact that he's robbing his children... Uhhh....assuming he created the trust for the kids the creator can do whatever he wants with it.

I feel sorry for the guy from Decatur too. Having to be involved in a fatality accident caused by a stupid 58 yr. old idiot can devastate a person.

For those of you that don't get this, much of the anger in the US over the 1% is not focused on those that productively work to make their fortune, it is against the rampant "insider" culture that hands out public and investor funds like candy at Halloween. When most employees are laid off, they do not stay on paid administrative leave until his buddies can find him a new job (or cereate one).

Friends University is in Wichita, Kansas. A certain courtroom friend of yours had a daughter attend there for two years involving a dance degree in ballet. :-)

If you own a railroad that moves crude from Canada to Houston and you have a buddy that can kill a pipeline that would threaten that little business, you can afford to spend some money.

BNSF is going to haul the oil from Canada that would have come via the Keystone Pipeline.

"robbing his children"?
If his kids aren't happy with the amounts of money mentioned in the article, they would be pretty ungrateful. While it's true that the guy inherited a lot of that dough himself, it sounds as if he worked at increasing his fortune, instead of just sitting on it. Children don't have an inherent right to an inheritance.

And it may be creepy and questionable, Woody Allen-style, but it's not considered incest. Read the article. Legal experts have already determined that it would be legal for him to have an intimate relationship with his girlfriend/adopted daughter (girlfraughter?) because there is no blood line between them, direct or otherwise.

I agree that Mitt should choose his words better, but it is your liberal media and your blog that promote those misleading quotes. Isn't there something you (BG) can do to prevent the spread of the misleading quotes?

I can tell you that the young man involved in the accident will be affected by this for the rest of his life, he has taken it very hard and blaiming him self for this terrible accident. he is a good christian family man, he has two small children of his own. we can only pray that time will heal all involved.

Yeah, especially since the mainstream media in this country has tremendous hostility to ALL conservatives and are all too eager to take his words out of context, especially if it helps Obama.

If a quote is a true recitation of what one said how can it be misleading?

We could prevent a lot of misleading quotes if we could kill Limbaugh, Hannity,and O'Riely.

Since the majority of the media is controlled by liberal activitists, the majority of the misleading quotes are controlled by them as well. "Remove the splinter from your own eye before you try to remove the log from your brother's eye." For all you atheists, that is a quote from the bible.

I heard Madonna's Borderline this morning. Nothing wrong with that.

The line is not that there's anything wrong with that.

You've become what you claim to hate. You're Hal Jay and the song is 28 years old.

Romney should have said he cared about the poor because they are milking America dry with their fat lazy asses.

Sure wish the government would eliminate Welfare and Medicaid.

11:20, RIGHT ON.

I have to believe one of two things.

a. the doc is going through a trial and error phase, possibly with new techniques.

b. the doc doesn't know what he/she is doing.

Either way, I can't understand how the RT girl (ie, Jane Patient) looks in the mirror and is satisfied with her now obviously fake and unnaturally gapped chest.

Ladies, it. is. not. attractive.

It is difficult to communicate with people who are incapable of grasping a complete sentence as opposed to just a few words....the sound bites loved so well by the media.
If you can understand the thoughts expressed by Romney in those quotes, they don't seem bizarre at all.
