- Just breaking: Fort Worth cops made a massive drug bust of "many TCU students" last night after a long undercover investigation had concluded. TCU is just releasing details. More media followup later.
- There's some civil trial going on up at the Wise County courthouse. The best I can tell it has to deal with some lady who lost some range of motion and strength in two of her fingers, but I'm not sure who she is blaming. As always, there's more lawyers involved in a case over money than one over freedom.
- We had a candlelight dinner last night at the house. I kept waiting for the Family Cat to cause a Carrie-like disaster.
- I go to bed early and wake up exhausted. Dreams. Ugh.
- Conservatives are blaming the President for high gas prices this summer? I thought it was speculators when this happened under George W (when the price was around $4.12 a gallon, by the way.)
- I don't understand the attraction of hydrocodone or Xanax as as an abusive drug of choice.
- I kept getting lots of tips yesterday about the Decatur eighth grader/prescription medication drug bust, but it's kind of hard to write anything about it when a juvenile is involved.
- The Parker County torture case going on right now is bizarre. I was trying to think of a movie about hiding someone in a house for the purposes of torture because Misery doesn't do this justice.
- This is very inside to those who really know me: Is the latest Messenger a coincidence or a not-so-subtle shot.
- Random high school girl's playoff game on Monday: Plano West 73, Saginaw 12.
- Sad to see the passing of Cindy Clifton, mother of Kyle Clifton, of Bridgeport.
- I can't imagine going to a restaurant because it is an All-You-Can-Eat establishment.
- Whatever happened to that Debt Ceiling Super Committee/Deadline=Automatic Cuts thing?
- I don't Texas will have a primary until May. If I was running for election, that would drive me insane to have an uncertain date.
- I don't care about the NBA but I like good stories. And this Jeremy Lin story is pretty incredible.

You lefties are UNBELIEVABLE. Do you chose to block out the truth or are you just plain dumb?
There was also a drug incident at Bridgeport High School yesterday. An ambulance took one or more students to the hospital after they took drugs purchased from a fellow student. He was arrested and taken to jail!
You've blown that Messenger ordeal so far out of proportion that you now look like a drama queen.
A drug bust at TCU....?
the obligatory...Isn't that a christian school
followed by the obligatory ..... christians are sinners too
now on with the comments about a not surprising college situation
Heard a black NBA player comment that Linsanity wouldn't be anything except he is Asian....
he's partially right... that's a part of the sensation of it all... but the dude wasn't even seeing the floor 2 weeks ago
I see you got your way with the commissioner's statement after all the whining. And, of course, He ain't saying nothing else but what his attorney tells him. Well, Green, more to come. See you in court.

She is very cute. GJ BG.
Whats with the Boyd secretary to the super. seeking former football players in the Update?
Don't you imagine Boyd is planning some kind of "event" to mark Cartwright's departure?

I'm guessing the percentage of "dumb amongst the left" is about the same as "dumb amongst the right."
Both are embarassed by their sub-pops.
In a 2008 Republican presidential debate (mentioned in Liberally Lean,) the moderator brought up increasing gas prices as a reason to change the party affiliation of the White House occupant. Think anyone in the media would suggest such a thing these days? Obama can not run on his record. The numbers reveal what a failure he has been. Of course, to his supporters none of anything is his fault. He's been as clean and articulate as he can.
thoughts and prayer to Cindy Cliftons'family.
Of COURSE they blame the President.
Blaming the President - regardless of who it is or what party he comes from - is a full-time job for a certain % of the people.
Ironically, many of these obsessed with blaming the President for broken shoelaces and rainy days are the same people who claim to be concerned with "personal irresponsibility"...
The only way any President (Bush, Obama, Reagan, etc.) could correct all of the things that their opposition expects them to correct is to chuck the Constitution and seize complete control of every aspect of the country.
As a great man once said, "Haters gonna hate."
Sad to hear of Cindy Clifton passing. She was my Den Mother in Cub Scouts. Deepest condolences to her family.
Did you hear about the new restaurant on the moon? Great food--but no atmosphere.
Jeremy Lin = Robert "Bubbles" Hawkins.
The Simpson Bowles Commission only had 11 of its members vote in favor of its recommendations. Had 14 of its 18 members voted in favor, then Congress would have had to accept or reject all of the recommendations much like the military base closing commission of the late 1980s. Interestingly, five Democrats, five Republicans and one Independent voted "aye."
As long as the Fed offers cheap money, derivatives traders will try to leverage whatever they can to make a profit: gasoline, oil, cocoa beans. It's the Chicago School in action.

Honey - I know that is you on here. Get back to work!!! (it is a funny joke)
Katy, Katy, Katy.
Hypocrite much?
Love the fact that, when Bush was in office, Democrats and the media were so busy blaming him for the high gas prices. Now that the "Chosen One" is in office, the same Democrats and media are pushing blame off on everything else but him.
What has changed? Only the fact that the current President has a D after his name and not an R!
The basic equation in the U.S. is scary and quite simple. As we move forward in time, there will be tens of millions of more people that, for many reasons, expect to be supported; and there will be tens of millions fewer people in a position to provide support. There is NOTHING we can do about it at this point; except to accept that the standard of living in the U.S. will go way down.
10:33 I know! But, due to the mentality of a leftist twit what can we expect?
The Parker County case is bizarre, but it's about way more than just torture.
You've got: sexual torture, kidnapping, and arson. Add to that his ex-wife's disappearance and the assault he was probably guilty of before she went missing.
You could probably find lots of B-grade films with most or all of these elements, but the scary part is that there's a guy who actually embodies all of that, and he was walking around among us
Skippy, It was speculators that was driving up the price of gasoline under Bush and the same thing is happening now, but the weenie response was that it was Bush's fault. Now that gas has risen 83% since Obammy has become President, the silence from the weenies is deafening.
Come on Santorum, lead us out of this black pit that our nation is in!
Why are we not hearing about the Bridgeport kid that got arrested?
LOL Love it! Obama's relection campaign is better known as
CAMPAIGN FOR THE STUPID

Because no one has faxed the story to the Mess as of yet.
WOW now we the people think we the people should tell the Messenger how to run their business.
2:45
You got it....buddy
THE LETTER AFTER THE NAME ONLY LETS US KNOW WHICH PARTY THE COMPLAINTS COME FROM,THEY ARE THE SAME PARTIES AND HAVE FOR 20YRS.HAD THE SAME FIX,REELECTION HAS BEEN THEIR ANSWER FOR YEARS.
I HAVE BEEN HAVING SOMEONE ELSES DREAMS LATELY,MY DREAMS WOULD NOT BE IN CHINESE AND HEBREW OR ANYOTHER LANGUAGE I DIDNT UNDERSTAND.
Yes speculators are behind much of the rise in the price of oil.The rules and laws goverening who could engage in such speculation and to what degree changed early 2000's. Who was President and controlled Congress? In Jan. 2006 the agency in charge of regulation of futures opened acess to speculation to a wider degree than ever. The result $50-60 per barrel oil jumped to $120 and $4.00 per gallon gas became a reality within 2 years. Who was President and controlled Congress? The U.S. is producing more oil domesticly than ever, has more oil in reserve than ever and demand is down so why is price begining to rise again? See above and who is leading this speculation rush, not oil companies or heavy users such as airlines but large financial institutes. Goldman-Sachs, Morgan-Stanley,Citicorp and J.P.Morgan and A.I.G. are 4 primary speculators.If these names sound familiar they should as they bear a significant part of the blame for the financial crisis of 2008 that produced much of our currant economic woes.
