- Big wreck on 287 in Rhome this morning. Car on its side. Pickup with front end damage. I saw two cops at the scene and then (count 'em . . . ) three ambulances, two firetrucks, and two cop cars heading that direction. I know
one person was two people were transported to Harris and the other to Cook's. (On the scanner I also heard "we'll need JPS at this location." It didn't sound like "JP" which means Justice of the Peace which means there's a death.) Edit: There is a death.
- And good luck getting to downtown Fort Worth in a hurry at 7:45 in the morning. Ain't gonna happen.
- During the middle of it, the scanner also called for an ambulance to got to Newark due to a medical emergency. Some 37 year old lady had called 911 due to an "infected tooth." Lady, don't call 911. Call a dentist.
- Big win for Romney in Florida last night with almost half the vote. However, if Florida is a cross-section of America, America wants nothing to do with a conservative. But of all people to send to battle the President, they choose a white rich man who is a "former liberal."
- Mrs. LL spent five minutes telling me about how she made a free throw at the gym. (Now believes she is Britney Griner.)
- Muscled Georgia cheerleader doesn't do it for me.
- Bridgeport's Danny Henson interviewed but came in second for the Denton High head coaching job. Is that the first time we've ever officially confirmed he was job hunting?
- It's the nerdiest day in college football today: National Signing Day. I still remember over 20 years ago when some Dallas Carter kid announced which school he was attending at a new conference from a hot tub.
- I'll admit that I looked up at the TV during Glee last night when a Michael Jackson performance was ongoing. But how could they not do "the lean" during Smooth Criminal? (And I realize I just complained about the choreography on Glee.)
- Belated comment: I agree with Jon Stewart on Michelle Obama's in-the-gallery-reaction to the President's failed "spilled milk" joke during the State of the Union. She had a look of, "I tried to tell you that wasn't funny."
- If you use Pfizer birth control pills, you might want to know that the company just issued a recall because a huge batch might cause "unintended pregnancy". Oh, my.
- Weather talk is boring but, man, these temperatures are bizarre.
- They finally put down the dogs that mauled the little boy in Fort Worth earlier this week. I'm not sure why it took 36 hours.

Poor dogs, it was not their fault..they should put the parents down too!!!!!
They called Henson and asked him to apply for the position.
Not so much job hunting but who can blame him for seeing what options might be out there. Isn't like that would be a lateral move or anything.

WCM already as a pic posted on the wreck this morning...
So Romney is rich. White. Male. Former Liberal. In your opinion, which of these terms is most insulting? Which most disqualifies him for the Presidency?
So manmade birth control might not work? Obamacare compels this flawed product to be provided free to whoever wants it. And Obamacare compels the Catholic Church to provide contraceptives, even though it violates Catholic teachings. Where are all those "separation of Church and State" advocates now?
The Republican party will only rarely nominate a conservative, as defined by the modern usage. The Party is conservative in the traditional usage of only measured change and restraint. It is not Conservative in the Tea Party or Libertarian mode.
BG, turn down your liberal flames abit, buddy! And try to be alittle more open to Romney. Maybe alittle more fair and balanced.
It is too warm for winter time, but if you don't like it and want some cold then head for Alaska. They are enjoying record low temperatures. Or you can go to the Anartic where the sea ice is expanding past recent yearly averages.
Since Henson arrived at Bridgeport, how many times has Bridgeport NOT made the playoffs??? he's doing something right here in Bridgeport.
Ex-player, not a parent
BG, it doesn't matter if the cheerleader does it for you.....she could make you do it.
"But of all people to send to battle the President, they choose a white rich man who is a 'former liberal.'"
Are you referring to Ronald Reagan?
As I recall, he turned out pretty well!
Incidentally, Romney's being a Mormon didn't seem to be a problem for the "Christian Right" in Florida.
It was only a matter of time before Henson was going to try and leave because his kids are gone
Romney is a Liberal calling himself Republican. Through his track record he has spent more time with big government than small.
This "mandated" birth control for Catholics is about half truth. Not-for-profit, religious organizations only have to file and prove they are who they say they are and they will not have to provide it. Plus, they have extended the mandate to 8/1/2013 to work with religious organizations, since it has become such an issue.
Also, Since birth control is the most widely used prescription drug by young and middle aged females. Wouldn't it be possible that women groups were the ones behind trying to get it pushed along and not just BHO?
Don't discount the electability of Romneybot 2012. He seems to have Peter Drucker's "creative destruction" ethos down. A competent technocrat might be what the doctor ordered because we all should realize, "It's the economy, stupid."
Geography and demography, at this point in the primary season, favor Governor Romney. Can Speaker Gingrich hang on until Super Tuesday? Does Sheldon Adelson want to go all in on the "Winning Our Future" Super PAC?
How many state showing has Henson made?Wow he came in second for the job.He should be use to coming in second he does every year.NOT A PARENT,BUT A PLAYER.
Henson came in second after they seen how big his head and his ego is.He prolly told thim he wanted complete control of the school system like he has in bridgeport.Just remember henson second is the first loser.But you are use to that.Try chico,they may need a special teams coach.
WCM states a minor died in the wreck this morning.

Don't brag to much about BHS making the playoffs frequently. In this day of mediocricy, only the really bad teams don't make the playoffs. When 3 out of 4or 5 teams in the district make playoffs, it shows that the system is stacked for the coaches to brag about the number of times they are in the playoffs and has nothing to do with the team being good.
We need updates on the water level of Lake Bridgeport and the latest status on your hot water heater.
RC - From CBS News: "The HHS announced earlier this month that all employers would be required to provide full coverage for a range of preventive health services for women, including the cost of contraception. The rule exempts houses of worship like churches or synagogues, but other nonprofits with religious affiliations -- for instance, like a Catholic university -- will have to comply." One assumes that Catholic hospitals, Catholic schools and Catholic charities employ many hundreds of thousands more employees than the Church itself.
I believe the Carter student that signed his intent letter in the hot tub was arrested that summer for armed robbery. He and about 20 other kids were robbing video stores and places in the mall over the summer before the start of his freshman year.
oh good let's get rid of all birth control so we can have more abortions makes sense huh?
Sure does make sense 11:08. If you have to live on Medicaid because you're pregnant you should have had and abortion.
It's called taking responsibility for yourself. Ever heard of it?
11:08
Is there no other way to prevent pregnancy?
Just wondering.
The overwhelming problem with Romney is that he is not nearly as good of a liar as Obama.
11:18 you're joking right?
What's going on with the t-shirt girl in today's randy girl pic?
I'd still hit it, but damn show us something!
And... in my industry we have to put up with some messed up girls... that said, I think that UGA cheerleader is hot! I'd tear her up!
I enjoy repub infighting...
WK- CBS missed one crucial point on the Catholic Universities and other places of religious intent. To qualify as a "Religious" entity all they have to do is primarily employ and serve people that have the same basic religious tenets. And they are not-for-profit.
This means as long as the company or entity hires within the majority of Americans and is a not-for-profit religious service then they are okay.
Any Christian / Catholic are covered under the "same Tenet" exemption. Some are even going as far as if you are religious (no matter the religion) they share the basic tenet in their religion.
I see you just want to keep the woman down WK :)
Not a happy day at Pfizer.
My Other Brother Darryl
RC - The HRSA regulations do not define for a religious institution what constitutes people "who share its religious tenets." What they do say is that the government has the discretion to determine exemptions.
Even Catholics who supported Obama before feel abused by this. It's a situation in which a religion must prove that it is exempt from a law which would force its practitioners to violate its own teachings. Democrats should have had a First Amendment tutorial before they imposed this monstrosity on the country.
Speaking of weather, last year when we had one week of snow the anti Al Gore comments were abundant. We just came off the hottest year on record and the second driest and we haven’t heard a peep from these naysayers in 12 months.
So, one week of cold weather proves there is no global warming but 12 months of heat and drought prove nothing?

You are supposed to be smart enough to have at least a little reading comprehension. BG didn't imply that white, rich, and liberal is insulting or disqualifying. Wall street Rich and liberal are contra to the conservative base, he was just pointing out the irony. You should know that.
uncle wally
Dear Wally, my reading comprehension must be worse than even you thought. I completely missed BG's reference to "Wall Street Rich," even after reading it again, sounding the words out and everything. I must not have the app that lets those words appear. Also, since Liberals have for years accused the Republican party of consisting solely of "rich white males" I'm not sure I get the irony you claim BG was pointing out. Maybe you can explain it again.
RC the whole "serve people of the same religious tenet" is a problem. This will create a government mandated reverse discrimination policy that would violate the seperation of Church and State clause. Here's how: those religion based organizations (eg. a Catholic based hospital) would only qualify for the exemption if they are serving Catholics but many people of many faiths or no faith utilize those hospitals but would no longer be able to do so. Therefore government endorsement of a particular religious organizations discrimination against those not affiliated with their organization. Creates a bit of a problem doesn't it? Or are there exemptions in this area also?
Really funny closed caption fail this morning. I was watching CNN on the TV at the gym. They were discussing the Pfizer recall and the closed caption said that taking the existing pills may lead to an "unintended presidency."
Exemptions:
"A religious employer is one that: (1) has the inculcation of religious values as its purpose; (2) primarily employs persons who share its religious tenets; (3) primarily serves persons who share its religious tenets; and (4) is a non-profit organization under Internal Revenue Code section 6033(a)(1) and section 6033(a)(3)(A)(i) or (iii). 45 C.F.R. §147.130(a)(1)(iv)(B)."
Since these exemptions are spelled out, then the government would be hard pressed to just "deny" an organization.
Also, as long as you follow the guidelines that "all" religious non-profits have to follow then you fall under these exemptions anyway.
they picked that guy over hensen because they felt the other guy was a better offensive coach and a better play-caller.
jus sayin...
triple fake kyle story
That big gaping hole of "share its religious tenets" is what I was talking about. The Obama administration is already handing out exemptions to Obamacare using nebulous and arbitrary guidelines -- union membership seems to be a key -- so based on that precedent, why would the administration's definition of the various terms be any less capricious?
Again, this is a law which forces a religious organization to apply for an exemption based on the government's discretion. (Not quite the intent of the First Amendment.) The Catholic Church's adoption agencies in Massachusetts already learned how that kind of thing goes. The Obama administration has also denied grants to Catholic agencies who help victims of human trafficking and who provide superior services to that of their competitors, because of the contraceptive services ("abortion") issue. Obama's track record on such "discretion" speaks for itself.
Good Lord people, what have you done to Wordkyle? I have never seen so many post!
And of course he is a man and has so much in the game.
1:15, Go to Alaska or Europe and spew your "earth is flat" bullshit and see how they take to ya.
Obama IS a union president. He will do what he can to help improve the unions of the U.S. These waivers are setup to anyone who asks for them and all they have to do is prove that their plans are not under-insuring their employees.
ObamaCare isn't an answer but neither is what is going on. With the increase of "mini-med" plans in the U.S. and employers looking to remove insure all together. Then someone needs to come up with an alternative. the republicans just bitch but do not offer an answer. All OHB is doing is being inspired by the Health Care plan of Romney when he was governor.
One of the reason why the Catholic agency was denied, which has received millions of dollars from the HHS (which has nothing to do with the new law) for the past decade or so, was because the "government" and former head of the HHS thought that having the abortion and contraceptive option would embolden the traffickers of the sex trade. The government has always been the deciding factor on whether a religious or non religious group gets government grants.
Well, where were the unions in the AMR closing of Alliance Airport division?
So now why would I want to join one as a teacher?
RC - "for anyone who asks for them" is laughable. Why would the HHS and HRSA need "discretion" if the qualifications were clear-cut? And if the qualifications were clear-cut, why wouldn't it be in the legislation instead of at the government's "discretion?"
The fact that the medical system needed improvement does not justify the draconian Obamacare monster that Democrats foisted on Americans. Since you seem unaware of other options, here's a Republican plan from a few years ago that didn't involve so much federal "discretion."
Henson's ego is just like the Jack in the box guy and thats why most people in Bridgeport can't stand him. He needs to leave and with his attitude he should end up somewhere near the border.
My comment about preventing pregnancy was supposed to be sarcastic.
Sorry for the confusion.
Remotely Controlled, Is MSNBC all you watch?

The Earth isn't flat? I knew it...I knew it....I knew it!
Double Fake Chris Columbus
Henson has always been the beneficiary of weak districts! The 4 years Bridgeport was in a completive district they missed the playoffs 2 of the 4 years! Henson wants out because the cupboard is empty for the next several years. See how fast he leaves after tomorrow's realignment announcement-if the Bulls end up in a district with Springtown, Decatur, Mineral Wells, Graham & Stephenville- He will be gone in a cloud of dust!!! Good Riddance!
Put up or shut up time for all you talking smack about local yocals
Filing begins the week!
Dear wk,
BG pointed out the irony of FL conservatives choosing the most liberal candidate.
You came away with he thought rich, white, and liberal disqualified a candidate.
I pointed out that you missed his point and you came away with where did Wall Street come from?
You are a master at sidetracking and missing the point. Classic Elviney got a mail order dress syndrome.
Uncle wally
...And Story is just racking up play off victories let me tell you....
3:58, figting to keep my pension and insurance unlike the non union management did to their own. Now I can send the kids to private school with real teachers.
If the irony is that the "most liberal" candidate won Florida, then why the inclusion of "white rich male?" Given our host's known political proclivities, I took those terms (along with "former liberal") as pejoratives, since he spoke of Republicans' choice. The words "Wall Street rich" were your invention. That emphasis must have meant something to you -- but "most liberal" is your explanation.
The real irony is your imagining that I misunderstood or misinterpreted our host's words. He knows I didn't, and he understands what I was doing with my initial comments. We "white rich men" have our own language, you see.
I am a retired teacher. So far, my retirement has been everything that was promised. I did it without a union. I don't want someone else speaking for me. Thanks very much. Unions need to work for the people, not the union organizers. They are pricing the people out of jobs with their requests. Everyone is so greedy. like others have saiad, you go into teaching knowing the salary and benefits. If you don't like it, do something else.
Wordy, We understand you understand... But you choose distortion. Romney is clearly male, white, and the richest, most liberal candidate the Republicans have left. A valid question is where are your tea party candidates? And given Mitts revolving positions, how do know what he actually believes?
You Henson commentors are idiots. He has done well with his time here and has put some teams on the field that went deep into the playoffs. His teams aren't making it into the playoffs with a 3 and 7record.
There are some things I didn't like when I played for him and still don't like as a parent. There are also things I have come to respect and think he does really well.
I cannot imagine my job used to support my family being dependent on 15 to 18 year old high school kids.
840 - Distortion? Reread my initial post and point out distortion in my questions.
wk,
Thanks, I accept your apology.
uncle wally
Can u say cancer at age 40! Wow they are brown!
If my wife gets pregnant while on the pill, I'm going to name the baby Pfizer regardless of gender.
