- Normally judges have pretty strict rules regarding campaigning. I'm half asleep as I write this (as always), but I just saw a commercial for Texas Supreme Court judge Don Willett which had such things as he "defended our right to display the Ten Commandments" and he is "the judicial remedy to Obamacare." That just seems wrong for a judicial ad.
- And the ad ended with a child in his lap as he read the Bible. It started with an endorsement from James Dobson.
- I had my very vivid I'm-In-School-But-Can't-Find-My-Class dream last night.
- I also dream about falling but I'm never hurt. Normally I'll bounce off things like tree limbs that launch me into another fall.
- Most people who are arrested in Wise County are locked up for very minor offenses and will be released once they make bond. That bond amount will be set by a Justice of the Peace who, in the past, would arrive at the jail between 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. in the morning. I'm getting a ton of complaints that it is becoming quite normal for the JP to now show up at 3:00 in the afternoon or later. That is unacceptable and certainly not the "efficient" and "responsive" Republican way.
- I've not heard a single negative complaint about The Avengers. In fact, I talked to two different people yesterday who said the audience applauded at the end of the movie.
- Josh Hamilton hit four home runs last night. His brain might be fried, but he can swing a bat. (But I think there were more fans at the softball game I went to last night than in Baltimore.)
- Marcia Clark was on Fox and Friends this morning to "talk about her new book." They hurtin' for guests over there?
- It's getting harder and harder to find: Blood Rush -- the book about Wise County's most notorious killer.
- I'll take a person who doesn't get worked up over anything versus a person who gets worked up over everything.
- The Ticket had a segment on The Beastie Boys yesterday and, I'll admit, other than Brass Monkey and You Gotta Fight, I really wasn't familiar with their music. And considering I thought those two songs were bad bits, I wasn't expecting much. Verdict: Their other stuff wasn't bad at all.
- This is not like one of my old single guy weeks: Softball tournament, birthday parties, Mother's Day. A man doesn't even have time to play with a backstop.
- Couple attacked by a baseball that acted like the bullet that hit Kennedy.
- The Tarrant County DA's new media relations employee has never released a press release about a "not guilty" verdict (and I know for a fact one occurred last week in a child sexual abuse case.)
- What's up with juvenile crime? We had the verdict last week in the kid that dropped all the F bombs, a bunch of kids last year pushed the kid in front of the DART train, we've got a home invasion and murder in Dallas by kids, and four teens are held in a fatal carjacking in Houston.
- The Black Hawk Down book is pretty good but I feel like a need a city map of Mogadishu in order to keep up.

Not bad BG.
Very cute.
I don't know Supreme Court judge Don Willett but he just got my vote.
what really happened was the JP's found out that every single one of the offenders they set bond for were democrats, damn imagine that..therefore 3pm..
I was in Baltimore 2 weeks ago on business and stayed at a hotel just 2 blocks from Camden Yards. Went to 2 Orioles games. Bought $10 outfield nose bleed tickets and sat 10 rows off 3rd baseline in left field both nights. There were more people at the Battle of Big Sandy than at those 2 games against Toronto combined.
"Strictly interpreting the Constitution and not legislating from the Bench" are hallmarks of every right-wing judicial campaign...except when "screw the Constitution and I'll overrule Obama" are guaranteed to get you more votes among the troglodytes.
Willett's experience before being appointed by Perry to the TSC was as a junior toady in Dubya's Office of Faith-Based Initiatives, hardly the pedigree for the highest civil judicial office in the state. The guy has never represented a regular client, never taken a deposition, never tried a lawsuit, and rarely if ever made a dime that wasn't from a gub'mint paycheck. Sadly, he's not the worst of the bunch.
Texans, behold your High Court. What an embarrassment.

I've seen Avengers twice. Both audiences applauded at the end.
Me either, as to knowing Judge Willett, but he has at least two votes from LL readers now! That is what is wrong with America and it will lead to our downfall...
Allowing the "too big for their britches" Liberals to take God out of everything! Congrats to Judge Willet for standing up for his beliefs, even when they are "unpopular" and offensive to the Democrats and Liberals! God will bless him, now or later. And I pray God shows mercy on America!
"get you more votes among the troglodytes."
You misspelled 'wordkyle.'
Rage
Can't imagine a Wise County JP being late. I'm sure it never happened in any of their previous jobs.
Re: Avengers
I don't remember sitting through a 2+ hour movie and then wishing it wasn't over yet in a long time.
Somebody please tell me what is business if going in between Taco Casa and the car wash! No signs yet and it's driving me crazy!
That's the problem, 9:40. You're voting for the guy just because he professes faith in Christ. That's all well and good but is that the sole standard by which you decide who is best suited for a secular office? By that same logic, I trust you will also vote for President Obama (who likewise professes faith in Christ), but somehow I doubt it.
And lest ye think I'm a godless liberal, I assure you I am not. Liberal maybe, but Christ is my savior, too.
9:40
In addition to offending "liberals and democrats", I'm pretty sure that Judge Willett's desire for theocratic law would have offended our founding fathers. Exhibit A: The first ammendment to our constitution.
Count me as a vote against his version of sharia law.
BG, I read Blood Rush when it came out. It is bone chilling. Couldn't sleep for days.
10:03 Bank
Why should the JP make an effort at timely arrival to court? If they were arrested they were obviously guilty. Besides, do you know how much time it takes to get your hair and make-up just right? Then there's the time it takes to admire how good you look in your Judge's robe in the mirror. Your lucky she gets to court by 3pm.
BTW, when did JP's start wearing Judges robes? About the same time Constables started playing Walker, Texas Ranger?
Liberals created Medicare. Y'all conservatives out therte really want to end your parents' Medicare?
"And lest ye think I'm a godless liberal, I assure you I am not. Liberal maybe, but Christ is my savior, too."
Christ is your savior too? You mean along with Obama! In your world I am sure they are equals.
10:03... I was told it is going to be another Rent to Own...Mom and Pop Style though. I was told there is one in Bowie??
broken homes / justice system x video games + secular media =
juvenile crime
Mmmmmmmm!
11:39 I cannot believe how clueless you are. Don't you ever want to know the truth? Try researching outside a Democrat or Liberal box and you might find it.
(shaking head)
Doesn't the JP have an office in the jail complex? Does this mean she doesn't come to the office until 3:00?
R T G WOULD BE VERY SPECIAL LAYING IN FRONT OF A MIRROR.WOW
Who is the JP considered as a "she"?
I fear BG and I may be related because I have the same nutty...can't find my class dreams. the cast of schoolmates are however scattered with people from past and present.
So guess we all know now we got a big black bad guy in our jail from Oklahoma. That was the big deal on 287 yesterday. Messenger reported it.
12:27, What does my comment have to do with a "democrat or liberal box"? Also what "truth" do you speak of? Enlighten me, because so far you haven't said squat other than you like Jesus and Obama equally!
The JP's follow the Jacksboro rules:
If I'm here, I'm here.
If I'm not here, I'm not here.
If the door is locked, I'm not here.
If the door is unlocked, I'm here, unless I'm not here.
If the door is locked and I'm supposed to be here, I'm not here because I'm sick or on vacation.
If I'm sick or on vacation, I'm not here, regardless of if the door is locked or unlocked.
If you are here and I'm not here, you will need to come back, when I'm here.
If you have questions, call me, when I'm here.
2:05
I've had the same dream for decades, except I'm usually naked on top of not being able to find my class/book/course schedule.
That really would have gone over well at school, showing up in the buff for Dr. Seward's Economic class. Talk about marginal propensities.
As a lifelong Believer, I still feel that I should hide the wife & daughter, lock away the family silver, and put my wallet in my front pocket when someone tells me I should vote for them/let them invest my money/fix my car/etc because they are Christians. Some of the biggest scoundrels have been folks who loudly professed themselves Christians. If a Christian lives their life according to Scripture, there is no need for a flyer, tv ad, or campaign bulletin advertising the fact. As meaningful as a braying ass. Lord bless the Quiet Man.
See all you sinners in church on the Sabbath.
My Other Brother Darryl
AMEN Darryl, and Obama was pretty vocal about his christianity going into the last election I might add.
10:03, building is supposed to be a "Rent a Center."
Barry, I always bounce too. Have always heard that people who dream of falling will die if they hit bottom. Well, if they bounce, I guess not. (Does that have to do with early age viewing of Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer and the Bumble bouncing after falling off the cliff?)
I hear rumor that the Sheriff is considering video arraignment because of this very issue Barry. Also, it is amazing that the JP's will wait to come in at 2:00pm or 3:00pm dureing the week, BUT let a friend of theirs get arrested and the JP's (2 & 4)will show up in t he middle of the freaking night and take the suspect...i mean their friend home...WELL BEFORE the officer has their paperwork complete..............hard to swallow.
I have the book "Blood Rush" I ordered it off line a year or so back, I looked for it for years.
