- I had some significant cosmetic dental work done yesterday which was brought about because of one half part vanity and one half part necessity. Twenty-five years ago I had the same thing basically done. Now it is ten times more technologically advanced but only four times as expensive. Although almost four intense hours in a dental chair ain't fun.
- How it all started?: Tetracycline.
- Shout out to my local dentist: I've not turned on you.
- The greatest hillbillies-seeing-a-shark video you will see all day. (Or ever.)
- I can't say I've listened to Jay-Z's 99 Problems more than ten times but each time my mind started racing about the search and seizure issues in the lyrics. I felt like a law nerd. I feel vindicated (academically at least) because a law professor has written a scholarly law review article analyzing the song line by line.
- I only saw a little bit of it but Robert Blake being interviewed by Piers Morgan last night was golden because of the tenseness. Who would have seen that coming?
- Haven't had a Big Mac in over a decade. I love Big Macs. (Referenced only because of a story yesterday that the recipe behind the "secret sauce" had been revealed.)
- A Wise County jury convicted and sentenced a man to 30 years in prison for five grams of meth yesterday. That's only five years above the minimum - a minimum that was so high because he had two prior trips to the pen. They didn't find him guilty right away (deliberated well over two hours on guilt/not guilt) despite the stuff being found in his pocket. The vibe in the courthouse was that they were a little hesitant of finding him guilty knowing that it meant at least a 25 year sentence for a small amount of dope. The jury even sent out a note wanting to know what his prior convictions were for.
- More: There was no evidence during the first portion of the trial that he had previously been convicted of felonies. So how did the jury know? Crazy Texas law allows the prosecution during the jury selection process to ask the potential jurors: "Hypothetically, if a person has twice been sent to the penitentiary for felony convictions and is subsequently found guilty of the offense the defendant is charged with, the minimum sentence is 25 years in prison. Now, knowing that, is there anyone on the panel . . . ."
- I watch a little bit of the ESPYs last night. You know, that show has a good concept but the writing is horrible.
- A child was accidentally shot by her father a couple of months ago in far North Fort Worth and now he has been charged with Manslaughter. That charge requires the State to prove he "recklessly" (not intentionally) caused the death of the child. I promise you, 90% of the prosecutors have no idea what an almost insurmountable burden it is to prove "recklessly" under Texas law. "Mere lack of foresight, stupidity, irresponsibility, thoughtlessness, ordinary carelessness, however serious the consequences may happen to be do not suffice to constitute . . . criminal recklessness."
- Mitt Romney didn't go speak to the NAACP yesterday he went so he could be seen speaking to the NAACP.
- The cops have released the 911 calls in the Highland Park presumed suicide (that we originally thought was a murder.) This is one of the weirdest cases I've ever seen. He stabbed himself to death after trying to attack his wife?
- A very insightful line from Bob Sturm of The Ticket regarding the current state of the NBA: When a fan is told he has to read the collective bargaining agreement to understand why his team is losing players then you have a league that has gone horribly wrong.
- There were six females that slept in my house last night. Are slumber parties that common? I feel like I'm running a hostel.

25-year minimum: the HIGH-BITCH.
Romney went to speak knowing his ideas wouldn't be well received and the response would be "gold" to the bigots in Romney's base.
The audience should have known this and just remained silent...not giving the bigots red meat.
While I will not be voting for him, I understand why Mittens spoke to the NAACP. Democrats have abused the black voting block for the better part of a half century. Democrats have promised that their education will improve, that crime will go down, that jobs will get better (14.4% unemployment in the African American male demographic), are only a few of the promises made that have yet to come to fruition.
The problem with this whole situation, is the democrats know they can continue to make the same promises and will always get 90% of the vote. No republican brings up these facts, I guess because most are spineless and naive enough to think that if they play nice with the dems that they will reciprocate. However, some blame has to fall to the black community as well. They fall for the same shit every 4 years, and still pull the lever for the left 9 times out of 10. Again, the left knows this, and they also know that all it has to do is come back every 4 years, with the same reminders and promises that the republicans are racist and hate black people, and they will get sent back to Washington for the rest of their lives. In this regard, the dems are much smarter than republicans. They know how to play the political game to their advantage, much, much better than the right. Does it make it right? Not in the least. But I can guarantee you that until democrats feel like they actually am have to earn the black community's vote, they will keep coming back to that well until it is bone dry. And as I said before, the only way that happens will be when the black community demands results, and not just platitudes and claims of whitey keeping them down every 4 years.
The Jay-Z thing made me laugh. i do the same thing when I hear Kanye's "Gold Digger".
The one where he whines about cruelly having to pay for a kid for 18 years that he then finds out isn't his - in such a huge amount that a Super Bowl winner would be forced to drive a Hyundai!
I always feel compelled to run through the ways in my head that the man in question would have to be stupid in order for that to happen.

Romney also went so he could give conservative dog whistles about blacks wanting "free stuff."
You forgot to mention the part in the Wise County trial about the guy having a loaded semi-automatic .25 next to his foot when the deal went down. Been to the pen three times, assaulted family members in repeat offenses until he got sent to prison for that, led police officers in two different counties on high-speed chases, and will not seem to understand that as a convicted felon he cannot have a firearm ... Since he went to prison twice for that. You just ain't to good at telling the whole story, Green.
i still love you , Barry

She is ok but just not my type.
Aren't we leaving out the part where Romney would be accused of racism if he turned down their invitation to speak at the convention?
I also love how no one is mentioning the obvious racism of the group itself. NAACP, not exactly in it for all Americans since Feb 12, 1909.
Did Mitt explain to the crowd that he has a black friend?
Cause that might have worked, too.
Obama wiuld never agree to speak in a place where he knows he's not liked,he's chicken sh*% that way, kudos for Romney for having the balls to go into the jungle & at least make an appereance in front of the natives.
I wonder if she'd let me eat her apple.
I feel like I'm running a hostel.
Six women? You misspelled 'hostile.'
Rage
8:43 way to throw out the racism about Romney speaking at the NAACP convention. Never mind the racism involved in that group, along with the fact that recent polls have shown Obama having 96% support from African-Americans. How is that not racist? I truly believe that if Obama was white (instead of half-white), he would not have such an amount of support from them.
I agree with Spanish War Donkey. For some reason, this demographic always falls for the lies from the Dems every four years when they tell them how everything will be so good if they only elect them to office.
the recipe behind the "secret sauce" had been revealed.
You like-a da sauce, eh? Sauce is good, eh?
secret sauce - Jack-in-the-Box
special sauce - McDonalds
I think.
the comment about Romney at the NAACP meeting:
How is that different than the appearance Obama made at the same venue? They're both politicians, they want to get (re)elected, and they use the same methods (although they start from opposite ends).
If neither had spoken there, it would be a big deal. The difference is that people would fall all over themselves justifying why the president wasn't there, while Romney would get the "There's the proof he doesn't care about us" treatment.
The burro @ 8:56 is spot-on. The Democrats take for granted that minorities will vote for them over and over. Minorities assume that the Dems will actually do what they promise
"Mitt Romney didn't go speak to the NAACP yesterday he went so he could be seen speaking to the NAACP."
Mitt is a very brave man for speaking in front of all those racist. You have to know the majority of them have criminal backgrounds.
There is no way Gangsta Obama would have gotten up in front of the KKK to give such speech.
Kudo's to Mitt
Ok, so last night in the ER in Decatur there were DPD & WCSO and I heard mention of tasers being used but the blog nor update mention anything. So what gives?
My son was given tetracycline between the age of 3-5 in the years before they knew it would stain his teeth forever. It was antibiotic treatment for inflammed throat & ears. He has them done by the dentist too. they look nice. It is a real shame since he has excellant teeth otherwise. By the time my other children came along the doctors knew better than give it to children younger than 9 yrs old. I feel for you Barry.
So you got some gold on the grille to keep it real when you cruise in Mrs. LL's baby Bentley?
Slumber parties will ALWAYS be THE thing to do for young girls. You can worry when they stop and they find other things to do overnight away from their home...now that's when you will wish for the slumber parties to return...so enjoy while you can.
If Obama was white he would never have won the 2008 primary over Hillary. Voting for someone because of their skin color is racism.
Do the crime....do the time. End of story.
Barry--"Mitt Romney didn't go speak to the NAACP yesterday he went so he could be seen speaking to the NAACP."
8:43--"Romney went to speak knowing his ideas wouldn't be well received and the response would be "gold" to the bigots in Romney's base.
The audience should have known this and just remained silent...not giving the bigots red meat."
I honestly can't decide which comment is more stupid.
ALSO, I know he's on a book tour, but why in the world would anyone have Robert Blake on? He hasn't done anything (other than kill his wife) since Baretta about 30 years ago! I guess Huggy Bear will be next!

To take your real teeth to your grave do the following every night before bed: (1) brush (2) floss
(3) Dip a DenTek mini dental brush in 3% peroxide and clean between teeth with it (4) Dip your electric tooth brush in 3% peroxide and brush once more. Then rinse you mouth with water. With this type of diy dental care you might have to go to a dentist every three years for a cleaning and some praise for how well you take care of your teeth.
Hey,that chick called and wants me to come over and eat her Apple or somethin.
There are no jobs for blacks because Bain destroyed them in Kansas City, etc. and sent them overseas. The Muslims took over the cab driving in DC and NY also. We need Mr. T , not Obama or Mitt. Mr. T will kick ass and throw the bums out. He will return cab driving to the black man. Mr. T 2012!
Sounded like a Kanye song. When I heard it a few minutes ago, Katy. Jay Z is smarter than that. Kanye, not so much.
Rap is the black man's country music. Fun stuff.

Tetracyline? What's that?

Did ya get new dentures?
Mr. Romney should have stooped down to the level of the crowd just like the Dems do when they go there. A little rap music and his pants pulled down would have done the trick.
We all know anyone who is not on the left, successful and respectful would naturally be unwelcome to a bunch of free 1oaders.
9:46 That's the difference between class and trash.
Hey Rod,Tetracycline is commonly used to treat Gonnerarhea.So what did you need it for?
Is the blonde randy girl demonstrating the "chipmunk"? I got something she can practice with.
Do the googles if you don't know what I mean by the "chipmunk."
5 grams of meth?? I really don't want to house and feed him for the next 30 years. The jury and judge probably had to go home and have a few "precription" painkillers after that trial.
Counselor, you really should start listening to Rush Limbaugh. The sooner you realize you've been wrong your entire adult life, the sooner you can start getting over it. November headline: "Potted Plant defeats Annointed One in landslide".
Romney spoke to NAACP.
Obama to busy raising cash,
sends Biden.
Before all of you feel sorry for the guy being convicted over the small amount of dope, here is the rest of the story: "Jones already had two prior felony convictions, one for aggravated assault and another for felony possession of a firearm. Due to the three strikes law, his potential sentence ranged from 25 years to life for felony drug possession." Now, do you feel sorry for him?????????
I hear dhs has a new basketball coach. Apparently, the board gave the guy some serious cash and has only been out of college 3 or 4 years. Your tax dollars in action!
@12:39
Hey, dumbass. The district has a pay scale and a set coaching stipend.
No one gets paid more because someone likes them or because they have NBA coaching experience.
If Rick Carlisle decided to take a job as an assistant varsity bball coach in Decatur Texas, he would get paid the normal coaching stipend plus whatever disd is paying first year teachers. (That is if he also taught)
It's a little known fact that you don't have to teach to coach, you must be employed by the district in some way.
Decatur had a head softball coach a few years ago who was a teachers aid/ janitor.
But regardless of who decatur hired as a coach, they probably won't play your kid either.....because he sucks.
12:19, I feel sorry for taxpayers like myself who have to house and feed this yahoo.
Call 393-7100 and ask how much the new coach from Hico's salary is. I friggin dare you. Then get your ass back on this blog and tell me you are sorry for being so ignorant.
Its the girls athletic program that is constantly getting screwed.
America: Most free country on earth and with the highest percentage (and total) of population behind bars. That's what you get in a country run by lawyers. They stay in business by creating more laws for us to break.
Stop electing lawyers to congress, or any other public office. They are the reason we have such a complicated legal system.
Hey, dumbass. The district has a pay scale and a set coaching stipend. - 1:25
Yeah, it's not like he's a History or Math teacher. Jeezus, pull yer head out, people. We're talking about a Coach not some useless teacher!
Blacks are unemployed because when Hillery Clinton was on the board at Walmart she pushed for purchasing goods from China for cheap. She was so smart and profits went up.
Blacks are unemployed because they didn't apply themselves while in school and as a result they will repeat bad behaviour over and over.
2:00- I don't know what else to tell you. School districts don't allow for paying a particular coach more than an equal coach for another sport. All head coaches will make the same stipend and floor assnt coaches will make the same stipend.
Obviously, a head football coach who is also the athletic director will make more money than a head bball coach because the title calls for a higher salary. The school board sets that scale.
No one would pay a particular coach to come to their school and be the head girls bball coach more than the boys head bball coach simply because he's a hot-shot new coach who played at ANY and is also a board members nephew.
If Hico just hired a new ad/football coach and the board agreed to raise the salary of that job by $10,000 then so what? That happens all the time.
@ 2:34 -
there's also another (almost) fool-proof method for reducing the number of folks incarcerated in this country. Don't commit a crime! That's the reason people go to prison.
The legal system is not that complicated if everything you do is legal
It's a shame we have to give that guy three hots and a cot (I wish it was that simple) for such a long period of time, but he knew the consequences before that third strike. Speaking of the complicated legal system, most career criminals know it fairly well, and use that knowledge to their advantage.
Given the choice, I would prefer that he not have the freedom to roam around our county doing what he did. If somebody like that is too stupid to stay out of trouble, or doesn't care, he needs to be put some place where he can't be a threat to the rest of us
3:48
What about when they decide that salt is illeagle, or caffiene, or anything else that is not good for you but is legal now. When we get hundreds and thousands of new laws every year, how can this possible be considered a free society. Our government is made up of about 600 people who are trying their best to get all of our money to spend the way they choose and keep as many of us under their control as they can. It is still against the law to spit on the ground in some places. Idiocracy.

12:19 PM I agree totally!!!!
All you liberal ass weenie yahoos who feel sorry for this guy and don't want to pay taxes to house and feed him let me ask you this...WOULD you rather house him off the streets and keep his sorry ass behind bars? OR pay for the funeral for the death of your child that he sold drugs to or ran over while he was wasted? Not to mention a life time of pain caused by his poor choices and a system that put him back on the street!! Really? This even has to be an issue?
What every dipshit liberal weenie didn't hear from their lamestream media is that Romney got a standing ovation after they listened to his reasoning for running for President and didn't spoon feed them horseshit and make promises he knew he wouldn't keep like the democrats do. Obammy didn't go speak to them because you had to show ID to get in. Also he didn't want to have to explain why black unemployment keeps rising and the reparations aren't coming their way. So he sends the clueless Biden. Bravo Mr. Romney. It's good to know that you are going to lead us out the ditch for the next 8 years.
Attn: Texas Liberals, you might want to move to another state to live and vote. Texas didn’t carry Obama the first term and I’m reasonably sure he won’t carry the Texas vote the next time. Here is some food for thought. In case you didn’t know, Obama still despises Gov. Rick Perry. The two narcissists can’t stand each other. I don’t see how re-electing Obama will have any positive results for Texans that didn’t help to re-elect him either.
125..sounds like you have an iron in the fire. crooked as a dogs hind leg. shame on you!
Some of you are very naive to think a school district (ie superintendent) can't pay someone whatever they want to for ANYTHING. If they want to pay this kid an inflated salary, then that's probably what they're doing. And yes, that information is public - just call or go to the district office and file for it.
1:25/3:19 you are dead wrong, and anyone who tells you there's a set pay scale and no one deviates from it is lying to you. How do I know? Oh, well, I've probably been in education longer than you've been alive.
I dare you to call, too. Just do it!
"Hey, dumbass. The district has a pay scale and a set coaching stipend."
1:25 - you are definitely naive!!!
roflmao!! You REALLY believe what you just posted up there? pffft!!
Welcome to Decatur! You will NEVER truly know what anyone's real salary is!
@10:31: There hasn't been a Democrat win for statewide office in Texas since the mid-90's.
Why would that make liberals leave the state?
I'm pretty liberal on most issues, and I love living in Texas!
Are you saying Texas can't accept diversity of opinions or are you saying that our elected government officials define us so deeply that we can't stay in a state where the bureaucrats have a different letter after their name?
