- RGIII's contract is for $21 million over four years -- all guaranteed. Before the owners took the players to the cleaners in the last collective bargaining agreement, the #2 pick in the 2010 draft got a contract of five-years, $68 million contract with $40 million guaranteed.
- I heard a campaign ad on radio for Steve Winn (?) who must be in a runoff for something in Texas in a couple of weeks. The only reason I mention it was because it referred to him as "an award winning optometrist." Award winning? That's a little broad. Edit: That's Steve Nguyen candidate for Texas House District 115.
- Demographic watch continued: Fox and Friends will have . . . wait for it . . . KC and the Sunshine Band perform on Friday.
- The kid who walked to DC carrying a cross had to average 36 miles a day to get there when he did. No way he walked it all. (On some parts of the trip he had to walk in the grass when there wasn't a shoulder and it was slow going based upon news clips.)
- Dueling interviews last night: George Zimmerman was on Hannity while Justice Scalia was on Piers Morgan. I chose to record Scalia.
- You "misdemeanors can legally go to the grand jury" guys are technically correct. And a defendant can legally get cake and ice cream when he is booked in. It just doesn't happen.
- Weirdest thing this morning. I always use my phone as an alarm clock and accidentally set it for one hour later than my normal wake up time. I got up, ate breakfast, turned on TV, looked at the Internet, and didn't realize I was an hour behind until 40 minutes later. And it was the sun that tipped me off. I'm losing it.
- Nominated for the Emmy in Best Drama Series this morning: "Boardwalk Empire," "Mad Men," "Breaking Bad," "Downtown Abbey," "Game of Thrones," and "Homeland". Not one of them is on network TV.
- The head of the Mormon Church is always referred to as "Prophet, Seer, and Revelator."
- Two bizarre motorcycle accidents yesterday in Wise County: One involving a goat and one involving a maybe/maybe not hit and run driver. But the quote of the day in the Update has to be this one: "State Trooper Zeb Siebeneck said the goat had the right of way." Not saying he's wrong - just saying that's a funny way to put it.

"Weiner shows off his little one"
Best headline year-to-date!
Only could have been improved if there were a Penn State story on the front page alongside it.
Man, what is your beef with the cross carrying kid? So what if he walked 5 miles every day and rode in a truck the other 31? I'm not sure what your point is. Wouldn't it save time and about 20 bullet points if you just called him a fraud and moved along? We get it BG, you don't like the kid. Nobody cares.
It's Nguyen, not Winn
This is a quote from the Star-T article about the kid that rolled the cross to Washington:
"I'm just waiting to hear where he has me go next," Garcia said. "I don't think this is my last cross walk."
I wish the pun was intentional but somehow I think it isn't.
Kid carrying a cross to DC is a fraud. Not news or worthy of mention.. forget about it... I care and been wanting to tell someone.
"Man! Those cake decorators are some real artists. That is a really good depiction of the crime scene. Too bad it can't be used as evidence in court...cuz it'll be gone in about two minutes! Cake and ice cream book-in party!"
You gotta figure that a Texas state trooper named Zeb would know a thing or two about goats...and whether they have the right of way
"If that goat could talk, I bet it would say curse words, call people doodoo head, and sing naughty songs. That's weird!"

why do you hate 'cross bearers' , barron?
Where O Where is Tom Bishop? He's sure keeping low since his election butt kicking.
Any reason you can't leave your phone programmed to go off at the same time every day? I use mine as an alarm too (although I'm always up when it goes off), and never have to change it from day to day. I just hit dismiss, and it resets for tomorrow automatically.
Any way you could give us the name of the Mormon book again? I'm going to have to read it.
Is Wise County a fencing in county? Almost all of them are. And if so, the trooper is wrong.
If he's right, I'm going to stop working on my fences so much.

Too bad RG3 didn't become successful on his own. Someone else (Obama) should get the credit.
I just read the comments regarding the fence/goat/stock extension laws in the other thread. Half of them are right, but for the wrong reason. The other half are just wrong.
Texas, as a state, is an open range state. That means you have no duty to fence your livestock in. If a person wants to keep livestock off of their land, they have to build their own fence to fence them out. This is the "fencing out" rule. It is the state wide rule, and has been for well over 100 years.
Each county can (and almost all have), hold an election to become a "fencing in" county. That means livestock owners have a duty to keep their own animals in. And that's only fair--farmers shouldn't have to have the expense of fences because there's a rancher nearby. And highways are imminently more dangerous without fences.
I bet wordkyle's left nut that Wise County has elected to become a fencing in county. Probably did it 100 years ago, in fact.
In a fencing in county, the test for whether or not you are liable is not whether or not your livestock have a "habit" of getting out. It's whether or not you have an "adequate" fence. "Adequate" is defined in the statutes for the various types of fences. Barbed wire fences have to be four feet tall, have three wires, and posts no farther apart than 30 feet. Board and rail fences have other standards.
I have not looked at the statutes in years, but I know of nothing that exempts a farm to market or ranch road from these rules.
If you are a fencing in county, a landowner has to maintain an adequate fence. If you have notice of a break in the fence, you have to fix it. If you did not know or have notice, you are not liable because livestock does crazy stuff and it's not unreasonable to not know about a gap in the fence immediately after it happens.
If you do not maintain an adequate fence, then you are liable if they get out and cause harm, even if you did not know about a specific gap. That's because your fence wasn't adequate.
Anyway, for the jacktard that wanted Law 101, there it is.

Running an hour behind, yet you found the time to crank out another entry in your award winning blog. You're a man dedicated to your craft... or something like that.
No mention of Jeremy Lin's bagging a USD25 MM contract based on a 25 game stretch for NYK? That NBA CBA doesn't seem to be a drag on salaries that
ownership hoped it would be. The rookie wage scale works in the NFL, based on two draft classes signed under its new CBA. Still, I'm not worried about Robert Griffin III's financial future. Dez Bryant, on the other hand, will be "living in a van down by the river" by the time he's 30.
Too much money in professional sports, for owners & players alike. And we, John Q. Public, are to blame because we purchase the product.

"Justice Scalia was on Piers Morgan. I chose to record Scalia"
Because you already knew who the other two are.
WISE COUNTY IS NOT "OPEN RANGE", "CLOSED RANGE" AROUND 1917, THE DOUCMENTS ARE ON FILE AT THE COUNTY CLERKS OFFICE, LIVESTOCK ARE NOT PERMITED TO FREE RANGE, AND OWNERS OF LIVESTOCK ARE REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN THEIR FENCES IN GOOD REPAIR. YOU CAN ALSO CALL THE WISE COUNTY SHERIFF OFFICE 940-627-5971)AND VERIFY THIS INFORMATION.
Why would a beautiful blonde do that to her hair???
9:49, yes exactly! I went back & watched RGIII's acceptance speech again to make sure. He basically said, "I worked hard and did it completely by myself, without anyone's help."
That is, EXCEPT for when he thanked everybody associated with Baylor, his teammates, coaches, fans, parents, siblings, fiance, Baylor admin, Ken Starr, Copperas Cove, Waco, knee surgeon, Heisman winners, Heisman trust, all the great people in his life, and God.

Of course, perhaps if he had "worked harder", he would have made an extra $40M when he signed his NFL contract like the guys did a few years ago. That is, unless someone else had something to do with the NFL labor agreement that affected the negotiations just a little.

10:44 STOP SHOUTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you do not maintain an adequate fence....
What happens if you do and the animal gets out?
I have totally lost respect for the gays. NO MORE.
some rat's been knawing on that chick's head!
Re: 10:50 DF Billy Sims;
You know good and well that's not what Obama meant. He thinks RG3 is rich because he did it on the sweat and blood of others, the downtrodden, his own sweat and blood didn't accomplish anything. Obama never worked hard at anything except that dope pipe which he hit pretty hard.
Hilarious to see the raging jealously fools come out when someone makes a large amount of money.
Boo Hoo
The hate and devide in this country caused by Democrats and Liberals is unbelievable.
The folks who are getting free stuff, don't like the folks who are
paying for the free stuff, because the folks who are paying for the
free stuff can no longer afford to pay for both the free stuff and
their own stuff.
The folks who are paying for the free stuff want the free stuff to
stop, and the folks who are getting the free stuff want even more free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting!
Now... The people who are forcing the people to pay for the free
stuff have told the people who are RECEIVING the free stuff, that the
people who are PAYING for the free stuff, are being mean, prejudiced,
and racist.
So... The people who are GETTING the free stuff have been convinced
they need to hate the people who are paying for the free stuff by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff, and giving them the free stuff in the first place.
We have let the free stuff giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting free stuff than paying for the free stuff.
Now understand this: all great democracies have committed financial suicide somewhere between 200 and 250 years after being founded. The reason? The voters figured out they could vote themselves money from the treasury by electing people who promised to give them money from the treasury in exchange for electing them.
Thomas Jefferson said it
best: “Democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those
who are willing to work and give to those who would not”.
The number of people now getting free stuff outnumbers the people
paying for the free stuff. We have one chance to change that at the
next election.... will we?

10:44 - There is a key on the left side of your keyboard that says "Caps Lock." PRESS IT. Thank you.
I thought that was odd too when the trooper mentioned the goat had the right of way. It is true the farm to market roads still belong to the farmers and their animals. However, I believe there is an animal containment law in the county and you can be fined.
I have often wondered why FM2264 has a 60 mpr speed limit...there have been many cows, dogs, goats, deer, etc. hit by vehicles too. We are not protecting them very well..not to mention human lives.
Bless you 11:36
That goat farmer didn't get that goat on his own, he didn't get that by himself, someone else got that goat for him, he's not smarter or a harder worker to get that goat, someone else got that goat for him. Does that get your goat?
"If you did not know or have notice, you are not liable because livestock does crazy stuff and it's not unreasonable to not know about a gap in the fence immediately after it happens.
If you do not maintain an adequate fence, then you are liable if they get out and cause harm, even if you did not know about a specific gap. That's because your fence wasn't adequate."
I have never seen someone contradict themself so fast. That's got to be a record.
Bacon is an idiot
12:31--that was baa-aaa-aaa-aaa-aad.
I have never seen someone contradict themself so fast. That's got to be a record.
Well, I tried to make it as simple as possible because I know there are lots of stupid people on the blog. But for you, I'll add this explanation:
That first sentence you quoted is if you have an adequate fence.
That second sentence you quoted is if you don't.
I really did spell it out in the first post, but you set records for stupidity not seen in my parts of the state so I'm not sure I can even dumb things down further for you. I guess I'll act like every potential reader is as intellectually dishonest as wordkyle, and that way I will make sure to point out every minute thing in a way that keeps him from crawfishing, which should also work to keep dumb people from misunderstanding simple concepts. Two birds with one stone, I guess.
Rage
12:22, why "Bless you 11:36"?
Because you agree? Because that was like a bad, sloppy sneeze of information that was an unhelpful distraction? Because the convoluted storytelling reminded you of someone with a mental disorder?
Look, I don't always agree with Wordy, but at least he can say it in a couple of paragraphs.
BTW, although I have no doubt that TJ said many things like that quote, and there are similar quotes attributed to him, this exact quotation has not been found in any of the writings of Thomas Jefferson.
But did the goat sound his horn(s) to indicate he had the right-of-way? Just wondering.

Greetings from Ocean Point, ME. The weather is fantastic and the lobster is cheap.
I don't know if it was this post or not but earlier today someone said Right Away instead of Right of Way... So, thanks!!! That is now permanently emblazoned into my memory bank under "hilarious." OH! It's 5 pm; I'd best git home right of way! lmao
Sounds like some of the right wing nutjobs at FBC Decatur are mad someone beat their kid to the cross carrying in DC.
I love me some goat booger.

That's as bad as those who say "would of" or "could of" etc... Many seemingly intelligent people (including you BG) say "of" instead of "have". Our language is going to hell with each generation.
