Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts


  • I'm not sure if we would get along if you sat down to watch the Home Run Derby last night. I take that back. I am sure. 
  • One of the two guys that were killed because of a crane accident in Dallas over the weekend was named Terry Weaver. I was going to post about how that the name reminded me of Ruby Ridge and was curious as to who in the heck would know what I was talking about. But my memory failed me again because Ruby Ridge involved a Randy Weaver. 
  • Vikings running back Adrian Peterson was "arrested for resisting arrest" (the most confusing phrase ever which I've seen time and time again in reports about this story) in Houston over the weekend. He then hired Rusty Hardin who recently defended Roger Clements in the silly perjury prosecution.  Hardin is fantastic but I hope he doesn't commit his own crime by charging an outlandish fee for that misdemeanor case. It's going no where. I can see that from here. 
  • Re the Voter ID lawsuit: How many people who don't have an ID actually vote? Heck, the most responsible people in society don't vote in shockingly high numbers.
  • I probably use way too much salt.
  • On the radio yesterday afternoon (The Ticket's Hardline) one of the hosts said that cops are scrutinized so closely these days that if they make one false statement in a police report that it will cost them their job.  It must be Fantasy Month on the radio.
  • I appreciate simpler things in life as I get older.
  • I have no interest in the Cruise/Holmes divorce.
  • A federal judge was none too pleased with Lance Armstrong's lawsuit against a doping organization since his pleading might have had some extra "stuff" in it: "Contrary to Armstrong’s apparent belief, pleadings filed in the United States District Courts are not press releases, Internet blogs, or pieces of investigative journalism." Ouch.
  • Heck, I may go vote for Ted Cruz and then go eat Chinese food in a vote of ultimately protest against Dewhurst.
  • Funny Mark Cuban parody I heard yesterday about the current horrible state of the Mavericks' roster: "Why should I care? I've got a title and a TV show." You know, that may not be far from the truth.
