- Dez Bryant turned himself in on an assault charge yesterday. First round talent. Free agent brain.
- But we might want to tap the brakes just because you see the words "Assault - Bodily Injury - Family Violence." Yeah, it might mean he blacked the eye of a girlfriend. It also might mean he squeezed the arm of a roommate leaving no marks but causing the roommate "pain". It's a ridiculously broad definition under Texas law.
- The news footage on Fox 4 News of the city truck spraying some type of mist to kill mosquitoes in light of the West Nile virus "outbreak" always makes me think: Does that really work?
- Speaking of Fox 4, you probably had to see it last night but we learned that Heather Hays has no idea who the band No Doubt is.
- "17 people hurt in Tuscaloosa, AL bar shooting." No one killed?
- It seems only fitting that billboard-advertising-DWI-lawyer Mimi Coffey was proposed to over the weekend via a billboard. I wouldn't do it that way, but to each his own.
- I don't think I know the difference between "business class" and "first class." Now "coach" -- that I understand.
- Had a local lawyer drop by my office yesterday and give me some home grown tomatoes. "Don't take this wrong, but I'm running out of people to give all these to."
- The fear of terrorism for those in charge of the Olympics in London has to be off the charts.
- Mormon book update: I'm nearing the end of it and I finally got to the Mountain Meadows Massacre that a commentor kept mentioning. How in the world have I never heard of that before?
- And after reading the book, which examines the fundamentalist factions of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the YFZ Ranch in Eldorado, Texas and the trial of leader Warren Jeffs finally makes sense.
- The President's remarks on Saturday sure does have the far right stirred up but to say it is a turning point in the race is silly. Those remarks were great to think about and can be the subject of honest debate. But if his greatest critics want to parse them with the hope they'll hurt the President, they might want to remember the far more shocking "spread the wealth" comment to Joe The Plumber had no impact. Plus, it's only July.
- Just like you guys want the President to lose, I want David Dewhurst to lose in the Senate race.

I live in Houston and trust me the mosquito mists works. I'm not sure how good it is for my long term health, but I'll give up a decade or so to live a blood sucker free lifestyle.
I remember growing up and leaving bags of tomatos on neighbors porches in the middle of the night.
Like you, there is part of me that wants to see Cruz beat Dewhurst. Candidly, I think Dewhurst is infinitely more "senatorial" than Cruz and could actually make a good senator, but it would be entertaining to see wheels-off Cruz careening around DC spewing crazy talk. Cornyn would look moderate and dignified compared to that kook. He's like a blue-blooded Cuban Michelle Bachmann. Tea Party, behold thyself.
Counselor - it seems that you often speak of legal definitions being so "wide open" as if that is a bad thing. It's that "wide open" aspect which allows you lawyers to come in and argue. It's that "wide open" aspect which allows you to steal money from the rest of us so I am not sure why you are complaining?? It's the rest of us that suffer...... hell, it's job security for you!!! What would all you lawyers do if you had to do an honest days work?
Speaking of Fox 4, you probably had to see it last night but we learned that Heather Hays has no idea who the band No Doubt is.
Why would she care. They were never good and until today, I had forgotten they existed.
Obama talks = its just silliness
Romney talks = radical right wing
Hmmmmm, you make perfect sense.
The fear of terrorism for those in charge of the Olympics in London has to be off the charts.
Wasn't there some Illuminati card game that predicted the WTC attack and also has predicted something bad with Big Ben???
I have no idea who Heather Hays is.

Dez Bryant - Black Trash.
Mormons - Religious trash.
Bar shooter - white trash
Today's RTG - doable trash
Joe the Plumber's "Spread the Wealth" comments to Obama had no impact because the Obama-loving media chose not to make a story out of it.
And that was a shame too, because the media would have generated more ratings and sold more newspapers if they wanted to have an honest philosophical debate.
(as I recall, the media outlets chose to make this a story not so much about Joe the Plumber's remarks, but instead about negative aspects of his personal life, therefore they decided to hurt his credibility. Of course, if it's Bill Clinton then personal character doesn't matter in the media's eyes)
EVERYTHING Joe the Plumber warned us about turned out to be right on point.
This is four years later, and more people than not know who Obama is and what he is really all about. Obama is not a knight in shining armor to a lot of people anymore!
Plus.....a lot of business owners are now going to have to spend time they don't have trying to comply with all the Obamacare regulations.

Re: Obama's Comments
Because I made decisions in my life like: Do not use credit cards, don't hang around with people who party and do drugs, live within my means, serve my country during the Vietnam War so when I get out I can have the VA help me with college expenses, live in the smallest of the six houses I currently own, drive a ten year old vehicle, etc; then I should pay more taxes to support the sexual partners' of baby daddies and their children? Is that what you want me to do?
Because I came from a home with no indoor plumbing or air conditioning and was able to work hard, save and invest; then I owe money to the sexual partners' of baby daddies!
More of what Alexander Tyler wrote:
“The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:
•From bondage to spiritual faith;
•From spiritual faith to great courage;
•From courage to liberty;
•From liberty to abundance;
•From abundance to complacency;
•From complacency to apathy;
•From apathy to dependence;
•From dependence back into bondage

Not good BG. That face is going to haunt me.... I would not get close to that even if she had a BACON necklace.
There is a movie named September Dawn that is about the Meadow Mountain Massacre. You should check it out.
Misting kills zero larvae. Dewhurst dresses and coifs like a TV Preacher. If you don't like Cruz you must be a racist.
Aint you a former judge or some such, brother Barry? Mimi Coffey and her fiance could get married by the honorable Barry Green I'm guessing. I don't know.
Dez can get on deez.

Here are some short-takes to some-up some things being discussed latey, from simplecommentary:

I've got more tomatoes than I can eat. I'm trying to give them away and people are trying to give me theirs.
I'd imagine before our lifetime is through, growing and giving away tomatoes will be unheard of.
It's too American to stick around much longer.
I really hate to admit it but Romney is ten times better than our guy.
Signed, liberal.
@11:07,
We are tired of racist actions. Just because Obama is African-American doesn't mean you have to vote for the other guy.
Obama 2012
Ok,we tried a black guy with a Middle Eastern raghead name whom it can't be proven he's American or not and won't provide a valid birth certificate that hasn't been altered so let's move on and get back to people with regular names we all know and attempt to trust.
I went to High School with Mimi Coffey. When she ran for Class President her slogan was "ME ME for YOU YOU!" She used that slogan from Junior High thru High School...And I think she won?! She loved Big Advertising even then...
Dez hit his momma. Just wrong. No matter what.
I don't know...if dez's mom was was mine...id hit her for giving me that name.
Yup - no girlfriend or roommate - it was his mother. That's just all kinds of wrong.
Tell that attorney to give all those extra tomatoes to the food bank. I'm sure they would love to have some fresh veggies.
11:12 How old are you?
Bryant's mom is a crackhead. Been in and out of the pen. I am sure we have not heard both sides of the story. Wouldn't be surprised is she didn't pawn some of that jewely he still owes for. 600K if i remember correctly.
12:24,
Old enough to know that people don't like Barak because he's African-American. We finally break much needed barriers in this country and people lose their minds and bring out the racism by intentionally voting for a white guy simply because the opponent is black.
Obama 2012
I'm twelve but on a good night 14 or so.
11:12
I am tired of racism too. Who is the racist when I don't like someone because they are a dumbass and you blame my dislike on their race.
Seems like you are the one to be the racist, you keep bringing it up.
I wish I could read everyone's mind like you can. You obviously know what is in people's hearts.
@12:56 typical conservative.
Nothing is ever your fault. You people are so engrained with racism you don't even realize it. You have no respect for the office or the man. He gives you hope and you don't even care.
Obama 2012
1256 - You're fighting a pointless battle. "Racism" is what Liberals trot out whenever the facts are inconvenient. You can list a hundred of Obama's policies that you disagree with and the response will always end up as "It's because he's black." Always. It replaces thinking.
In reading McCain's fact list on Romney from 2008, it appears the only difference between Romney and Obama is that Romney is white and supports gun control:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/78582788/McCain-2008-Oppo-File
I dislike Obama's white half more than his black half. Does that make me racist?
Talk about racist how many black people voted for Obama? How many will vote for him this time? The black population cannot elect a president. Where in all your wisdom did the rest of the votes come from that elected him?
If they are that much alike then that gun control stance might become a necessary evil one day
DF Maximilien Robespierre
Most everyone is proud of their race but are not racist like members of white, black, and other racial supremacy groups that use pseudoscience to support their beliefs. Everyone has prejudices and ignorances. But calling someone racists without proof, witness, or evidence is just simply stupid.
The mosquito sprays work on contact, but still aren't safe. This year's chemical will be banned as unsafe just like all the others. When I was a kid, I was never told to stay inside when they were spraying.
Pertaining to mosquito spray, I think the cities have got it wrong. They think the needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many. Around 80% of us have probably already been exposed to the the west nile virus, but still have to risk exposure to the spray.
Randy Girl has some nice melons...
Please post pics of Hannah Hilton... now those are some nice...
On one hand you have a candidate that has consistently supported abortion, supported gay rights, signed a permanent ban on “assault weapons,” quadrupled fees on gun licensing, supported a tax on political contributions, increased government spending at a rate of 24%, raised state fees and taxes, increased state and local tax burdens, opposed the Bush tax cuts, increased business taxes, enacted universal healthcare with a penalty for non-participation, expanded access to abortion services, and has routinely supported Democrats.
On the other hand, you have Obama, who, in contrast with Romney, has signed income tax cuts, payroll tax cuts, not increased fees on gun owners, and not enacted bans on weapons.
So, basically, you have two people with very similar views except that Obama is black and doesn’t support taking away our gun rights.
They should switch party affiliations.
WK,
You can not disagree that people will vote for Romney because of Barak being African-American.
You also can not disagree that if the racists bear their ugly faces and Romney wins, everything Barak has worked hard for will be ruined.
We can not let that happen!
It starts with Wise county. If you would just realize all Barak wants to give us is hope you would look passed the color barrier and vote for him.
Obama 2012
Obama is half black and half white with darker skin. Dark skin doesnt equal African American, he is mixed!
1:13 How and the hell does Obama give us hope, maybe in '08 he gave us hope, but after four years of failed policy that ship has sailed. Maybe he can deliver on the change part.
Racism is an individual thing buddy, you cannot apply at your own will to all those who disagree with the president's policies. Sure there are some turds out there that hate because of the skin color alone, I flush these stinkers like a big hairy dump because they do not affect my life. Failed policy and the albatross of Obamacare does affect my life.
You are clueless, 2:49.
Who cares if that community organizer is black. Who the F cares you idiot? Grow up. You people are pathetic. You have NOTHING substantial to say so you try an pull that racist crap.
GROW UP.
2:49
How dare you presume to know my heart? I am so tired of this liberal mentality that everyone is too stupid to survive without the guidence of the liberal left. We got along for many years in spite of your "help". It has just about broken us. You are the lowest form of life, you think you are smarter than everyone else. I have news for you, you are going to be very sorry when you get what you want and we all end up as slaves to the government. Just because you can't think for yourself, don't assume the rest of us can't either.
only good thing about rt girl is her boobs and those are fake.
The "Obama 2012" guy has the boat at a low idle, lines out.
@3:31 yeah, but its fun as heck! I can't quit laughing.
"The mosquito sprays work on contact, but still aren't safe."
What?
Does the mosquito distinguish between the different types of work before it decides to spray the work?
If there is no contact, does the mosquito still spray the work?
Anybody else notice that with the appearance of O-2012 guy here, Rage has not been seen? Writes in the same condescending style as well.
Hmmm.
I guess we'll wait for the homo-worship remarks and then we'll know for sure
Are you laughing at Obama 2012's stupidity or everyone else's passionate responses?
It would be funny if it weren't so true that the left is going to send this great nation into the gutter if they get their way.
4:13, I wish there was a good editing program out there, but for now, you'll do. I also wish spell- check would correct me when I write "some" and mean "sum."
I'm not racist, I just don't like the arrogant bastard. I don't like what he has done and what he hasn't done during his term. Wouldn't matter to me if he was purple. He is just an idiot without a clue.
9:42 well put, if i was bringing you veggies and you said that I would tell you to go F off.
The Obama 2012 guy has been driving behind the Mesquito sprayer with his windows rolled all the way down.
Sheep
You seem to be calling the kettle black. You are bragging about electing a black guy instead of a worthy candidate, while criticizing the opposition for supposedly electing a white guy based on race.
If the gubment is responsible for persons being successful, why isn't everyone a success?
