- While you were sleeping: Our ambassador to Libya was killed by "folks" who were upset by a (horribly made) movie made in America which is disrespectful to Mohammed. And a picture of his dead body being paraded through the streets has now surfaced.
- Mitt Romney has already made the murder political by criticizing the White House's response.
- I've spent the year highlighting how cops have ramped up their "self defense killings" in the metroplex this year and specifically pointed out one a couple of weeks ago after a car chase by a Garland officer. Oh, you guys took me to task because the suspect had tried to use his vehicle as a weapon against the officer. Well, it turns out that's not true. It was the officer who rammed the fleeing vehicle and then, shockingly, shot at the suspect at least 41 times killing the unarmed man. Hello, murder charge.
- And there are dashcam videos of the incident which have not been released. Oh, my.
- Yesterday the Dow Jones Industrial Average reached its highest point since 2007. Once again, more good economic news.
- If you've never seen 102 Minutes That Changed America on the History Channel, you must do so. "The film depicts, in virtually real time, the New York-based events of the 9/11 attacks primarily using raw footage from mostly amateur citizen journalists." There is no voice over commentary which gives it an eery, eery feel.
- Something I learned on the 9/11 "Timeline Page" on Wikipedia: At 10:49 a.m., CNN began a news ticker at the bottom of the screen with supplementary information. Fox followed shortly thereafter and then MSNBC. Those tickers are still with us today.
- Mrs. LL and I have started a "code word" system to short circuit potential arguments. That is, if either one of us feels an argument is about to spiral out of control, that word is spoken and both of us must stop speaking or completely change the subject. Is that crazy?
- Random Radio Thought: I had never heard of Dennis Prager until a month or so ago. Kind of a strange guy.
- Did you see Ranger reliever Joe Nathan dressed up as Tony Romo after losing a bet? Here's a picture without the helmet. I'll tell you, that is one authentic uniform. There is no question the Cowboys helped the Rangers out with that one.
- BagOfNothing.com has a "High School Streaker Escape" which is high entertainment.

WOW WOW WOW
4.7 out of 5
Love the curves!!!!!
GJ BG!!!!!!
4.7 out of 5 on the Diabetes indicator scale.
I have a "code word" with my husband too....it's
"shut the hell up"!
best rt girl ever.
My hubby knows my code word for the argument to stop..and it is not shutup..it is a 6 letter word that begins with F
Saw the picture...didn't even read anything Barry wrote below (yet) ...instead, I went straight to the comments to check on the Bacon Scale rating.
muslims hate peace.
muslims love violence.
RTG: I wondered what happen to Shamu, she escaped and ended up on this blog!
On December 8th 1941 did FDR in his request to Congress to declare war on Japan ever in the slightest acknowledge anything that could have legitimized their attack on Pearl Harbor? Absolutely he did not. Why did our current administration even in the slightest attempt to legitimize anything about this current attack on America in Libya and Egypt? Are we afraid of third world thugs? Are we ashamed of our legacy of kicking the world's ass whenever we want to? It is clear that this President is ashamed of America.
obamas already distancing himself from the first response, an appology
I think this pic is a repeat.
And why shouldn't Romney criticize Obama?
It was Obama who helped these people overthrow their government in Libya.....and he went against Congress to do it!
The Jackal
Have you not figured this out yet Obama is a Muslim, He wants to help is Muslim land come on people wake up!!!!!!!
After Viet Nam, Tricky Dick Nixon, and Watergate, the Democrats looked invincible for years to come. I know the economy was suppose to be the big issue in the 1980 presidential election, but not big enough for the damaged Republican Party to unseat the incumbent president. The Iran Hostage Crisis will always be the game changer of that election.
My first thoughts of the news of the attacks at our embassies and the murder of our ambassador to Libya were to wonder if history is repeating itself?
Most of you don't remember that Iran used to be a friend of the U.S. before the liberals of America and Europe decided that the Shah of Iran should not be their leader. Now Obama and his allies in Europe handed Libya and Egypt over to the radicals.
"How many times can a man look up before he can see the sky."
And while you were sleeping the Fort Worth Star-Telegram tested their upcoming pay wall. Unless I was hallucinating.
The startlegram was trying out the pay wall last night or early this morning. You could look at the articles. You just couldn't read them without a subscription.
This blog loks more and more like MSNBC.
That girl could lose 20 pounds and she'd still be fat.
The RTG girl has been eatin too much Bacon.I bet she's about 75lbs a hoof.
Random girl can you say OINK,OINK!worse ever
Fox News has had the ticker since the 2000 presidential election.
I understand why you would think that Dennis Prager is strange. His clear thought probably short circuits your brain.
Romney's statement political?
Really? How about our president and his posse quit being such pany waisted idiots?
Romney spoke the truth.
Obama is Gay http://www.wnd.com/2012/09/claim-obama-hid-gay-life-to-become-president/
According to article in S-T today, the Rangers got help from the Cowboys' equipment manager for the outfitting of Joe Nathan in Romo attire
Didn't Dennis Prager host a syndicated TV show about the same time that Limbaugh did, in the 90s? I seem to remember it was a kinder, gentler version of Rush, dealing more in morals than politics
Today's RTG is a repeat - nothing wrong with a bodacious curvy gal. My only concern is that she resembles (and might be) one of those annoyingly over-hyped Kartrashians
BG,
The stock market is up because of the Fed printing money, making the dollar less valuable than before.
Same reason gold is way up.
Same reason the price of oil and gas has doubled.
At least rent a clue.
"Mitt Romney has already made the murder political by criticizing the White House's response."
Sorry, but Romney didn't make the murder political! The act itself was political.
If murdering an American Ambassador in an American Embassy abroad isn't already political, then what it?
Whose job is it to protect Americans on its own soil?
I don't think criticizing Obama's foreign policy is off limits considering the death toll in the Middle East. Lord knows everyone has criticized Bush about it.
I expect Obama to apologize to our enemies after the election and blame the evil on our freedom of speech.
Of course the Dow is up. Companies are not hiring and not ordering goods and services. They are saving billions of dollars of cash for when the hammer drops. From Obamacare, new taxes, new EPA regulations, companies are about to be hit hard. Many people are so anti-business. Business's is what drive the economy not the government. If Obama is re-elected and before this hammer drops, the Dow will drop hard because people like me will take our money out of company stocks and put it somwhere else. Because if not, it will disappear into the black hole of government.
Now that Obammy is in charge, the world loves us. Hillary is the one they can't stand.
9:11 Must have slept through history class if you made it that far. The Shah of Iran was a dictator at least as bad as Iraq's Hussain who Bushy went to war to overthrow. Also the liberal Pres. Carter praised the Shah in a state dinner held in his honor just the year before his overthrow and allowed him into this country for medical treatment sparking the revolution that brought the current group of thugs into power. So I guess this is typical twisting of the facts and change our view to what is popular your conservative Republicans are famous for
Obammy condemns the Romney campaign before it condemns the attack on the embassies. HUH?
Is that a Kardashian?
BREAKING NEWS: Osama Bin Laden Alive, General Motors Dead.
Once again, more good economic news. American Airlines to shut down Alliance Airport operations by the end of the year. Over one thousand people to lose their jobs. Are you better off than you were four years ago?
I just watched the trailer for that movie.
I understand the statement "We're upset because somebody made a movie that's disrespectful." But how is it not disrespectful to kill somebody that didn't have anything to do with the making of the movie?
What they oughta be upset about is the cheesy production values of that film "effort"
Triple Fake Roger ibn-Ebert
RMT girl is a repeat.
Those being critical of her should post their own pics...in bikinis...then we the public can compare and contrast the images on the Bacon scale.
(I'm betting you get no pics Bubear)
Bacon only looks between midriff and neck.
Al little top heavy but still a 5 to me.
HW wingman
Vote for him, he stands for everything you Love, Queers, Drugs and Abortion. You Disgust me
8:41...Bwahahahahaha! Righteous!
WAKE UP AMERICA! Your President Obamy is apologizing to the Muslims on behalf of the US. It is TOTALLY CRAZY!!!!!!
Dish Network to carry Glenn Beck's online network
10;00 , AA has been threatening to shut that base down since Bush. They shut the Kansas City base down (MCIE) under the Bush admin and told the employees they would shut the AFW base down in a matter of years. If you had fair warning, then it's your own fault for not transferring out. The reason for the base closures? Well let;s just say it wasn't the current admin that is to blame. The Republicans like outsourcing. It is cheaper to pay someone in El Salvador to overhaul a plane. There, unlike the AA base at AFW, they don't have to pass a drug test, speak or read English, or have a license that the people at Alliance do. AA was the only carrier to do almost all maintenance in house. Think about that next time you put your children on a plane. Even your beloved Kay Granger has been warned about these dangers from foreign vendors that have been known to hire terrorists. Many of the employees have visited her and other elected officials and their pleas have fallen on deaf ears. ( See the FAA reauthorization bill) So next time you get on a plane, think if you want a skilled , licensed mechanic whose work was signed off by an inspector, or a unskilled laborer who pencil whipped the paperwork in Malaysia.
Thank God I live in a country with a Bill of Rights. And as much as I am thankful for a country where Freedom of Speech is protected, I think I am more thankful about that whole seperation of Church and State thing.
And why after reading about this crap we do not fully embrace "America First" is beyone me. Screw places like this. Let them live in a Middle-Aged economy. That matches their mindsets.
102 Minutes... is a great documentary. That one and the one by the French brothers making the film about the FD at the WTC are my two favorites about those events.
Hawt RTG is Hawt.
9:47, just so you have not noticed, Arab countries do better in dictatorships. You think everyone should be just like you and believe as you believe. I guess you also support the chopping off of people's heads for acts of homosexuallity as as done in Iran today. It was not a practice under the dictatorship of the Shah. That brutal death sentence will soon be in effect in Egypt and Lybia. Thanks you Obama, I don't like fudge packers either.
People like 10 am are the reason we lose our jobs. Crybabies who want expect a LA to New York flight for 59 dollars, but have no problem paying the same to change the oil in the SUV because good upkeep is a must. You can't pull over and fix it at 35,000 feet asshole!
While you were sleeping: Our ambassador to Libya was killed by "folks" who were upset by a (horribly made) movie made in America which is disrespectful to Mohammed. And a picture of his dead body being paraded through the streets has now surfaced.
Truth Hurts, don't it?
Glenn Beck got owned by a flight attendant. Real tough guy.
Granger only cares about Lockheed and it's management. Not quality products made in USA. America is for sale to the highest foreign bidder.
*rollseyes at 10:41am*
Don't worry, I will have no issues continuing to regularly fly American, your scare tactics notwithstanding.
It gets easier and easier to skip this blog every day. That girl is a repeat, ps.
OK you smart guys - who do you suggest we bomb to show our anger about the Libyan embassy killings? Want to start another war you cannot win?
This mob obviously exceeded their rights of "free speech" but it is up to that country to identify and deal with the idiots. It may be our responsibility to deal with the goof who assembled the atrocious movie that was created to inflame passions in the Muslim world. (NOTE: Free speech does NOT include the right to yell "fire" in a theater.) You must be aware of how unhappy fundamental Christians are about any negative representation of their idols.
This is a horrific event and the president and secy of state have both condemned it strongly and moved to further increase safety for our embassy personnel. Now what is your suggested course of action?
Another day, another apology.
While ours heads are in the
sand our asses will remain on
the line.
That is all.
I will stand with the muslims, B.H. Obama
THAT'S MY WIFE'S PIC!!!
BG your little indirect snap at Romney justified the spineless sob you really are.
10:41, I agree with everything you said, but Skippy thinks the Obammy economic engine is humming along just fine when in reality it is headed for disaster. Obammy touts how he saved GM yet we will never be able to get our money back that we loaned them, he is hanging his hat on the Chevy Volt that costs GM 49 thousand dollars per car to produce and GM stock is in the tank. Once again, are we better off than we were four years ago?
Please just push the red button and make the Lybians and the World SCARED of the US once again. Enough of this panty waist apology crap.
11:04am, who said anything about bombing them. Close down our embassy, cut off all aid to the country, and declare it unsafe for travel. Then, collectively turn our Nation's back on it and put all that energy and caring we saved back into our own nation. Or one that appreciates our help.
11:04, I've got some swamp land to sell you. You think Obammy's apology was a strong condemnation? The plan is to gather intel on who these thugs were, and then send in a drone and take them all out, all in less than a hundred thousand dollars. What is your plan? Have your president and sec. of state give lip service apologies for our own citizens excercising their free speech rights in making a movie. Good luck with that.
11:25 I'm doing pretty well, thanks. How about you? My stock account has doubled since 2009. Maybe the question could be phrased, "Are you better off now than in a deep depression that could have occurred without the various actions that were taken?"
What's up with the "apology" stuff? If you read the actual quotes, it's Obama who vigorously criticizes the attacks and the Libyan government who has apologized. Or do facts just get in the way of your personal prejudices?
11:04, why don't we bomb the countries who participated in the no-fly zone over Lbyia that resulted in the the present situation. Go back and read the past posts and you will see that I warned that s--- would happen.
"I will stand with the Muslims
should the political winds shift

Barack Hussein Obama
Post from March 2011: "We now are seeing the birth of another Iran with the assistance of the news media and with that of the U.S. I remember the daily condemning of the Shaw of Iran in the news."
“How many times must a man look up. Before he can see the sky?"
I love all the comments about RTG. All the guys commenting negatively would do her in a heartbeat!!!
12:16 #2 - Go back and read the past posts you've written? As "Anonymous?" Uhh... Okay.
Osama is dead and so is our Ambassador. Get to bragging Joe.
11:59, I am so happy for you. You are one of the fortunate few that is better off. How about the MILLIONS that are unemployed, the 49 per cent that are on food stamps and the 1 in 6 that are living in poverty? Or do you even care. Obammy is on track to have the worst jobs record since WWII and you are going to vote him back in? Good luck and God bless you.
Is Osama Bin Laden better off now than he was 4 years ago?
Motor boat for mommy.
-Old Grey Wolf
Religious nuts are... well, nuts.
Yes, Osama is better off. He is living the high life with 72 virgins.
And why after reading about this crap we do not fully embrace "America First" is beyone me.
O. I. L.
Rage
Honcho will be the First one to cry when his plane takes a delay on the way to Florida NASCAR , and he misses the race.
11:59...pretty full of yourself, aren't you? If you think doubling your stock account is a good measure, you are in for a rude awakening. I am guessing you didn't hold GM stock or bonds. I am doing fairly well myself but I am a middle aged guy, debt free and have already raised my family. What about my kids? We are leaving them in one hell of a mess that I am afraid they will never be able to pull out of. Re-distribution of wealth is robbing the next generation of the opportunity to rise above the lazy and incompetent. That is the real disgrace of this administration. You can give the lazy and incompetent all you want and the end result will always be the same. If they didn't seize opportunity the first time it knocked, you can damn well bet they will not answer the second, third or fourth time either.
Today's girl is awesome. If you're going to repeat, it may as well be a good'n!!!!!
What movie are the rag heads mad about? 2016 made me mad but I'm not storming the Black House.
IS THE CODE WORD :ESCORT SERVICE?
@ 2:21 -
No real NASCAR fan flies to a race. You jump in the motor home or pull the trailer there.
(FYI: Honcho isn't really a NASCAR fan. You're putting too much stock in his avatar)
12:57--guys nail their hands. So that's not saying much. But I wouldn't do her. Just not into fat chicks.
12:16, You obviously gather your news from one source, MSNBC. This is an official press statement put out by the US Embassy in Cairo 9 and a half hours before the demonstrations and killings in Cairo and Lybia. "We condemn the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims." Seems as though someone(Obammy administration) is apoligising for an American's right to free speech now doesn't it?
I am into fat chicks. Wise County is paradise to me.
11:14 ALL I CAN SAY IS WHAT A DUMBASS
If you are concerned about the stock market check this out. Romney might not vote for himself.
http://juanitajean.com/2012/09/12/why-even-mitt-romney-should-vote-democratic/
haha Last post.
So Bubear, got any of those bikini pics from the masses to post for evaluation?
Didn't think so.
On the pontoon, uh huh! You people should take time out and listen to this song. Maybe you could at least imagine having a good time somewhere somehow!!!! Always whinning on here!!!!
Fact 1: Obama apologized to no one
Fact 2. Obama condemned the actions in Libya that killed embassy staff.
Fact 3: the embassy in Egypt condemned (not apologized for) the movie before the incited actions that resulted in the Libyan deaths.
Fact 4: Libyan government apologized to the US for the actions of some in Libya who perpetrated the attack on Americans from the embassy.
Now, spin it as you like.
Thanks Honcho for actually proposing a reaction to the mess in Libya. However, you overlook the fact that Libya sits on BIG oil reserves and our good ole American oil companies want some of it. So it's not really easy to just turn our backs on Libya. They have the oil and if we don't help exploit it, a bunch of other countries will.
So I'm still waiting for Romney's or some other brilliant observer to suggest our next course of action.
How many times would you have to re-load to shoot 41 rounds?
How long would that take??
Duh, New York Times:
"MOSCOW — Upon learning of the violent death of the United States ambassador to Libya on Wednesday, many Russians responded with variations on “I told you so.” Russia has long argued that the West should not support popular uprisings against dictatorships in the Middle East lest Islamic fundamentalism take hold."
Egypt, Lybia, Iran and soon Iraq and Syria. Three out of three ain't bad. Are we better off than we were three years ago? Should have listened to the Russians.
"How many times can a man look up before he can see the sky."
8:59
MSNBC.
The 'movie' was not even real. It was a mash of different vids with dialogue obviously and clumsily dubbed.
There may be a more retarded religion than islam but I'm not aware of it.
I saw the trailer on you tube..it's a comedy...can't those ragheads take a joke?
