Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts



  • That green tile which is in the background whenever someone addresses the General Assembly of the United Nations looks like it hasn't been changed since the 1970s.
  • That death of the baby by the dog in Burleson is so horrific that I wouldn't even watch the new story of it last night. 
  • Some 137 meter "tower" in Bridgeport needs to be repainted and the FCC has slapped the owner with a $10,000 fine so it will get done. 
  • Radio Shack has fired its CEO. It seems like that happens every couple of years. Them along with JC Penney and Hewlitt Packard.
  • First it was the lawyer's profane email stream that I linked to earlier this week and now an aide to Hillary Clinton goes off on a reporter via email as well. People behaving badly. 
  • I've been seeing Wise County Sheriff's deputies monitor traffic on 287. Two deputy cars were within a half mile of each other two days ago hiding in sneaky places. That's pretty rare.
  • Facebook fact: Everyone thinks their children are more "amazing" than anyone else's children. 
  • I'm kind of surprised that Weatherford College's Wise County campus has an actual Bridgeport address. Then again, I'm not sure I've ever seen a Wise County Zip Code map. 
  • You guys said it couldn't happen, but if the Rangers lose the next two to Oakland then things get dicey. (You do not want to be a wildcard team with that goofy one game playoff.) 
  • I always try to have a positive attitude, but I also believe in being honest with myself. 
  • I would hate to submit Lil Wayne to a deposition but some lawyer had to when the rapper sued Quincy Jones. 
  • That was a crazy wreck referenced in today's Update. I wonder how many times brakes actually "fail" these days?
  • Andy Williams has died this morning. I can't say that I'm a big fan, but Moon River ain't bad. And he pretty much discovered The Osmonds -- which probably were bad but weren't back in the day.

I may not be able to sleep tonight because the green tile at the United Nations has not been changes in years. Not that the crazy leader of Iran who wants to wipe Israel off the face of the earth is speaking today that is also a religious day for Jews!!

Talk about hate speech; everything out of his mouth is hate. And our President talks about a hateful video causing all the mob protest among radical Muslims in the Middle East.

And our President refuses to meet with Israel's leader because he has to campaign on The View.

I think Obama believes he is a Ruler; that he rules instead of governs!!! He certainly acts like a Ruler!

Please don't get started talking about the pit killing the baby. There have been thousands of comments of people arguing about the breed, guilt of the humans and killing of the dog...poor baby was lost in the arguing...he died of head mauling...so sad. BTW the dog was unaltered...a spayed dog is much less aggressive...spay & neurter you dogs people!

BG, the RTG is acceptable. Nothing special, a little chunky, and working too hard to gain my attention...but, no doubt, I'd hit it. However, I don't regularly read your blog to see what passes for hot at the elementary school PTA organizational meeting. I'm here for the fantastic, the amazing, the "oh my" moments. This isn't one.

You can do better.

I first heard of Andy Williams from the Simpsons where Bart, Milhouse, Nelson & Martin are on a road trip. Tried to find a link with zero success.

Andy had an amazingly long career with many hits and one of the finest variety shows on TV.
Good clean, wholesome entertainment. No place for that today.

The one thing I remember about Andy Williams was over something that happened 20 years ago when he located himself at his theater in Branson, Missouri.

He was quoted in the media as saying most of the Country Music in Branson was "crap" — and Country Music radio stations in my area, at least, responded by gathering up all of their Andy Williams albums and flattening them with a steamroller.

Am I the only one who remembers this?

here is a link to the Simpson's Episode archive - it's episode 3F17 Bart on the Road, from March 1996

Within the past eight years I know of three separate households/ where digs bites occurred to the faces of grade school girls. Each required plastic surgery.
Very scary.
What legislation can we create to guard against this?

The WCSO on 287 aren't monitoring traffic. They are there for the wellsite traffic entering and exiting between where they were sitting.

Today's girl? Very Nice. She would pass for Very Nice on any blog. I like the "real women" on this blog. If I wanted movie stars, or models, I'd go where I'd expect to see them. I do not. Therefore..... I'll agree to the 4 out of 5 for today.

BG,

"I always try to have a positive attitude, but I also believe in being honest with myself."

WOW. JUST... WOW.

Remember the sheriff that killed the guy, with cause? Remember Obama giving a kill order for two US citizens without due process?

Remember the US of A? Going down the tubes because of a douche like you supporting Obama?

Check yourself.

Another gem by "Banal" Barry Green.

I am disciplined.
I am positive, but realistic.
I like it when the leaves turn color and the weather cools off.
Football is fun to watch.
I like cheeseburger.
I think breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Stand for something or you will fall for anything.

I think the bragging facebook mom's want everyone else to think their kids are better not that they really believe they're better. There is a difference.

Looks like the corrupt Obama woman has had a face lift. On taxpayers dime no doubt.

You know, you're right. Let's eliminate all dogs after all, they've been on earth thousands of years, their time is up. That "Man's Best Friend" BS has gotten really old if you ask me.

So I'm all for banning the existence of all dogs.....PERIOD.

Who's with me?

Is Obama an Arab Spring member. If not why would he support them? The leader of Iran also supports of them too?

My child informed me that there were some teachers/principals inspecting lunches that their parents packed for school. My child mentioned that they were checking to see if their food was healthy. I find this to be very concerning. The elementary schools have become a sweat shop for testing and other money generating assessments. Since my child is being assessed Mon-Fri. on his/her abilities with little instruction, it is my opinion that they deserve a Hershey Big Block to help prepare them for the 30 plus bullshit worksheets coming their way. What is in my childs lunch is none of your business. As stressful as these school have become they may even deserve a pack of lucky's with a smoke break. With that being said, I hope all of you pajama jean wearing, middle aged beauty queens worry about mixing a salad in your own lunch before you inspect my childs food choices.

That green tile at the UN is not tile. It is slate, a natural stone. And since it was already about a hundred million years old when they put it up there, I don't see how 40 years or so would cause it to be worn out. And since no other country supports UN expenditures to the extent that we do, and we're broke, would you like for Obama to borrow some MORE money from China to change that tile? Just so he could say "We built that"?

The last time my brakes failed was in 1959 on my '47 Studebaker.

For those of you tell us pit bulls are lap dogs; between 1982 and 2011 of the 388 deaths from dog attacks 207 were pit bulls. Rottweilers were second with 78. dogsbite.org. Any is too many. Keep your dogs at home and secured. Don't let any dog around a baby. Your host the lawyer will tell you "my dog don't bite", until it does.

can you not post something on facebook, about how proud you are of your kids? Doesn't mean they are better than anyone else, just means you are proud of their accomplishments, (and each child has different things they have to go through)and you are proud of them. If you don't like it, delete those friends. Otherwise have your own kids, and see how amazed and happy you are when they accomplish something everyday, no matter how little, they learn so fast! My kids are grown, and I still brag about them on facebook, and will continue!
