- This is weird: The man who found the dead teenager last June at his doorstep in the Tanglewood area of Fort Worth (it was later determined she was part of a botched robbery), was found dead himself in a burning car on Sunday. It would have been the deceased teenager's birthday.
- The Mavericks beat the Lakers last night. I think I know why: Look at how Steve Nash showed up for the game. I don't think a bow tie and a purse is a good look even for LA.
- What happened to the churches that would put on the controversial "Hell Night" open house on Halloween?
- I came home to see about 50 cobwebs made out of straight pretzels last night spread out all over the countertops. Apparently the were going to be "glued" together with some type of chocolate. The last I checked, the plan had gone horribly wrong.
- You would think the Jersey Shore cast would show up at the destroyed boardwalk along the Jersey shore for a photo op. It's too soon, but those guys would do it.
- I've got a neighbor who has a trailer so packed full of stuff for deer season you would swear he was planning for war.
- I've got no desire to shoot a deer.
- Still the funniest Halloween story. I had a buddy who ran out of candy but had one straggler ring the door bell late. My buddy just dropped a bunch of change in the kid's bag which prompted the kid to run to the front of the porch and scream, "He's giving away money!!!" His friends came out of the woodwork.
- When I was a kid on Halloween. I threw eggs at a state trooper. Heck, you'd get arrested for aggravated assault these days for doing that. (Statute of limitations has passed.)
- Trick or Treating has made a comeback in the last ten years, hasn't it? At one point it seemed that the tradition had basically died out.
- Yeah, the senior-citizens-cussing commercial put out by moveon.org is offensive but the only reason we know about it is because every conservative talk radio and tv show played it yesterday. (But it was an awkward moment on Hannity last night because you could hear one of the stage crew laugh about it when they quickly cut back to a live shot of Hannity after the the commercial was played.)
- I'm not sure I knew meteorologist Rebecca Miller was at Channel 33 but she announced she's leaving that station due to a "new format."
- The Forest Hill pastor murder is one crazy story. But there was an odd twist last night when I heard the janitor interviewed who said he was also attacked with the electric guitar but "when he came to" he found the pastor was already dead. I think people get knocked out and "come to" far more in the movies than in real life.

Yesterday made my eyes bleed, today's RTG made my pants shrink.
Way to go Barry.
You keep making comebacks like this and you might find yourself the next head coach of the dallas cowboys
RTG: DAMN!!! Thanks BG, this one makes up for yesterday BIG TIME!
Where are Barry's comments about Obama being a shoo-in for reelection?
He's been making them all year, but he suddenly stopped.

Not bad BG
I love to pass out candy/bacon to all the kids.
Hey BG
I'm sure you'd rather have the deer die of something like malnutrition or disease.
But u r correct about Halloween....living in Chicagoland back in the 80's when the Tylenol tampering occurred. It had a devastating effect.

Democrat campaign ads have certainly elevated political discourse, haven't they? Between the "First Time" ad and the foul-mouthed old people, Democrats must not think very highly of their constituency.
You might hit your neighbor up to take you deer hunting. Hunting and fishing are natural instincts that lower blood pressure in the human male. You might get a good spike in BP when your prey walks up but the overall effect is to lower it. Farming (mowing your yard, pulling weeds and growing vegetables) also lowers your blood pressure. Try it. Being a lawyer and verbally fighting with people raises your blood pressure.
It's not weird - it's called payback for whatever his involvement was, real or imagined, in her death. There were red flags all over the initial story about this guy. The autopsy will probably show the guy was killed, then put into the car and burned. And it's no coincidence it happened on her birthday. That was the exclamation point on his death sentence
Doubtful you'll see the Jersey Shore cast back at the Jersey shore until after the bars reopen.

BG, I note that the Libs have really gone out of their way to take attention away from Obama. Apparently, they have overblown the magnitude of Sandy, have murdered at least 55 people, and have cut the power to millions of people, all in an attempt to make sure the press is busy with something so they won't report on Obama's failings associated with the embassy attack.
They are so tricky.
I can't decide if Sandy was a huge news story or over-hyped because it involves the East coast.
See, yesterday you made this comment in past tense like Sandy was done with. The destruction had yet to come.
Look at all that devastation. Now do you think it was over-hyped?
I will say this, I thought the black people of New Orleans were dumb for failing to evacuate, but there were just as many dumb white people in Jersey.

Inquiring minds want to know:
Geiser or Drake?
Can the United States borrow more money from China? We need to pass it out to Obama's base hit by the tropical storm.
Question for the lawyer....
Is this legal?
I was upset to find out when I dropped my kid off at school (Not in Wise County) this morning that there were police officers searching students bags and their clothes as the teachers stood there. All because somebody created a fake FB profile and friend-ed a few kids and said 'I walk among you. The 31st is the big day....'
No search warrants. No threats.
While I want my child to be safe, can you tell me if this is legal???
9:11 - From a school standpoint the police would have to have "Probable Cause" to search a student's backpack. School administrators only need "Reasonable Suspicion" to search. Still, I am glad they ere on the side of caution to protect students and staff. BG would know the answer to your legal question.
I love early voting. Last night I showed up at one of the voting locations in Denton about 6:55 pm.
No line, none.
There were 10 booths available for voting, only 1 was being used.
I filled out my ballot(there were some people running for the Green party on the ballot, I almost voted for one of them) hit enter and left.
I was the last person there other than the poll workers. They locked the door behind me when I left at 7:02.
Had Enough?

Vote Matthew Britt
Steve Nash would be a shoe-in if they want to bring back Mr. Rogers!
Matthew Britt is young and has NO experience except as a student and has no chance but has good ideas. I had to vote for him. Of course the incumbent is Phil King so I would have voted for anyone. Watch for Britt in the future.
The dude who was recently killed and burned said at the time of the botched robbery at his house in June that he wasn't a drug dealer, but he was arrested in October for poss. of meth, and was currently under indictment in Tarrant County. Sounds like he may have been a little more involved than he let on. If only they would legalize all drugs, this behavior would stop.
RTG: That back-fat looks like a pack of weiners. GROSS!!!
911 and for a $75 consult fee you can get the answer to that question.
Would this state trooper be the one that was allergic to eggs, and his eye was swelled up by the time he got to the carport???
Weiner jokes in 3,2,1.....
So has everyone in Decatur had their new smart meter installed by Oncor? What good are they, apparently not in effect for 60 days?
The guy that was killed and burned in his car owned one of the most prolific meth dens in Fort Worth. While it's strange that he was killed on the dead girl's birthday, it could have very well been an incredible coincidence.
9:05 It had to be "Hateful Harold"
1139 needs to have his man card revoked
While it's strange that he was killed on the dead girl's birthday, it could have very well been an incredible coincidence.
Uhhh, no it's not. I'd look into the first dead guy's family members. A death on a birthday wreaks of revenge.
On another note, it looks like that DPS helicopter shooting is going to get some scrutiny:

Speaking of "egging houses", I grew up in a very small town in the panhandle. One warm summer night there was a fancy wedding going on at Coldwater Creek ranch outside of town. It was owned by the Bivins family, whose mother happened to be Lady Bird Johnson's best friend. Some of my crazy high school classmates decided to throw baggies full of flour at the cars coming back through town after the wedding. They had no idea Lady Bird Johnson was on a fancy, black chartered bus (along with several secret service agents) but you can imagine the commotion it caused when they flour-bombed the bus. We just celebrated our 30 year class reunion and it was one of the reunion highlights as we remembered the looks in their eyes as the SS pulled their weapons on a bunch of crazy 17 year olds : )
trick-or-treating has not change. you just have kids in the house.

So I guess Obama Derangement Syndrome means you chuckleheads believe not only that the President caused this storm (such powers! he must be a god!), but also that the lying shitweasel Romney -- who said, in public, on a debate stage, that he would "absolutely" turn over disaster relief to the states and that, further, disaster relief funding was part of the “immoral” growth of the deficit -- is the guy we need to replace him with? Yoicks.
PS, 8:43/Dolfan: All Barry said is that he himself doesn't feel the need to shoot a deer. Defensive much?
9:05: Heh. ;-)
3:04 Did you for the Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers?
3:04, just concerned about his high blood pressure.
3:04, How soon we forget the liberal nonsense about Bush creating Katrina and masterminding 9/11, or are those different because it is ok when liberals get all crazy town!
Hope Ch 5 gets Rebecca Miller back, she's the best.
this was W's fault..he told me he just wanted to through a little excitement into the election, damn he's good.
"When I was a kid on Halloween. I threw eggs at a state trooper. Heck, you'd get arrested for aggravated assault these days for doing that. (Statute of limitations has passed.)"
Ah, Barry, we see the origination of your disdain for law enforcement. So little has changed. Just that now, the eggs are figurative.

"Hunting" a deer in Texas often involves sitting in a box, putting out corn feed within easy shooting distance, and then waiting for deer to come eat. Then you shoot them as they approach or walk off. Wow. What a great sport. Why not just go to a zoo and hunt?
Ermagerrd, 4:04. No one said Bush " created " Katrina - just that his do-nothin', know-nothin' appointees botched the response because they didn't give a shit and didn't know why that was in and of itself a problem.
Also - no one said Bush "masterminded ". 9/11 - just that he ignored all warnings and did no prep, because the warnings came from Clinton's people. And but then he used it to get us into two horrible bullshit wars, so: win! Yay!
There are hunters and there are gatherers. You are definitely a gatherer you little flower picking fairy.
1:45...No one, I mean like really no one? Tell it to Charlie Sheen, Woody Harrelson, Jessie Ventura, Janene Garofalo, Rosie O'Donnel and Heidi and Spencer Pratt!!! Oh wait, I think I left out Mos Def and Willie Nelson!

You learned so little on how to hunt.
When I was 10, my dad would take me and my brothers to 1000+ acre locations. I learned how track deer with their droppings, tracks, antler rubbings, hair on barbed wire or tree branches. We built our own ground blinds by gathering old tree branches (he taught us to use what was already dead and not cut down living trees). I learned discipline by sitting hour after hour as still as I could be sometimes in the rain and snow.
Thank you 9:47, what the anti-deer blind folks don't seem to realize is that with a little training and skill you can easily scout a piece of land and locate your game. The deer will end up just a dead either way. I hunt both ways and can take a deer just as easily either way. It is not rocket surgery....just look for the signs, pay attention to your wind and cover, be quite and move slow.
