- There have been two arrests in the death of the Tanglewood homeowner who found the teenager dead after a botched robbery. Recall his body was found in a burnt out car on what would have been the teenager's birthday. Police now believe he was strangled beforehand.
- We had to dog sit three dogs last night due to an "emergency". I felt like a Petsmart manager.
- Conservative talk radio is discussing everything from changing its stance on immigration and abortion to "finding a more attractive messenger to convince those people we are right."

Kansas State the Aggies would do as well as they have in their new conferences but they've also done about as well as anyone could have predicted. (Does that make sense?)
- I just don't remember as a kid the temperature being in the 80s as high school football season came to an end.
- The first openly bi-sexual member of Congress is also a "Hey, Now."
- I've watched probably 15 minutes of Pee Wee football/practice over the last two years but some of the coaches are way too hard and physical with those kids. (I was a TXI Mustang, by the way.)
- Kay Granger will speak in Rhome tomorrow. That's surprising. As in surprising she crosses the Wise County line.
- Darrell Royal retired from coaching at 52. Mack Brown is 61. (And everyone says that this long article about Royal published this week is really good.)
- High school geometry looks harder than I remember. And I saw words on a "biology spelling test" last night that I had never heard of.
- "Mortgage giant Fannie Mae earned $1.8 billion from July through September [and] paid a dividend of $2.9 billion to the U.S. Treasury and sought no additional federal aid." Funny how all that worked out after all.
- Great photo of a model of the re-creation of the assassination of JFK. (If that makes sense.)

Republicans need to quit attempting to manage women's lives, get real on immigration, and genuine tax reform. Close all the loopholes and put that money toward our debt.
There is a case for conservative vlaues, but TEA party idiots are going to keep us out of office for the forseeable future.
And yet cut spending, but not just on those people we don't like.
Cut military spending as well.
Hey BG
It's football stupid....maybe you should have taken up figure skating. Oh wait.....we have voted for a kinder gentler country. I'm sorry.....really sorry.
Can I pay for your next counseling appointment?

PeeWee Football--the epitome of Idiocracy in this nation. Have those kids do soccer and/or basketball. Waaay better for them (1) conditioning-wise; and (2) reduced chance of injury-wise.

The first openly bi-sexual member of Congress is also a "Hey, Now."
We are probably 2-4 years away from having an open pedophile elected as well. Good to see these social stigmas fading away. Maybe in another 4 years we can elect elect a zoosexual!!! Hurray for America
I'm with you, BG. Was a cheerleader back in the day, and we had to wear sweaters in the last half of football season due to the cold. Now I'm not sure cheerleaders even have sweaters to wear. The autumn weather we have had this last week is the kind of weather I remember beginning in September - when September was part of fall and not the end of summer!
Republicans are not going to change their stance on abortion (I hope). Just change the way they present that stance. We never say that we want to outlaw all abortion, just let the states decide if they want to allow it or not. It is not a federal issue. Nor is it a Presidential issue. And if you think all abortions are OK, then you are a sad individual. Look at those new daughters of yours and think of how it would be if their mom had decided to abort any or all of them.
"because a girlfriend made me go see it"
Pretty much sums up everthing we need to know about you. What you should have told this GF is that you do not care for James Bond movies, now go make me a sammitch!!!!
Random Friday thought ~ Bridgeport cheerleaders clean up your toilet paper that is now all over not only the school property but also the neighbors!!!!! I understand school spirit, but now this looks like very trashy. Take responsibility and clean up after yourself!
DKR was a legend. As much a part of UT lore as Bevo. Sorry that old age & disease caught up with him.

O MY!!!!!!!! GO MAVS. You know that is all Mark Cubans doing right?!?!?!?
8:48 Principles matter. If you have them, you stand on them no matter what. There are things we can compromise,principles are not among them. When you win an election by compromising values, what do you have?
The fact that you think the Fannie Mae situation "worked out after all" only illustrates that you are not burdened with a clue. Trillions of dollars in debt, and you think it's a victory that they paid a miniscule portion in a dividend and didn't require still more "aid". No wonder you find junior-high geometry baffling.
9:15 AM
values, principles...?
Now all you have to do is figure out what those words mean, LAWFAG.
Abortion is not Federal issue, it's not a State issue, it's not an issue for any governmental body, it's an issue of a woman's body. It's her decision and hers alone.
Mavs cheerleader uniforms----HELL YES!!!!!!!!
The Messkins that used to hang out at Primo's have scattered. Now they hang out at La Cena, AND Allsups. I hate to say I told you so, but... Decatur needs to clean up, BADLY. What a trashy town.
The Nihilist
8:48 you are an idiot.
If Repubs do all the stupid things you want there will just be one giant Democratic Party.
"Mortgage giant Fannie Mae earned $1.8 billion from July through September [and] paid a dividend of $2.9 billion to the U.S. Treasury and sought no additional federal aid." Funny how all that worked out after all.
But the Dems will have you believe if we don't raise taxes we are going over the Fiscal Cliff, which will happen no matter what. Good job Obama! You take all the money you want from the people and it wont be enough.
If Boehner compromises, there will be no Republican Party in the near future.
And he is a pus, by the way.
Guy burnt in car:
I called that one, although it was a fairly safe bet. Usually, when a person is "found" in a burnt car, they didn't die from fire/smoke inhalation.
Also car-related:
I forgot to comment on your goofy statement yesterday about the fatality-free day on Texas roads. It might make sense if you're talking about highways/interstates only, but if it includes all Texas roads!? Consider the thousands of miles of road in this state, and the thousands of drivers every day. It's amazing that there ever was a single day when there wasn't a fatality!
You'd think the average person would accidently watch several Bond movies over several decades. What's the reasoning behind purposely avoiding them?
"Only one Bond movie? If I didn't already know different, I'd think you was African-American. The only reason a black man got to watch a Bond movie is because of that one with Halle Berry in it. Otherwise, we've always been in the background playing chauffeurs and housekeepers. Might as well call 'em Still-in-Bondage films. You've watched one Bond movie. One!? ONE! I guess that's how you was raised."

"Hey, now" linkie no workie.
Back in the old days, district football games ran to about Thanksgiving and I can remember one year where the last district game was after Thanksgiving. Only 1 team went to the playoffs back then and the districts were bigger. That means more teams played into late November than they do today.
I looked up the district from my Jr. year:
District 11 AA
Bridgeport
Decatur
Keller
Lake Worth
Northwest
Springtown
Whitesboro
Tea Party candidates were elected because voters want reform. They are about limited government and debt reduction;supported by the majority of voters according to polling on election day. More Republican governors were also elected to hold office. The Tea Party is not the Christian right social issues.

Fannie Mae worked out? Better check the facts. A quick search shows a report by AP in Feb. 2012 shows the the government had spent $116 billion in bailing out Fannie Mae. Doesn't sound like it worked out too good to me. And if you think they are done your nuts. Wait till the coming layoffs from Obamacare hit, not to mention the foreclosures that will happen when interest rates rise.
And they also bailed out Freddie Mac

Thanks for starting off the day with a rational comment. We need more of those around here.

You're showing your lack of intelligence. Do yourself a favor and STFU
When Obama bin Laden is done, you will more than likely work in a Petsmart.
TCU just became bowl eligible with 16 starting freshmen. That's a huge testament to the program and Coach Patterson.
GO FROGS!!!
JFF ! I pray AGGIES and tu play in Cotton bowl.
10:13 and 8:48, Now let us just wait and see if Obama cuts spending on just those who he doesn't like! Sounds like to me he made it perfectly clear he was targeting one specific group through higher taxes and spending cuts...but anyone with a brain knows that was just to get elected, and he will have to dip into the middle class. When he realizes there are simply not enough households making over 250K to put a dent in the deficit the middle class will once again be called upon to make up the difference through taxes. Lets just see if his plan can restore enough jobs to the middle for this to even be a viable option. We are smack dab in the middle of the lost decade somewhat like what Japan faced.
Cleverly Disguised ,
Let's be honest on the pro/anti abortion stand. There isn't a politician out there that is going to touch this thing with a 10 ft pole if they get elected. Why? Because even IF all abortions were made illegal, there would still be back alley, black market abortions being done by crooked docs. Women would still use a coat hanger or broomstick to do what they want. IF all abortions were made legal, and a doctor was allowed to kill the baby on the way out the canal, there would be more clinic bombings, social unrest, and religious outcry. Is all that even worth going after once their in office?
Nope.
So why is it a hot topic? Far left, and far right like to stir the pot, and make their points known. Bottom line....I foresee some legislation being done to regulate it, but not abolish it. When one regulation goes too far one way, then it will be argued about, protested about, and end up going back the other way. The pendulum will continue to swing each direction. Like everything else in society, there will be more red tape.
8:48 Your original comment was well thought out. I merely replied. Your follow up speaks more about your intelligence than you viewpoint. Sad display. But I support your right to make an ass of yourself. Well done.
I've seen today's RTG photo before. It has since been heavily photoshopped.
Police now believe he was strangled beforehand.
Told you so.

Conservative talk radio is discussing everything from changing its stance on immigration and abortion
Wait. The Republicans on this blog claim they won't compromise principles for votes. What happened?
Oh yeah, they'll compromise any principle for votes. I forgot.
They might also consider thinking that rape is a bad thing that God abhors, not God's Machiavellian way of bringing a life into the world.
to "finding a more attractive messenger to convince those people we are right."
Yeah, because that Obama is such a good looking guy. That's why he gets votes.
I've watched probably 15 minutes of Pee Wee football/practice over the last two years but some of the coaches are way too hard and physical with those kids. (I was a TXI Mustang, by the way.)
I'm with you, and I played football for 16 years, and rugby for five.
Darrell Royal retired from coaching at 52. Mack Brown is 61.
Mack Brown brings in cash. His winning record is of secondary importance.
"Mortgage giant Fannie Mae earned $1.8 billion from July through September [and] paid a dividend of $2.9 billion to the U.S. Treasury and sought no additional federal aid." Funny how all that worked out after all.
Maybe Bain Capital should buy it. That would make it lose money again.
We are probably 2-4 years away from having an open pedophile elected as well.
Wise County Pastor, is that you?
Was a cheerleader back in the day, and we had to wear sweaters in the last half of football season due to the cold.
Ahhh, that brings back memories for me, too. Cheerleader sweater puppies. I'll be in my bunk.
We never say that we want to outlaw all abortion, just let the states decide if they want to allow it or not.
That's what GWBush said about gay marriage. The Massachusets allowed gay marriage. First words out of Bush's mouth: "We need a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage."
Fool me once...
It is not a federal issue.
Then your Republican Congressmen should STFU about it.
Nor is it a Presidential issue.
The Romney shouldn't have endorsed the rape baby Republicans.
Look at those new daughters of yours and think of how it would be if their mom had decided to abort any or all of them.
It'd be quieter in the house, that's for sure.
When you win an election by compromising values, what do you have?
Control.
Tea Party candidates were elected because voters want reform.
No. They were elected in small pockets or red states where the tea party has hijacked politics. They will never win a true state-wide election where there is a moderate alternative. They will only win in areas where the Republican they pushed out of the nest would have won, too.
Rage
Again, all you abortion supporters out there always forget that there is an innocent life involved in that decision and they pay the ultimate price for the wrong decision. Do they not deserve a voice? We constantly try to educate the public on this but the media always turns our words around to make it look like we want all abortions ended and mothers to be saddled with rape and incest babies, and that is not the case. Open your minds, discuss and listen to the opposing point-of-view. You don't have to agree, just listen and try to understand.
I am curious where libs would draw the line? just prior to birth? just after birth? after 1 year of age? after 5 years of age? When does it become murder and not "a womans right to choose?"
Finish this sentence:
It's okay to kill a baby in the womb when ________________________.
Please no smart arses.
Rage is the new MzChief. So much damn text in your message that no one reads it.
I am for post term abortions if it means less dems. I say we make abortion legal all the way up to 25. If you can prove by that age you will not be a burden to society we let you live. The first 25 years is just a probation period; do right we let you live and your car insurance gets cheaper.
Somehow I knew Rage would be for Pedophiles in office!!! Kill the unborn, refuse to protect them when they are...pretty much right up his alley.
Seriously Rage, is the lib/your response to an argument always going to be, but the rupublican is worse.
Piety only gets you so far in a conversation. At some point you are going to have to give the dead horse a rest.
Rage,
If only your mother had exercised her "right" to abortion.
Most companies do well if you just write off the majority of debt and and previous poor management, then they start from scratch. I wonder how much it cost to bring FM to this point.
11:52, it wasn't a right yet back then.
Sorry folks, you can't have it both ways.
Rage
It's called a double standard and you are the biggest fan of them rage
Companies plan massive layoffs as Obamacare becomes reality.
This is just 3 days after the election and companies are closing doors and laying off folks like there is no tomorrow. Which got me thinking, maybe there IS no tomorrow?
12:53 - Cue December 21, 2012 Guy/Gal/Person
Please enlighten us all as to my double standards, Rex.
Rage
12:53 Sorry,I was listening to the old tune The End Of the World by Skeeter Davis,now what did you want?
Its prolly that you're ghay.
Is all well in New England now?
The king just headed east for a
culinary vacation with the Cambodian dog eaters.
What is the over / under on unemployment after the holidays?
With post election lay offs, end
of temporary holidays jobs and
Obamacare closer to reality.
I would guess 11% reported
24% actual. Welcome to Athens DC
One only need reference any of your daily responses to someone who complains about the current administration
Lawdog:
I only commented once!
8:48
I'd love to kiss those lips.
Rex, you need to look up the definition of double standard, I guess. I'm no fan of the Obama administration and have given laundry lists of his mistakes in the past.
The problem that you and wordkyle have is that you think a condemnation of one party is automatically an acceptance of the other. I can loathe the Republican Party, and still be in general disagreement with the president's administration.
Get back to me when you can point to an actual double standard.
I won't be holding my breath.

Hey Rex

9:12 ~ are you serious!!!! dont you know who your talking about? Look at last names!!
8:48 My apologies. That's why everyone should use a handle on here. I redirect my comment to the coward of 9:15. But I'm out for today. There's only so much of this wonderful blog I can take for one week. I suggest everyone take some time for those you love and get some rest this weekend. We can do it all again come Monday!
2:40 PM
Be advised, the coward of 9:15 is a Marine lifer. Watch your mouth, boy.
If you are LEO, that is the equivalent of a 1st year college dropout. Let that be on your mind all weekend.
Please!!! hold your breathe Rage and go away.
and I still love me some camel toe.
No one can see the collective intelligence on these posts and be against abortion.
Who was James Bond agent 003??
Bada bing....
Well Rage, at least you realize that your party just elected George Bush all over again, save for the tax the wealthy bit, which we all know was purely to get elected. Even if Obama sticks by his promise on this it is like trying to fill up the grand canyon with a million bb's.
Rage, In a great many of your comments you twist the facts or just outright lie to make a point. Sometimes you omit facts and tell half truths, other times it is just pure fabrication. Then you call out WK for doing the same. Not defending WK here, he does the same as you, just with a different approach. That is straight up double-standard there bud.
Stop lying Ragekyle.
331 - Since you brought me into your conversation, cite examples of what you consider my "omitted facts and half truths, and pure fabrication."
11:16: [sigh]. Again, all you forced-gestation and forced-birth supporters out there always forget that there is a living, breathing, already-born human woman involved. She's got her own rights, body, health, responsibilities (which over 60% of the time includes other living children, btw) -- does she not deserve a voice?
Your side always says "a woman's right to choose" with such dismissive contempt. There's no way to understand that attitude without seeing it for what it is: part of your overall dismissive, contemptuous attitude toward women, period.
And to answer your facile question: It's murder when the person involved is on its own a functioning human being -- as in, no longer dependent for its next breath upon the body of another specific human being (i.e. the person gestating it).
I know you probably stopped reading this some time ago, but you low-information types are always asking your bullshit rhetorical "when is it murder??" questions with the picture in your mind of healthy, almost-full-term infants growing peacefully inside the uteruses of lazy shiftless sluts who change their tiny little minds at the last minute (again, contemptuous dismissal of women FTW!), so I'm going to finish by re-(re-re-re-re)stating another fact: 88% of all abortions are done in the first 12 weeks of gestation. Later-term abortions are almost always either because finances or legal impediments have delayed the woman seeking the termination, or because there is something fatally wrong with the fetus or life-threatening to the mother. You find me one of the lazy, shiftless sluts who would abort an 8-month fetus just 'cause, and I'll eat the computer I wrote this on, Chuck.

Quick question, y'all: Where did you Obama-haters get the idea that he's such a vindictive asshole?
I mean -- disagree with his vision or his policies if that's your thing, but what on earth evidence or indication do you have that he's bent on destroying all the conquered (or however it is you folks like to say it, in this strange paranoia you're gripped by)? Of all the things you all say about him, that's the one I understand the least.
Why can't we talk about the Bridgeport Bulls star running back and his MIP????
WK....would it matter, seriously. You link to articles to support your opinions (which I tend to agree with btw)and no matter how unfactual the article might be, you roll it out like it was imperical evidence. You will run with anything you can find, no matter how suspect, to back your side(re-read your posts about the nationwide polls). I just think you are too entrenched in your own ideology to even realize when it is time to call BS on something. Your a spin machine, any attack on a conservative talking point, conservative ideal, or person and you put the blinders on and go to work. If you caught Todd Akin in the middle of raping a woman, you would spin it into that he shouldn't be in trouble because he was just trying to prove out his points that women cannot get rape preggers!
I'm with WK here, 3:31: [Citation needed].

11:16;
There are no "abortion supporters" in these comments except the Republicans who want to abort liberals. There are no "abortion supporters" in the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party and the Libertarian both support the right of women to make their own choices. Both parties believe it is a very private decision and government should stay out of the decision. None are "abortion supporters" and all would hope abortions would seldom be necessary.
434 - What about my posts on the nationwide polls? Or any other topic? You've made accusations against me (and I was not involved in your conversation) but when pressed you don't/won't/can't give examples of what you're talking about. I'm glad you tend to agree with me, but after your accusation either put up or retract your statement and shut up.
Kay will go to Rhome because even she knows you have to do a photo op with the poor in Wise County, and the fact that people in that town are very ignorant of her voting record towards then and others of their median income. Look on the bright side though, this is the one and only time Rhome got the better end of the deal, as Decatur got Phil.
