- Headline today: "Texas last fatality-free day on Texas roads was 12 years ago today." You'd think that would happen a heck of a lot more frequently than that.
- Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh were all smiles and optimism yesterday. I thought the future of America depended on the election?
- Mrs. LL got up at 5:00 to do swimming/exercise. Then we almost hit each other as I left for work and she returned.
- The Fourth Grader in the House has yet to acknowledge that there are only two bunnies and not three in the cage. She absolutely knows, though.
- Fox 4 had a story last night on a dilapidated trailer park in Parker County between Azle and Springtown. It was awful. No one should have to live in those conditions.
- The NFL channel had a one hour documentary on Jimmy Johnson last night. It was great. Man, it's fun to see him and Jerry Jones in the beginning.
- Maybe the best explanation of the election: There's just not enough old angry white guys.
- WBAP's Hal Jay keeps saying "We need to get back to an Andy Griffith way of life." Chris Matthews would interpret that as "code" for something else.
- Heard by me: "It's yoyo for dinner." Me?: "Huh?" Her: "You're on your own."
- Heard a million times on the news yesterday: "Fiscal cliff."
- There's a Danny Thomas and a Burt Lancaster listed in the funerals in the Update today.
- Those Obama girls sure have grown up, haven't they?
- My blood sugar turned out not to be at a diabetes level but still high. I think I'm going to take a class on how to control it.
- In honor of Darrell Royal, the Longhorns will line up in the wishbone on their first play on Saturday. But I can't imagine them doing anything other than handing off to the fullback because running the true triple option isn't easy. And passing out of that formation would be very un-Royal like.
- Sarah Palin was on Fox on election night and had a really drawn in face.
- Ted Nugent on Obama's re-election: "I cry tears of blood for The Last Best Place & the warriors who died for this tragedy." "Goodluk America u just voted for economic & spiritual suicide. Soulless fools." "What subhuman varmint believes others must pay for their obesity booze cellphones birthcontrol abortions & lives." Sheesh.

You a liberal and a lawyer. Surely you can lie about the damn bunny and con her.
Random girl is perfect.
Teddy N is right. Just because the decent of this country is occurring in slow progression doesn't make it any less dramatic.
You don't see it because you are like all the other 'gimme what i want' people. YOU LIVE IN THE GOTTA HAVE IT RIGHT NOW BUBBLE.
Heard a million times on the news yesterday: "Fiscal cliff."
And when that happens, who will you blame it on? W?
Get real dude.

You libtards should take from your own damn wallet and help them then. My damn money is going for other govment programs. Listen to yourself. NO one should have to live in those condition's? You sound like you want someone else to do something about it, JUST NOT YOU!
Hey NY and NJ, maybe the God you don't believe in is trying to get your attention.
The truth is that Rush & Hannity absolutely love that Obama won. In their constant state of angry, it's so much easier to just blame the President for everything. If Romney had won, they would have been stuck with blaming the Senate Democrats for legislative decisions and stuck supporting whatever Romney did otherwise, whether they liked it or not. That's not nearly as entertaining for their sheep.

Actually, no one has to live in those conditions. They choose to.
The story on the trailer park I have always lived in a mobile home not always in a park and have always hated the expression trailer trash, it is the same with people and houses some take care of their places, some don't, people can be clean no matter where they are, then we have land-lords that don't care just want their money. I hope the little girl in this story comes thru okay.
8:36 you do understand that the Fiscal Cliff was created by the Congress b/c the R's & D's couldn't agree on things, right?
While W isn't to "blame", Obama really isn't to "blame" either. The Fiscal Cliff is a classic, "we can't agree what to do, so we're putting off our decision for a while, hoping that we have a better chance to get what we want when we have to decide."
Both the R's & D's allowed this situation. Since we still have a Senate/House split, we're likely to either get compromise or another delay.
I have become totally disgusted with the media post election as they now look to inflame we the people on some new issue to bring in advertisement revenue. For God’s sake Mark Davis was talking about who the republican nominee will be in 2016 even this morning. The conservative talking heads like to lament the “main stream media” as if they are not part of the same system owned by the same corporations. The media leaders are marketing geniuses. They decide what shows will take a liberal and conservative stance and then they polarize the people in the name of advertising profits while real debate is muted. I got rid of my TV 2 years ago. I'm ripping the radio out of the dash of my truck next.
8:38 you are spot on! People choose to live this way, you can give them anything & they will still choose to live like that. It's called "I don't give a crap living!" BG, you really should consider taking the family over & spending Thanksgiving w/ them. Back up your liberal views of how everybody should get the same thing as those who actually work for theirs. Start by you sharing yours w/ them first.
Awwwww. How sweet. Repub's couldn't agree on more and more damn bailouts with MY money? GOOD!
Let the damn business fail. Better yet, go back to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac... that was ALL contrived by the Democrats to benefit themselves and it screwed up this country.
I am F'ing glad there are those that don't compromise with more FAILED POLICIES.

Regarding the trailer park post, BG you are right that no one should have to live like that. This is America. Last I checked free will has not been criminalized yet. All the trailer park people have to do is quit making the poor choices that landed them there in the first place and move out.
If Jerry & Jimmy could have kept their egos in check, the Cowboys could have had at least two more, maybe three Super Bowl trips. Really believe that. Proves that part of Proverbs that pride goeth before a fall.
My Other Brother Darryl
My ex-wife used to live in that trailer park. Shortly after she left me for a meth head loser, she ended up living there with him and some other meth heads. That place is a dump for sure. I've been there and seen it with my own eyes. I always wondered how horrible living with me must have been to make living in that hell hole with those people better. Then I realized it was all about the drugs and never had anything to do with me.
Old angry white guys? Have you seen Harry Reid? Now that's an old angry white guy.
So sad about the little girl at the trailer park. These kind of people are the ones who seem to be born and bred to fail. They don't have to live like that. There are ways to live better, they just don't know how and don't know how to find the help they need. The property manager's hands are tied because the owner probably won't agree to pay for the repairs needed. There should be laws in place to shut these slum lords down. I hope the right people see this report and go in to get them out of there. It is a dangerous situation. Get the kids out! And, some of you sit back and brag about your money. These people are ignorant from the day they were born. They need compassion and education to stop the cycle. It has and can be done.
9:17 If what you say is true, I am not surprised your ex would choose drugs over you cause that is what drugs do to you. Authorities should investigate if drugs are there, if so then they could definately shut it down. Also the kids could be taken out by the state. Somebody better do SOMETHING! Damn this makes me mad.
Poor Ted needs to stick to kick ass rock and not politics. The free phones were started under Republican admins. I'm beginning to think the guy works for Bridgeport Tank Trucks instead of being a musician, and has been told his job will end if any Dem gets elected. For a guy from Michigan, you'd think he would be more mad about the good blue collar jobs that were outsourced in his state.

That would be the highway Romney is on right now, right?

There are a lot of trailers outside rhome with school buses in the driveways. It's called bywell estates. The townies call it byHell estates.

2) Stop having kids.
3) Doesn't look like they're all that bad off- they obviously haven't missed too many meals.

Ted Nugent is right. You are too far up Obammy's butt to see what's happening to this country. I too cry for those who paid the ultimate price for nothing. We are no longer a powerhouse country. My heart hurts for everyone who voted him in office. No morals, no standards, no pride, just gimme, gimme, gimme while I sit on my butt and don't help myself. So sad for our country.
Nice to see that the Republicans here are sticking to the same lies and propaganda that lost them the election. Talk about can't change!

"Then I realized it was all about the drugs and never had anything to do with me."

"These people are ignorant from the day they were born."
Then they damned sure couldn't distinguish between the Taj Majal, or a trailer park. You are an idiot. They want to live this way, it's much easier than working.

I didn't listen to Hannity, but I listened to Rush for a bit and he didn't sound "happy." his message was that the Repubs need to get back to true conservativism.

Out of context from 8:35 "the decent of this country is occurring in slow progression". Does that mean decent people are slow?

Something had to fill the media vacuum caused by that pesky campaign-ending election. I barely watch or listen to any news/commentary programs, and I'm already sick of the "fiscal cliff" term. I'm sure it's a real thing, and needs attention, but why do we have to hear about it (and the cutesy term they coined for it) non-stop?
I think you're thinking of "a Deputy Fife way of life". See, ol' Barn was nosy, suspicious, distrustful. Andy generally left people alone unless they were breaking the law. Even if he disagreed with a particular law, he enforced it.
And some folks still attempt the "Andy Taylor way of life" (see: most of middle America - you know, that big swatch of red states). Small town rural America, as a rule, needs fewer rules.
Didn't JesusSanta found this great republic with nothing more than a land grant from the king in one hand, a pair of stone tablets containing the Ten Commandments in the other, and a Teddy Roosevelt "Big Stick" "Don't Tread On Me" flag in yet another hand? With a bald eagle perched on his shoulder?
Those were the only laws we needed until some wiseguy yankee from one of them "New" states (not the Mexican one next door) started wondering "What if the a$$ I'm coveting doesn't belong to my neighbor - it belongs to a guy two blocks over?"
Triple Fake Ed Carter
his message was that the Repubs need to get back to true conservativism.
Yes. Please, Republicans, get back to "true" conservatism. You see, so far you just haven't been conservative enough. That's the problem. Rape babies? That's not the real issue. The real problem is that when women are returned to their true status as property, they won't be able to cry rape at all. They just become your property, because you made them yours. Reproductive rights? What does that even mean? It's not in the text of the constitution, so Jefferson never intended women to have that so-called "right". And what are all these Mexicans doing without a lawnmower or weedeater in their hands, anyway? Let's send them back to where they came from and make English the official language of America. If it was good enough for my grandparents, it's good enough for them.
And let's get rid of spending on social programs, and let the churches handle that like they were doing before the income tax existed.
That's the problem, we're just not conservative enough.

You just summed it up, in a nutshell.

Conservatives will not abandon principles to win elections. The same cannot be said for Democrats. If you would study the history of your party, you would see that. Go look up some of JFK's old speeches on youtube. (You won't)You'd think he was a conservative compared to his party today!The truth is that liberals voted for themselves. Not morals, ethics, or the good of the nation. They voted for themselves and what the government (us) can do for them. That's it. Democrats, the party of me,not we.
I just think Rush and Hannity just enjoy telling people "See, I told you so."
They will have plenty more opportunities to do so over the next four years.
I've already seen two stories this morning alone about companies having to fire people because Obama won the election.

I don't have to spend my savings on those people..there are organizations..I just donate a litte, along with many others. Nobody chooses the family they are born with..many overcome it but so many do not. If that mother is on disability, you can't bet your fanny she is disabled in some way, physically or mentally because it is not easy to get approved. Go ahead and be smug about your luck of the draw or hard work that got you where you are; but, karma will get you if you continue to have no compassion for them.
do you know what wood look good in today's random girl...?
Fifty-seven million people voted against Barack Obama. That's an awful lot of "angry white guys." Are you proud that there are more "worthless bloodsucking leeches" who vote Democrat? That characterization is just as accurate as yours.
"Fox 4 had a story last night on a dilapidated trailer park in Parker County between Azle and Springtown. It was awful. No one should have to live in those conditions."
I would like an exit poll on the vote from that park!

My take on the election: (1) More taxes, (2) Less doctors, (3) More people on welfare, (4) Less money from the rich to pay for the poor, (5) Stock market dropped 300 points the day after the election -- you didn't even mention it. We are in trouble, America! Get your head out and look around. You drank the kool-aide, and you aren't thinking straight any more!
Wordy, you're full of crap again.
Many of the Romney voters would happily describe themselves as "angry white guys". Many posters on this blog have described themselves as such. Perhaps the racial angle is not the best way to make the distinction, but it's not derogatory or negative.
Conversely, no Obama supporter would characterize themselves as "worthless bloodsucking leeches". That is derogatory and offensive, no matter whether you believe it or not.
When you say, "that characterization is just as accurate as yours" it is false, misleading and offensive.
Stop lying Wordkyle.
borderline sociopaths...
Nope, just disorganized schizophrenia. It's kinda fun to go seroquel free sometimes! It feels so good outside, imma go JACKET OFF!
Today's RTG appears to have been impacted by hurricane Sandy!
Apparently Wordkyle has trouble seeing the graph you posted yesterday pointing out Romney voters were old, predominantly white and male. Not surprising he can't see that.
Not quite half of all voters chose Romney.
Slightly more than half voted for Obama.
There wasn't any mandate handed out, just an extension of the existing gridlock in DC.
The office of president gets the credit for good and bad budgets and defecits. Obama has built the highest defecit ever. And from this election you can bet NOTHING will be done to improve upon it. We can skip over the whole excuse game for him... after 4 years, its Obama's defecit. Period.
PS - I would like to see the exit polling that identifies votes by tax brackets... i.e. how much did you pay and who did you vote for. IMHO that would be incredibly interesting.
...dilapidated trailer park in Parker County between Azle and Springtown. No one should have to live in those conditions....
No one has to. They chose to. Being poor is a choice. Make the right choices and you won't be.
If the disabled or elderly are involved, shame on the family for allowing it.
I would love to go back to the Andy Griffin way of life.
Evidently, the Democrats and Liberals are blind. Must be the Santa Claus disease. Obama would have lost if by popular vote. Mitt Romney rocked the US with red.

1:01 Very funny.
Of course, Hannity, Rush and every common sense conservative is happy after the election.

Of those who voted against Barack Obama, 28.4 million were under the age of 40, 25 million were women, 6+ million were non-white.
Democrats have sold minorities in America a huge bill of goods. Democrats have worked their economic and social plans on American blacks for fifty years, and what's the result? Blacks are as bad off now as they were originally, except Democrats have convinced them that they can't succeed without the help of their Democrat masters. Republicans would love to have more minorities in the party. But as long as minorities view themselves as victims and Democrats as their salvation, Conservative ideas won't appeal to them.
Oh, Mike Honcho, why you so mad?
Interesting that you think Bush's budget deficit should have been cleaned up in just four years, two of which Obama didn't have control of Congress, and most of which pre-dated him and was the result of Bush and the Republican Congress passing TARP.
But hey, you said nobody can reason with you (I think you called it the "excuse game"), so I guess by your own terms you win. It must be nice to be so smart that everything else is an excuse.
You should take a lesson from your buddy TF, and shut your hole unless you have something interesting to say. You're little more than Wordkyle Jr. now.
Rage
About that trailer park: The owner should not be allowed to rent them out in those conditions. Counties including Wise need some rules.
I think what saddens me more than anything else (more than working 500+ hours a week, more than outrageous gas prices, more than outrageous food prices, more than our unprecedented deficits, more than on half of the country calling the other racist, more than our outrageous tax rates which are about to go up, etc.) is that our country is so polarized that the hate spewed by both sides dominates every aspect of life. If we remain divided we will be unable to stand as a country. We are already becoming irrelevant to the rest of the world and it will only get worse. My heart breaks for our past, our present, and our uncertain future. The country I love is being destroyed by hate more than anything and every party is to blame. Not just one. My children's future is bleak at best but no one cares. Their only concern is me, me, me. We have sealed our own future and will reap the seeds we have sown. Ultimately this great experiment in democracy is waning. The destruction unfortunately is by the very liberty it was meant to create.
Pensions are a thing of the past...most companies offer 401k's now. A lot of companies don't pay any share of the health insurance, especially the working poor type jobs.

Most people are too poor to contribute to a 401K
1:33, your are naive. Bell planned to do that a long time ago. Outsourcing was at it's peak under Bush/Cheney, after 9-11 and Pensions have been under attack since then. Bankruptcy by companies such as American, Delta, etc are now considered a viable business option. Bell will follow Lockheed's lead because they can, even when Lockheed was making record profits before a strike.
The Bell helicopter guy must be in management. They always eat their own first.

dear dipwad rage:
not sure why you feel the need to invoke my name every time you bash Honcho, but feel free to start throwing me under the same bus. He and I are very similar in political philosophy. The difference on this blog is that I usually see and comment on the humor in a situation, with a little bit of the aforementioned angry old white guy thrown in. He's more of a frustrated, not-so-old, non-ethnic guy who gets straight to the point. He does most of the heavy lifting in the socio-political commentary department because he's waaay better at it than I am (it just comes thru better in person than on screen).
6:11 pm
If the employee has $30 taken out of every paycheck, that's $720 into the 401K each year. As they make more, they can increase the amount. When I first started working that's what I did. 15 years later I have a substantial 401K fund.
Those "Obama girls" are baby Wookies.
Agree, no one should live in poor conditions. But I don't see a bunch of folks driving over there offering their own homes, or to buy or provide those people with better. Guess that's for "someone else" to do.
