- Now that was some serious wind last night. But I'm surprised I haven't seen more damage than I have (which is basically none.)
- It's the day before the Apocalpyse. Longtime readers will remember the commenter 12/21/12 guy from way back. Three years when he first appeared? Four years? The first few times he showed up we had no idea what he was talking about.
- I was looking at Time's Top Ten fiction books and I'm not sure I had heard of any of them. But one that jumped out at me was Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk.
- Miss USA was crowned Miss Universe last night. But when the pageant is held in America (last night it was in Las Vegas) and Miss USA wins, it seems so rigged.
- The Fourth Grader In The House while watching the swimsuit competition: "This seems weird."
- I got slammed in the comments yesterday for my "thought" that it was always boys who commit school shootings and not boys. Some guy said I was attacking men who raise their sons to be responsible hunters. Buddy, you think way more about my thoughts than I do.
- Our Elf On The Shelf was in our decorative bowl on the formal dining room table this morning. The contents of that bowl had been strewn around the floor. Creepy.
- I like Bud Kennedy but I think he was partially wrong yesterday in his column (asserting Texas teachers can already carry guns in schools). In his defense, Texas guns laws are far more complicated than one would think. (A teacher without a CHL could not carry a handgun into a school even if the school authorized it. But that authorization allowing her to carry a firearm would allow her to carry a rifle or shotgun.)
- Seventy-four new troopers graduated in Austin yesterday. One was a former Bridgeport Police Officer.
- Fox and Friends brought in Santa Claus this morning to discuss the "war on Christmas." With his concept of the free distribution of wealth, I wouldn't have thought he was a Republican.

You should not question me....
Double Fake Bud Kennedy
I think you're overlooking the basic philosophy of Santa. He gives gifts based on a good/bad scale. He doesn't take gifts from rich folks and give them to the needy.
We don't know the source of his income stream, but it probably involves Mrs. Claus's special brownies that are sprinkled with magic dust
Triple Fake Cheech & Chong
The "War on Christmas" is such crap. You can't go into the mall after Halloween and avoid being besieged by Christmas junk. It's overwhelming.
Show me the place in this country where I can go and not be overwhelmed by Christmas red & green, Christmas lights, Christmas decorations, Christmas sales, etc. I even have to endure Santa praying to a baby in a cradle.
Which other religion gets national, state, county, city and school holidays?
Trumped up silliness.
8:49 you're an idiot...
Being a retired teacher, it is a scary, almost comical, thought of me (and un-named cohorts)carrying a gun to the classroom to protect our kids. I would be more effective protecting them in countless other ways. And I WOULD protect them.
-Susanne Parker
The legs on your girly pic today look like balloons.
Those are really huge thighs on today's rtg!
Just googled breeder's hips and saw the same picture of the RTG
The thought of my wife carrying a gun in the classroom seriously scares me...and it scares her. But we both agree that her former Marine principal, and several former military assistant principals, would be excellent candidates for carrying a gun in school...
When confronted with an assault weapon and you are unarmed, you cannot protect the kids..all you can do is go for the gun and die..that didn't help the kids in CT. Can't stand the thought of them so scared and knowing they were going to die!!!!!!!!!!
Some body asked what was my point about Walmart selling assault weapons..they should be ashamed to contribute to the carnage by selling guns that have no useful purpose in this country, but for the recreation of people who need to find another hobby.
9:05 I agree with you 100%! August 24, 2012 NYPD who are highly trained in using their weapons, accidentally shot 9 innocent by-standers.
http://news.yahoo.com/nypd-empire-state-victims-hit-police-gunfire-180844387.html
If the police accidentally shoot innocent by-standers I don't want teachers or principals to be returning fire.
Lots of meat on those legs!!! Good eating!!!!
"Buddy, you think way more about my thoughts than I do."
Ok, maybe I jumped the argument up a level by my statements yesterday. I just thought it was weird for you to point out what everybody already knows--can't blame me if I thought you had a motive for stating it in the way you did. I guess you were just looking for a reaction and got it.
I'll admit that I projected your views from what I have been seeing on TV, hearing in the media and from other blogs. It just feels like the anti-gun attacks are completely misplaced following this tragedy. They are attacking everything gun or gun related, including guys like myself who feel it is fine to bring children up around guns in a responisble manner.
I know what I am doing is 100% in the right, and it is sad to see the political commentary in this country right now. Hell, I have always been moderate, even leaning to the left socially, but I am being forced hard right by all of this. The level of ignorance by the libs on this issue is astounding!!!
9:18, For the millionth time, and AR-15 is a semi-auto rifle, not an assualt rifle. A ruger 10/22 could do as much damage.
Heck they are even picking on the old west gun fight in the Stock yards now.. It is going to make kids want to go shoot people.. If that is the case then we should ban TV...
You're right--I assumed the teacher or volunteer would have a CHL.
But note that the carry-on-campus law extends to anyone -- volunteers, parents -- not just teachers.
How could anyone have read your comment about boys being the shooters and made anymore out of it than what it was: an observation? Some people are so hell bent on putting other people in their place that they'll abandon even the slightest hint of reason and logic.
Hell, I have always been moderate, even leaning to the left socially, but I am being forced hard right by all of this. The level of ignorance by the libs on this issue is astounding!!!
You know how I can tell you're a liar?
Tomorrow you will know exactly what we've been talking about for four years.
It's been a helluva ride,
The 12/21/12 Alliance
"Thweatt's "Guardian Plan" marked the first time any school in the country permitted select teachers and staff to carry concealed weapons. Those participating in the program must hold concealed-carry licenses and are approved by the school board to carry on campus."
Thweatt is the superintendent at Harrold ISD
We might dodge 12-21 but I checked my calendars and they all end on 12-31. Come to think of it, they did last year also. But this might be your last day so do something good. Just don't help someone who is down because it was their choice to work for a company that outsourced or to get sick or something.
Good Grief!
somebody needs to rewatch their Charlie Brown Christmas special. The "War on Christmas" has very little to do with decorations.
The war is between consumerism/secularism/atheism and the real reason for the holiday.
In an effort to garner more sales, companies try to push aside that whole baby-Jesus-in-the-manger scene in favor of the more generic Santa Claus (who started out as a Christian saint!)
Schools and government entities replace Christmas with Winter Holiday.
Businesses train their employees to greet customers with "Happy Holidays". If I went into a place of business and somebody there said "Happy Hannukah" to me, I wouldn't be offended!
Oh, by the way -
Merry Christmas to Barry & all the blog fans out there
I wish I was making sweat love to the RTG just as an Aatoroid hit me in the bohiney on the upstroke.
Umm can somebody tell me what highways are good to get stopped on for a Prostate check um-kay?
I be liking those thighs!
On December 22 2012 I will not post anymore because of issues beyond my control on December 21 2012.
Here's the video in case you missed it last night. Texas School's 'Guardian Plan' Allows Teachers To Have Guns:

Weaklings, all of us that have weapons and ammo will just come and take your stuff. You disgust me Green. And Thank God you don't have a Step Son, they would be ashamed of you.
The pic of today's RTG is almost 7 years old. Ya'll may want to tap the breaks until you get a more recent photo.
Yeah Green,ever body's ashamed of you.Good thing tomorrow is December 21 2012 for your sake.
10:53 I'd tap her til it breaks.
RTG: Either that bikini bottom is freakishly small or those thighs are freakishly HUGE!! NO THANKS!
10:51
Where's my naughty list.....?
Double Fake Santa Claus
Not knocking spelling mistakes but " Ya'll may want to tap the breaks" when talking about a RTG, now that's funny.
brakes....even.
10:53 it's ahhh Tap The BRAKES
Tap the breaks?
Dumbass.
9:48 Kind of like that war on women and other sensitive bull the lefties come up with when their evil hearts get hurt.
Yeah, I said it. Lefties are evil.
I'd like to suck on her toes until her thighs deflated.
10:07, You call me a liar so explain yourself....where are my lies?
9:48...Because why state the obvious like that if there is not a motive?
OK USA today said the Eagle grabbing the kid was fake...

Mrs. Parker, I'm sure you would definitely protect your students just like the principal and other teachers who are now dead in Newtown protected theirs. Problem is that once your "protection" is out of the gunman's way, he will move to the now unprotected children.
Protection is not what this world is wanting. Stoppage is!
Merry Christmas double L. Trust me, that billy Lynn book is well worth it. I don't normally read fiction but you and anyone else here would probably enjoy it. Good stuff
Kennedy hates Rhome, guns, and anything fat free.
11:17
It's a PUN/Malapropism...."tap it til it breaks", as in he will break her in half.....
Double Fake Mrs. Malaprop
Remain calm, some of what you're seeing in the RTG pic is because it was taken with a wide angle lens.
Weaklings, all of us that have weapons and ammo will just come and take your stuff.
10:51 AM
Uh, just when are you "coming to take my stuff"? Most people go to Walmart and buy stuff instead of stealing it from their neighbors.
"Seventy-four new troopers graduated in Austin yesterday. One was a former Bridgeport Police Officer."
One of which is coming to post near you.
Helluva cop.
And, the thighs on this RTG make me feel funny, in my pants.
