Replacing repeat
- All the news organizations were all over the female trooper search story last night. I've seen crazier things happen during traffic stops over the last 25 years.
- I said I didn't think that lawsuit was going anywhere for this reason: Once the officer claims to smell the odor of marijuana he can search anywhere that the marijuana could reasonably be found. And it doesn't matter if he believes there is a misdemeanor or felony amount present. And, most importantly, it doesn't matter that he turns out to be wrong.
- You think the police don't have ridiculous power? Remember the Supreme Court case where they sanctioned the arrest of a Texas woman for the minor offense of not wearing a seatbelt?
- And remember the Supreme Court case which sanctions the strip searching of anyone arrested regardless of how minor the offense? Yep, he could have arrested both women for littering and they legally could have been
stripedstrip searched at the jail. - A lawyer on Fox 4 last night said it will be "up to the jury" to determine if the search was reasonable. I doubt a judge will ever let it get that far.
- How has police power come to this? Because you have elected "law and order" judges in Texas, and Presidents who haven't formed a Supreme Court that has valued civil rights since the 1960s. To use a quote that the Hard Right is familiar with: "America's chickens are coming home to roost."
- Changing gears, I never dreamed that Cheaper Than Dirt would suspend online gun sales.
- None of these school shootings are committed by little girls. Always boys.
- Our "elf on the shelf" was sitting on the kitchen counter this morning in front of what appeared to an elf made snow
angleangel made inflowerflour. [Edit: One of my greatest sentences apparently.] - It's too long to post here, but I got an email from a lady yesterday who was upset with the law enforcement response she got in Wise County when she reported a dead and malnourished horse.
- A Football Life on the NFL Channel is really good. Tonight they are doing an hour on The Immaculate Reception.
- Few people remember that that playoff game occurred on a Saturday and was preceded by a famous Cowboys win over the 49ers where the Cowboys scored 17 points under Staubach in the fourth quarter to win 30-28. As a kid I remember my family picking my grandparents up for a Christmas dinner and my grandfather saying, "I think I just watched two of the most exciting games ever today." I had no idea what he was talking about.
- President Obama was named as Time's Man Of The Year this morning. Yeah, I know. That ol' liberal media.
- The Decatur home invasion guy will be charged with "burglary of a habitation with the intent to commit a sexual offense." Unless there is more to the story, that's a reach.
- Mark Cuban passed a kidney stone last night and tweeted about it. Good grief.
- Went to a high school band concert last night and noticed a uniformed officer standing by me in the back of the auditorium. I quickly learned he wasn't there for security but only to see his daughter perform.
- Judge Robert Bork passed away this morning. (For those that don't remember, he was the first Supreme Court nominee to go through a confirmation process that looked like an MMA fight. He didn't get confirmed.)

Your pic is a repeat Barry.
The Jackal
flower? flour.
And how do you do dead AND malnourished.
I think Steelers Raiders was first game that day.
President Obama was named as Time's Man Of The Year this morning.
And Time magazine is worth about what your blog is. Nothing.
Hey guys can't we get a more flattering photo of Barry's little pal, Adam Lanza?
Can we get another RTG? This is repeat from earlier this year (and not too long ago, either).
Good grief ... of all the Charlie Browns in the world, you're the Charlie Browniest.
RTG=Repost
To use a quote that the Hard Right is familiar with: "America's chickens are coming home to roost."
Some girl getting a body cavity search boils down to the statement above? Seems like a minor intrusion on her life if you ask me. That statement is equivalent to the folks freaking out about having their guns taken away. Overreaction much!

Not a great group of girls but ok.
I think lawyers not police have rediculous power. Heck, one those rats is running the country. Also who makes the laws that the police enforce. Doody-head.
Did you replace the repeat because it pointed out how bad your RTG choices have become?
None of these school shootings are committed by little girls. Always boys.
Is this really a necessary comment? What are you suggesting, that our culture of guns and hunting is causing these tragedies? Or is it that you feel raising boys and girls differently based along lines of perceived sexual tendencies is a bad thing. Are you suggesting we feed little boys estrogen and raise them in a gender neutral enviroment to prevent these mass shootings? Just tell us what the purpose of this statement is?
Why don't you point out the fact that almost all of these shootings occur in Urban areas where the fathers were rarely involved in the childs life. That seems like an important piece of the puzzle to me, not simple gender identity bashing. Yeah, we know, little boys like guns, litte girls like dolls....I know you libs want to change that but your missing the point. It is about having 2 (not only having mom) responsible parents in the house and involved in the childs life.
I am fine with gun debate, and increased controls, just do not attack my way of life in the process....that is where I get mean. I raise my boys to be boys, with confidence and security, this way they have a true identity, not one forced onto them by some psychologist or meddling single mom.
angle or angel??
The first RTG was worth the repeat. And a well-known amateur pron star. Well done, sir.
If I remember right, the Online Cheaper than Dirt is not the same as the one in Fort Worth. Owned by different people. My problem with these stores suspending sales, is that today the gun is worth $1000 bucks, but in a month when they start selling again they will be able to get $1800 for them...
Mark Cuban passed a kidney stone last night...
Funny, I passed a Mark Cuban last night!!!

Law enforcement: It has never been more evident that it is us against them...
I think you're a good guy BG, really, I do. Political differences aside, at the end of the day, you're a good guy. Having said that, you and I both know that police simply enforce the laws passed by legislators. Most legislators are lawyers. Perhaps not most, but I would venture a guess that it's the most common profession involved in politics. That being said, nothing will change until the good among you (that means you, counsel) start speaking up about the bastardization of our constitution being committed by the worst of your ilk. Satan has a special place in hell reserved for the lawyers and politicians I speak of. If you ever run for state office BG, give me a call. I'd be happy to contribute.
9:19, you are free to have an opinion, but I think you're throwing BG under the bus unnecessarily in this instance. It's part of the process of determining 1) Who is doing it? 2) What is causing them to do it? and 3) How do we stop it?
Pointing out that boys are almost always the offender in this type of tragedy is not an endorsement of everything you perceive as negative. Certainly, it can't be construed in in way as an attempt to "attack my way of life". Please.
Research supports your two-parent position. Research supports making sure boys have confidence and security. But, research also indicates that violence in many forms (even in video games) is linked with violence in other areas.
Personally, I would draw a distinction between education, hunting, gun safety and shooting/killing b/c we like to see things explode. But I'm not familiar with research that supports me there.
If we are going to solve this problem, we are going to have to be willing to consider change as part of the solution.
Step 1 = It's usually boys.
The Gun Ban will only jack up the price.
8:41
Two horses.
"None of these school shootings are committed by little girls. Always boys."
Girls just use bomb threats. See DHS, December 2012.
"The first RTG was worth the repeat. And a well-known amateur pron star. Well done, sir."
pron....really?
Damn Bu, whatever was effecting you're typing this mourning must bee contiguous.
For you folks supporting gun restrictions/gun bans, you may want to think back to the days of prohibition, and how that all worked out for us here in the good ol' US of A.
striped searched?
FYI

10:39, I threw him under the bus because he deserved it. Seriously, did you think mass shootings were being carried out by girls? Did you need BG to tell you it was all young men? You have to read a little deeper there pal, and understand BG's underlying meaning for posting that.
If you needed demographics on those committing these crimes you are completely out of touch. It was an attack on folks who raise their children around guns. Millions upon millions of us have done so without having our children result to gun violence. It is the kids from broken homes in urban areas, that never used guns for hunting, that are doing these shootings.
I agree with your points on violence in movies/video games. However, your attempt to paint me as some sort of gun totin' lunatic that just likes to "see things explode" is nonsense. That is perputuated by the liberal media and if you truly spent ten minutes with someone like me you would see that is not the case.
What "change" do you propose? Yes, it is usually the boys because that is a cultural norm...but it is a slippery slope to blame that all on my way of life, which involves guns for hunting and basic protection. Proceed with gun control, but do not attack folks like myself, who are not the problem. The media, and now BG of course, wont let that happen. If you truly want to solve the problem quit painting rural gun owners who hunt as backwoods cretins. You are backing us into a corner, where we will bunker down politically on this issue if forced. Treat us reasonably, and give a little and you get the tighter controls you seek.
11:25
Yeah....checking for skid marks.
And now Chinese media has come
out demanding tighter gun control
in the US. How many did Mao kill
while reforming China, 55,000,000
more or less. How many babies aborted since
Roe vs Wade, 55,000,000 more are less. When
liberals are for more restrictive
abortion laws, i'll be for more
restrictive gun laws. And when they get
around to overturning the 22nd amendment, i'll
trade you for the 13th.
12:35;
And millions of Jews were killed by the right wing fascist but none of those facts makes school shootings any less horrible.
I'm not smart enough to understand you statements about the 13th and 22nd amendments. How does presidential term limits relate to slavery?
12:35, The 18th amendment is the one we need to ban.
1:04....In any instance of extreme ethnic/political cleansing, historically you had a disarmed group wiped out by a more powerful ruling force, my guess is that is what 12:35's point was. I am sure he/she thanks you for your added bullet point to his argument.
11:48
I am going to play the "you started it" card.
Whenever guns come up, there is a great shout about gun owners being safe, honest, patriotic, salt of the earth citizens, and that any restriction on guns is an attack on their way of life.
The fact is that SOME gun owners fit that profile, but MOST do not. The only way to solve a problem is to acurately define it in the first place, and big chested rhetoric (from either side) does not help.
.
Your basic European Jew was wiped
out by the National Socialist
German Worker's Party. Nice try
at diverting, thanks for playing.
18th overturned by the 21st.
Have another drink.
The communist were on the left, the Nazi(National Socialist
German Worker's Party) on the right. Before you start talking liberal/conservative, fascist/communist, you really should consult a dictionary.
"It's too long to post here, but I got an email from a lady yesterday who was upset with the law enforcement response she got in Wise County when she reported a dead and malnourished horse."
Wow! You get an email from a potential client who is upset and you thought about posting the email for everyone to see? Do you not respect that persons privacy and confidentiality?
I think everyone should be thinking twice before emailing you now!
Go far enough, either on the left or the right, and they look just alike.
1:47 "The fact is that SOME gun owners fit that profile, but MOST do not."
From what source(s) did you develop that conclusion?
No holder of a CHL in America (multiple millions, and growing at a fantastic rate) has ever been convicted of a gun crime, etc., etc., etc.
1:47, That all depends on what circles you run in. Every single gun owner that I know fits with the "salt of the earth" characterizion. I know there are plenty of bad ones out there I just personally don't know them or want them to have guns. They probably illegally own their guns anyway. Felons, I don't run with them.
Citation needed on your last paragraph.
Really where did I say everyone should have a gun, I want gun control because that protects my rights in the long run. I just don't think you understand what an assualt weapon truly is, and AR-15 is not an assualt weapon unless it is converted to fully auto. My idea of gun control is to keep them out of the hands of people who are criminals, mentally-ill, or don't have the ability to keep them out of the wrong hands.
Anon 3:22 You actually think that Communist and Socialist are on opposite ends of the spectrum?
come on BG, you know if you passed a kidney stone you would blog about it.
jus sayin...
Barry Green...do you or do you not have a license to practice law in Delaware?
Well....do you? Yes or no.
Double Fake Sam Donaldson
Sorry 5:34, need to expand. The Nazi party had socialist in their name but they were fascist. Definitely not communist.
