- I use Google 99% of the time, but I can't remember the last time I began a search from Google's home page.
- A new Texas Supreme Court judge, appointed by Rick Perry, says “The governor didn’t send me up here to accomplish a particular political agenda.” If he believes that statement he is shockingly naive.
- Oh, one more of his quotes on the cost of litigation: “I couldn’t afford myself as a lawyer.” And who bears the responsibility for that?
- From the Update: "The Chico School Board did not take any action on the contract of middle school principal Maury Martin." That's pretty much the same thing as voting not to renew the contract, right?
- I think the Highland Park High School terror scare is just a prank. But one thing bugs me: High school kids can't keep their mouth shut so it's stunning the perpetrator(s) haven't been caught yet. So could it be one disturbed kid?
- I guessing the South doesn't care much about the "there will be a new Pope" news.
- "FORT WORTH -- A motorist who suffered serious injuries in a single-car wreck Tuesday night had derogatory words written on his body." Get drunk in a room full of buddies armed with Sharpies?
- Mrs. LL went all day yesterday just drinking "homemade" vegetable drinks. She wants to go for 10 straight days.
- Ranger Elvis Andrus new tattoo: Oh, my. (Facebook.)
- You guys are right. I did misuse the word "propensity" yesterday.
- The Mavs blew a 25 point lead last night (or so I've heard.) You're about to see a decade of bad basketball.
- Van Cliburn once played before a NASCAR event at the Texas Motor Speedway, right? What an odd match.

I was introduced to Van Cliburn on the old David Lettermen Show on NBC in the 80s. Lettermen said he saw a commercial for one of Van Cliburn's albums during a cable show called "Fishing With Orlando."
Lettermen immediately had Van Cliburn booked on his show........otherwise, I never would have heard of the man.
The Jackal
Interpretation of the constitution without political persuasion doesn't exist for a liberal. Therefore the idea that Perry would appoint a judge based on his ability to do just that, doesn't make sense.
The Jackal, I remember seeing that show when Letterman introduced you to Van Cliburn. It is true that television adds 10 pounds to a person. Have you lost it yet?
"Mrs. LL went all day yesterday just drinking "homemade" vegetable drinks. She wants to go for 10 straight days"
I've done this, one word that I would emphasize to her would be, "fiber". If not it goes out the other end pretty much the same way it came in! She may want to take an iron supplement since she is, well a she. Also, B12, omega-3's and vitaman D are a must. If not you will get quickly depleted and feel like shiate! I did a second round this year in January and felt much better with the supplements added.
Jackal, Apparently you never watch the news, or ar not in the DFW media viewing area.
Cliburn also played THE opening day of The Ballpark in Arlington in 1994. The video is on the Texas Ranger website--you should post it. Quite moving!
I'm guessing the liberal media does care about the "there will be a new pope" news, because they are slamming the Catholic church as a cult of pedophiles.
“I couldn’t afford myself as a lawyer.”
Oxymoronic much?
"homemade" vegetable drinks?
(slapping forehead) She could have had a V-8!

Not bad BG something for everyone.

When you say "vegetable" drinks, do you mean fruits and vegetables? Juice is so much better with apples included.
homemade" vegetable drinks
Just add vodka, tabasco, Lee & Perrins, pepper, lime wedge and celery stalk.
We call it "The Dove Hunt Eye Opener"
You are welcome
The diet and resulting digestive tract distress will dump electrolytes out of Mrs. LL's body. This is not good and could result in anything from nocturnal feet or leg cramps to a heart attack. And please do not rely on Gatoraid. It is useless as a substitute for foods containing minerals. A bowl of raisen bran is probably the best source. Read a Gatoraid lable and one from a box of Post raisen bran.
Blended vegetables provide everything except B12. Just throw in a few bugs. That is as close to being a vegan(without man-made chemical supplements)anyone can truly get.
I think not taking action to renew a contract would create a problem for Chico ISD and possible law suit from the Middle school principle. The principle needs an up or down vote in order to find new employment. Not doing so would cause the person damages. Not involved in this but this seems fair.
I lived in Decatur for a year five years ago. I have since left the state and live probably 800 miles away now.....and I don't recall seeing anything about Van Cliburn during my stay in Texas.
The Jackal
Jackal, during the Van Cliburn competiton every year all the local DFW media outlets do at least a few segments on it. It is always in the newspapers and I know our household was marketed each year for tickets to the event competitions. I'm not busting your chops, but my recollection was that it was widely publicized.
I think The Jackal is not a very classy guy...and not a local or he would know of Van Cliburn.
RTG: WOW! Full house! Left, center and right are the aces, 2 and 4 are the 8's. Nice pic, thanks BG
11:27...just so you know. Anyone employed by a school district can look for other employment with or without a contract. You just apply, interview and when you find something else, you just resign (if you have been offered a contract) or (if you weren't given a contract) just move on down the road. I know nothing about what is happening in Chico, but I do work for a school. If what is happening there happened to me, I would have already been applying. Since being a principal means you aren't new to the school business (and you know the politics, etc.), I betcha he's been applying for new jobs long before now!

If you study all of Rick Perry's actions, he is much more intrested in pandering to the far right than in anything else.
So yes, it would be reasonable to assume that he selected a judge with and agenda in mind rather than pick the best qualifed neutral person for the position.
For those ignorant about juicing:

Are you saying Nascar fans can't appreciate great talent? You are passing judgement on a very large group of people you obviously do not know much about. I thought you were against things like that.
12:38 - Thanks! You completely and thoroughly proved my point!
Propensity connotes a proclivity to do a certain thing as in, Blacks have a propensity for thievery, welfare and drinking malt liquor.
Bacon-are you sure about #3? She has the trashy tattoo, fake boob ridges, and trashy belly ring, all the things you supposedly love...
On December 21 somethin', blah blah, yada yada yah...
Van Cliburn is a joke.
DF Jerry Lee Lewis
The principal has one more year remaining on his contract. He may outlive the Supt. He may find greener pastures.
Of course the joke is that he led his teachers and students to be success. Probably rubbed a few diehards in the process.
There is pending grievances that are going to be heard by the Chico school board next week and it will clear up a lot of the mess in Chico! MS principal is being wronged by a few select people within the district.
2:56 - and YOU are a stupid idiot.
What have YOU contributed to America to make it better?
Obviously your ignorance IS bliss.
5:15, I'll have you know that I have contributed to America. My wife and I invented speed bumps. Unfortunately she died of a heart attack a few years ago. The paramedics said that she would have lived if they could have gotten her to the hospital sooner, but they had to slow down because of the speed bumps.
Van Cliburn played the National Anthem at the first Texas Motor Speedway NASCAR race. Not sure who was more impressive, Cliburn or the Huey pilot that flew him in. Those rotor blades were no more than 2 feet off the pavement when he tore out of there.
Why would anyone consider Van Cliburn a joke? That makes no sense.
Uh, 7:50, Jerry Lee Lewis was a famous piano player. Duh. Oh yeah. You don't understand sarcasm.
7:50 - the person that made that comment is likely illerate and a true country hick.
What a jerk!
Chico Board is attempting to copy the Decatur model. If something works......break it!
Hopefully folks in Chico will step up and improve their board like we are doing in Decatur!
Amen 6:39 - The Chico School board needs to open their ears and listen to what the teachers, parents and community is saying. As for Mr. Superintendent - What is his agenda? He has no idea of small town America, we live here because of the closeness, teachers work at these schools their whole careers, due to small town values. The Middle School principal, as I understand has done an outstanding job, it is an exemplery campus - so why would a Superintendent want to oust that type of Principal? Oh, because Mr. Superintendent, has "a little power" and can destroy a family by not renewing a contract. Stand up Chico - Have a voice - Use your voice - DO NOT be a sideliner or bystander - Pray for this Superintendent that has a hardened heart!!!!
