- The AP is reporting that the U.S. Postal Service will announce later today that Saturday mail delivery will end. The Messenger concerned about this?
- It's National Signing Day. Any Wise County kid signing with a smaller college? And has any kid ever signed with a bigger school than TCU?
- Interesting case going on at the courthouse. The kid involved in the multi-death crash a couple of years ago has pled guilty to Criminally Negligent Homicide and is going to the jury for punishment. The range is 180 days to two years but the jury could grant probation. The families of the victims have been very vocal during the case's pendency.
- The new Klyde Warren Park in Dallas (over Woodall Rogers freeway) will get a synthetic ice skating rink this fall. I have never heard of that.
- The preacher calling out the guy in church video I posted yesterday reminded me of the time I was sitting down front as a teenager with one of my buddies and we were yucking it up. In the middle of the sermon my dad got up, walked down to the pew behind me, and motioned me to get up and come sit beside him.
- The kinkajou story made not only Fox 4, but Channel 5, and the blogs of D Magazine and the Dallas Observer.
- I watched a PBS show the other day on the Texas Board of Education, its powers over the content of text books, and some of the nuts who are on it.
- Thirty school superintendents in Texas made over $250,000 last year.
- I've completed the four week Nike program on the Xbox (28 sessions.) It now will put me through another test and design another four week program. Really cool.
- Ron Paul sure is catching a lot of heat for his "die by the sword" tweet about the American Sniper, Chris Kyle. By the way, Kyle's memorial service will be held at Cowboys Stadium on Monday.
- Drive 287 into Fort Worth and you can see that the housing boom is on again.
- The President's office released a photo of him firing a gun last weekend which immediately backfired as it was photoshopped beyond belief.

We need to throw more money at education to help the little skulls full of mush be smarter. It's the liberal weenie way.
Yeah, there might be a housing boom in Wise County and a select few other areas in the country that are doing well. With the mass exodus tanking place in areas like California, you'd think differently. A couple of friends of mine that live in Midland decided to build their house before they get married as land values are only going up out there, and the price of diamonds is staying relatively normal. Crazy times indeed!! Lets just hope these folks building the homes learned from the last bust and didn't take out loans they had no business involving themselves in.
And BC handled you in the right way as a teen in church. Today, the parents are either: (1) not present to discipline, or (2) scared to hurt their feelings. SHEESH!
You kind of switched fonts on us there in the middle...
I can not wait until Monday for all the junk mail that I would have received on Saturday! This is a travesty.
What the libs do not get about the Obama gun photo is how silly it was. Do they think we really need to know whether the president enjoys shooting sports. It isn't relevant to the gun debate and Obama himself should have known that. I would have had more respect for him if he just said that he rarely fired guns and that fact doesn't change the debate on guns. I would rather have defiant Obama than pandering Obama.
I'm only seventeen (seventeen)
I'll show you love like you've never seen
She's only seventeen (seventeen)
Daddy says she's too young
But she's old enough for me
It's a shame that kinkajou traveled half way around the world just to catch distemper at the Wise County Animal Shelter.
The SBOE is far too prone to politics.
I'm with Ron Paul to an extent. I'm all for peace, and you Bible bangers out there do know that if you live by the sword...
Unfortunately, flag-waving gets in the way of true religion.
I can't believe the USPS hasn't taken this step years ago. I'd be fine if it reduced deliveries to three days a week, as well. Businesses need mail, but they rely more heavily on faxes now anyway.
I think they should charge for the distance an envelope travels. It's pretty neat that you can send a letter to Alaska for under a dollar, but that single rate is killing them.
Then again, like many services, the USPS shouldn't be about profit. It should recover as much of its expenses as it can, but it's a pretty necessary deal. But like most necessary things, you don't need it every day.
9:15, very good point. However, I honestly believe that due to our president's narcissism, he felt that his constituents are so dumb that they would accept it. On second thought, I shouldn't say that. He's too busy doing other things, like justifying the murder of US citizens without trial or a court, to be bothered with petty matters such as the aforementioned picture. It was probably someone whom he's met once that okayed it's release.
Thirty school superintendents in Texas made over $250,000 last year.
I feel that salary is excessive. It pisses me off. Those districts want to justify their high SI salaries by claiming all the trouble with the schools and teachers and managing them (in my opinion) but they are the ones who created and fostered that crappy atmosphere over the course of the last 20 years or so.
It's like they created for themselves a way to be paid higher.
Those salaries are excessive for the few amount of students that graduate with some form of intelligence.
Why wouldn't the families of those kids that were killed in that awful car wreck be vocal? I would be vocal too!
I did notice we had either Amish or Hutterite folks on the square yesterday around the break for lunch. That doesn't really shock me, however, the fact that two of them were wearing what looked like the old style children's 5 point star "play" badge on the left side of their chest did shock me into almost running into a few parked cars!
What the heck?
Billy Joe Tolliver,Boyd,1984- Texas Tech. Robby Cartwright,Boyd,1994 - Texas Tech. Tech was probably a little better football program than TCU when they signed.
"Businesses need mail, but they rely more heavily on faxes now anyway."
That would be true....in 1996!!!
I'll miss Saturday's mail.
Then there was this guy who's claim to fame was shooting people from ambush in an unnecessary war.
today's hott girl makes me want to go camel ridin..
Judging by the shooting stance, Obama is gonna have one helluva sore shoulder, and face.
You would think that the "Commander in Cheif" would atl least know how to fire a weapon.

RTG: OH! MY! GOD! AWESOME pic BG, thankyouthankyouthankyou! What a sweetie!
Spanish War Donkey, you might want to peek out your window and look for the drone circling above. Wordkyle hasn't posted all day so I am guessing they have already taken him out.
WHAT??? Nothing on the Hospital boondoggle in Bridgeport? Oh well. It's a measley $3.5 million of our money they lost. They will just have to go up on taxes, fees and permits. No one seems to care. Politicians make me want to puke.
This entire gun legislation "debate" is just another attempt at the Loony Leftist Liberals to deny American's control over their own lives. When are people going to learn, you can't legislate against crazy? The only people for whom gun legislation would be a consideration are law abiding gun owners. Guess what, the people who commit gun crimes don't give two shakes of a rat's arse about gun laws or any laws. Last I checked, murder is still against the law. However, some of the photoshopped pics, of Obama showing he loves guns, are hilarious.
I heard about the Wise County kinkajou from a friend in Oregon.
Soooooo, when is the Liberally Lean household getting a kinkajou? I know Mrs. L.L. is mad for monkeys.
287 Drive - housing boom is on but you will get pulled over in Rhome speed trap.
If you guys think DISD is messed up, look at Dr. Rue's salary at Northwest.

I bought a Gut Wrench and I have to say that it is every bit as good as a Land Mine. And I'm talking the good Sorinex type of Land Mine and not the Rogue one or the Body Solid.

Tech better than TCU in the Wacker years? Don't be stupid. Even if they had a better record, they would have been far better off at TCU. Tech was barely out of juco range back then (or now, really).
When are people going to learn, you can't legislate against crazy?
Whenever they read one of your posts.
Happy Birthday Bu Bear!!!
And what is Coach Story's salary?
And what will it take for him to get out of DISD?
It is a Speed trap only for those that Speed....
Don't forget JR Eubanks and Merle (MooMoo) Wang. JR went to Arkansas and I forget where Merle went; could have been TCU.
While everyone debates the niceties of Obama's shooting technique:
- Iran announces it's now a nuclear state.
- North Korea makes a film of it nuking America.
- The CBO now estimates that Obamacare will push 7 million Americans out of job-based insurance coverage, twice as many as the previous estimate.
- Obamacare's cost over the next ten years is $1.165 trillion, a number which goes up each time the CBO recalculates the cost.
So although Obama's attack on the Second Amendment is real, it's just a small part of a campaign to fundamentally change and weaken America that he started years ago.
Wordy, I thought for sure the drones had gotten you by now.
Remember this from Sept 2011? These people should be held accountable. Why did they think Bridgeport needed a hospital to begin with. Was it cronyism?

You people need to talk to others outside your bubble!
One bigot to another does not produce progress.
12:00, just FYI, Billy Joe Tolliver of Boyd quarterbacked Tech to a shellacking of your precious TCU.
Decatur's Lance Aldridge played at Mississippi State. Rick Terrell played at U. of Houston.

Would have thought you would have led off with the story about Saudi preacher who "raped and tortured"
his five year old daughter to death is released after paying "blood money".
Islam, the religion of peace.
To Anonymous 12:00...
WOW! I'm not surprised and equally unimpressed that an anonymous loser, like you, has nothing but an argumentum ad hominem as a retort to my comment.
Sucks to be you but I'm sure that's all you've got.
Merle Wang was TCU then the Cleveland Browns.
Click below for more about who should be held accountable.
“It was truly a team effort,” describes Mayor Don Majka.
“Dr. Ray and his group of physicians were the driving force, but
we could never have succeeded without the support of the whole
community and the professionalism of QHR and InnoVative Capital.”
Wordkyle, I admire your trying to educate the ignorant who are so rampant on here but you are casting pearls before swine. I gave up on most of them a long time ago. And I truly believe that we will not see a return to prosperity as a country until we are either destroyed and rebuilt or another civil war erupts which results in the creation of two seperate countries. This country is as divided as it was in the pre-antebellum years. The conservative, red blooded, patriotic Americans (yes the majority in this country for 200+ years) allowed the metastises of the cancer that is liberal/communist/socialist thought and only surgery or the death of the host will cure it. We are currently being actively attacked by the invading cancer (ie the White House administration and the President) and until we as a collective society realize we are sick we will continue to march toward the terminal aspect of the illness. But I suppose for some ignorance truly is bliss.
"After 16 years of unsuccessfully aligning various groups, corporations and organizations, in 2002, 10 physicians and one CRNA came together to form a group that relentlessly moved forward with the plans for Doctors' Hospital," said Dr. Ray.
The group's first step toward a new hospital for Bridgeport was to recruit Texas native Paul Owens to serve as the hospital's CEO. Next, the group arranged for financing, hired an architect and began construction. But, then, funding for the facility fell through.
In an effort to resolve their funding issues, Dr. Ray and his associates contacted Alan Richman, president and CEO of InnoVative Capital, a financial advisory firm. The group also brought in QHR, one of the nation's leading management and healthcare consulting companies, to help with hospital development.
"QHR came on board in 2005 and they have performed to our high expectations," said Dr. Ray. "They have provided financial information, assisted in obtaining certifications, assisted us in evaluating our operations and gave us invaluable help in obtaining third-party contracts.
"Through QHR's Ken Venuto and Eric Jones, Doctors' Hospital has been well served," he added.

2:09, But isn't it more fun to have a cool, hip president who really knows his social media and pop culture. We don't really need prosperity if we got that! We'd rather be dead and cool than alive and uncool.
WOW! I'm not surprised and equally unimpressed that an anonymous loser, like you, has nothing but an argumentum ad hominem as a retort to my comment.
I don't expect someone as dumb as you to see the irony in you getting upset about an ad hominem while making one, so I thought I'd point it out for you.
As for anonymous, well, I looked up MzChief in the phone book and didn't see your name, so I'll just say that you're quite the loser yourself.
If you weren't actually so ridiculous, I'd get a kick out of your posts. It's hard to tell if you're trolling or just stupid until you go off on a rant after someone criticizes you.
But that's a common ailment of your gender, so I'll excuse you from it. Must be that time of the month.
12:00, just FYI, Billy Joe Tolliver of Boyd quarterbacked Tech to a shellacking of your precious TCU.
Never to be heard from again. The QB or the school.
Wordkyle, the world as we know it will be destroyed, and rebuilt very differently. See the ending, especially, to see how.

Somebody please tell me why the city can't block the sale if they have that much money in the hospital. Hospital was only built because of a whisking contest between Dr's an Decatur . The old if you got one I want one too.
2:26,
You talk shit, 1:20 makes you look like a dumbass when a 5 second google search would have helped you NOT look like a dumbass and that's your retort? A spring enrollment of 30,000+ sure would lead one to believe you're incorrect.
Oh, and BG,
If you're not going to be posting any more political HSO's, I submit that you get Rage to contribute as a guest author of a single post once a week.
226 - Hyperbole instead of facts, pal. Tech beat TCU last year, and has a 11-4 record against the Frogs since 1985, Tolliver's first year as a starter. One quote: "On November 9, 1985, Tolliver had his first breakout performance at Texas Tech as he threw for a record-setting 422 yards and five touchdowns in a 63–7 win over Texas Christian University (TCU), a performance that helped him become a household name in Texas."
Tolliver went on to have a solid, if unremarkable, 12-year career in professional football. So maybe you never heard of him again, but lots of other people did.
Laser Cats rock!!!!!
I think one of the Lowery boys from Paradise was recruited to Oklahoma State when Barry Sanders was there. That should qualify.

Ricky Lee Green would have been recruited to play D-1 football, but nobody found out that he could cut and run until it was too late.
I got a huge chuckle out of our sheriff reported that they were calling the kunkiju Rat Bastard...hahaha still laughing. Walker such a funny guy.
I bet the doctors got their money back, and some. What about others involved getting kickbacks?
2:24 - I was totally with you.... until your last sentence. Why did you insult 50% of us? Believe me, we are not all like mzchief.

2:33 was response to 2:09, but in hope for all to watch, especially the ending.
Did Lee Roy Jenkins get recruited?
I heard a couple of kids for Wise sign with Weatherford College some for the team out of Minerals and a few more for the Decatur team
Billy Joe tossed 56 TD passes in the pros.
I bet that's more than the number of cases Rage has won, especially from ages 23 to 35 or so...
Brothers, Eddy Walker & Freddy Walker from Rhome (graduated from Northwest HS ) were recruited by U of Houston in early '60's.
jessie deluna quarterback from brideport in 93' sign with a&m, out of high school then transfered to tarleton
