- The greatest request ever for an attorney general opinion by an elected Texas County Attorney: Can the commissioners' court prevent me from bringing my 16 year old miniature dachshund to my county office even though the fine puppy dog creates a "safer work environment"?
- What the County Attorney meant was that he often deals with angry people in his office, but he believes the dog has a "calming effect" on all parties. At first I thought that was silly. The more I think about it the more that makes some sense.
- Don't know how to make the picks in the Liberally Lean 2013 Tourney? How about base it upon the most famous graduate of each school?
- Oh, yeah. Enter here.
- Brad Watson is leaving Channel 8 after thirty-four years. Did he ever smile?
- Obscure random thought: Some guy announced his candidacy for Tarrant County DA yesterday, and he sounds like he has some decent credentials. However, for all my lawyer friends, would you ever send out a press release with a citation to one of his famous cases that is in complete violation of the Texas Green Book Rules of Form? Edit: The press release is a little old. I learned about the DA announcement here.
- The Texas legislator that was arrested for DWI took to the floor of the house yesterday to apologize for her mistake. "Lawmakers applauded loudly, eventually climbing to their feet. Some gave Gonzalez hugs and high-fives. Flowers were left on her desk in the chamber." Huh?
- While you were sleeping: Seven marines killed, eight wounded. In Afghanistan? Nope. Nevada.
- Turf Wars: Bridgeport ISD continues the Cold War by voting against installing turf at Bull Stadium.
- I have no understanding of Cyprus potentially seizing 10% of all bank accounts in the country, but did you know the taking of 10% is an accurate meaning of the word "decimate"?
- I actually watched some of the Heat/Celtics game last night since the Heat was attempting to go for its 23rd straight win. I guess that was exciting. (But the bounce the ball off the guy's back to run out the clock was pretty clever.)
- Dallas mayor Mike Rawlings was on Fox 4 last night discussing a rally this weekend against domestic violence. "One out of two women in their life will be hit by their intimate partner. That's amazing. It hits everybody." I think he meant, "Domestic violence impacts us all."
- Frisco home exploded this morning. Gas leak?

Lindsey Vonn just lost me.
Might have been a gas leak but the cops had the gas surrounded before it exploded.
Woods in babe is more accurate...
That "press release" for Mackey was dated 2008, and looks like it was put out as a party "spotlight", not as a press release announcing any candidacy. That is, I think it's likely that Mackey didn't draft it.
I don't think FW needs another ancient dude as DA anyway.
"The Texas legislator that was arrested for DWI took to the floor of the house yesterday to apologize for her mistake. "Lawmakers applauded loudly, eventually climbing to their feet. Some gave Gonzalez hugs and high-fives. Flowers were left on her desk in the chamber." Huh?"
I tried the same thing at my work place after I got DWI but all I got were boos, and a lot of remarks about how I was a jackass and "you could have killed my child"! Someone left a bag of dogshiate on my desk.
I have no understanding of the Cyprus thing either, but wouldn't this cause a run on the banks?
I will take them all.
Texas legislator is a Democrat. What do you expect?
False Compassion once again. Forget the victims she hurt, one being a bicyclist. Forget the fact that she chose to drink and drive. Lets show clemency to her, because now her life is affected....she may lose her job....she may lose her license.....she is the true victim.
Just like the 2 teens who raped the girl in OH. The liberal press tries to make them the victims.
To hell with false compassion.
No problem on getting turf at B'port. Just carry the ballot box around to school fundraisers and strongarm everyone there like they did last time. Why gerrymander when you can move the ballot box where you want it?

Good thing the U.S.A. can just print more money.
Government taking ten percent of savings -- I got criticized a while back for suggesting that our own federal government might someday "solve" its indebtedness by seizing a portion of people's retirement accounts. Crazy, huh?
That RTG pic should keep Bacon busy for a while.
Alexander Tytler's writings on the life expectancy of a democracy are once again proven to be true. And the related "Fatal Sequence" of Henning Webb Prentis seems to be occurring in Cyprus.
In a democracy people will vote for the candidates who promise the most hand outs from the public treasury.
Counselor, you are correct regarding the etymology/origin of decimate, wrong as to its usage.
9:19
Thanks for putting forward that shallow observation once again. This Country's problem is not the voters asking for handouts for it's votes, it is big money corrupting Congress into starting wars, cutting their taxes, and making them a law unto themsleves.
But go ahead and keep posting silly statements to show that you don't get it. Would hate to see either original thought or a real analysis of the situation when sticking your head in the sand will do just fine.

9:43, how many times can a man look up before he sees the sky. The answer is blowing in the wind.
but did you know the taking of 10% is an accurate meaning of the word "decimate"?
Yes.
Woods in babe is more accurate...
How do you know what their proclivities are?
I have no understanding of the Cyprus thing either, but wouldn't this cause a run on the banks?
Not if the government locks the accounts down.
Texas legislator is a Democrat. What do you expect?
I would expect her to have the same number of DWIs as George Bush, and one fewer than Dick Cheney. Also, she hasn't killed anyone in a car, like Laura Bush did. (Those are all Republicans, you know.)
Crazy, huh?
Yes. As usual.
wrong as to its usage.
Not in the larger sense. It's most often used as a military term, but lots of things can be decimated. Crops, for example, are often described as having been decimated in droughts or during famine. The loss of 10% of something, by any means, is the correct usage, despite the origin of taking 10% of the loser's army as slaves or killing them.

I hope Lindsey likes orgies. Tiger will be all up in them again before you know it.
RT girls - These are Tiger's lovers.
Gonzalez is a Democrat in name only. She votes with Republicans and against Democrats. She receives money from Republicans and gives to Republicans. Her biggest backer is Republican-backed TLR which supports limiting the 7th Amendment (right to trial by jury) and giving power to the government in civil justice matters.
9:43, your eloquently expressed post seems to ignore the premise that, ironically, 9:19 provides. How do you suppose those corruptible men and women in Congress got there?
The problem is lazy bums expecting someone else to take care of them AND a corrupt congress.
more info on the turf wars please.
BTW, love the cold war analogy...
someone should tell tiger that ski poles can be as deadly as a golf club.

News Flash: Tea Party supports authoritarian regimes:

Hey wordturd--I thought that Tea Partiers were legitimate folks, just like you and me? Well, maybe just like you...
10:43, so basically she votes her beliefs and lines her pockets?
Rage, you listed people who seem to have sincere remorse for their actions. I doubt that lawyer did. Hell she got flowers, WTF?
Ted Kennedy's remorse was more sincere than hers.
One of two women is hit at one time by their partner? That number seems a little self serving (for whom, I don't know); kind of like the food bank that says 3 out of 5 kids go to bed hungry; not from where I'm sitting, it seems that 3 of 5 kids are fat!
Hey---I thought Obama was supposed to hate Israel and was about to hand it over to the Muslims?
http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/19/politics/king-peres-obama/index.html?hpt=hp_t2
Notice how wordturd hides when he doesn't have his talking points loaded on the teleprompter?
Notice how 2:00 posts comments that are a waste of space?
1242 - A person's past associations are certainly important in assessing them today. You didn't mention the part of the story that states that Conservatives are cutting him off after finding out about his involvement with an extremist group.
At least he wasn't elected President of the United States.
In the 1990s, Barack Obama was affiliated with the Socialist "New Party" and its sister group "Progressive Chicago." He spoke at a "Democratic Socialists of America" conference and appeared in the New Party's advertising.
In no way am I saying Ives should be absolved of poor judgment just because Obama has been. I think such stupid affiliations should be considered by the public when judging a politician.
Rage, you listed people who seem to have sincere remorse for their actions.
Yeah, Bush was so sincere that when he was called for jury duty when he was governor he got his general counsel to get him out of it so he didn't have to admit he'd been convicted of a crime if asked by a lawyer during voir dire.
Your sort of hypocrisy is what's wrong with this country. It is rampant on both sides, but at least Democrats don't act like their shit don't stink.
Rage
"it seems that 3 of 5 kids are fat!"
Come to the East Side in Corsicana. If you make it out alive, you won't have seen a single fat kid. Lots of hungry ones, though. For a lot of kids in Texas, the only time they eat is at school.
110 - You're certainly correct in that Israel's Prime Minister said nice things about Obama. Politicians often make public statements to flatter other leaders into supporting them. However, 36% of Israelis believe Obama is against Israel in the Palestinian conflict. 38% of Israelis believe Obama is hostile to Israel, and 36% have an unfavorable or highly unfavorable opinion of him. Israelis pay attention.
It's still early in Obama's second term. He still has plenty of time to be flexible in betraying Israel to their enemies.
"However, 36% of Israelis believe Obama is against Israel in the Palestinian conflict. 38% of Israelis believe Obama is hostile to Israel, and 36% have an unfavorable or highly unfavorable opinion of him."
And more Republicans than that think Obama is the anti-christ, the world is flat, and the earth is only 5,000 years old.
You're busted again wordturd, stop being such a liar.
What do you tell a woman with two black eyes....
Huh? is right...we applaud an elected offical for her apology for a DWI but a lowly newscaster (Jane McGerry) is fired? Makes perfect sense in American, huh?
"Democrats don't act like their shit don't stink."
Most disingenuous statement of the year right there. It is damn sure laughable but considering the nacrissitic nature of the source, he may just believe his own BS.
Stop Lying Rage
"but at least Democrats don't act like their shit don't stink."
Name 3.
Wonderful logic, wordy. If 36% believe Obama is against Israel... then it appears 64% disagree with that statement. Same with the the 38% and 36% statements - some 60% take a different position. BTW - what is your opinion on the Palestinian question? Pretty complex problem, huh?
Smart people in Bridgeport voted NO to AfroTurf. I never use to say smart and Bridgeport in the same comment.
They need to use DISD ballot box it has more miles on it it's been everywhere.
If Tiger Woods was a poor nigger would she still be in love with him? sure she would it's love.lmao
WordTurd
36%+36%+
+38%=110%?
Using that funny FOX math
4:12
You really that stupid? Those percentages are responses to 3 separate questions.
There's no turf for Bridgeport's football field? They play on dirt?
Okay, I'll address the math questions one at a time.
412 - Those percentages were to different questions. Fox math or regular math, you need a clue.
402 - I tried to save space, but linked to the story so you could see for yourself. 36% of Israelis believe Obama is pro-Palestinian; 26% believe he's pro-Israel; 26% believe he is neutral.
38% of Israelis believe Obama is hostile to Israel; 14% believe he is indifferent; "a third" believe he is supportive.
32% of Israelis say they don't like Obama, but respect him.
19% view him unfavorably, and 17% view him highly unfavorably.
All of this to point out that more Israelis believe Obama is against them than think he is for them. And for such a historically unwavering ally, being for Israel should be the default position.
In my line of work if I get a DWI my career is over....even a newscaster knows to resign when they get one....this elected official should do the same and get a real job.
Our high school with have turf too!
And I am not from Boyd, Ponder, or Krum!
Think about that one and consider who is and is not progressive!
People don't realize the costs associated with maintaining grass fields
Fertilizer
Mowing
Watering
To the level expected by the community
Some of those fields look like golf courses....not the local golf courses but real ones with 18 holes.
That costs money!
