Random Monday Morning Thoughts - That Didn't Load On Time!



  • "I have to believe that when you do not respond in any way, that you are either inept, or you have some ulterior motive of which you are functioning from,” Rick Perry on the current immigration issue while appearing ABC’s This Week on Sunday. And you guys think I butcher the English language.
  • Please, Governor, run for president again. I need material. 
  • Mashable.com had a list of "13 Short Stories That Will Blow Your Mind" this weekend. I read The Lottery again for the first time since high school (still creepy) and read Zombie by Chuck Palahniuk (creepy even by today's standards.) 
  • I was asleep on Saturday when I was awakened by Mrs. Mrs. LL and the Kids launching some type of fireworks that had to be illegal.
  • As I was getting a haircut yesterday, my "stylist" stuck out her tongue to show where she had bit it.
  • I'm embarrassed to say that we all watched the Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Contest live. 
  • My administrative assistant called into question the wording of a sentence I had written in a letter last week. We then then struggled over it for about a minute before we got it right. I liked that. 
  • Tony Romo needs 3,378 yards to become the Cowboys all time leading passer (in yards) over Troy Aikman. He's done that at least six of the last seven seasons. 
  • Fox and Friends Brian Kilmeade wrote a book last year? Those guys over at Fox just let their name be used as a co-author, right? 
  • The Wimbledon women's final took 55 minutes. The men's took 56 minutes and three more hours. 
  • A high tone Austin lawyer gets caught in a $60 prostitution sting conducted by the FBI. More proof we have too many cops 
  • If you want to hear a lot of angst, listen to talk radio on the immigration "crisis". Mark Davis had no where to go on Thursday when he was confronted by a right winger on his lack of "Christian kindness." He had to resort to, "There's is no teaching that says it it is to be done in disobedience to, or ignorance of, the law." Huh?  
  • It sounds like the University of Texas president is being forced out. Something weird is going on in the Evil Empire. 
  • We've got a pot bellied pig in the house. It eats like a pig. And squeals like a pig. I have no idea how I got talked into this. 
  • It's an elusive little thing.
