Motorcycle Death Update

Just heard about one on Fox 4 News that occurred in Sanger today off of FM 455. Looked like one of those Ninja things. (No pics or links. Too beaten down to put that much effort into this.)

Wise County News In Denton Record Chronicle

But not exciting news.

Weather Talk

Since I'm expecting to run in this stuff tomorrow, I've been interested in when the cold front was going to blow through. Listening to everyone yesterday (example above), it looked like Sunday afternoon.

Oops.

Try this morning. It's 46 degrees in Decatur at the time of this posting.

Lari Barager's Hot New Hairdo

Huge thumbs up.

Breaking Economic Data

Wise County reaches full emloyment. Eleven guys work on tarring the roof of County Clerk's office. Dow ends slightly higher. Fed to hold interest rates. Developing . . .

Motorcycle Chaos

The Star-Telegram just put up a couple of videos regarding a controversial police chase of a motorcycle in Watauga. Pretty crazy stuff.

Friday Dance Off

Entry #1: ABBA's "Dancing Queen" + Neiman Marcus 100th anniversary shindig in downtown Dallas + free alcohol + rented tuxedos + white people "dancing" = exactly what you'd expect. (Source) Entry #2: Memphis Black Pride Festival and"The Cupid Shuffle"

The Wedding Dance

I posted the crazy youtube clip a couple of weeks ago of a couple's first dance. They showed up on The Today Show this morning - good looking couple that seem to be on the same page. But there was nothing funnier than Matt Lauer recreating the "spank move."

Hey, Now

It's not the hottest pic of Lindsay Lohan, but I'll take it. But I think I'm more amused by the Spider Baby.

I'm sure there's an explanation to all of this.

Dirty, Unsexy Money

I'd never heard of Richard "Dickie" Scruggs. But I quickly learned today that he is an old school plaintiffs lawyer from Mississippi who got rich back in the day by suing everybody for everything. He made almost half a billion dollars by being a contract lawyer for state governments in the big Tobacco Settlements in the 1990s (never before have so few gotten so rich because of political connections - an embarrassment of riches.)

So I already don't like the guy.

But then I learned he was federally indicted last month for allegedly trying to bribe a judge with $40,000 for a favorable ruling in a lawsuit involving Katrina victims and insurance companies. Actually, the lawsuit involved a bunch of lawyers fighting over $26 million in attorneys fees that had already been awarded. Sheesh.

Yesterday, the lawyer that delivered the money to the judge, Tim Balducci, pled guilty to the charge and will cooperate with the Feds.

Dickie, things are about to get tough for you. You might want to ask former Texas AG Dan Morales what to expect.

And, I'll be, he's Trent Lott's brother-in-law.

Saw This In A Couple Of Places Today

Now Fox News has the story. I think that's more than 20% but I've never been good with math.

More . . . .

Probably from the old Chico VFW.

Just Stare At The Headline

And there is no way I can describe Lari Barager's report on this on Fox 4 last night. That bipolar lady is indeed bipolar if bipolar means "crazy."

And Lori ended her report saying, "And [the bi-polar lady] told me that she'll probably spend tonight with the monkey sleeping on her head." And Lari never cracked a smile.

Mall Shooting

With the bad deal in Omaha yesterday, I was reminded by WBAP this morning of the shooting at Irving Mall in 1993 when a guy got shot in the head at the food court. I think the victim had a famous name, but I haven't looked it up yet.

And I'm convinced the WBAP's Hal Jay (who is now co-hosting a one hour show between 8 and 9 with Mark Davis) may be the dumbest man in America. He asked this morning whether it would be legal for a licensed conceal and carry guy to shoot the killer yesterday if the same mall shooting had happened in Texas. Then he asked if the shooter in Omaha did it for publicity. Uh, the suicide note where he said he wanted to "go out in style" might answer that question. But Hal, who had been listening to the news all morning, didn't know there was a suicide note.
