If That's What You Want To Call It
There was supposed to be an "International Airshow" at Alliance Airport today featuring the Thunderbirds and the Army's Golden Knights. It was cancelled due to possible weather problems caused by Rita.
To apologize for the cancellation, the show ran a 1/2 page ad today in the Star-Telegram. This caught my eye: "If you have purchased advance tickets, your donation is going to the Fort Worth Aviation Heritage Association."
Train Wreck
"NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Country singer Mindy McCready was hospitalized after overdosing on antidepressants early Friday following a quarrel with the father of her unborn child. "

Can We Have Some Common Decency?
This picture was distributed by news agencies this month after the lady received her card from the Red Cross as one of the evacuees. You can read the number can't you? I wonder if anyone tried to use the number for an unauthorized purchase.
Yep.
This Is Big
A bus "exploded" on I-45 this morning as it headed away from the gulf coast. From news footage and reports, it looks like it was carrying a group of senior citizens.
When WFAA took over the news from GMA at the bottom of the 7 o'clock hour, the in house reporter confirmed there was one dead and then threw it to the on scene reporter. I could have sworn I heard her say there were at least 20 dead.
Update: The Morning News has put the "20 dead" figure on its website.

I'll Say It Again: Barbaric
I posted this note last Sunday about a boxer who was in serious condition after a boxing match shown on HBO Pay Per View.
There is a tragic update.
Do You Think It's Possible . . .
. . . there is at least one person out there who is actually concerned, considering that the hurricane is headed towards Houston/Beaumont, that Bud and Sissy will be OK?
Master Of The Obvious
The traffic jam getting out of Houston was incredible today.
ABC News Tonight had a shot of one of the only gas stations open (at a Sam's Club) and Charlie Gibson said he counted 110 cars in line behind one of the pumps. Wow. Even at 5 minutes per fill up per car (which is ridiculously optimistic), that would be over a nine hour wait for car #110.
This World Is A Nutty Place
I wonder if there is a government in this world that would pay a person $11,000 to have a third child?
Found one.
And This Is Just The "Regular" Chart
Talk about diversity. This week's Billboard Top Ten Album chart includes Kanye West (rapper), Trisha Yearwood (country), Paul McCartney (he was in a band once), and Mariah Carey (talk about a comeback).
Scapegoat?
Lynndie England, 22, is on trial again in connection with the Abu Ghraib prison scandal.
(No, I don't know who the lady is in the picture with her - but I think she was always walking in and out of the courtroom with England during the first trial. And, no, I don't know if the court has a dress code)
Hmmmmm
"FIRE CHIEFS PLAN FOR HURRICANE – Wise County fire chiefs meet tonight to go over plans for how to handle the remnants of Hurricane Rita, expected to bring high winds and heavy rains to Wise County over the weekend. " - The Update
JetBlue
Did you see the emergency landing of the JetBlue aircraft in Los Angeles? It's landing gear was screwed up and their was speculation its landing might not occur safely - possibly even disasterous.
What's crazy is that the plane was equipped with satellite TV and each passenger viewing a screen attached to the seat in front of him. It was tuned to MSNBC which was broadcasting the story of the possibly doomed flight (at least until it was turned off for the final hour).

Homer Call
The SMU broadcast team got a little excited over the team's first touchdown against A&M in the first quarter. The Aggies would end up scoring 66 points.
