I'm Having Flashbacks

Did you see that the White Sox have adopted Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" as their "theme song" and have gone so far as to make sure former lead singer Steve Perry has been at every game?

She Is 58 Today

And I wonder how many other shots were fired?

When you get a chance to see the Messenger today, count the number of bullet holes in the driver's side door of Kevin Wood's vehicle. (The paper reproduced the photo on its web site but it's very small and can't be enlarged).

Uh, Note To Conservatives: Someone Wants To Hang Out With You

"AUSTIN - The Ku Klux Klan has received permission to hold a rally in Austin in support of the proposal to outlaw same-sex marriage in the Texas Constitution."

Pretty Good Story Today . . .

. . . in the Star Telegram about Kevin Wood, the guy who was shot and killed by police yesterday in Decatur.

It's Halloween And . . .

. . . I hate these things.

I Wonder If Any One Could Afford To Super-Size It?

"WASHINGTON - President Bush gathered with his party faithful Tuesday night for a $15,000-a-couple dinner that the Republican National Committee reported raised at least $1 million. "

No Happy Ending

From the Star Telegram (although I'm not sure how it is "newsworthy"): "HURST - An unlicensed massage therapist was in the Hurst Jail today after she offered to perform a sex act on an undercover officer, police said. Police arrested Jiaoyan Cheng, 33, of Bedford on Monday afternoon. The arrest came after three undercover Hurst police officers visited the spa earlier this month. " Can I please have a say on how my tax dollars are spent?

Mein Cupcakes

These girls would be so precious . . . . if they weren't Nazis!!!! (This story actually appeared on ABC two weeks ago but is finally getting the buzz it deserves).

2,000

As of today, that is the number of deaths of U.S. military men in Iraq- many, if not most, who were in their twenties. Not one U.S. life was worth that god-forsaken place.

287 May Be Shut Down

Channel 5 is reporting that 287 is shut down - both ways - as you enter Tarrant County due to a wreck involving a chemical spill. (I actually saw them shutting down the northbound lanes around 12:15 p.m. this afternoon). Here is the "photo slideshow".

Al Roker . . .

. . . knocked down by a hurricane (video). Now that makes for a good morning. (And who is the poor sap that has the job of hanging on to Al's leg?)

Star Telegram's Story . . .

of this morning's shooting. (And a brief blurb on the WFAA web site).

Police Kill Second Man This Year . . .

in Decatur after a car chase......Developing. The KXAS Channel 5 report from this morning is here, but there's not much to it. Reports are that Decatur PD was not involved in the shooting but DPS trooper(s) were the officers firing.

James Carville Was On The Today Show . . .

. . . this morning and he always makes me laugh. Interestingly, however, both he and the right winger they had on opposite of him (I forgot her name), predicted that the Harriett Miers' supreme court nomination was dead in the water.

Coincidence, Part 2

As a follow-up to the name of secret daughter-to-be (posted yesterday), I couldn't help but notice this news broke over the wire last night.

One Of My Recurring Rants

Rosa Parks, the lady that refused to give up her seat to white man in 1955 in Alabama and was jailed because of it, has died. I'm still amazed at how much we have changed. Folks, that was only fifty years ago. Only fifty! Who knows what stupid injustices are being inflicted on mankind right now that fifty years from now society will consider barbaric. (Placing people in cages for private drug use is at the top of my list).
