Motorcycle flip. Baby got huge back. Back flip gone wrong. Cobra man.

Beautiful Girls . . .

. . . is a really good movie although a little sappy. I rented it based upon a comment to one of my blogs below. Good job to someone name anonymous. And quite the cast: Timothy Hutton, Matt Dillon, a 13 year old Portman, Rosie O'Donnell, Uma Thurman, and Matt Dillon.

I actually bought one of those laser levels this week. You know, the doohickey that beams a laser light across a wall so that you can line things up. It worked like a charm.

In Never Said Republicans Were Stupid

A funny day in Congress. The Democrats in the House proposed a resolution that the U.S. remove troops from Iraq "at the earliest practicable date." The Republicans came up with an interesting plan. They proposed an alternative amendment, that required a vote, that read: "It is the sense of the House of Representatives that the deployment of United States forces in Iraq be terminated immediately." Say what? The point was that the Republicans wanted to force the Democrats to vote on the alternative. Most of the Dems, of course, couldn't support such a drastic measure. Kind of a "put up or shut up" proposal. Genius.

Huh?

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Gravy

I've never read a Harry Potter book. I never seen a Harry Potter movie (the newest one debuts this weekend). And I don't think that's going to change.

Sir Paul

Paul McCartney is in town this weekend and it reminds me of high school. My brother was a huge Beatles and McCartney fan so I ended up buying the double album of "Wings Over America" - a live album. (You can see the song titles by clicking on the image). I played that thing constantly throughout high school with specific emphasis on "The Long and Winding Road". My high school girlfriend loved it. Until five years post high school when she admitted that she hated every song on it.

Walker, Texas . . . Huh?

Jodie Foster Turns 43 Tomorrow

Help Me Out Here

The Dallas Morning News said today that UNT coach Tina Slinker, who has been at the school for 17 years, will seek her 200 win tonight. Doesn't she have a Wise County connection? My memory is breaking down.

I Am Royally PO'd . . .

I've Never Been Much Of A Hockey Fan

"So far, the Stars are posting an announced average home attendance of 16,868 (with American Airlines Center capacity at 18,532), down 1,487 from their season average in 2003-04. In addition, their most recent home game Nov. 7 hosted a crowd of 15,286, the smallest since 1997, when the team played at Reunion Arena. "

Insanity

"MIAMI (Reuters) - A jury has ordered Ford Motor Co. to pay $61 million to the parents of a 17-year-old who died when the Ford Explorer in which he was riding rolled over, a lawyer said on Thursday. " ......story here. The amazing thing is that all of the damages were "compensatory" damages. That is, damages to compensate the parents for what they lost. Since we aren't talking about lost income (as in the death of a spouse), the damages had to be for such things as pain and suffering, loss of companionship, etc. Amazing. There were no punitive damages awarded. That is, damages to "punish" Ford for doing something wrong.

This Christmas, you can put this gift under this tree for your wife or husband.

The Great Wall of Texas?

Headline: "Momentum builds for fence along U.S.-Mexican border." There seems to be a growing firestorm storm in the area of illegal aliens. Bush's right wing critics are constantly harping on how he had done nothing to curtail illegal immigration (Bill O'Reilly is at the top of the list). Now throw in the local story of the Dallas cop that was killed over the weekend by an illegal immigrant. It's getting kind of tense. It's getting a little tense.
