Christmas Present
There's some breaking news about the indictment against Tom Delay being thrown out.
Developing.
Edit: Oops. Looks like just some of the charges were dismissed.

Unfortunately, Not To Me
A 20 year old, who inherited and estimated $2.7 billion two years ago, has now married. (And there's just something about that last name).
And Then Depression Set In
Ok, my worst nightmare has come true. The Texas Longhorns are 12-0 and playing for the national championship game against USC in about a month. And I had to spend three hours yesterday looking at very happy 'Horn fans fondling roses during the ridiculous 70-3 win over Colorado in the Big 12 Championship game (and it wasn't that close).
My Christmas has been ruined.
I think I'll just sit here on the couch with my USC penant until this ugly nightmare is over. And I might have to get our my Dress Blues if UT wins.
Edit: USC has opened as a 7 point favorite.
You've Got To See
The ice sculpture exhibit at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine called, well . . . "Ice".
It's a bit pricey ($20.00), but worth it. (I went yesterday).
And if you are the least bit interested, click here to see a picture from inside the exhibit.

Movie Flashbacks
War of the Worlds is awful.
Sideways is great.
Million Dollar Baby is horrendous.
8mm (and old one I just rented) is very, very good.
Ten Marines Are . . .
. . . dead after a recent bomb in Iraq.
Let's figure a way to get out of there. Please.
Amazing
A corporate CEO recently spent $10 MILLION for his daughter's Bat Mitzvah party!
David Brooks, CEO of a huge defense contractor, DHB Industries, booked two floors of the Rainbow Room in New York last weekend, and arranged command performances by 50 Cent, Tom Petty, Aerosmith, Eagles Don Henley and Joe Walsh, Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks, DJ AM, rap diva Ciara, and Kenny G. for over 300 guests, who listened during their pre-dinner cocktails.
And there are pictures to prove it.
And one other thing: Defense contractor? Hey! That's our money!
In Honor Of the 1,000th Execution
Here's a list of all "final statements" of those executed in Huntsville.
Samples:
"All right, Warden, let's do it."
"I've got one thing to say, get your Warden off this gurney and shut up. I am from the island of Barbados. I am the Warden of this unit."
Ricky Lee Green's is here.
Edit: Here's one found by a Commentor about the Cowboys.

10-2
You may have been following the horrendous capital murder trial of Joseph Smith (not the Mormon) in Florida. Tonight the jury voted 10-2 to impose the death penalty.
10-2?
In Texas, it requires a unanimous vote.
Really Random Thought
Why do light bulbs burn out constantly but vehicle headlights can burn for years?
Vince Vaughn / Jennifer Aniston
The cops stopped this new couple the other night and, after smelling alcohol on the Vaughn's breath, investigated him for possible DUI.
The most amazing thing was that they let him go. (I think the law is in Texas is that an officer smells alcohol on your breath, then you must be arrested, but I'm not sure about that).
That's One Mean Paper
This was printed in the Dallas Morning News today. (They named names and that name was one of their own - in a story not really worthy of publishing).
"A Hockaday student was arrested and two others were issued citations on alcohol charges after police broke up a party of about 50 teenagers in Highland Park on Friday night, police said. Highland Park police said a 17-year-old girl posted $256 bond on a public intoxication charge after a party in the 4200 block of Armstrong Drive. The two other students, including a child of Jim Moroney, the publisher and chief executive officer of The Dallas Morning News, were issued tickets for underage drinking. Those two are also Hockaday students, police said."
Sounds like one heck of a rich kid party, though.
