School/Daycare Closings?

It looks like it a crazy combo of early closings out there. (I don't think I've ever seen so many young mothers scramble out of the courthouse).

Awful

CHICO FIRE KILLS TWO – A pre-dawn fire today killed two persons trapped inside their small home on Texas 101 north of Chico. (More . . . )

Blizzard Of The Century Headed Our Way?

Predictions? Anyone? Anyone?

WWJD?

I saw an article on Yahoo about how many of the new Mega-Churches are closing on Christmas Day because they were "anticipating low attendance on what they call a family day." Uh, yeah, you read that correctly. I didn't think much about it until I saw that the ridiculously large "Fellowship Church" in Grapevine is joining in the shut down. Maybe the Purpose Driven Life doesn't include church on Christmas. And, you know what? Christmas Day falls on a Sunday. More proof that the sign of the Apocalypse is upon us.

Saddam's Trial

It's odd that the first witness in the Sadam Hussein trial testified behind a curtain and with a voice synthesizer. Ironically, that would never fly in an American courtroom where, thank goodness, there is something called the Confrontation Clause that would prohibit such a thing. Think about it: If someone accused you of a crime, how could your lawyer cross examine him or her if they it could not be determined who they were? And this is a death penalty case! And another disturbing thing was this report: "The most compelling testimony came from the woman identified only as 'Witness A,' who was a 16-year-old girl at the time of the crackdown. Her voice breaking with emotion, she told the court of beatings and electric shocks by the former president's agents." Agents? Certainly we wouldn't put President Bush on trial for the actions of soldier Lindy England at Abu Ghraib prison.

It's Marital Carnage

Good Luck With All Of That

Highland Park is playing for a state championship this weekend. Unfortunately, the game is being played at a 12,000 seat stadium in Tyler (named, oddly, "Trinity Mother Frances Rose Stadium"). Thus, all tickets were sold in a matter of hours. Those Highland Parkers are now scrambling. But some guy will gladly sell you two tickets off of Craig's List. And I bet some Highland Park nutcase will buy them.

I laugh every time I see the Geico "caveman commercial".

He's A Born Show Man

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott has released a list of the top ten Dead Beat Dads. I was so amazed that Abbott held a press conference in connection with the release of the list. It was like he was acting like ....well....uh .... a politician.

Cold?

There is a lot of over media-weather-hype going on about the huge cold front coming in but.....I don't mind at all.

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.
