Gary Cogill: Top 10 worst and best films 2005. I've seen four of the Top 10 and none of the Bottom Ten.

Texan Of The Year

The Dallas Morning News continues its countdown with #4 today. So far . . . 10. Harriet Miers (thinks W was the best governor "ever") 9. Joel Osteen (mild manner guy with a short tempered wife) 8. Kim Mulkey-Robertson (Baylor basketball coach and the greatest person "ever") 7. Robert Rodriguez (the Hispanic Quentin Tarantino) 6. Tom Craddick (pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaazzzzzzzzze) 5. Ronnie Earle (the most wheels off DA "ever") 4 Jamie Foxx (I can't get that Gold Digger song out of my brain).

I Don't . . .

. . . understand people. (Google video)

Video Clip Of The Year

As the Internet grows, there is not a single piece of news talk show video that doesn't make it to the web. My vote for the greatest clash of the year is this one of Phil Donahue on Bill O'Reilly's show "talking" about the war in Iraq. Phil schooled him.

I Promise

I have not been near Lake County, Florida lately. (story)

Grass Fires

Based upon the amount of police radio chatter going on at 2:30 p.m., there appears to be some pretty big grass fires popping up. Developing. It seems like the two main fires are near 730 in Boyd and another around CR or FM 2048 (I don't know where that is). A helicopter has arrived to drop water.

When Church . . .

. . . becomes a game show.

Burn. Burn. Burn.

Fox 4 News' tonight's lead story were about the grass fires in Wise County. Sounds crazy.

Enough of Good Tidings

Ok, I've got a post-Christmas gripe. What is up with the sales people manning the kiosks at Northeast Mall who approach you and bug you to buy their products as you walk by? I felt like I was walking through downtown Matamoras.

"Santa Leaving Fort Worth On Christmas Morning"

Worth A Smile

This morning, a man was going up and down my street yelling "Merry Christmas, it is time to get up!" I grabbed my camera. This photo was taken a few moments before 8:00 a.m.

Ok, It Will Be A Little Slow Here . . .

. . . for the next couple of days. Merry Christmas to all my friends (and even to those that just love to hate me).

What The . . . ?

"A 5 1/2-year veteran deputy with the Hood County Sheriff’s Department is facing a three- to five-day suspension without pay following the “overzealous” treatment of two juveniles in an incident Nov. 22. Jim Scroggins did not violate any department policy by handcuffing the boys, ages 11 and 12, but he did show a lack of respect toward the juveniles, said sheriff Gene Mayo. The 2 Granbury boyswere detaines, for an alleged burglary in Rock Harbor, a Granbury Subdivision." (Source)

Music Trivia

Even though I didn't want to, I really liked Mariah Carey's most recent album, "The Emancipation of Mimi". But there is some pretty big music trivia news. Her new single, "Don't Forget About Us" just hit #1 on the Billboard charts. Get this: That is her 17th #1 single which ties her with Elvis for the No. 2 position of all time. The Beatles are in first place with 20 #1 singles.
