Liberal Media? .... Yeah, Probably

I was watching CNN tonight and they had some doctor on explaining what is going on with Harry Whittington's heart (the guy that ended up on the business end of Cheney's shotgun). But I noticed at the bottom of the screen, where they put text to describe the story going on, was: "Cheney Victim's Heart". The "victim" word was probably a little over the top.

Shot Through The Heart, And You're To Blame

Not quite, but the 78 year old lawyer shot by Dick Cheney has taken a turn for the worse. And this headline is not appropriate at the moment (which actually was released on Yahoo News after the above story). Edit: You know, the pellets near the heart sounds like a bad thing. This guy may die.

Brokeback Mountain . . .

. . . has captured Willie Nelson!!

OK, More Dog Piling

Rob Courdry on Jon Stewart last night: "Jon, tonight the Vice President is standing by his decision to shoot Harry Whittington. Now according to the best intelligence available, there were quail hidden in the brush. Everyone believed at the time-there-were-quail in the brush. But the quail turned out to be a 78 year old man. Even knowing that today, Mr. Cheney insists-he still would have shot Mr. Whittington in the face."

Self Love Is In The Air

What may be the worst hour in television history may occur today. Garth Brooks (with new wife) is on Oprah. My TV might blow up.

Enough Already

I Don't Think You Can Get These Sheets At Walmart


"Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right"

I just saw a commercial for some kind of Olay beauty product with the background music of "Stuck In The Middle With You" by Stealer's Wheel. All I could think about was one of the most intense movie scenes ever from Reservoir Dogs. (For those that haven't seen it, let's just say it refers to a knife, an ear, some gasoline and one crazy guy). I bet the Olay executives have never seen the movie.

Turn Left

I was in the same room today with a girl who, without provocation, began talking about restrictor plates. Is it NASCAR season?

Cheney's Gotta Gun

Here's the Texas Parks and Wildlife Report on VP Dick Cheney's unsafe gun habits. Here's a question for you hunters out there (my membership in PETA doesn't expire until June), what happens when you hit a man with a 28 gauge using 7 1/2 shot at 30 yards?

Defendant Exhibit #1

Here'a a pic of Dena Schlosser, the lady accused of cutting off the arms of her child in Collin County. The trial begins today. She will use the insanity defense.

And this teacher sooooooo needed someone to tell him to shut up during the interview. Video.

What's Next?

The First Baptist Church of Grapevine is operating an alcohol-free bar. "No smoking is allowed and the closest thing to alcohol is 'Baptist beer' -- slang for Dr Pepper."

Peter Benchley . . .

. . . who wrote the novel Jaws, upon which the film was based, has died. I saw the movie in a theater as a child and loved every minute of it. And I still remember that my family took a vacation to Padre Island two weeks later. (And what a great name for the book and movie.)
