. . . lost her mind on the Jay Leno show. Me loves me some . . . well . . . maybe I don't.

For Some Reason, This Made Me Laugh

"LIBERTY, Mo. - A youth minister was charged with assault for allegedly knocking a 16-year-old boy down and kicking him in the groin after taking a head shot from the teen in a dodgeball game."

Note To Self: This Is Not A Normal Date

Snippets from a Star Telegram Story: For 19 days, the woman told investigators, her ex-boyfriend held her captive . . . . The woman told investigators Stephenson later removed the duct tape from her head and arms, ripping out portions of her hair in the process and causing severe pain and bleeding. He then tied a rope around her feet and hung her upside down from a bedroom rafter, using a blow torch to burn her back. He then poured Drano on her injuries, the affidavit stated . . . . He locked her in a small trunk, then placed a dripping water hose in it — an apparent attempt to drown her . . . . But then there's and odd paragraph at the end [Police] said the woman’s relatives never knew she had been taken against her will by her ex-boyfriend. He said the woman’s children were being cared for by their grandmother.“They just figured she was probably absent voluntarily because she had done that in the past, been absent for period of a time,” Jamison said. “The family didn’t sense anything unusual so no missing person report was made.”

Air LeBron

I don't think I've watched an NBA game from start to finish in 20 years. But I continue to believe that LeBron James is the next Michael Jordan. The 21 year old became the youngest player ever to crack the 6,000 point barrier tonight as he scored 46 points against the Dallas Mavericks.

Immigration Chaos

With all the fighting over illegal immigrants in the news these days, one very odd constitutional provision has come to light. Two illegal immigrants have a baby? That baby is a U.S. Citizen. 14th Amendment Section 1. All persons born . . . in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

Cajun Cowboys

I don't know why I find this interesting, but last night Michael Irvin and new Cowboy Terrell Owens were spotted out on the town eating dinner. The Mansion? Three Forks? Del Frisco's? Noppers.

I Have Friends . . .

. . . that make it a habit to look at the Break.com "girl of the day". They are sooooo shallow.

It's My Prerogative

The big gossip today is that Whitney Houston's "wheels are off" when it comes to drug use. Who knows if it's true. But I feel much better about the cleanliness of my house at the moment.

Love, Actually

I've written before how much I like the opening clip of the movie "Love, Actually". It's now available at youtube.com.

Decatur and Game Shows

A faithful reader informed me that former Decatur resident Steve Simmons will be on some show on Fox tonight called "Unanimous". Based upon the pic on the web site, it appears to be true. Edit: The show looks contrived, but here's a very short video clip of Steve.

As You Prepare Your Taxes . . .

. . . you should be comforted to know that NASA has budgeted $6.2 billion for operating the space shuttles in 2007. Waste. Waste. Waste.

Kind Of An Odd . . .

TV Thought

MSNBC is giddy because Keith Olbermann's Countdown (which is very funny) beat out CNN's Paula Zahn and the show of my-most-hated-woman-in-the-history-of-ever, Nancy Grace. Here are the numbers: Countdown: 164,000 total viewers Zahn: 158,000 Grace: 154,000 Random thought: That's not many viewers for a TV show in a country of 300,000,000 people. Then again, that's mighty big talk for a man whose Blog averages 600 viewers a day in a county of 60,000.
