Immigration Thought

I don't care if you are a right-winger or a tree-hugging-liberal, President Bush's plan to put a few thousand National Guard troops (temporarily) on the border is nothing more than spitting in the wind. This is a perfect example of why he may very well go down in history as the worst president ever. If you believe illegal immigration is going to lead to the Spanish-Speaking-Downfall-Of-Society United States, then quit wasting billions of dollars in bureaucracy and/or the war in Iraq and build a wall on the border and enforce it with troops. At least on immigration, he has a big bag of nothing.

CNN Emergency Brake Of The Week

Sorry to be so video intensive, but you'll get a chuckle out of CNN inadvertently cutting to President Bush tonight 45 seconds before the network was suppossed to. We got to see the President briefly rehearsing his speech. You can get there from here. Edit: Sheesh, it's already on youtube.com here.

Saving Private High School Mom

Fox 4 News had a clip tonight on some Alvarado 5th grade teacher showing his class "Saving Private Ryan" at school. Of course, you had to have the very dramatic Jeff Crilley (reporter) talk about all the damage done to the young kids. But I couldn't take my eyes off of one of the mothers that was outraged. I'm forcing all of my dates to grow their hair like that and use the same eyeliner technique. Fifteen second YouTube.com video here.

Very, Very Funny

Here is the set up. A BBC in-studio reporter is sitting down to do a quick interview with Guy Kewney, editor of Newswireless.net, regarding some verdict that had been handed down aboutApple Computer and downloadable music. But here is the funny part: The guy who gets interviewed is actually an innocent cab driver and not the aforementioned Guy Kewney. The producer simply had the wrong guy in the wrong chair to be interviewed, The interview is pretty odd in that the cabbie tries to answer the questions in broken English and he has no idea how to answer. He just tries to fake it. But the first few seconds of the video are priceless. Look at the cab driver's face when he is introduced as Guy Kewney. Huge giggle. (You can stop the video at any time and take it back to the beginning by clicking on the little circle with a square black box in it near the lower left hand corner.) Video here. (And here is the real Guy Kewney's take on what happened).

How Not To Get Your Arse Kicked By The Police

A four minute bit by Chris Rock. (youtube.com video is here). It has been around for years, but it's still hilarious. I think my favorite part is the girlfriend yelling, "He got weed! He got weed!" (Language warning).

That's Faster Than Colin Jones

While one UT football running back was getting arrested, another one was doing something sensational (in a good way). Freshman Jamaal Charles won the outdoor 100 meter Big 12 Championship with a time of 10.23. (Although he can be a little difficult to understand as can be demonstrated here: an interview during a high school All Star game from the spring of 2005).

Call It a Blog - It's Just Brain Dead Space

I noticed columnist Steve Blow of the Dallas Morning News announced today that he and his bore-me-to-death feature columnists will start a blog Monday morning at www.DallasNews.com/boldtypes . He began his column with "Just call me Steve Blog - cyberdude." Kill me now. And to think he gets paid to write stuff like that. The Belo suits monitor everything they say (see The News' sports blog which is painfully boring), and they won't allow any comments.

I Don't Get It

Some 2,000+ people showed up last week at the Nokia Theater to hear Rush Limbaugh speak. You can read some of his pearls of wisdom here. I think ushers were replaced with sheep herders.

I Think Something In The 10 Commandments Won't Let Me Do This

Movie studios have balked at technology that would allow you to download a movie and then burn it to a DVD. I wonder what industry would embrace such a concept - starting Monday. I think I'll create a "Butterfield Stage Days Gone Wild" movie.

Fast But Not Fast Enough

Just noticed that Colin Jones of Bridgeport finished 7th in the 100 meters at the State Track Meet with a 10.95 second time. And I can't neglect Paradise's Loren Hodge who won two gold medals and set a state record in the 1,600 meters. As a junior in high school, a UIL official told me that I couldn't run the 100 meter dash at Burleson until I removed my fake gold necklace. I then proceeded to finish fifth in the third heat. Should have kept the necklace on.
