I'm So Sad I Missed It This Year

I wonder if there is a site with tons of pics of the famed Byron Nelson Pavilion?

Hot Sports Opinion

The Mavericks are up 3 games to 1 against San Antonio. If they lose at San Antonio tonight, I bet they lose the series.

Freak Show

I think Jim Cramer of MSNBC's "Mad Money" is incredibly irresponsible. I used to watch him make appearances on Fox's morning program of "Fox and Friends" (I watched because I thought E.D. was hot) and he was constantly making "Buy! Buy! Buy!" recommendations. However, this was BEFORE the dot com bust. There were a lot of folks that lost money because of him. And I was one of those idiots.

The Most Obvious Observation In The History of Ever

Stay with me here: CNN had a story today about how last week's new 100 meter dash world record had been adjusted. Justin Gatlin thought he broke the 100-meter world record last Friday with a time of 9.766. Under the official rules, the time had to be rounded to the nearest one hundreth second making the time officially 9.77. Since 9.77 was the old record, Gatlin tied the world record but didn't break it. So we all now know that TWO MEN hold the world record for the fastest time ever in the 100 meter dash. Let's cut to the video tape.

Subtle

In Bush's speech the other night, I noted (thanks to a radio talk show) that the president altered the oft-heard phrase of "jobs that Americans aren't willing to do." He said: "This program would match willing foreign workers with willing American employers for jobs Americans are not doing." (Source)

Courthouse News

Looks like a civil suit wrapped up today at the courthouse where the jury rejected the plaintiffs' wrongful death claims. It appears that a newborn of Mellisa Ann Casillas and Dewey Peters died shortly after birth of "DiGeorge's Syndrome". They sued claiming that metroplex doctors Anissa August, Michael Willcuts, and Chanda Simpson were negligent in failing to diagnosis the ailment. The jury, voting 10-2, didn't agree. A courthouse filing on 1/10/05 stated that the Plaintiffs had offered to settle with Dr. Willcuts for $1.3 million. He rejected the demand. The suit was filed in Wise County because the child had been born at the Wise Regional Hospital before being transferred to Cook's. Edit: A loyal reader calls my attention to the fact that Dr. Anissa August is local.

How'd You Get Here, MeeMaa?

Would you know if your grandparents were illegal aliens? Somebody close to the President doesn't.

Crazy College Kids

Lots of pics of college athletes being hazed. (Hey, I heard about it on ESPN).

Yankeeeeeees Win

I actually watched most of the Rangers blowing a 9 run lead last night to the Yankees - a game that culminated in a walk off home run by Jorge Posada (a name which makes me think of the Mexican restaurant.) Pretty interesting graphic is this win probability chart that was updated throughout the game.

Kids Are So Funny

Ramonce Taylor, the UT running back busted for marryjuuuuwanna possession last week, has a myspace page.

So Wrong . . .

. . . for a photographer to get on his knees just to catch a glimpse of Katie Holmes' post-pregnancy belly. It is so wrong that you wouldn't look, would you?

My Eyes Are Playing Tricks On Me

If you have ever read Jacquielynn Floyd's column in the Dallas Morning News, you'll get a kick out of this.

Now Why Doesn't the Fort Worth Zoo Have That?

A bear eats a monkey at an Amsterdam zoo and, at 1:02 p.m. today, it is at the top of Yahoo's Most Viewed Stories. Isn't there some plague or pestilence going on somewhere that should be more important?

"I'm calling from my MObyle phone"

It looks like former Dallas minister Walker Railey is alive and kicking in a California chamber of commerce (based upon this photo taken from an April 28, 2006 newsletter). And I think that's Roy Eaton on the far right.
