Everyone That Wants To Be Referred To As A "Has Been", Raise Your Hand

Background: The White House press briefing room is being closed for 9 months for renovations. The President made a surprise visit today to greet the press corp on the last day of that famous room. It was supposed to be fun and frivolity. The very famous Sam Donaldson asks a very funny question of "Should Mel Gibson be forgiven?" Your president responds (after a few seconds) in a way that makes many of us think he has no clue on how to deal with humans.

This Pic Doesn't Do It Justice . . .

Just Experimenting With This Thing

Every Sooner Just Had A Heart Attack

And just after the Sooners were picked to win the Big 12 South over Texas. I'm sick. Story here. Edit: The premiere longhorn blog is triple happy because of the news. (And if you want to see the TV scheduled for this year's college football - and have your head spin - click here.)

The Morning After Pill

I can't believe I'm saying it, but this isn't a bad discussion about the Morning After Pill on "The View". Such questions as: If an egg has been fertilized, is it a "life" before it becomes implanted in the uterine wall? And I'm curious as to what is the percentage of fertilized eggs that never make it to the implantation stage. Of course, the conversation had to get muddled with the "rape and incest" debate. And what's Lisa Loeb doing on the show?

Football Preview Issue

The Messenger sent a proposed ad over to our law firm for the high school football preview issue that read: "Good Luck To All Wise County Football Teams." After years of seeing silly slogans like that, we finally drew the line. Our ad will instead read, "May All Your Wildest Dreams Come True." Seriously. I feel better already.

So Wrong

The Greatest Street Art In The History Of Ever

And it, and others, are real.

This . . .

. . . showed up on the Internet today as allegedly showing Mel Gibson one hour before his DWI arrest. Actually, it is just a regular guy at Frilly's last Friday.

For . . .

all you guys that are thinking "she's hot" and for all you gals that are thinking "I wish I had that body", you might want to click here. I'm so disturbed that I won't be able to go to sleep tonight.

I'm Getting My One Glove Out

So now there's a site that lets you record your own karaoke song and then share it with others. Please, please, please check out this guy's version of "Beat It" and please, please, please stick with it at least through the chorus. Triple good times.

"Let's Get Ready To Ruuuuummmmbbbblllleeee"

It looks like we had a girl attempt to run out of the courthouse yesterday once she learned there was a warrant for her arrest. She was subdued by the district court bailiff Dick Wood on the courthouse lawn but not until a County Attorney staff member (who will remain nameless but happens to be young, female, and blond) ended up in the skirmish in her skirt. Good times. Edit: There is no way I'm gonna let you guys comment on this. It would be a feeding frenzy.

Tinsel Town

My sources tell me that Fox's Prison Break will be filmed in the Decatur courthouse on Friday. If that turns out not to be true, I will expose my sources.
