Now That's A Crime I'm Offended By

Oh, Yeah, The Poll Results

Random Thoughts

Random Thoughts:

• Yep, played golf yesterday and I actually put one in the cup from 140 yards out. (An eagle on a par 5). I'm an absolutely awful golfer but for that one brief moment life was good. But I'm prepared to wait another 20 years for it to happen again.
• On the Emmy's tonight, the three original Charlie's Angels appeared - still not bad after all of these years.
• On Fox 4 News, there was a story about some high school girl who was sent home from Fossil Creek High School because she had pink hair. Her respect-authority-mom appeared on a video clip to call the situation the result of "stupidity" on the part of administration. Nice.
• The Terrell Owens situation is getting comical - who would have thought it would have gone down hill so fast.
• Bill Parcells never smiles - and he looks like a miserable human being.
• I rented The Marathon Man the other day - good stuff.
• I rented The Truman Show the other day - awful stuff.
• I'm now watching season one of Boston Legal - very promising stuff.
• If you want to see a very bizarre clip of an Emmitt Smith roast with Jamie Foxx absolutely gutting a struggling comedian, check this out.(But: extreme language warning.)

Philosophy of Truth

It'll be a slow Saturday here since for some stupid reason I'll be hacking around a golf course beginning at 1:00 p.m. (Is it supposed to be hot today?) But, for what it's worth, I think the situation at Everman ISD is crazy. If you don't recall, the media got all over the prinicpal at Everman High School because on the first day of class she got on the PA system and dogged the African American kids for the school receiving an academically "unacceptable" rating due to low math and science scores. One thing that was always missing from the story: Did she have facts to back it up? Yep, she did. Only 32% of the blacks passed the match and science section. So what happens? The school board president resigns (someone explain that to me), the media continues to dog the school, and the superinendent has been crying (per the normally level headed Bud Kennedy who wrote a crazy column called "Don't blame kids for unacceptable rating."

And you thought meth labs were a problem? Some places have it really bad.

That Last Paragraph Is Interesting

Ed McDonnough: You mean you busted out of jail? Evelle: No, ma'am. We released ourselves on our own recognizance. Gale: What my brother here means to say is that we felt that the institution no longer had anything to offer us.

So Heather Locklear forgets to wear a slip one day this week. I'm so proud that my readers are mature enough not to be overcome with curiosity.

As a follow-up to the very popular "drag and drop" a state game, try doing the same thing for the Middle East and the northern part of Africa. Eek.

Dallas' Daily

You'll have to be a pretty hard core Dallas Morning News reader to recognize these names, but here is a list of some of the folks who are taking a "voluntary buyout" by the paper in order to reduce its staff by 80 persons. It looks like the paper is being gutted. Doug Swanson (investigative reporter) Scott Burns (lead business columnist) Robert Dodge (Washington bureau chief) David McLemore (San Antonio bureau chief) Ed Bark and Manny Mendoza (both TV critics/writers) Lennox Samuels (Mexico City bureau chief) Arnold Hamilton (Oklahoma City bureau chief) Terry Blount (motorsports writer) Sue Smith (asst. managing editor/features) Philip Wuntch (film critic) Tom Huang (features editor) Alan Pusey (reporter) (Source)
