Trifecta

Man, this happening a lot. There was the guy from Midolothian two weeks ago, the guy in the hotel off Mockingbird in Dallas yesterday, and now this morning we have another. I'm looking supiciously at my co-workers just in case they might flip out.

CNN Doing Schtick?

Remember . . .

. . . this NFL quarterback who had a feature roll on "The Bachelor"? Well, he's been rejected. Hard.

"Would you give me a foot massage?" - Pulp Fiction

Hey, it's the National Enquirer but it's had some street cred in the past.

Legal Tired Head

(Star Telegram source) Note the last sentence indicates that he will be eligible for parole in 15 years. Actually, it will be less. The law is this: "Under the law applicable in this case, if the defendant is sentenced to a term of imprisonment, he will not become eligible for parole until the actual time served plus any good conduct time earned equals one-fourth of the sentence imposed or 15 years, whichever is less." So when he reaches 15 years (calculated by his actual time plus his good conduct time) then he becomes eligible for parole. Now if he had been convicted of a one of the "serious crimes" designated by the legislature, he would have been eligible for parole after 30 real years. (You can see that list of crimes here.)

I Was Inside Dancing to "Footloose"

. . . while outside Tara Reid was denied entrance as some girl named Paris (I think) gets to walk right in. (And I think I see the guy from "Girls Gone Wild" in there.)

Thank You, I'll Be Here All Week

College Football Season . . .

. . . opens this weekend which gives me a reason to post this pic. Go sports.

My Life Force Has Been Sucked Out Of Me

Sheesh. Not again. (From the DMN home page).

Jackass 2
I am waaaaaay too mature to see this new movie.

From Another DMN Story

County Commissioner Salaries Ellis County: $72,381 Johnson County: $65,112 Tarrant County: $116,506 Collin County: $96,471 I don't know what Wise County Commissioners make and I'm too lazy to call Katherine Canova, the County Treasurer.

Caught My Eye In the DMN

I Wish . . .

. . . I had a better close-up of this guy's face because it sooooo looks like "I want a do-over."

We Are Sooooo Uptight

Interesting story out of Frisco. A teacher gets reprimanded for taking her fifth grade class on a field trip to a museum that had (surprise!) classic, religious nude art. A caller to the Mark Davis show a second ago said, "I'd let my kid go to the Cleburne Museum but not that Dallas one." That sums it up perfectly.

Bush and Wednesday Morning

Two great clips I pulled off the Today Show this morning when Bush was interviewed in New Orleans yesterday. The first one (33 seconds) shows how he continues to confuse 9/11 and Iraq (until he is called on it.) And I'll swear he mispeaks by saying, "Did we fight the wrong war? I have no doubt." And in the second one (28 seconds) he speaks of how he has an "ecelectic" [sic] reading list. (Both are youtube format).
