Those Conservative Judges Are So Good For America

Don't travel with large sums of money. Your government will take it. And keep it. (Link will probably appeal only to law folks, civil libertarians, or good Americans.)

For Some Insane Reason . . .

. . . I just sat through an overtime period in the preseason Cowboys/Vikings game. An overtime that included two short kicks missed by new placekicker Mike Vanderjagt. As we all go to our beaten down jobs tomorrow, we can reflect on the above paragraph written during the off season.

Throw Up A Pic Of A Hot Girl Every Now And Then And Look What Happens

Say What?

And to think I've been trying to get "Jim Bob" removed from my ankle.

Wow

And one that worked for Trophy Club. And one that had been convicted of having sex with a person he had detained while on duty. (Story).

The Thought Of Baby Birds Came To Mind

What A Coincidence . . .

. . . that is exactly what my date wore last night. Unfortunately, it was to Wednesday Night Services.

Hey, . . . . . Now Wait A Minute

Sweet and Innocent Debbie Gibson is 36 Today

Well, maybe not so sweet and innocent.

Harold Taft Was Never This Hot

No audio. Crappy video. But somehow I'm very interested in Mexican weather.

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.

I'm Hypnotized

"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.)
