I Think This Is The Weirdest Promotion In The History Of Ever

Nancy Grace Works For Texas?

The Texas District and County Attorney's Association produces a weekly "case summary" newsletter that outlines the week's important appellate decisions. A change in the last couple of years is the "commentary" that the author (a prosecutor) adds at the end of a case review. Although its facts are too complicated to recount here, last week the Fort Worth Court of Appeals reversed the conviction of a doctor who allegedly killed a patient who was already brain dead (and probably just plain dead). The above is the official "commentary" to that appellate case. I'm sure he thinks he is "fair and balanced" as well.

"Remember Your Dancers, Bartenders and Reporters"

This will never happen to Lari Barager.

Superdome Re-opens Tonight

Check it out on Monday Night Football on ESPN. (And U2 will appear in the pre-game show during the six o'clock hour.) I attended one game in the Superdome - the 1993 National Championship game between Alabama and Miami. Good times. (Although my friend's wife kept referring to the stadium as the "Sugar Drum".)

Romance Is Sweet

$83? That's The Face Value?

No News To Me

The Star Telegram has an editorial today on how ambiguous a recent Attorney General's opinion was on the issue of the authority of the State Board of Education. It was too boring to finish. But I do know this: Your typical AG's opinion is so full of wiggle room and exceptions that it is normally meaningless.

Man who shouted 'Tequila!' in song dies

Link. But I always picture Pee Wee Herman dancing when I hear it.

I Really, Really Don't Know

Youtube.com is driving me insane.

Overused Phrase

"I hate to lose." That, sir, does not make you unique.

Nip/Tuck

Ok, here's the "shower scene" clip involving Slater on Nip/Tuck. Warning: PG-13 (even though it's on "regular" cable TV). And it can be described simply as: G-A-Y.

Secret Video . . .

What Is Going On?

What a crazy Sunday news day. And this story may be the craziest of them all.

Just When You Think The Worst

Link. And I know it would be sensational, but I hope their is some video footage of the reunion on tonight's news.

Shocking

Charlotte Observer story here. (If you need a password, get one here.) But NBC Sports tonight is claiming the "critical condition" aspect is not true. Update: NBC says that Simms had his spleen removed and will be in the hospital for "several days."

I Seriously Question That

This guy's picture is always in an ad in the Sports Section of the DMN. It proclaims he is a 66 year old man witha 30 year old's body. And it proclaims, "this photo is not digitally enhanced."
