"We'll Look For You On YouTube There, Janey!"

And I thought Fox News was stuffy.

As I Blew Past The Country Music Awards . . .

. . . I saw that Brooks & Dunn won for "best country duo." Uh, you might want to breath some new life into country music there, buddy. I haven't listed to C&W in the past 15 years and when I last left it, Brooks & Dunn was the big act. (And, as a side note, they are playing that John Mellencamp commercial again. Losing . . . life . . . force . . . . )

I Miss Bill

Clinton campaigned last night as the mid-term elections are finally here. This quick blurb is how he summarizes the Republican "politics of fear". Spot on, bruther. Spot on.

Pamela Anderson On Saturday

I don't remember ever seeing something like that at Walmarts.

I Really Don't Know

More Stumbling As I Ponder The Size Of Schools

I thought Mansfield was a small town. Three monster high schools? When did that happen?

Enrollment Figures

I just stumbled across it.

And I Used To Think Jumping A Curb Was Dangerous

Youtube.com video here. If I were to go mountain biking on a narrow path above a ravine, and my two buddies said, "Be careful, that's a helluva drop," not once but three times... well, maybe I'd get off my bike and walk it. But that's just me. S Bomb Warning.

Still Not A Good Enough Reason To Watch Oprah

Kirstie Alley shows up today in her newly slimmed body (she dropped 75 lbs). I have no idea why all the photos look like a grainy 1970 eight millimeter film.

This Isn't The Most Exciting Video In The World

But the Sheriff has released a surveillance tape of a possible copper theft. Youtube has it here. The official message: Investigator Mike Neagle is working a theft case which occurred between Bridgeport and Decatur. The suspects were able to make away with a large amount of copper wire. Attached is a short video, which may be possible suspects. If you recognize the vehicle and or potential suspects, please contact the Wise County Sheriff's Office at 940.627.5971. From your crime-fighting Blog.

All "Dateline". All The Time

So 20 guys get arrested in the North Texas sting, "To Catch A Predator." Thumbs up: Not a single Wise County name on the list.

As A Follow Up to The Ex-DA Suicide

I noticed that Dateline NBC may actually have been rolling tape when the cops went to his door - and then the gun shot went off. In an unrelated case, former DFW investigative reporter Marty Griffin (Michael Irvin's buddy) was recently about to out a pastor for "illicit" activity when the pastor killed himself. There's a fine line between reporting news and creating news. And isn't it amazing that people will choose death over public shame.

At Least He Has The Guts To Say It

Most politicians would have dodged that little issue. Story.

The Privates Will Be The Downfall Of Society

Full story. Dallas Morning News has better coverage. It seems like it was part of the Dateline "To Catch A Predator" sting.

Funny

The Today Show had a brief return appearance of Borat this morning after "his" movie was #1 at the box office (and I sooooo want to see it.) Anyway, and exuberant Borat grabs Matt Lauer and says, "Matt, I want to celebrate tonight, do you know name of good prostitute?"

A Christian Sir Mixx A Lot Video

This google video is a repost. But it's still kind of clever.

Little Glass Houses For You and Me

The sex scandal involving Pastor Ted Haggard broke this week. He first denied any impropriety, then admitted buying meth from a "homosexual" but not using it, then the church's elders announced that he had engaged in sexual impropriety, and then he admitted as much in a letter read to his mega-church this morning. I had never heard of this guy until three days ago. But this clip from a movie called "Jesus Camp" is now pretty interesting.

I Take It Back

I earlier said that the John Mellencamp "This Is Our Country"/Chevy commerical hadn't been played as much as the Jessica Simpson ad. I take it back. Never in the history of ever has a commercial ran so many times in such a short period. It is seriously putting me over the edge. Thank goodness at least one soul created a parody of it on youtube.com.
