Uh, Oh

I noticed that the unbeaten Decatur Eagles will draw Abilene Wylie in this week's bi-district playoff game: A little history between the two: 2004: Abilene Wylie wins a playoff game, 14-13 2005: Abilene Wylie wins in a regular season game

I'm So Depressed . . .

. . . that I started thinking about Baylor Women's Basketball - the only sport, sadly, of which we do not suck. But then I became distracted with the coach's shoes. Back to traffic.

And It's Not Even Halftime!

We are inept, uninspired, poorly coached, poorly conditioned, and have made little progress from the laughingstock we have been over the past few years. I'll be walking around in traffic the rest of the day - in my dress blues.

Negative Pre-School Campaign Ad

Here. Funny stuff.

Oh, My

I don't think I've ever heard of such a thing happening. (Messenger is the source here).

Wal-Mart Getting All Gayed Out?

Read the story, a boycott urged by the American Family Association, here. To determine if the story is true, click here. (Basically: Yeah, kinda." Less than careful readers might miss that the 5% donation applies only to sales made through the Metro DC [Gay and Lesbian] web site — that is, purchases made at Wal-Mart stores or through Wal-Mart.com are not part of the'5% donation' scheme." And if you boycott, be sure to boycott in Christian Love.

I've Got A Question

Who in the heck is this guy and why is he making more appearances than Ann Coulter trying to pimp a book? Edit: Some answers here and here.

Brittany Murphy Is 29 Today

I think this is from "Sin City."

"I'm 100% Sure That's The One Who Did It."

Mistaken identity leads to a week in jail before things got cleared up. You think there are a few people down in Huntsville that weren't quite so lucky?

Not Shocked Here

The mental health system is woefully inadequate. A running joke around the courthouse is "If someone is crazy, send them to Vernon - they'll cure 'em." (Vernon is where one of the state mental health facilities is located.) That's based upon the experience that no matter how many people are found incompetent prior to trial, they will magically be found competent after a few weeks of treatment some state expert.

Interesting To Me

Story. Man, there are some long term prosecutors that got the axe (by letter, no less.) I have always refused to take cases out of Denton County because its simply a horrible place to work. Prosecutors, with a Nazi attitude, didn't seem to have any discretion , while the courts seemed to enjoy making you show up every two or three weeks for another docket call. And you want a jury trial? Get ready for your jury panel to look like a Republican Party meeting. No thanks.

I'm Stunned This Doesn't Happen All The Time

This kid was hit by a car. I don't know why there aren't more reports of death or serious injuries just from head injuries. Story.
