I'm Going To Counseling

Why didn't I celebrate the demise of my most hated college nemesis? Why do I feel a little sad? Why am I saying if Colt McCoy hadn't been knocked senseless as an MHMR patient that Texas would have won? I don't know. The world is just better when the Yankees, the Cowboys, and . . . dare I say it . . . the Longhorns are on top. We all need someone to hate. And it's better when those we hate are deserving of our hatred. I now question everything I've ever believed.

I'm So Mad That I Missed . . .

. . . Celebrity Jeopardy last week. Nancy Grace, my most hated person in the history of ever, was on the show competing against Regis Philbin and some guy from Queer Eye For The Straight Guy. I looked on The Google and found this snippet (from another blog) regarding the results: Grace, whose smile is a perpetual sneer and whose Southern accent quickly becomes even more annoying escaping from it, did show a little bit of likeability when she said she objected to the audience and that they were sucking up to Regis. In the end, Regis won by one dollar. Nancy Grace came in third, proving once again that sometimes, good does indeed triumph over dark, horrible, retching, unfathomable evil. The Democrats win the Senate and the House. Rumsfeld resigns. Britney gets divorced . . . . All in the space of 48 hours. It's as if God has woken up and all is right in the world.

Triple Ugh

Every week, the Star-Telegram's website promotes this goofy looking flash cartoon involving the Cowboys. I finally broke down and clicked on it. Trust me: Do not do the same.

I'm A Week Late On This

But do you think we could give our NASCAR winner something other than a pair of guns and a cowboy hat? And if we are going with the stereotypical, let's prop the guy up on a horse.

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.

Again and Again

Hey, Now

The "new" Britney is gonna work out just fine.

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.
