Stay Classy, San Diego

Ok, you've got a 21 second news segment about oil exports in Iraq. So I guess you could blame Fox4News' Dan Godwin saying "expert" instead of "export" once. But twice? (From today's noon broadcast.)

Redneck Christmas

Channel 5 did a feature on tailgating at Texas Stadium before yesterday's game. This is a screenshot of a Christmas tree in the parking lot.

I Feel It In My Fingers, I Feel It In My Toes

You know, I love Christmas Day but I think I've decided that Christmas Eve is better. There's just an anticipation in the air that seems almost magical. But enough of that. On a materialistic note, cool gifts today: I got my mom a Roomba (that's a robotic vacuum cleaner which was a blast to watch), and I got a Slingbox.

A Little Sappy, But Not Bad

I saw this in the Dallas Morning News today. It was read this week at the funeral of Lamar Hunt by his daughter. The World Is Mine

Today upon a bus I saw a lovely girl with golden hair She seemed so gay I envied her and wished that I were half as fair Then she rose and hobbled down the aisle She had one leg, but worse a crutch, yet as she passed, a smile Oh, God, forgive me when I whine, I have two legs – the world is mine.

Later on I bought some sweets, the boy who sold them had such charm I thought that I would stop awhile, if I were late 'twould do no harm As we talked, he said, 'Thank you, sir, you've been most kind I like to talk with folks like you, for, as you see, I'm blind' Oh, God, forgive me when I whine, I have two eyes – the world is mine.

Then, as I was walking down the street I saw a strapping boy with eyes so blue, But he just stood and watched the other children play, it seemed he knew not what to do After awhile I said, 'Why don't you play with the other children, dear?' But he just stared straight ahead, and then I knew he couldn't hear Oh, God, forgive me when I whine, I have two ears – the world is mine.

Two eyes to see the sunset glow, Two legs to take me where I wish to go Two ears to tell me all I need to know ... Oh, God, forgive me when I whine, I'm blessed indeed – the world is mine.

Christmas Eve

Decatur Water Shortage

From Fox 4 News tonight: "The Wise County town of Decatur is now under a water emergency. Crews working on the 380 expansion west of Decatur cut through the town's main water supply today. Two of the city's water towers were almost drained by the rupture. The water plant's storage was, though, intact. All residents are being asked to cut water use until the line is repaired." So don't water your lawns.

Santa's List Of Female Teachers . . .

. . . who have been very, very naughty. (Here - and scroll down just a bit.) I think Carrie McCandless and Debra LaFave should receive presidential pardons for Christmas. It's the only humanitarian thing to do.

I Think . . .

. . . I'l start Post Christmas Depression early this year.

A Stocking Stuffer Idea

A former Tyler, Texas undercover drug agent thinks the War On Drugs is silly and plans to sell a video on how not to get caught.

Don't hit Santa, but it's pretty funny when you do. And I love the "ooooowwww" when you hit the Will Ferrell looking guy. Here.
