Typing Errors

A faithful reader (whose real life job is to write down exactly what she hears), called me to complain about the numerous typos in the preceding blog entries. I immediately canceled her subscription.

Bad Liberal

Someone just pointed out to me that the courthouse will be closed on Monday in honor of Martin Luther King, J. Day but that my office will be opened. He said I should have my Liberal Card revoked.

Rhome. Rhome. Rhome.

They do the strangest things in Rhome. A former Rhome cop investigates the current chief and makes a recommendation to the council. The council fires the police chief. The council then considers hiring the former cop that conducted the investigation as the new part rime police chief.

Greg Oden

I don't much about this guy other than he's a 7' freshman basketball player for Ohio State that would probably be the first pick in the draft if he decides to go pro. He's definitely got game.

Saddam Hussein Second Video

The release of the second video of Saddam has been in the news over the last three days. Some claim that it shows his throat/neck was cut. I doubt that. I don't think any of use know what a rope would due to our neck if we were hanged. The video is here. Don't yell at me for posting it. Don't click on it if you don't want to see a dead body. (After all, how can you be offended by the product of this new democracy? Unless the democracy is nothing more than a lynch mob.)

I Would Never Post This

Not Me. Not Me. Not Me.

Story.

Very Odd Memory

A story in the news today concerns a headstone found in Richland Hills of an infant that was buried around 1900. People are scrambling to figure out who the child was. Twenty-one years ago, during a summer break from law school, I took a girlfriend home to Wise County to let her see where I grew up (the relationship quickly ended for obvious reasons.) Anyway, we had an afternoon to kill so I took her to those plateaus that are west of Bridgeport. You know, those small mountains that are flat at the top - the ones that you can see for miles but no one talks about. I had remembered an old cemetery being up there - and by "up there" I mean on the top of one of the plateaus. Being a little strange even back then, I took my unsuspecting girlfriend to that remote location. I had never actually been in the cemetery and, once we arrived, we found it to be in a state of total disrepair. Weeds were high. Most of the headstones were broken. The place seemed to be abandoned. But I remember seeing grave after grave of infants that had died at the turn of the century. Unless I'm crazy, I could swear that some of the headstones had dates in the 1890s. I've never met anyone that has been to that cemetery.

Poor Judgment

One involving an affair and a cover up. One that involves the death of over 3,000 young men and women. I miss the 1990s.

Delayed Reaction

After posting the pics and specs of the Apple iPhone the other day, I'm so disappointed in myself for not saying, "I don't know what all that means, but I wooooont it."

Important Sports Note

The University of Florida won the national championship. The team will have Tim Tebow as its quarterback next year. This is a picture of Tim Tebow and his girlfriend. I thought it was important that we all got to know Tim Tebow. Source.

Sooooo Wrong

Soooo Immature

I Didn't Know . . .

The University of North Texas had opened up a Dallas campus, nor did I know the new school had its own colors and mascot, nor did I know that mascot would be a jaguar.

Other Blogs Talk About What We Talk About The Day Before

From The Blog of D Magazine:

David Ware, a Garland softball coach, is expected to turn himself in either today or tomorrow for liking wrestling. I mean really liking wrestling. As this story states, Ware is "accused of videotaping a girls wrestling match for sexual pleasure." His lawyers are going to challenge the 2001 law with the "Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Are Hot" defense. Attorney Scott Palmer says,

"If you go to a Cowboys game and take a close-up shot of their cleavage, are you committing the same offense because you think that has sex appeal? Apparently you are under this statute."

But Grand Prairie Sgt. John Brimmer points out that the wrestlers Ware filmed were much younger. Brimmer also says,

"This was more than accidental footage of the genital areas. It appeared to be a purposeful act of zooming in."

Developing. (Source) I know that Scott Palmer. Funny guy. And I made that argument in a Skattershooting in August of 2001 (except I used a bikini contest in Padre Island as my example)

Crazy Sports Story

David Beckham, married to Posh Spice (pictured), has agreed to join the United States soccer club of the Los Angeles Galaxy for a reported $250 million over 5 years! That amount of money is insane. The Yankees could possibly afford that but not some spare American soccer team who last year had an average attendance of 20,814. Where in the world do they get that kind of money?

My Firstborn Would Probably Win This Competition

I stuck through about three and half minutes before I pulled out of my trance. I think it might be gay to listen to a 7.5 minute Madonna remix.

Pete Delkus Is Magic

The heir to Troy Dungan as the WFAA weatherman just told me that the Arctic Blast will arrive "around 9:00 in the morning" on Saturday. Since it's only Wednesday, he should have it down to the minute by Friday. I'm thinking 9:06 a.m.
