Ice Storm Diversion

Jake Gyllenhaal , one of the stars of Wise County's favorite movie, Brokeback Mountain, hosted Saturday Night Live last night. He put on a dress and a wig during his monologue for shtick but was was amazing is that the guy can sing. Really sing. And the two cowboys in the audience was a funny bit. YouTube clip here.

This Kid Would . . .

. . . be on Prozac if he were a Baylor fan. (Pic from the National Championship game last Monday.)

Kill Me

Fox 4 News' John Hammarley has reported live from Gainesville three times in the last 70 minutes. Each time they show footage of some twenty-something year old Cracker Barrel employees scraping ice off their car windows. Seriously, they have ice on their windshields.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre

James Rose of Fox 4 News just reported that he had talked to the Wise County Sheriff and "he's got inmates standing by like a chain gang with chainsaws ready to cut open ways and make roads accessible." That's a funny visual.

Let's Talk Strippers

The Houston Police apparently don't have enough to do so they decided to arrest 11 strippers at a local club for various offenses. You want to see what the girls' book-in photos? Sure you do. The Smoking Gun has them.

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.
