It's My Obligation , , .

. . . to help recruit athletes that are big and fast and of any ethnicity (because I don't discriminate) to Baylor University. That being said, I would like to announce that Baylor's freshman class of 2006 was 62% female. Boys, think of the odds. Sic 'Em.

Barbaro Was the Lead Story On ABC's "World News Tonight"

Which is an excuse to post this. (And the sports blog Deadspin ran a contest at the end of last year for it's Sportsman of the Year. Barbaro beat out ESPN's Chris Berman. To see humor I love, scroll down to the pic at the bottom of this as that blog deals with the death that is Barbaro.)

It Looked Better In Person

But I snapped this looking west from the courthouse square as I was headed home tonight.

Best Of Tarrant County, 2006

I'm five months late on this, but I love it.

Kevin Federline (Britney's Ex) . . .

. . . will be in this Nationwide commercial which will debut on TV during the Super Bowl. You know, it's pretty funny.

First Wade Phillips . . .

. . . and now I learn possible Cowboys' head coach Norv Turner has a hot/actress daughter.

Pete Delkus Is Doing Push-Ups In Preparation

An Actual Continuing Legal Education Course

That "Add to Wish List" button kinda has a double meaning.

Politics

Looks like former Bridgeport resident Allen Vaught (who recently won election to the Texas Legislature) ended up on the Criminal Jurisprudence committee. That's a little odd since he's never practiced criminal law (with the exception of a couple of court appointments in Wise County.) But he'll do fine.

Follow Up

A couple of weeks ago I posted about a semi-hot New Orleans Saints fan who had an objectionable slogan on her, uh, T-shirt. Low and behold, she is now in Maxim magazine, and I'm now prepared to drop the "semi" from "semi-hot". (Link is here but do not click on it if you think Maxim is not good reading material for Wise County or if otherwise offended by scantily clad - but not nekid - women. You've been warned.)

Dead Of Death

The horse that received enough medical care to bankrupt an HMO has passed.

That's Like, What, 33%?

Bad Picture By Me . .. .

. . . but this bumper sticker on a van up by the courthouse this morning stopped me down.

I Would Never . . .

. . . rank the top ten hottest figure skaters. But somebody did.

Dick Cheney vs. Nancy Pelosi: The Blink-Off

I think both of them are not human.

People Send Me Crazy Pictures . . .

. . . so I post crazy pictures.

Now . . .

. . . me loves me some Ms. Kentucky.

There Will Be A Delay Of Game

Hey, idiots. Three, count 'em three, high school kids grab the rim causing the backboard to break. And the crowd acts like they've witnessed the Second Coming.
