God's Lawgivers

I think I figured out why Phil King is popular in Wise County. Today, a group called Texas Freedom Network Education Fund has just issued its latest report on the religious right’s influence on Texas government called "God’s Lawgivers? Carrying the Water for the Religious Right in Texas Government." King made the very elite list. If you want to read the full report, it is here (warning: It's a 67 page .pdf file.) The screenshot above is good enough. Suffice it to say, King is big on the restriction of abortion rights and now moving into the area of limiting stem cell research.

I Bet The Corruption Is Unreal

ABC World News tonight had a story on $12 billion dollars IN CASH sent to Iraq between May 2003 and June 2004 to help with the reconstruction of the country is missing. And no one know where it went.

I'm Telling You All I Know

A faithful reader emailed me this pic today with this note: "A friend sent me this picture that was captured from a trailcam at their deer lease over this last weekend. They are asking me to help determine what this is -- I told them to find a new lease immediately??? It is a little eerie. I thought your loyal bloggers could offer some suggestions on the beast." Edit: Being a huge skeptic, I'm not convinced the pic is real. But the guy that sent it to me thought it was legit.

I Can Wear One Of My Eight Wedding Rings Instead

With the passing of football until fall (and the beginning of my annual February & March depression), I try to think of positive things. For example. I played fantasy football but I don't deserve to be banished to Nerdville, U.S.A. like any guy that would order one of these.

I Am . . .

. . . absolutely insane now.

"I'm the F to the E, R, G the I the E"

Hey, Now

More HPV Flying Around

This HPV vaccine debate is really heating up - Jeff Crilley of Fox 4 is even on the story!!!! Jeff Crilley!!! And I learned Sen. Jane Nelson is against the executive order so God must be in favor of the vaccine. But Gov. Perry might want to get a spokesperson who looks old enough to actually get the vaccine without parental consent.

Rick?

As I tuned in (for a few brief minutes, at least) to the A&M / UT basketball game tonight, I think I saw Gov. Rick Perry engaging in some satanic aggie ritual.

I Wonder . . .

. . . if a crazed American astronaut would make a good 7th wife? (After all, she did drive all the way from Texas.) Edit: I learned this morning she wore a diaper from on her journey from Texas to Florida so she wouldn't have to stop and go to bathroom. I love this woman. Edit #2: And if you wonder why I like Wikipedia so much, this lady's entry is already up to date.

Chico Supports Salma

Or at least you think they would.

The Craziest Question In The History Of Ever

I was asked a moment ago at the courthouse, "Can the parents of a sixteen year old girl consent to the marriage of their daughter to a 61 year old registered sex offender?" That's not one that I know the answer to the top of my head. But if I had to guess, I'd guess the answer is "yes". Edit: Apparently the question had arisen when someone was trying to obtain a marriage license from the county clerk's office.

Jenny McCarthy Went To A Super Bowl Party

Jay-Z Made A Wise County Court Appearance

I was in a protective order hearing this morning at the courthouse when someone's phone went off. Always a tense scene. But this one was pretty funny since the ring tone fired off, "Show me what you got lil' mama. Show me what you got lil' lady."

What R U Wearing?

Cyber-sex with a minor through text messaging? While I was pondering that, I stumbled across the alleged victim in this case. A person who happens to go to a Wise County high school that starts with a "B". (Call that a cyber-tease.) Story Edit: Completely ignore the Wise County reference. It's McKinney Boyd High School. But you would never know it from just reading the story.

2-5-62

The late psychic Jeanne Dixon proclaimed that the Anti-Christ would be born on February 5, 1962 by saying: " "A child, born somewhere . . . shortly after 7 a.m. (EST) on February 5, 1962, will revolutionize the world. Before the close of the century he will bring together all mankind in one all-embracing faith. This will be the foundation of a new Christianity, with every sect and creed united through this man who will walk among the people to spread the wisdom of the Almighty Power. " It's down to me and Jennifer Jason Leigh. (But I left out the "Middle East" birthplace in the quote - it kinda ruined it. )
