Some People . . .

. . . aren't mature enough to handle the news.

PETA Nude Protest

PETA, a good friend of Wise County deer hunters, promised a Nude Protest today in downtown Dallas. Despite having very racy ads in the past, this Nude Protest was "as advertised" with the exception of the very important "nude" part. This camera phone pic (not mine) is the only evidence of the protest so far. Them there girls ain't nude. I'm so mad that I'm off to eat a steak. And I hate steak.

Brain Numbing

As I sit here, I'm watching a Motion to Suppress hearing in the County Court at Law. James Stainton is questioning a TABC Officer regarding the circumstances surrounding an arrest. Thomas Aaberg is here for the State.

This ain't anything like Law and Order.

Abilene Progressive?

The Abilene PD has announced that it will videotape every single confession. Tremendous. There is no reason why every law enforcement agency in Wise County shouldn't do the same. Every now and then Ive seen an agency at least audio record a confession (but I haven't seen a video confession except in two or three cases over the years.)

Tori? Kelly?

What in the heck is going on out there?

It's National Signing Day . . .

. . . the first day that high school kids can sign letters of intent to play college football. Baylor's only recruit is a 5'7" 145 lb. linebacker out of Muleshoe, but he may have changed his commitment to Prairie View A&M.

Honoring The Sabbath

Sex Does Sell

If I owned a company named Rick's Cabaret, I wonder if I would pay $4.9 million for a topless bar in the Dallas - Fort Worth area. Well, yes, I would? No name yet of the soon to be bought out club. You can even own a part of the company.

Don't Hit The Snooze

The Star Telegram had a story for new start times in Keller ISD next year. Tell me Wise County doesn't start at 8:00 a.m. or 7:45.

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.
