CBS's Vern Lundquist Watches Happy Pants

This was after last Sunday's basketball game where Florida won the SEC Tournament. I wonder how many DFW people don't know that Vern used to be the Channel 8 sport's guy before Dale Hansen was Dale Hansen. Huh?

Small Pic . . .

. . . but an awful looking crash on 114 just west of the Texas Motor Speedway yesterday.

Let Me Sound Like A Republican

I think this so-called "scandal" over the firing of a handful of U.S. Attorney's by Bush is silly.

U.S. Attorneys are the equivalent of District Attorneys but, instead, they are in the federal system. And there is one huge difference: U.S. Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President. He can fire them for whatever reason he wants.

And whenever a new President from a party other than the incumbent is elected, he fires all of the sitting U.S. Attorneys.

(But Alberto Gonzales is ill-qualified for the position of Attorney General.)

9/11

I had seen footage shot by the French documentary team of the first plane flying into the World Trade Center but I have never seen this footage of the second plane. (It occurs at 54 seconds in.)

Baby, we'll miss you. And may you be released from the smothering bonds of the Code of Conduct that comes with your soon to be retired title. Godspeed.

Taco Bell Chaos

And this is after three cars gave up.

Secret Lover

This kid, who admittedly had sex while 17 with the 29 year old wife of his high school principal, was on The Today Show this morning.

One word: Goooooofy.

And the principal's wife was/is hot.

Mark Cuban Predicted This

He said that Google would never buy YouTube.com because once they did (thereby creating a deep pocket)they would be sue into oblivion. As goofy as he is, he might be right.

Story.

Sounds Bad

Wreck this morning per the Update.

Edit: I used to drive down that road every day a few years back, and it was incredibly dangerous. But at least the whole thing has been rebuilt to provide shoulders and a couple of turn lanes. The intersection where the accident happened is normally pretty open with a great line of sight - the fog must have messed with it this morning. Possibly.

It's Kind Of Hard To Tell Who A Republican Is Anymore

Rudy Giuliani, the Republican front runner for president, firing off some extremely pro-choice (with your money) positions in 1989. Regardless of the comments, I think this guy is a complete spare. He walked down the streets of Manhattan on 9/11 and was somehow transformed into a "leader." He's got a big bag of nothing.

Star-Telegram story is here. WBAP is reporting that three workers are "missing" but I haven't heard the name of their employer. KXAS has some pretty dramatic photos accessible from its home page.

Edit: Star Telegram now reporting that all employees are accounted for.
