You're Out Of Order! The Whole Trial Is Out Of Order!

I just received a court appointment, by mail, on a guy who is in jail for "Contempt of Court." Unless this is for failure to pay child support, something crazy happened at the courthouse.

The "Black Widow" Arrested

Background here (too much for me to digest.) It's just kind of cool to see an arrest go down (about a minute into the video.)

Decatur Whataburger Witnessing

I don't think they mean he is in the car.

Big (Bag of a) Journey

Interesting stuff going on over at BagOfNothing.com - a blog of a friend, Keith, whom I have never met or spoken with.

Keith's Vietnamese mother died a few months back and he is on a journey to Vietnam to scatter her ashes there. Pretty moving stuff. He's been posting pictures along the way and it's been good reading. For instance, he took a four hour trip across the county yesterday and took pictures of some of the 35 Christian churches he saw.

But this picture of a "Vietnamese toilet" got my attention.

Now That's A Very, Very Bad Day

A sexual assault suspect was in critical condition Wednesday after he allegedly followed his victim to a Denton hospital, opened fire at a police officer, engaged four law enforcement agencies in a chase and took a hostage before attempting suicide at a Gainesville [IHOP] restaurant. And the guy even screwed up the suicide. He's still hanging on. Story.

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.)

Volleyball Thoughts During March Madness?

Poster At Our County Jail

2:58 In Decatur

Only 10 Days Left . . .

. . . in the glorious one year reign of Miss USA Tara Conner. (Or TAR-uh as Donald Trump calls her.)

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.
