"One Time, At Band Camp"

Yep, same girl. And this is posted solely in celebration of March Madness which officially begins at 11:20 a.m. (Tech plays 5 minutes after that and the Aggies play at 2:00 p.m.) Baylor, uh, not so much.

Happy St. Paddy's Day Eve Eve

You Can Now Easily Change Directions

Even thought the Update mentioned it first, I saw this morning that the turn lanes at 730 and 287 are now open after months of government ineptness. No more barricades. Freedom is ours!

So everyone go do a U-Turn in celebration of a project that took nine months instead of nine weeks to complete.

This Guy . . .

. . . is all over the news this morning after alleging confessing to plotting 9/11 during a hearing in Guantanamo Bay (how many people are down there again?)

Anyway, the only thing I can think of when I see his picture is the late John Belushi. And that's the largest neck of any t-shirt I've ever seen.

Shocking Southpark Episode Everyone Is Talking About

Edit: Incredible. It has, in fact, been taken down since last night.

But the clip had a Southpark resident being on the Wheel of Fortune grand finale. The clue was "People that annoy you" with the exposed letters of "N_GGERS". An explanation in text doesn't do justice to what happened next.

Bridgeport Senior Prom?

Took me a while to see all five people in there.

I Don't Know

Contemplation

This guy, Brian Cantrell, was killed in what is believed to be a road rage incident in Fort Worth last August. I'm constantly reminded of it because there is a huge picture hanging on a tree where his vehicle came to rest. It's kind of a make-shift memorial that goes on and on, and I drive by it whenever I go to a driver's license hearing. (It's located on the south side of I-30 off of the Bryant-Irvin exit.)

I stumbled across his still alive myspace page a second ago. Although he could have picked a better name, it's pretty touching to look at.

Pretend You Are At A Concert

"The Wreckers" (who I don't know much about other than Michelle Branch is one-half of the group) were at Billy Bob's this weekend. In the middle of a song, Kelly Clarkson got up on stage for a surprise appearance. And if that interests you, you'd also be interested in this shaky youtube.com clip of the incident.

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.)
