That Dang Internet
A group of people down in Cleburne decided to do an Open Records Request to the school district and then decided to create a web site and post some of the questionable expenditures.
Get In The real world.
From the Texas Prosecutor's Web Site:
“I would be willing to bet—for all those people who testified against this bill, I’ll buy their lunch and dinner all next year if they can find one murderer in Harris County who is on deferred adjudication. All they got to do is bring me one. And I’ll bet you one of the things is—I’ll bet you he’s not black.” Rep. Harold Dutton (D-Houston), testifying before the House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence on HB 800, his bill to allow expunctions of any successfully-completed deferred adjudication, in reference to prosecutors who testified against HB 800 because the bill would apply to murderers, rapists, robbers, and others dangerous criminals.
Give me 15 minutes in the District Clerk's office and I'll find you one. I suspect many, many times in Harris County, a prosecutor was holding a murder file that sucked. A dead witness, a serious self-defense issue, a senior-citizen-mercy-killing, etc. and, instead of dismissing it, he was able to cut a deal for deferred adjudication probation. (Although the "I'll bet you he's not black" was pretty funny.)
She Beat Me To It
I don't watch American Idol but I've seen news coverage of this kid wailing over some mop head singer. I was going to say the kid seems a little goofy but C4U beat me to it. Edit: Sheesh, this kid is on The Today Show. Edit #2: She's 13? I thought she was 8.

Cop Gone Wild
If you want to see an off duty Chicago cop beat the crap out of a little female bartender, you can do so here. (Man, it's crazy.)
Edit: Now on youtube.com.
I saw it on Fox4News tonight . . . although I can hardly move because I'm entranced by the beauty of Megan Henderson.
TheBaylor Women's Basketball Team Lost Last Night
And our General of All Things Baylor Women felt the pain in the second half. There are rumors that the Evil Empire, whose long time coach just retired, might want her.
Get thee behind me, Satan.
Know Your Rights With The PO-lice
Quick eight question quiz. I got 7 or 8 right (but I should get them all right because it is what I do for a living every single day.)
Hint on question #7 that I got wrong: The word "random" should appear in the question. I was screwed.
Drug Running Boat?
Snopes.com says it's true.
And I'd guess that a 250 HP outboard would run you $15,000 a piece. (But it has been forever since I've priced a boat motor.)
Do You Think . . .
. . . when this man was a cute little bitty baby and his parents took him home from the hospital and placed him in his crib, that those parents ever thought this headline would be associated with that bundle of joy?
(If you must, story here.)
I've Found Future Wives 9 through 18 . . .
. . . all in one place.
(Once again, I'm offended by Spring Break.)
Edgumacation
Someone collected a few short youtube.com clips of everyday life at James Madison High School in Dallas.
Shoot Me . . .
. . . if I'm ever in a Senior Citizens Center and actually want to be visited by clowns. Young private nurses, yes. Clowns, no.
(You can bail on the video after about a minute).
Marriage Is Grand
Did you catch the 911 where this guy admitted to shooting his wife in North Richland Hills. He said she had "enticed" him and "ridiculed" him all his life.
I thought that was the basis for really good relationship.
