Hmmmm

I think this is the first time that I've ever seen and open letter from a topless girl that mentions the word "prayers" twice. Normally they just say, "Barry, quit stalking me or I'm calling the Sheriff."

From her official site.

Time Waste

Word List Recall. Fifteen words will come at you, one second at a time. At the end, try to recall as many as you can. The average person can get eight correct.

Majority No More

I would think this would be bigger news today:

In Texas, the 2006 figures showed that 49.1 percent of residents were white, non-Hispanic; 35.9 percent Hispanic; 12.4 percent black and 3.8 percent Asian. In 2004, Texas joined Hawaii, New Mexico and California as a majority-minority state according to Census Bureau data.

(DMN story.)

Edit: And illegals are on their way to becoming legal.

Just Got My Issue of . . .

The Texas Prosecutor magazine (I'm like some alumni so they let me subscribe.) I always get a kick out of the photos in the publication and always look for the irony like I saw today: Prosecutors at an Intoxication Manslaughter seminar having a couple of beers at the end of the day.

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with it. Just always struck me as odd that the magazine wouldn't cut the brewskis out of the photos.

Mrs. Green #8 and Mrs. Green #9

I'd Rather Be Held At Guantanomo Bay

Sean Hannity is bringing his friends . . . Montgomery Gentry and Lee Greenwood to the Metroplex for "Freedom Concert '07" August 14, 2007 at NOKIA Theatre at Grand Prairie.

And Lee Greenwood, whose career is now based upon one song, just happens to have on an American flag shirt.

Out Of Curiousity . . .

. . . how much would you pay for this painting if you were to come across it?

It's Going To Be A Long Season

But I have a genius plan to boost attendance.

Viewership of This Silly Blog

This bottom graph represents unique viewers over the last 30 days. (Which, totaled, was the highest ever for one month by the way.) Funny how Monday is the biggest day and weekends are the slowest. You guys aren't goofing around at work are you?

But it's an average of around 1,800 unique viewers per day. By comparison, around 3,500 have paid subscriptions to the Messenger. As far as time spent looking at the two, I think I win.

(If you want to look around at the data yourself, I think you can click on the funny looking colored box at the very bottom of this page. But I'm not sure you can see the same thing that I do.)

Come On Down, Who?

I hear that Bob Barker is retiring from The Price Is Right. That really doesn't interest me. But I am interested in someone digging up a very old video clip of Vanna White being a contestant on the show before anyone had ever heard of her. But still, do you think that was just random pick out of the crowd? Uh.....get serious. And I think Bob tried to hit on her. Hey, now.

Nerdiest Blog Ever

Despite the salaciousness (<-- big word, huh?) of the topic, I'm posting the headline for another reason. I cannot believe the word "gotten" has made it into mainstream media. I was reading Newsweek this evening and saw the word at least twice. It seems so slang - even for me.

Big Tobacco . . .

. . . is trying to suck me in. I am so offended by the tactics.

I Knew She Was An Alien

Click to enlarge. I'm not real good at math, but sumpin' ain't right.

The Plague Of Alvord Students

Good luck finding lunch at Sonic, Chicken Express, or Jack in the Box in Decatur today around noon. A bus load of Alvord High School students was dumped in the Jack in the Box parking lot and they spread like wild fire to all the fast food joints. I think there were about a thousand of them, but I could be wrong.

Remember kids, stay in school and don't do drugs.

(Unrelated note: Somebody might want to tell the Whataburger folks that they can raise the U.S. flag from it's half mast status.)

Tina Fey: Funny and Hot

He Did What?

Maxim's Hottest Girl

Lindsay Lohan makes #1. And I don't even think the list was for "hot and trashy." If you want to see the list of all 100, one page at a time, go here.

The Cowboys Are Doomed

(Tony Romo and Carrie Underwood at the CMA's last night.) This guy, who has done very little, sucks up the spotlight like nobody's business. There's a weird vibe going on. And some bad karma.
