"Gary From Decatur"

. . . just called into the Mark Davis show on WBAP. "It's almost not worth working any more. All you make just goes to taxes and the government is just gonna give it away. And this immigration thing? There's just no way that is right." Attaboy, Gary. Way to give to The Man and The Mexicans all in three sentences.

Sexier Than Phil King: The Lady That Killed The Nazi Cam

One final nail for the City of Rhome, according to the Star-Telegram. One interesting twist is that an officer that operated the camera for Marble Falls but who was paid by Nestor was questioned about a potential conflict of interest.

"All I Want To Do Is Kill Stuff, Daddy"

I'm not prepared to say this is real, but allegedly some 11 year old kid killed this hog on May 3rd. The source (with more pictures) is here. I was a little disturbed at the description of the killing, but almost laughed at loud at the note that a member of Lynyrd Skynyrd called the kid to congratulate him. Feel free to guess the state.

Sometimes I Get Distracted From The Lead

One of the big stories today is that the President of the World Bank, Paul Wolfowitz, had resigned after catching a bunch of heat for engineering a $60,000 raise for an employee who just happened to be his girlfriend. That's her in the pic, Shaha Riza.

It's just a thought, but if I had "President, World Bank" on my business card, I think I'd be dating somebody like "Winner, Miss World Pageant."

Brit Has One Crazy Closet

And I love every single outfit.

Sell Your Car. You Can't Afford To Drive It.

Pic taken this evening.

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.

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.
