Missed This Yesterday

The 12 year old girl who had been missing after allegedly being sexually assaulted in Jacksboro, has been found safe and alive.

Luckiest Son In History Of Ever

How In The World Did I Miss This In Sunday School?

What is Christian Domestic Discipline?

A domestic discipline marriage is one in which one partner in the marriage is given authority over the other and has the means to back the authority, usually by spanking.

A Christian Domestic Discipline marriage is one that is set up according to Biblical standards; that is, the husband is the authority in the household. The wife is submissive to her husband as is fit in the Lord and her husband loves her as himself. He has the ultimate authority in his household, but it is tempered with the knowledge that he must answer to God for his actions and decisions. He has the authority to spank his wife for punishment, but in real CDD marriages this is taken very seriously and usually happens only rarely. CDD is so much more than just spanking. It is the husband loving the wife enough to guide and teach her, and the wife loving the husband enough to follow his leadership. Source.

Oh, My

You would think the Preakness Stakes, being part of the Triple Crown, would be a little high tone. Uh, no. Unless you call guys running across the tops of port-o-pottys and being pelted with beer cans high tone. Edit: And here's a shorter and more violent clip from the same event. It's like watching the Zapruder film.

I'm Pretty Sure That's Won't Be Rodeo Exchange Any Time Soon

Time magazine just landed on my desk with this article on p. 55: "The Lavender Heart of Texas: How once conservative Dallas has quietly become one the nation's most gay friendly cities." (This pic accompanied the headline.)

Topless Bar Gets Fourth Death This Year

I've mentioned this club in south Fort Worth before (links therein are dead.) Earlier this year, the cops chased a guy into it and killed him in a bathroom. And about a month later a guy goes in there and shoots a stripper (and then kills himself.)

Last night, an Everman guy was killed in the parking lot.

Let's make it a road trip this weekend.

Robbing The Hood

The Messenger's Update is reporting that Bridgeport ISD has now become a "property rich" school and, as a consequence, will be sending big bags of local tax money to the State for redistribution. You've got to be kidding.

This Guy . . .

. . . really annoys me. I can't ever listen to what he's saying because of his delivery. (And I think his attack of Ron Paul in the last debate was cheap.)

Tuesday Morning Pick Me Up

Girl sets up home made dancing pole in room. Carnage ensues. Puppy horrified. And she kind of lets out a Tony Soprano like "owwwwwww". Good times. (Warning: The girl is topless but she amazingly stays covered up.) Link: 23 second video clip. Edit: It reminded me of this, which is one of my all time favorites.

Man Wishes To Rethink Choices Right About Now

Fox 4 News had a story tonight on the arrest of an engaged couple for alleging "engaging" in very inappropriate acts with a 13 year old girl. (Arrests like this happen every day, but it made Fox 4, I suppose, because they had cameras there to film the arrest. That makes for good TV.)

The guy had an insurance agency for Nationwide (I bet they're pleased). And the 45 year old male also had a 20 year old girlfriend. Sir!

Edit: And then it dawned on me that 52 year old Bruce Willis is dating a 23 year old Playboy model named Tamara Witmer. That's completely different.

Eva Longoria . . .

. . . is all over the Internet playing volleyball today, but my "Family First" policy prevents me from posting the pic. Instead, here's Brit performing in Orlando this weekend. (My policy doesn't prevent me from telling you that it is bigger if you click on it.)

I've Wondered About This

The other day, someone in my office was slightly offended that I didn't call her back. She had left a message on my cell phone to alert me to a huge traffic jam on 287 since she knew I was headed to Fort Worth. I appreciated the call, but she wanted to know why I didn't call her back.

I told her it was the type of phone call that didn't require a return call. What was I supposed to say? "Got your message. Thanks." Yeah, that would have been polite but isn't that a waste of time?

Which gave rise to the above question today on a computer/life productivity site called LifeHacker. If you ask a question via email and get a response, do you type a one word email of "thanks" and hit reply? Unless someone has gone to a heck of a lot of trouble to find an answer for me, I don't. And I know I'm a good person. My therapist tells me so.

Deal Or No Deal

I hate this show. What should be done in 15 minutes takes an hour. But I stumbled across the last 10 minutes of it tonight which, I admit, was interesting.

A guy (I think he was the "subway hero") was down to three cases. The amounts remaining were $25, $10,000 and $1,000,000.

He could walk away with a guaranteed pay day of $305,000. He refused. I actually yelled, "Idiot!" at the screen.

The next case he chose to be eliminated was ..................... $1,000,000.

With two cases left ($25 and $10,000) he was offered $5,000 to walk away. He refused. Idiot.

So what does he end up with? $25. (Although Chrysler gave him a crappy car as a consolation prize.)

Shout Out . . .

. . . to www.BagOfNothing.com who has three great youtube clips on his site right now (cute dog playing catch, an amazing lightening strike of a tree, and a "circle of life" video that is absolutely incredible if you'll give it a chance.) Good times.

I Haven't . . .

. . . posted anything from PostSecret for a while, but this one got my attention. You know, the Asian girl does have a little sumtin' sumtin'.

The Sheriff's Office is P.O.'d

They have just released this photo in connection with the fire at Twin Hills Restaurant. That, as you may recall, seriously damaged the available catfish and hush puppies in this county. The deputies are not pleased.

Struck Me As Ironic

A guy on the one of the normally spare Dallas Morning News blogs had about four rants from this weekend. Here was #2: 2) The guy in the church parking lot in Mesquite, appearing out of nowhere and hitting me up for "gas" money just as I was leaving my granddaughter's dance recital. In front of my granddaughter! It's a CHURCH! Yeah, what's the world coming to? The thought of giving the poor some money in front of a church!

Obligatory Jack County Pic From This Morning

Literally, the last picture show.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I paid $3.28 for gas today in Jacksboro. Sheesh.
