War on Mosquitos

Free of mosquitos? We might want to lower those goals by just a tad. (My spellchecker says "mosquitoes" by the way.)

Obama Hip Hop Ringtones

From his official site. (Here.)

From Jon Stewart's Daily Show tonight: "Like most plans for Iraq, its better when you hear it while on Ecstasy."

Crying Mug Shots

Presented by The Smoking Gun. And I've made a promise to myself that once I get arrested for Improper Photography - which I'm pretty sure can't be proven - that I'll hold it together.

He Said "Butts"

Fox 4's Good Day is pretty good because they don't take themselves too seriously. Plus, this clip allows me to watch the very hot Megan Henderson.

Oh, My

Rest of story. Yep. 40 and 16.

The guy also served as the girl's cross-country coach and here's a story from last fall (with her picture) where she talks about how encouraging he is.

Update again: Here is his picture. Another one of her.

Update again: Small pic of both of them together.

Baseball All District 8-3A

From the DMN. It might be old news (not sure), but I thought I'd post it. Softball awards are here.

What's The World Coming To?

Some guy in Houston writes about the chicken fried steak he ate in Paradise.

(Thanks to the reader for the tip.)

Bring On The Pain: Drunk Guy Backflip

To be re-enacted in newly "wet" Bridgeport this summer.

Over-Hype

Boy, this story started out with a bang and now is more rumor than fact. Yesterday, the impression was a crowd of thousands had killed a guy during a Juneteenth celebration in Austin. By last night, the story had changed to a parking lot across the street from the celebration, a crowd of about 15, and assailants that may be less than four. Moreover, the APD spokesperson said the dead guy may have only been struck one time. But I just heard the story lead ABC Radio News at the top of the hour.

Summer Begins at 1:06 p.m.

"Happy first day of Summer, Runaway Bay."

Thursday Birthday

Sheriff David Walker is one year older today.

Breaking News #2

Fox 4's story on the Embezzlement Lady revealed a more shocking development: District Attorney Jana Jones has apparently divorced her husband of over 15 years and secretly married someone named "Davis."

Developing . . .

Edit: Uh, folks, do you not see the Fox 4 News screwed up graphic that reads "Jana Davis"?

Food Question

I just bought bananas at 38 cents a pound (normally 50 cents a pound). Since I've never really noticed the price before and since I never buy bananas, do they always cost that little? If so, you can buy a bunch of bananas for almost nothing.

Breaking News

Sammy Sosa has a hot wife......and he might have hit his 600th home run.

And I was talking to my buddy Kevin Clark this afternoon who mentioned he was going to the game. He was kind of regretting it since going out to the ballpark on a "school night" is, to say the least, a beating. But he told me he had tickets to Kenny Roger's perfect game several years back and chose to go out on a first date instead. So he should be there tonight to witness a little bit of Ranger history. But it'll be kind of funny if he got distracted and didn't make it.

Background

Just saw Fox 4 News up at the courthouse. Probably Definitely here in connection with the embezzlement scandal mentioned in the Update. Kind of interesting: The allegations concern when the alleged thief, Susan Gail Ray, worked at Gasparilla Inn in Florida. (Its web site is here .) The owner, who is extremely high tone, is this man. And to think little ol' Wise County is now connected to them.

A Follow Up

What a Texas high school football official makes per game. (DMN story.)
