Random Tennessee Titan Cheerleader Pic

Let's all band together to stop this offensiveness.

Or not.

Elle McPherson At 43

Goodness! I think it is unfair that the woman has had to live all her life under such strict pressure to stay thin. She should move to Decatur - Sheesh, she could gain a good 20 or 30 pounds and still qualify as smokin' hot. Anyway, she'd be free to eat all the McDonalds, Arbys, Jack in the Box, and Burger King that she wants. And if she wants to get all high-tone on a Saturday night she could grab a Chicken Fried Steak at K-Bobs. Or maybe a big old steak at Cow Camp.

It's Raining Men

Republican Senator Larry Craig is under some heat today after it was revealed he pled guilty to the lesser charge of "disorderly conduct" after allegedly trying to solicit some homosexual sex in an airport bathroom.

The offense report is here. He claimed he pled guilty without the benefit of a lawyer. He needed one.

He just gave a press conference. I think he uttered, "I'm not gay" about 10 times.

Depth Perception Challenged

Actually Six . . .

. . . until the Pirates invade SMU in Dallas (I've never been to that stadium.) Coach Mike Leach is crazy. Me loves me some crazy.

Wow

Just got word that my first court partner ever in the Tarrant County DA's office died last night while watching television with his wife. He was younger than me.

Edit: The Star Telegram now has an article on him. (But I was wrong about his age.)

My Gift . . .

. . . to all Wise County dairy farmers.

A Faithful Reader . . .

. . . with a fancy camera sent me this pic he took this morning of the lunar eclipse. Quite frankly, I'm not really sure I understand the lunar eclipse, and I didn't feel like staggering out into my lawn to look at it. But the picture is cool.

Now a solar eclipse is cool. I think the last big one we had was in the 1970s. And I'm not sure when a big one is coming around again.

In Case You Missed It

Yesterday it was announced that Mark Cuban will be on this fall's Dancing With The Stars. Get ready for the white man over-bite to break out.

1992 Barcelona Olympics

I wish I had found this for a Father's Day post. We all need a little inspiration every now and then just to finish. Even if we don't win. Just to finish. (Thanks to www.bagofnothing.com for finding it.)

Hey, Now

I'm so used to seeing Renee Zellweger as a plump Bridget Jones that this new pic was a nice surprise. Eating disorders, while tragic, have some healthy benefits.

College Football Starts This Saturday

Well, actually LSU and Ole Miss (I think) are playing on Thursday. But I'll wait until Saturday to officially celebrate the Third Holiest Day of the Year. (I'm respecting Easter and Christmas although Christmas has the edge in the #1 position because there is always some football game being played that day.)

But I'm struggling. Baylor is playing at TCU. In the past, I would always go to something like that. But Baylor is a 21 point underdog which, by the way, is freakin' unbelievable. How have those pseudo-Christians become a constant Top 20 team while the God-Fearing-Baptists always face a third and 20? But I digress. It'll be hot, there will be traffic, and I really don't want the hassle of being hit on by TCU coeds. But I'll probably break down and go and maybe, just maybe, I'll get to witness a Miracle On The Trinity. Or I'll leave at halftime with Barry Tears rolling down my Barry Cheeks.

Sic Em?

I'd feel much better about good old Baylor's football team if these guys didn't look scared to death on the cover of the newly released media guide.

"You mean, we have to play Oklahoma, TCU, Tech, A&M, and The Evil Empire? Like play as in football? Tackle football?"

Hey Brit, Careful With That Cigarette

Which Comes To A Surprise To His Deceased Father Who Thought He Lived A Pretty Good Life

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales resigned this morning. He didn't say much except to throw out a confusing statement.

Creative Spam

I get tons of spam, and lately its been in the form of fake e-greeting cards.

But I got this one this morning (click to enlarge). I'm not married to "Pat" so it didn't make any sense, but directing me to a youtube clip with the explanation of "What were you thinking?" kind of got my attention. However, it wasn't a youtube clip at all - it would have directed me to somewhere else.

Edit: I got a couple more today. Here's one of them...

When Did This Happen?

Fox 4 News did a story on a "four wheeler" park soon to be open Bridgeport operated by the city.

I Live In The Hood

I thought my neighborhood was fairly safe, but I noticed one of my neighbor's Escalade was up on blocks this morning. And that's not because he's making repairs. It's because a freakin' gang of crooks that work like a Nascar pit crew stole all his wheels.
