Knee Jerk Prediction

O.J. will never be convicted because of this Las Vegas incident.

- One of the victims has already had a heart attack
- Every single witness is shady
- One of the victims was on The Today Show today saying the TMZ released audiotape had been edited (and that everyone needs to "calm down.")
- The fact that there is an audio tape at all screams "set up."
- The prosecutors added a charge of "kidnapping" yesterday which indicates they already don't know what they are doing.

Dumbest Thing Ever

From Watagua. Found by a guy who is a bar owner and a cop.

Fear The Camera

This sweet little college girl attempted to express her displeasure about a missed field goal while being broadcast live on ESPN on Saturday night. (I added that crazy little green ball over the offensive gesture because I fear the WCSO busting through my door and hauling me to 200 Rook Ramsey Boulevard if I were to show it.)

But if you want to see the youtube video of this incident (which, I warn you, is of a quality less than the Zapruder film), you can see it here.

Best Of

The Fort Worth Weekly (a great alternative weekly newspaper) has released its "Best Of" edition.

I love that stuff. Here.

Hey, Jack County.........Duck!

I Don't Know

Things Aren't Going Well For The Evil Empire

First, there is a column this morning about the multiple arrests of Longhorns this year.

Then later this morning we have new crime blotter news.

Oh, my.

"Don't Taze Me, Bro!"

I'm equally disturbed and amused by this mouthy college student and his treatment. This was all over the news this morning, but this clip gives you the full picture. And his foreshadowing line of, "Don't taze me, bro!" comes near the end. Followed by schoolgirl-like screams as the bro did, in fact, taze him. (Background: John Kerry speech at the University of Florida. Warning: A couple of F bombs.) Edit: I just heard on WBAP that the kid was "charged with resisting arrest with violence - a felony." Puuuuuleeeeezzzeeee. Edit #2: Shorter version with a different angle here.

Talk About Getting Your Guns Up

I need a faithful Red Raider to confirm this is a real pic.

I Take It All Back!

Baseball is exciting! Just watch the bat.

Somebody Explain . . .

Who is the manufacturing business?
What was the incentive?
And just what criteria does the EDC use when handing out taxpayer money?

There Are More People Attending A Boyd Footballl Game

I've debated about posting this pic, but I couldn't hold back any longer. You guys hate sports posts. I know that. I hate baseball. You know that. But this is an actual photo of a Florida Marlins game in progress held on Wednesday, September 12th.

There aren't any exceptional circumstances. No rain delay. No screw ups as to the starting time.

Just America's past time on its death bed.

Glengarry Glen Ross

I still think it's a goofy name for a movie, but I finally watched it for the first time this weekend. Verdict: Outstanding. I would have never of believed that a movie about land salesmen who do nothing but talk would be any good, but I was sorrily sorely mistaken.

And I've never really been a fan of Jack Lemmon, but he was simply incredible. If you ever want to feel the pain of the desperate American worker (and who of us haven't felt that?), watch him in action.

Cast members: Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Ed Harris, Alan Arkin, Alec Baldwin, and Kevin Spacey.

Alabama Gals From Saturday Night

Britney Training Ground?

Baylor almost got beat by Texas State this weeked. (And, by the way, read: Southwest Texas State located in San Marcos - the school tricked the legislature to get rid of the regional reference because having a regional reference in your school's name is the kiss of death.)

Anyway, some little Texas State coeds showed up in Waco for the game.

Not So Fast My Friend

As I shook my head at this headline from the Dallas Morning News today (how in the heck did that happen so often in Dallas?), I also had to tap the brakes when I read these sentences:

"Mr. Phillips also pleaded guilty to eight charges for sex crimes that police said at the time were committed by the same man who committed the rape . . . . [His new lawyer] said Mr. Phillips simply gave up and pleaded guilty to those charges."

That will make getting out of prison a very, very difficult proposition.

And With The Last Precincts Reporting . . .

And any of you guys have any suggestions for a poll question? My brain isn't working.

Finally . . .

... some positive news on an otherwise boring Monday.
