Not Part Of Job Description


Note to all Campus Police Officers: Do not take topless pics of a sixteen year old student and don't give her $50 in the process.

But a sentence of 20 years as part of a plea bargain seems a bit harsh. But it's Williamson County where they're crazy.

I Feel Very Confident In Saying . . .


. . . that big city lawyers don't have the county court at law court reporter drop by on a Monday morning and place a pot bellied pig on their desks.

But he was kind of cute.

Giggle



You paint a big B on your belly for a Baylor game and catch a little sun. Good times.

Wise County Seeks Biligual Election Workers

I'm just saying.

One Time, At Band Camp


I saw the headline and wondered if any Wise County schools advanced. Sheesh.....only Bridgeport, Decatur, Boyd, Paradise and Chico.

Did the Alvord band oversleep?

I Saw What?


Sometimes I do a double-take when things appear on what I call a television.

From The AIr Show Today - Reader Submitted


I'm Desperately . . .


. . . working on a stay of execution. Although this will be cruel, it will not be unusual.

Edit: It's halftime and I hereby declare a Moral Victory over The Evil Empire. Sure, this will end up disastrous but for the moment the world is spinning off its axis.

Oh, My!


A faithful reader has advised that this girl used to work in a restaurant in Decatur, and has now made it to the big time by being Miss Apirl in a calender produced by the "Lex and Terry Show." Hence, her name, "Jamie aka The Pie Girl." She apparently was on the radio show this morning.

Edit: Yeah, I didn't post some of your comments. I believe in free speech unless if defames hot women. Look it up. It's in the constitution.

MTV Been To Town?

Somebody pimped the ride of the Deputy Chief Fire Marshal in Decatur!

And Another

Looks like we have another motorcycle death in Dallas. The news story said his condition was unknown. WBAP told me it was a fatality.

Death Can't Touch Us

A faithful reader points out that today's edition of the Update does not have a single funeral announcement in it. How are we supposed to begin our day without that little pick-me-up? And anyone remember when the Update used to print who had been admitted to the local hospital?

Random College Football Thought

For those that care, you probably know that #2 South Florida lost last night at Rutgers. They had previously defeated Auburn and West Virginia which makes this preseason prediction from my Sporting News a little eerie:


And for those that don't care:

Jack County's Jagged Edge


Some might remember the murder trial against Hardy Capps that occurred over in Jack County some time back.

The Fort Worth Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction yesterday.

The beginning of the court's opinion reads:

Lane Akin, the Texas Ranger who investigated the murder, testified that when he arrived at the scene, he discovered a pickup truck parked by the side of the road. The truck=s window was down, and the engine was still running. Inside the truck, he found a two-year-old child, unharmed, strapped into a car seat. In a ditch beside the truck, he found the body of Gina Capps. Akin observed both slash and cut wounds to the body. He concluded that there had been a struggle outside the truck and that a knife had been used to cause the wounds during the struggle. The medical examiner testified that the complainant was killed with a knife with a serrated edge.

He's Still An Idiot


But if you are familiar with the E-Bay auction regarding the letter from Harry Reid (and others) to Rush Limbaugh's "boss", you can watch the last couple of hours of it here.

Edit: The best part is that Rush promised to match the winning bid (all of which will go to some charity). He probably "misunderestimated" how high it would go.

Told You He Was Gone


Story. But since Baylor plays The Evil Empire this weekend, it was probably a smart decision. Only a 70 foot Texas Ranger will prevent the worst massacre since the FBI routed David Koresh.
