Might Have Another

Wednesday Afternoon Pick Me Up

I'm Torn

A Senator bears down on Kenneth Copeland ministries wanting the organization to pretty much open the books to him.

Sheesh. I hate Robert Tiltons of the world, but I also think government should butt out of any religious organizations inner workings.

WWJD?

Stumbled on this over at BagOfNothing.com Ya know, a good "Come on in and worship" just doesn't do the trick any more.

My Faithful Reader Photographer . . .

. . . came across this major accident tonight at US 287 & CR 2264. From what he wrote, this one looks "bad."

Video Fun Time

Ok, this certainly isn't the greatest video in the world, but it does have its redeeming qualities: - A tricked up beer bong shared by adults isn't something you see every day (other than at the Bridgeport Country Club on a really good Thursday night.) - Neither of the two guys with "Green" on their jerseys are me although it might be a tribute to me - The redheaded guy that never heard an "official 'go'" even though the starter screamed "go" looks like strangely like an ugly Tony Romo - I think that girl at the end might have been wife #5 before she discovered stuffed crust pizza.

One Year From The Presidential Elections

With Hillary and Rudy leading in the polls for their respective party nominations, ABC World News Tonight (which I always TIVO) took a look at what polls looked like one year before the last two elections.

One year before the 2000 Election, it was dead on (but, sheesh, how in love was everyone with W):



But one year before the 2004 election, it wasn't so clear (obviously, their was no dispute about the Republican nomination - although their should have been.)

Advertising and News

People in the metroplex media have pointed out this web page all day. The mixture of advertising and news is sooooo coincidental.

Jackie Murphree

A photo gallery is here. A myspace page to update folks on her condition is here.

Background for those not familiar with the story, is here.

Wise County Clouds Predicting Weather

The submitter wrote that the clouds indicate that it is about to turn colder. I don't know if that's true or not - taken around 2:40 p.m. today.

Edit: Yep, the original headline read, "Wise County Weather Predicting Clouds." My wheels were off.

OK, I Take It All Back

We need to ramp up the War On Drugs.......fast!

Deposition Humor

A faithful reading Wise County attorney just tipped me off to this. Sometimes I think the practice of civil law is crazier than criminal law.

Meet Josh McNeil: Man Among Boys

Story. Now I can't be condoning such behavior, but it's definitely blogworthy. Heck, it's almost worth creating a Liberaly Lean Hall Of Fame. But how does this guy answer the question, "Did you have a good weekend?", "Did you have fun this weekend?", or "Did you have a crazy weekend?"

No Justice. No Justice Of The Peace

Dateline: Abilene. Let's see, if a guy is riding in the back seat of a vehicle and accidentally fires a hunting rifle through the front seat killing the driver and causing a head on collision that injures five people, do you think an autopsy might be in order?

Not according to an Abilene Justice of the Peace who said there "wasn't enough evidence" to warrant one.

Huh?

It's Election Day

Don't ignore important issues like Prop 10.

I think there is also a vote to put a tollway along the Trinity River between Chico and Boyd, but I may have that wrong.

I Call It "Dawg Under Wise County Trees"

Not the most exciting reader submitted pic, but not bad for a Tuesday. I was jogging outside when the cold front hit last night and it was great. Love this time of year. (Except it'll get back up to 80 this weekend.)

I remember as a kid going to high school football games late in the year and it was always freezing.

It (Was) Your Money

Channel 5 had a story tonight on the Texas State Troopers Association which solicits funds from the public - normally by telephone.

Of the $3.7 million donated annually, less than $100,000 goes to the troopers. Shockingly, $3 million of that goes to "fundraising." That is, the telemarketers themselves.

Oddly, some guy name Tom Vinger of DPS said, "DPS does not endorse these associations. They operate separately . . . ."

What a scam.

Democrat Candidate Dennis Kucinich . . .

. . . has a very hot and very tall wife.
