Wisconsin Papers

I was curious about what the front pages of the Wisconsin papers looked like today after a Packers loss, but the biggest story up there is s crazy one: A guy is accused of spiking his girlfriend's drink with the "abortion pill" thereby causing a miscarriage.

Another Day. Another Overturned 18 Wheeler at 287 & 380

Although I may be more fascinated with Victory Church's new billboard.

Edit: The aftermath

The Today Show . . .

. . . is obsessed with the story about missing wife of this guy. Everyday they've got someone remotely related to the case on the show who has a big bag of nothing to add.

Oh, wait. Ann Curry just dramatically told me about an upcoming segment that will teach me "the truth about salt!" Gotta go.

A Thursday Night Cowboy Game

Is odd.

Edit @ 6:34 p.m.: I just checked in on the NFL Network (whose pre-grame show is so Wheels Off) and noticed the Cowboys are wearing the "throw back" uniforms. I hates me some Throw Back uniforms.

Edit: Funny bit

Crazy Email?

In part, it read:

A friend . . . said there is an airplane upside down on the B'port runway with the identification covered up on it . . . . Something seems to be "hush", "hush" about it. Inquiring minds want to know.

Question Of The Night

Motorcycle . . .

. . . update. (Support for my continuing belief that there is about one motorcycle death a week in the metroplex.)

I Call It . . .

"Fake Birds In A Decatur Front Lawn."

I Don't Know

All I know it has something to do with the United Way, a pig, Bridgeport, and Flick'r. And that it was part of a set uploaded today.

We Had Our Own Gridlock This Afternoon/Evening

Not exactly sure what happened on FM 51 tonight before 6:00 p.m.but it had traffic backed up for a long way.

Just Like . . ..

, , , my seventh grade science class in Bridgeport. The story behind the picture is here (but, be warned, it's written like a seventh grader. I'm still trying to figure out if the photo is from a week after the punishment or if it took a week before the punishment was handed out. And I still don't know if the father consented to the punishment or was never notified.)

Baylor Hires New Exorcist

A few people have asked me what I think about the hiring of new Baylor head coach Art Briles. My answer: I dunno.

He took a 0-10 Houston team to four bowl games over the last five years, but I don't think Houston had to routinely play Tech, OU, the Ag, and the Evil Empire. One of two things will happen: (1) he'll be a bust like the last three coaches, or (2) he brings Baylor up to six wins and bowl eligible thereby making him the hottest commodity in the country as a miracle worker. He doesn't have to make Baylor great. He just has to make them average.

After years of Horrible, I'll take Average.

Edit: Tap the brakes there, hoss.

When Exactly Did The World Go Crazy?

So I'm roaming around some reputable (but irreverent) Boston sports blog when I come across a youtube video. I quote the blogger:

As far as the chick getting work done on her stomach, I don’t even know what I think about that. All I know is that I didn’t want to watch the whole thing but I couldn’t turn away either. If that was a 6 hour video of the chick just taking body blows I would have been forced to watch the entire thing. It was like I lost control of my body or something. Weird.

You're not curious. Are you?

Headline That Sucks The Life Force Out Of Me

Porn Solves Crime

At least it helped in apprehending this guy wanted in Dallas for "over 200 burglaries."

But at 11:00 a.m.? Sir!

I Just Got Tired Of Looking At Phil King's Mug

Hold On To Your Wallet

Look out, Rep. Phil King is in town to raise money.

He needs it. In the first half of 2007, he reported candidate expenses of $116,440.80. (To see the 100 page disclosure form, click here.) The man likes deli sandwiches, cable TV, and CuffLinks.com ($633 expenditure.)

I'll Still Watch Fox 4

But this hire . . .


. . . is famous for this.
