Friday Morning Pick Me Up

"Sometimes I get bored with reading about the number of car registrations in the Update." - Nadia Bjorlin

I Saw . . .

. . . a Dallas Cowboy "Eastern Division Champs 2007-2008" T-shirt the other day which I think is extremely spare. But the Redskins are selling "Wild Card" T-shirts.

I'm working on some Bridgeport "Runner Up Division 8-3A Football 2007" hoodies.

Edit: Ok, ok. Bridgeport wasn't the runner up. My bad. Tired Head.

Edit #2: Speaking of playoffs, here are the odds to with the Super Bowl

New England Patriots 2/5
Indianapolis Colts 4/1
Dallas Cowboys 6/1
San Diego Chargers 8/1
Green Bay Packers 10/1
Jacksonville Jaguars 10/1
Pittsburgh Steelers 35/1
Seattle Seahawks 40/1
Washington Redskins 50/1
New York Giants 60/1
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 65/1
Tennessee Titans 100/1

Britney Breakdown Countdown

As I slept soundly in a fetal position in the corner last night, we had drama at Britney's house. Seems like she got all liquored up and refused to give up her kids to her ex. For some crazy reason, she was then taken to the hospital.

The gal is crazy. Me loves me some crazy.

Edit: Best pic I could find of her from last night.

Iowa

You know, I'm kinda hooked on watching the caucus results tonight.

For the GOP, it's Huckabee pulling off the win. (And, for the life of me, I don't know why the Rush and Sean Hannity's of the world hate him so much. But I'm glad this win will drive them crazy.) And I didn't know Ed Rollins had been brought in to help on Huckabee's campaign.

For the Dems, with about 70% of the vote in, Obama has a growing lead over Hillary and Edwards who are pretty much tied. For most of the night it's been a virtual three way tie.

Good stuff.

Independent?

Some commenter kept saying it and I didn't believe him. But he was right. Some guy named Clinton Phillips filed as an Independent for the Wise and Jack County DA job. Link (at bottom.)

Either Dumb Or A Liar

Jeff Ireland, who up until yesterday was the Director of Player Personnel with the Dallas Cowboys, is now the General Manager of the Miami Dolphins after being hired Wednesday by Bill Parcells (the new Executive Vice President of the Dolphins.)

And in his first news conference this morning, Ireland was asked who would have final say on Draft Day:

"Well, I have final say over all personnel decisions."

Yeah, right.

Do You Spank?

A couple of observations. The gal seems to be really embarrassed - like she really is hiding something. We need to get her working with the dancing traffic girl to create an all star lineup. But the more entertaining part of the video is the creepy male anchor. Yeah, it's OK to get all excited over such a revelation but you don't have to get that excited. And the way he leans into her at the end has "stalker" written all over it.

Well, I'll Be

The Bridgeport Index does have a humble little web site. Pretty much just a scan of the front page, but it's a start. I didn't know it existed.

Random Question

I've never asked this question: Of all the links on www.wisecounty.com, is there a popular one that is missing? Are there some which have no business being there? Any suggestions in general?

I created that layout in 1997 when my dial-up connection speed on the shores of Lake Bridgeport was 25% of normal (14,400 bps or something like that). I wanted to make it quick loading and graphic free. I still think people appreciate that.

Reader Submitted

So a buddy just emailed this about The Clinton Library. I'm torn about posting it because I'll only put it at the "moderately funny" category. But since that guy (1) told me to post it, (2) has a better sense of humor than I do, and (3) is better liked, maybe he knows something I don't. Plus, I got a big bag of nothing this morning.

Nielsen Ratings Are In

But I have to admit that the December numbers are probably inflated a little. For some crazy reason, on December 13th I was inundated with visitors (5,000 to 8,000) who had found Liberally Lean after googling "hot Boston College girls." Google returns this post as its #1 result. Why that was a hot topic on December 13th remains a mystery to me.

Gay Or Not Gay?

So I'm being manly last night watching West Virginia kill Oklahoma in the Chips 'N Salsa Fiesta Bowl when this popped up on my screen. Yep, a guy twirler.

Edit: We've reached a record for "Most Comments Not Suitable For Posting."

Yep. Same Girl.

Story here.

And Some Guy Who Dispatches Trains . . .

and is from Wise County is going to run against Phil King as a Democrat.

How Soon Will The Media Broadcast . . .

. . . what has to be a horrifying 911 call?

Nicollette Sheridan is 44 . . .

. . . and fantastic. (She's in St. Barts on an extended vacation.)

Stoppin' Traffic

OK, this spare New York City channel has the greatest traffic girl in the history of ever. Not only is she smokin' hot, but she is willing to break out into a dance in the middle of a newscast. (It takes about 60 seconds to get there.) If Tammy Dombeck would do that, I'd TIVO is every day.

Random Political Thought

Everyone knows that Greg Lowery is going run for District Attorney. But because of some goofy law, he couldn't file nor announce his candidacy before 1.1.08 if he wanted to keep his current gig as County Attorney for the rest of his term. But this is a little bit of a logistic nightmare. Since the DA's position is a state position, he has to file his application to appear on the ballot in Austin and today is the last day. Was Fed Ex open yesterday? Does he have to drive or fly down there? Edit: I'm sure Greg made it, but we'll be able to find out here. Edit #2: I have no idea who Clint Phillips is. And I've not heard anything about another candidate. And despite two of the comments, he didn't file. And in other election news, the guy that former Bridgeport resident Allen Vaught beat out for state rep in Dallas is running to get his old job back. And he refers to Allen as "an asbestos trial lawyer who has the political backing from Texas’ trial lawyer campaign machine."
