Israel Is Mixing It Up This Week

Youtube description: On Nov. 11, 2012, the IDF targeted Ahmed Jabri, the head of Hamas' military wing, in the Gaza Strip. Jabri was a senior Hamas operative who served in the upper echelon of the Hamas' command and was directly responsible for executing terror attacks against Israel in the past.

Horrible Basketball Player Shoots At Wrong Basket

I wonder if he ran back down the court yelling, "Four offensive rebounds, bro!"

Random Tuesday Wednesday Morning Thoughts

Bridgeport made the playoffs with a 4-6 record which will always be a head-shaker to old-timers.
Do generals just sit around and write emails all day?
The reconstruction of the wreck on 287 was handled with arrogance by law enforcement yesterday. Traffic was routed to the service road and then to the Saginaw cutoff where no one was directing traffic. And the cops didn't seem in any hurry to "re-create" or measure or do whatever it was they wanted to do.
Channing Tatum is People's Sexiest Man Alive.
There's a "squatter" trial going on in Tarrant County where it is reported that the defendant faces "life in prison." While true, I don't think he'll get much, if any, time in prison.
Perry and Cornyn wanting drug tests for those receiving welfare sends a not-so-subtle message of rich white guys looking for a way to kick the poor.
I watched a 4th grade school choir last night. The number of cell phones that went up into the air in camera mode was amazing. I would think that camera sales have absolutely plummeted, right?
Pat Robertson on General Petraeus: "The man's off in a foreign land and he's lonely and here's a good looking lady throwing herself at him. I mean, he's a man." If Robertson is married, his wife might want to do some snooping herself.
The woman who is essentially the whistle blower in the Petraeus scandal called 911 about news crews on her property: “You know, I don’t know if by any chance, because I’m an honorary consul general, so I have inviolability, so they should not be able to cross my property. I don’t know if you want to get diplomatic protection involved as well.” A little bit of self importance?
From the Update: "BENEFIT ACCOUNT – A benefit account for Laura Davis has been established at DATCU in Decatur. Davis is uninsured and in need of a liver transplant." There's an Obamacare message in there somewhere, isn't there?
Overheard at the courthouse after the election: "Those people in other parts of the country just don't think like we do."

It Was A Matter Of Time Before That White House Petition Page Turned Into A Bit

Can We Test Any Governor Who Runs For President?

Per Radio, They Are Shutting Down 287 For Re-Enactment Of Wreck A Couple Of Weeks Ago

Sure looks like it based upon the red traffic alert.

Aggie v. The Black Man

I soooo want to know more about this. (But that gate attendant sure does run off for the police at the beginning. Probably a smart move. )

Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts

The lady who blew the whistle on the Petraeus scandal is now being investigated for an "improper" email exchange with our lead general in Afghanistan (John Allen) while an FBI agent is accused of sending that same lady a shirtless photo. It's like the Jerry Springer Show.
That lady is on the cover of the paper below.
And someone has created a "Shirtless FBI Guy" twitter account.
The privates will be the downfall of society.
Facebook post from a guy in Chico this morning: "All that needs to be done is the impeachment of Obumer and his entire staff along with about 80% of the rest of the muslim lovin scumbags politicians, reap it you no God fearing people, ya take God out he will take you out." (Hey, Ticket fans: That sounds like Ed Carter).
I went to "pre-diabetes" training yesterday where I learned I should exercise and eat healthy. Ummkay. At least the instructor told me, "This is unusual because you don't look like the type."
Matthew McConaughey has lost lots of weight for a movie role.
Mrs. LL suffers from car sickness. That's a big problem to have when you think about it.
There's this weird vibe from Republicans of "if we couldn't win this election, we certainly won't in the future."
I think I can self checkout at the grocery store quicker than anyone I know. (I also can judge those in front of me which will be horrible self-checkers.)
Three minute video of the Aggies coming home after their win at Alabama. Heck, it almost gave me chills.
Funny line I heard this morning on the Texas secession petition: What if the U.S. simply said, "O.K. Goodbye and good luck."
I kind of wish I was a history professor on a college campus in the South right now.
I'm going to a two day DWI seminar at the end of the week which is exclusively dealing with blood testing based upon the growth of Vampire Weekends. I didn't plan on being a chemist.
The lead story on the national news was that the U.S. would be the leading oil producer in the next five years, we would be self-sufficient in that area, and gas prices will drop.
One of the Olsen Twins (who still looks 12) is dating a 42 year old and it almost is a creepy as Courtney Stodden and the Green Mile guy.

Breaking Belize

This story is bizarre. The creator of McAfee virus software, John McAfee, is now wanted for murder in Belize. Check out this crazy story which links to a message board where McAfee made numerous posts a couple of years ago about chemically breaking down different kinds of bath salts to pretty much make an offshoot of Ecstasy He even posts pictures of his lab and home.

Video of General Petraeus' paramour.
The timing of that scandal has absolutely nothing to do with Benghazi.
I never would have believed the Aggies could beat Alabama in Alabama.
"President Obama is not the Antichrist. But what I am saying is this: the course he is choosing to lead our nation is paving the way for the future reign of the Antichrist." - That crazy Robert Jeffress, senior pastor at the First Baptist Church in Dallas
Is love cleaning up after your wife throws up violently?
I think some Decatur moms did the gangnam dance at the pep rally on Friday but I haven't seen any pictures.
There are some beautiful trees around right now but they just seem to last that way for a couple of days.
Being hot is uncomfortable. Being cold kind of hurts.
I told Mrs. LL that the couple in Breaking Bad kind of reminds me of us. She just kept saying, "Don't say that! Don't say that!" I think she knows something about the show that I don't.
The man who died in the house fire in Wise County over the weekend was named Henry Crowson.
Florida was finally called for the President over the weekend bringing the final electoral college vote to 332 to 206.
Does the county surveyor position in Wise County, which may or may not be immediately abolished, have a salary associated with it?
