Greatest Wise County Book In Photo Ever
It was an arrest warrant issued out of Tarrant County and he was released four days ago. Classic.
Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts
- Another police officer controversy in Dallas as a female officer who goes by the alternative name of "Lucille Baller" (funny, by the way) posts a video showing her in "provocative" clothes and brandishing a weapon. Maybe I'm getting soft, but for the second day in a row I'll say: "I doesn't both me at all."
- The "War on Christmas" rhetoric beats me down.
- I can finally see how people get attached to dogs.
- We've decided to release the wild bunnies into the wild. Let me tell you, tears flowed by some people in the house last night. (Not me. Those things are driving me nuts.)
- There are lots of jobs for commercial driver's license holders. Is driving for a living a hard job? Stressful? Uncomfortable? Loud?
- Golf will ban the "belly putter". That device always looked unfair to me.
- I-35 to Waco or to Austin has been under construction for all my life it seems.
- The please-move-the-deer-crossing audio has been around for about three months. I finally listened to it last night. That's fake, right?
- Sports: (1) Gary Patterson rumored for the Auburn job? I'd stay at TCU, (2) Isn't it odd that #4 Florida will get an automatic BCS bid while the loser of higher ranked Georgia/Alabama game will end up at some spare bowl?, (3) If Baylor ended up in the Pinstripe Bowl, I'd be very tempted to go to New York City, and (4) Conspiracy theory: Dirk didn't have surgery. He's just old and they want to rest him for the first couple of months.
- Remember the model from Paradise?
- I hate those Facebook "postcard" postings (or whatever you call them) but I saw one which was a split screen photo with Shirley Temple on one side and Honey Boo Boo on the other with the caption of "What happened to us?" underneath it. Kind of funny.
- Fox 4's Steve Eager made fun of Heather Hayes last night for using the word "gotta".
- I got my two trial cases resolved yesterday. One little client hugged me because she was so excited but I still wonder if I did enough for her.
- There's a 24 year old out of Aurora in the Update's death announcements. Anyone?
- About 15 years ago, I fascinated about buying at auction a old news teletype announcing the JFK assissantion. I think it went for $10,000 which I couldn't even justify as an "investment". I heard on the Ticket yesterday that Heritage Auctions was selling a "batch" of those teletypes. The current bid is only $600.
- Ticket Fans only: When I was at the in-laws in Arkansas, there was a huge breakfast going on where the cook kept yelling, "You want scrambled or an omelet ", "How many eggs do you want?" and "We are cooking eggs over here!" I promise my brain could only hear the Ticket drop of "What about eggs?!"
- I was a bum in Arkansas. All I did (when not playing Capture the Man With The Flag) was read magazines and watch football while Mrs. LL and a bunch of relatives I hardly know played marathon card sessions. It was fantastic.

Well Played, Sir
This guy snuck down onto the field at Alabama when the Aggies played the Crimson Tide. Since he basically looked like he was dressed as a coach or trainer, he managed to stay there. Love that expression as he ran off with the team at halftime. He told his story (with photos) here.
One Of First Bills Filed In Texas Legislature
That "no big government" party is now having the State government tell local government what to do.
What A Beat Down
I suppose they good be "professional" and come out and give it their all in the second half, but that would be so demoralizing. (But the guy who yells, "Save us, Tebow!!" was pretty funny.
"Men men men men, manly men men men!"
Huffpo – Angus T. Jones doesn’t want to be on “Two and a Half Men” anymore. In a video interview with the religious website Forerunner Chronicles, Jones spoke out against the show and called it “filth.” “If you watch ‘Two and a Half Men,’ please stop watching ‘Two and a Half Men,’” Jones says around the 7:45 mark in the video below, which the website billed as “The Testimony of the Awakening of [a] star.” “I’m on ‘Two and a Half Men,’ and I don’t want to be on it. Please stop watching it, please stop filling your head with filth,” he continues. “People say it’s just entertainment,” he said. “Do some research on the effects of television and your brain, and I promise you, you’ll have a decision to make when it comes to television, especially with what you watch on television. It’s bad news.” Jones earns more than $300,000 an episode The sitcom made Jones, who just turned 19, the highest paid child actor on TV. As an adult, he still is among the biggest sitcom earners.
I heard this story all day yesterday but finally got around to viewing that portion of the clip. I'm very confused. Is that the same kid? About the only Two and a Half Men I've seen is when the kid was actually a little kid. And what's up with the black guy? He's just keeps looking at the camera like he's going to go all Marcellus Wallace on us if we didn't listen to Mr. Angus T. Jones. Worked on me, though. I'm never watching that show again.
Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts
- I'm not particularly bent out of shape by the Hurst officer's treatment of the kid that has made the news recently. I'd suspend him for a couple of days, but that's about it.
- The Texas Supreme Court approving forms for simple divorces is something I didn't think I would ever see.
- I saw a lady testify in Wise County's district court yesterday who had the most high pitched and irritating voice I've ever heard. The whole place just stopped down when she uttered her first sentence.
- TCU has a good team as they sit at 7-4. But let's face it, if they were in their old conference, they would be 11-0 and yelling about being shut out of the BCS Championship game.
- I've had several people mention that Michael Morton article in Texas Monthly (links below). I've been bothered ever since I read it.
- Man gets life sentence for DWI in Texas. (It was also his eighth conviction and his blood alcohol concentration was a shocking .446).
- Had a client take a prison term plea bargain yesterday after she had been out on bond. I've said it before, but those are bad days at work no matter how fair the plea bargain.
- Every time I feel smart watching Jeopardy, they'll hit a category of literature or science and I then feel dumber than a fifth grader.
- Our Christmas decorating is always delayed by the guy who we are willing to pay to get up on the high roof to hand the lights. Inside decorating is delayed because I hate to pull out what was once a beautiful fake tree which has been destroyed by The Family Cat.
- I've got a DWI trial today barring a last second change of plans.
