He's Losing His Mind

The failing @nytimes has disgraced the media world. Gotten me wrong for two solid years. Change libel laws? https://t.co/QIqLgvYLLi

What I Feel Like Most Days

But what's up with the flip requirement? Let's come up with a competition of smashing bricks with your brain but then say, "Wait. We need to trick it up a little bit!"

Random Thursday Morning Thoughts

• I bet Tony Romo retires. 
• This will test your faith: 
  
• As will this: 
  
• Trump is really mad at conservative Republicans:
  
• People are pretty quick to create a "GoFundMe" page. 
• An American Airlines pilot died mid-flight. I guess that's why they always have two.
• I think ESPN's SportsCenter is borderline unwatchable. Sheesh. Just show highlights and shut up. 
• Baseball season starts next week. It will end in November. Therein lies the problem. 
• The Dallas Morning News is getting creative with headlines and graphics:
  
• If you have a jacked up truck with huge tires, you also drive fast.

Road Rage Couple Fight!

(1) That one lady had no business being in a fight.
(2) I will never ever ever get out of my car because I'm mad.

Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts

• That wind was insane.
• Rockwall did not do well: 
  
• Two cars of weather chasers crashing into each other at an intersection resulting in three deaths is beyond bizarre. 
• A 1939 crystal clear NFL video was floating around yesterday. It is a look back in time.  Tackling without using the head is the way it should be done.
• The Ticket talked about the old ABA this morning and a book about it. I can't remember who Junior Miller was referring to, but he talked about a section of the book where one of the teams was going to get onto a plane at say 7:00 a.m. and arrive on the West coast at 6:45 a.m. due to the time change. He refused to get on the plane saying, "I'm not getting on no time machine."
• Let's check in on Trump this morning:
  
• I think people being oblivious is now an epidemic. 
• When I'm out at Lake Bridgeport, I could watch ducks for hours. And, man, there are a lot of ducks.

Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts

• Let's check in on the President's security briefing this morning: 
• 
• The Oakland Raiders moving to Las Vegas is really a great idea. However, the NFL once again scams the public by having them pay for a state of the art stadium. 
• Shout out to two young deputies who were involved in a couple of driver's license hearings in Denton with me yesterday. The effort to shake my hand after you were through testifying is an act of professionalism I've not seen in years. 
• When you talk to a client to wrap up what has been my most gut wrenching case in years, and that conversation occurs on a cell phone as you walk up and down the street that you grew up on, played kick the can on, and rode bikes on, it will be a memory you never forget. And it will cause you to sit on the curb for a very long time. 
• Greg Abbott on why Texas and not cities should make rules and regulations: "We are the United States of America and not the United States of Municipalities.” Is he OK?
• The Mavericks are now guaranteed of a having a losing record. This will be the first of a long string of many.
• Uh, oh. I got followed by these boys on Twitter:
  
• Had a reunion in the district courtroom yesterday with two others. We were all rookie prosecutors in the Tarrant County DA's office in 1991.
• I can't do it justice, but from the video I saw of the closing arguments in the "butt injection" murder trial I came to the conclusion that both the defense lawyer and prosecutor are awful. They could barely utter a complete comprehensible sentence. 
• We've got five guys sentenced in a sex trafficking case in Dallas. And, yes, I'm posting this simply because of their names: Audry "Spud" Lane, Alvin "Spank" Lane, Chad "Ocho Hood Fame" Johnson, Deon "Spanish Fly" Bonner and Stanley "Pee Wee" Johnson.

When I was in my 20s, I can't tell you the number of times I was stopped by strangers who told me I looked like Michael J. Fox.

That was a crazy finish to the North Carolina/Kentucky game.

And Deadspin has a collection of Kentucky fans watching it.

Random Monday Morning Thoughts

• It was "And Another" city in the metroplex on Friday. Trophy Club and Mansfield.
  
  
  
  
• The Republicans failure to change Obamacare proves they have no idea what they are doing. 
• I don't know the Hicks brothers or their parents from Decatur, but they get my attention. I noted a while back that Parker put up 60 in a basketball, and I saw this weekend that Wilson threw a perfect games against Bridgeport.
• An amazing and stunning video of a Tulsa police officer running over lady who pulled a gun on them. 
• What's up with the graphics going on with local news organization tweets? We really need that?
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Sometimes, after a very hard and difficult day, you just need someone to talk to. It gets harder when there is no one. 
• I'm giving this guy a pass just because of the make-up. 
  
• I get sucked into The Rifleman every time it comes on. I think the entry scene does it. Nothing but a guy firing a rifle a crazy rifle, then the twirl of the rifle, followed by the camera panning out with Chuck Conners just staring you down. 
• If you listen to talk radio on the weekend (KRLD, WBAP, etc.) there is nothing other than financial infomercials. And they are beyond stupid and border on fraud. 
• TCU's Trevone Boykin was arrested last night after his girlfriend(?) drove up onto a sidewalk in Uptown. 
  
• Larry, Moe, and Curly: 
  
• One of my greatest attributes is that I don't care about food. I eat only because I know I have to.

It's Friday. Let's Get Out Of Here.

 So no one thought about the aftermath even if successful?

 I guess the answer is no.

 After careful study, this may be the greatest faceplant of all time.

"Hey, look! A ball pit! I did this as a kid!"

It Just Kept Coming

Some 20,000 people are being evacuated after a series of explosions at a massive arms depot in eastern Ukraine described by officials as sabotage.

Story

Random Friday Morning Thoughts

• The Bridgeport Pre-Parole Transfer Facility might close. 
• There are reports that the "Cash me outside" girl charges $30,000 to $40,000 per appearance. That cannot be possible. I hope. 
• The healthcare vote today will be high drama. It should take place mid-afternoon.
• Trump says that if they fail to pass the bill, he'll just drop the whole project and move onto something else. And we all know how much his words mean. 
• Horrible news this morning with a disturbing photo: 
  
• This is insane:
  
• These are the nosiest places in the metroplex. I think I see a pattern: 
  
• Trump in the 18 wheeler yesterday acting like he was driving it and honking the horn was very, very funny. He rarely puts him in situations where photos can be taken of him looking silly.

Well, This Isn't Going Well

By all accounts, TrumpCare is going down in flames and the House may not even take a vote as promised.

And in the meantime, the GOP can't get out of its own way:

He quickly realizes, "I made a big mistake."

This is him:
