Uh, I Don't Think That's Correct

And To Think He Shot This Video

Miami Dolphins offensive line coach. (At least for the next couple of hours.)

Link.

Edit: I was wrong about the two hours.

Random Monday Morning Thoughts


  • I went to a high school volleyball game on Friday night. Verdict: Highly entertaining.
  • The Vice President took a taxpayer funded trip to an NFL game at your expense so he could do a publicity stunt by walking out when he saw players protest. CNN estimates the cost at close to $200,000. This is the most dishonest administration in history and full of con men. 
  • Ouch: 
  • "Here comes the sun." It always plays a factor in late afternoon games in October at Cowboys Stadium.
  • The Office is famous for the phrase, "That's what she said." I somehow ended up watching Wayne's World this weekend and guess what phrase was used? And they also did a lot of stopping and talking to the camera. (Side note: Do you remember that Ed O'Neill had a brief part in that movie?)
  • College football: (1) OU being beat by Iowa State is amazing. OU was a 30.5 favorite. Yet it is the seventh straight year OU has lost as a double digit favorite. (2) In a seven overtime game a guy's sister ran onto the field when she thought they had won the game. They hadn't. (3) Texas escaped. (4) TCU escaped.
  • Texas county government lawyers are certainly getting crazily aggressive:
  • Powerful cover from the New Yorker: 
  • What? 
  • Trump's Secretary of Education had some great insight this weekend. Sheesh: Edit: I fell for fake news again - actually satire - but I believe she would actually say this. 
  • For morning news guys: Why has Tim Ryan not been on Fox 4 for over a week?
  • It's been over two years and not one plea or trial in the Waco Biker Cases. 
  • It's going to be 97 degrees today.

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

Lesson: If you are going to fall, at least be cool at the end of it.
 Me vs. Most People I Know
 I knew there was a reason I never had a child. 
 Someone hire this girl for her creativity.
 Trump's Presidency in a GIF.
Long live Cup Noodle. 
(And the fact he has a raised fist makes this even greater.)

Can We All Just Calm Down A Little Bit?

Oh, My



The son's eulogy goes on until about the 8:00 minute mark and then a stranger shows up. She was Asian and died of lung cancer even though she didn't smoke.

Random Friday Morning Thoughts


  • The "Tight Ends" restaurant is using Jim Mora's voice on The Ticket in a commercial. ("Playoffs!?") I'd bet big money they didn't pay him -- and they are obligated to.
  • My new favorite thing to watch is Big Passenger Truck vs. Big Passenger Truck in left hand lane on the highway. One is running 10 mph over the speed limit and the other is on his bumper because he wants to run 15 mph over the speed limit. So they start a road war with each other. 
  • Me to a buddy yesterday at the courthouse: "I think that Aggie/Alabama game will be interesting." Him (paraphrasing): "You're crazy." Then I found out the line was 27.
  • You've heard it before: If Sandy Hook didn't cause the change of gun laws, nothing will. 
  • Any sports radio show which commits a segment to an athlete is pure radio anthrax. 
  • I'm working on trying to get off the Internet after 7:00 every evening. 
  • Attorney General Ken Paxton is being investigated for bribery after some guy donated $100,000 to his legal defense fund and then settled a Medicare case with his office. Paxton is either a massive crook or as dumb as a box of rocks. Either way, that's not exactly what we want in an AG. Austin is a clown car.
  • I've learned some of the questions that Wise County District Judge hopefuls went through in their interviews. Example: "If a friend of yours for 30 years showed up and told you he was gay and wanted you to marry him, would you do it?" 
  • Anyone else taken aback by the Six Flags commercial for Halloween? Those are some scary images that suddenly appear. A little kid would be horrified. Heck, I'm horrified. 
  • Speaking of being horrified, this should do it, and I probably should have made it a separate post. A guy was arrested and indicted for capital murder of his daughter and stayed in jail for over a year before the prosecutors figured out the cops got it wrong. It had been set for trial, continued, then dismissed two days later. Good, lord. 
  • I don't follow baseball, but I saw that some 5'6" guy hit three home runs for the Astros yesterday. #RespectTheLittleGuy
  • A very Pro Life Republican Congressman just resigned once it was learned he urged his mistress to have an abortion. That almost sounds like a dark Onion headline, but it is true. 
  • The son of Jay Novacek is suing a fraternity for hazing. And it sounds bad. I have never understood hazing, and I think anyone who engages in it has part of his soul which is evil.

This Is Horrifying



I just heard this on The Ticket.

Think about the possibilities once you can get past audio to match up with what you want them to say.

Random Thursday Morning Thoughts


  • This will appeal to only a few of you, but Justice Ginsburg basically verbally slapped new Justice Gorsuch in oral arguments.
  • The goofy tweeting Texas Supreme Court judge will make $251,800 once he he is confirmed to the Fifth Circuit. Oh, throw in full insurance and pension. I've said it for years: Government jobs are the best jobs.
  • The brother of the Las Vegas shooter is a nutcase.
  • "One of these things is not like the other. One of these things is not the same."
  • This is the Tarrant County DA's misdemeanor trial board this week. Three "not guilty" verdicts in DWI cases.
  • Odd Mrs. LL statement last night which actually made sense: "The better the commercials are, the better you know the show is."
  • She was watching Survivor at the time and I casually looked up and saw a guy with a "Running Down The Dream." T-shirt. No question that episode was filmed months ago. (I'm becoming fascinated with Tom Petty lyrics, by the way.)
  • Fox News thinks he's the Messiah? What's next? Lazarus? 
  • Now this is a hot opinion: 
  • Corby Davidson of The Ticket had a great story about taking his boys to the State Fair. "You two are getting $100 each. We will stay for three hours max or until the money is gone." They didn't stay three hours. (When I was a kid, I would have put the $100 bucks in my pocket and stayed for three hours.) 
  • My mother and I actually went into the "Freak Show" at the State Fair in the 1970s. Think about that. "Freak Show." We saw the Lizard Woman. 
  • Tillerson at the press conference yesterday not directly denying that he called Trump a moron gives me great joy. 
  • Side note: Isn't it amazing that Exxon is doing fine even after Tillerson left? He made $24 million in 2015. Those top executives are worth every penny.

Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts



  • I finally watched the new episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.  That stuff is funny. Very funny.
  • Big girl claims she was fired for a photo shoot. 
  • Mark Cuban is talking about a presidential run. I'll take him in a heartbeat and I can't stand the guy.
  • Two Baylor football players have been kicked off the team for "undisclosed reasons" but the coach says it is not criminal conduct. If you might not win a game in your first year, you might as well send a message there is a new sheriff in town.
  • TMZ is pretty good at breaking news.
  • There are images now appearing of the Mandalay Bay shooter's room. They were leaked. Go find them if you wish. One is hard to look at. 
  • Oddest comment from the Sheriff yesterday regarding the shooting: “I want to understand the motivation that you described, okay, to prevent any future incidents, and, you know, did this person get radicalized unbeknownst to us? And we want to identify that source.”
  • Let the conspiracy theories begin!: 
  • Nothing perks me up more than Fox 4's Clarice Tinsley reading tweets. 
  • Asking someone "what do you think?" shows two things: (1) You are admitting you need help, and (2) It shows them you respect their opinion. And I'm not talking about do it for show. If you never ask for advice or help, you are a fool.
  • See, I'm not the only one: 
  • Our future is bright: 
  • The story isn't clear on how the damages were allocated so I can't tell if tort reform laws will bring it down. But that's a heck of verdict in this day and time. (A couple got hit head on and blamed a car repair company. It's like the 1980s all over again.) 
  • Former NFL Coach and broadcaster John Madden never flew because he would have panic attacks on airplanes. I used to laugh at stuff like that. I no longer do. Everyone is different. Everyone has there own issues. 
  • Amazon is looking to build a huge second headquarters and the metroplex is going crazy trying to get them. Uh, Wise County? Along the south border close to Haslet? Why not?

Just When You Think He Can't Be Any More Insensitive

He's probably disturbed because he saw so many brown people once he arrived in "the middle of the ocean."

He is a moron.

Edit: "Moron" is too kind of a word.
