These Girls Say "Hey, Wise County, Have A Good Weekend!"

This appeared on Channel 8 a few weeks back. It looks both cool and frightening.

This a band called "Girls Aloud" out of the UK. One of these girls is named Cherly Tweedy and it is her birthday today. I don't know which one. I'm too lazy to find out. But here's a big shout out to the Mother Country on this 4th of July weekend.

Uh Oh

CNN Breaking News: "The confession of a man charged with kidnapping, raping and killing 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford isn't admissible in court, but the discovery of her body can be used as evidence, a judge ruled today. John Evander Couey, a 47-year-old convicted sex offender, gave the confession to detectives, but also told them that he wanted to consult a lawyer. He wasn't given the opportunity to do so."

I would go into a "rules have to be followed" or "the 5th amendment is there to protect us", but I suspect 99% of you don't want to hear that right now.

Clever. Very clever.

Secret Society

From The Update: MASONIC INSTALLATION — The Decatur Masonic Lodge #447 A.F. & A.M. will hold its installation of officers at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at the Masonic Lodge Building at 202 W. Walnut in Decatur. I've always wondered what those boys were up to.

"I Had No Idea The Cameras Were Here"

There was a weird Amber Alert this morning concerning kids that had allegedly been abducted by their dad in Missouri and headed for Texas. Mom, dad, and the kids were all headed for a family law hearing in Tarrant County. I'm sure the judge had no idea that she was going to be on the news. ("overly emphatic" comes to mind.)

Invisible Octopus

This video making its way around the Internet has stirred a huge debate: Real or Fake? I have my doubts (but I doubt everything), but I've yet to see anything definitive. For now, it's pretty cool.

Justice De-Something

Just got word that the County Attorney's office won a DWI case today with a blood test of .05 (the legal limit is .08). Read that sentence again - yep, you read it right. But I heard that the videotape was great for the State which explains the verdict somewhat. They've tried four cases in two weeks (three this week) and went 3 - 1. I am way too humble to reveal who the defense verdict belongs to. (Once again, no comments. You people go crazy on courthouse posts).

Guaranteed Tired Head

This is kinda long and complicated, but if you want to hear how Dallas Can Academy ended up suing Channel 8's Dale Hansen, here it is. (It involves a golf tournament, a rich oil guy, Hansen's son, Fossil Creek golf course, and Dennis Miller rejecting a private jet. Like I said, it's complicated)

Luv Serving Luv

In the hottest tennis match in the history of ever, these two girls (Maria Sharapova and Ashley Harkleroad) played each other today at Wimbledon. Sharapova won.

Tempting Click Of The Day

I wonder if there is a pic that involves: PETA, London, Pamela Anderson, a "I'd Rather Bare Skin Than Wear Skin" campaign, and half nudity. Yep, here (mild PG-13 rating).
