Man, the Palin/McCain/Bush skit on Saturday Night Live last night was funny. (Will Farrell came back to play Bush.) Link here. Watch it.- And it was even funnier because I flipped over from the Sean Hannity lovefest with Palin on Fox News to see it. I can't tell Fey and Palin apart.
- Southern Baptist official compares birth control to murder. Is it OK that I refuse to believe that everything coming out of a pastor's mouth is directly from God?
- Man, I feel sorry for the Dallas officer that struck the 11 year old while the kid was on a bike (in the middle of the road, unsupervised, at night). But the local TV stations had a tough decision as to whether to show the dash cam footage from the patrol car. Fox 4 put the footage on its website early in the evening. I watched Channel 5 later that night which decided to edit the tape so as to not show the collision. But Fox 4 decided to run the whole footage, unedited, on TV -- even this morning during breakfast burrito time. I bet they catch a lot of flak for that.
- Sometimes I wake up a night, get a weird feeling, and lock the bedroom door.
- I posted my world wide exclusive story of Miss Teen Louisiana getting arrested for walking a dinner bill and for weed earlier this week. We now have the mugshot.
- There's a couple of bales of hay and pumpkins on display by the stop signs on the Decatur square. No one ever jacks with them.
- I'll admit, most political nutcases tend to be on the left. But, man, this Obama thing has brought out the certifiable loonies on the right.
- I'm hypothetically involved in holding the proceeds of a hypothetical friendly wager that some of you might be aware of. But, hypothetically, I'm not involved since I don't know what's in the envelope.
- Hot sports opinion: Texas Tech loses for the first time this weekend.
- I'm suspicious of anyone who always talks about how "wonderful" their life is. Come on, we all know its a beating.
- It's too early to turn the home heater on.
- Holy crap: Just saw a headline that said the "Dow futures drop 550, triggering selling freeze." The market opens at 8:30 a.m. local time.
- I haven't been to Angelo's in Fort Worth in years.
- An ATF agent shot and killed someone yesterday in Arlington. Somehow I picture a guy all dressed up in his fancy federal uniform that we bought him just waiting for the opportunity to shoot someone with the fancy gun that we bought him. The dead guy, thus far, does not appear to be related to the reason for the raid (drugs!!!!!!) of the Arlington apartment. Is there such a shortage of local police that we have to get the feds involved?
- I heard the oddly named but great 1980s song "Big Country" by, uh, Big Country yesterday. Love that thing.
- In the paper today: The Superintendent of Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD got arrested for DWI a couple of months back. That misdemeanor charge will jeopardize her $285,000 a year job.
- As a follow up to the Sexy Prosecutor Halloween costume, I've also discovered the Sexy Criminal Defense Lawyer and Sexy Judge. Hey, now.
- My hair is getting long. I thought it was Brad Pitt in the mirror this morning.
