Random Friday Morning Thoughts

• Some guy named Davila was convicted of capital murder in Tarrant County yesterday, but every reporter pronounces the name differently. But around here we know better.
• Some guy led cops on a chase through Ellis County yesterday morning and when he was captured he told the camera, "I'd like to apologize to the public." The man is a born showman.
• I made a mistake about Texas Stadium yesterday. Yeah, you can buy some junk there this weekend but you can't go inside the stadium.
• The State Judicial Conduct Commission is now after Judge Sharon Keller. If you've followed that story and it has your interest, you have to read the complaint (pdf) which details what happened on the they day the court closed at 5:00 p.m. Shocking.
• I've never had interest in American Idol except for 10 minutes a few weeks back when Katrina the Bikini Girl was on it.
• The Wise County Messenger's Update seems to have become boring since Roy Eaton stopped writing it.
• The A-Rod steroid scandal sure has brought out the "holier than thou" in people.
• I've got a friend who doubts that man walked on the moon. Crazy. Town.
• You see this from time to time, but there's a new photo comparison of fast food "What They Advertise vs. What It Really Looks Like." I think this is why we power down whenever we open up the sack.
• I like getting in my car before opening the garage door.
• I had a dream last night that I can't remember, but I woke up hurting from the exhaustion that it caused. That happens to me a lot.
• I've got a pretty good mental image of any commenter who makes reference to a "monkey being in the White House." And it involves cigarettes, a beer belly, and a T-shirt with a stupid saying on it.
• I should have dedicated this whole week to the the relationship between Sandy Herold and her chimp, Travis. Triple. Crazy. Town.
• But I wish I had a well behaved spider monkey who would sit on the couch and act like he was reading the paper.
• New Harris poll on who America considers a "Hero." #1 was Obama. #2 was Jesus.
• Referring to one's mouth as "your kisser" is still kind of funny. (i.e. "I thought my date was going to whack me in the kisser when she caught me looking at that hottie.")
• Motorcycle death last night.
• I still think we are headed for an economic collapse this year.
• I like the heels with shorts look.
