- ABC's Primetime had a special last night on teenage pregnancy. Adulthood is hard enough when you have everything going for you. Throw a child into the mix when you are a teenager and your chances for success are reduced exponentially.
- And the show kind of busted on Texas for preaching "abstinence only."
- I remember a North Texas student around 1982 who was last seen on the campus in Denton and whose body was found about a mile out of town on some country road. I don't think it was ever solved.
- If you have to give a presentation, don't read it unless you have absolutely no choice.
- Can't............take........the...........heat.
- The 100 Most Expensive Homes in Dallas.
- Every person on that list should be ashamed.
- The biggest fraud on the list is #11, Lisa Blue, whose claim to fame is marrying the late trial lawyer Fred "I'll represent anyone who came within a mile of asbestos" Baron (he's the guy who also paid to hide ex-presidential candidate John Edwards' paramour.)
- My negative attitude towards Blue was ramped up when I heard her speak at a criminal law seminar earlier this year. She casually referenced that "sometimes the State will have a client that the jury won't like -- for example, if it is a prostitution case." First, the State doesn't have a "client". Second, in 99.99% of the prostitution criminal cases where the John is being prosecuted, he got caught up in a sting operation where the prostitute is an undercover cop.
- I see that phenomenon a lot in this world: A person gets tagged as a genius in a particular profession and, even thought they might have been true at the time they were so "tagged", they've not been involved in their field of expertise for so long that they've completely lost touch.
- I should have made the Broadway Baptist Church/Gay thought yesterday morning its own post. I failed to realize it had two hot button issues combined into one.
- There's a lot of heart ache in this world.
- Fionna whats-her-name from Fox 4 interviewed a six foot tall guy dressed in drag at the American Idol tryouts in Arlington this morning.
- I need to put "Going to College World Series" on my Bucket List.
- My hair is looking thinner on top. And the sad part is that I'm trying to come to terms with it by telling myself I had a good head of hair for a very long time.
- Funny line from Conan O'Brien last night: "Did you hear that Jon and Kate of Jon and Kate Plus 8 are divorcing? Hey, guys, there's a nagging woman with eight kids who is available."
- Craziest line from a story IN the Dallas Morning News: "A spokesman for A.H. Belo Corporation, publisher of The Dallas Morning News, could not be reached for comment."
