- The best headline for the balloon boy story that I saw was: "Con Air."
- Hyperbole to the Nth degree: Any American professional athlete saying, "We shocked the world tonight." Perspective, buddy. Perspective.
- Denny Crane posted something on his blog that I've distanced from. Makes me tense.
- Property Fail: Remember when Intel was going to build a gigantic plant at Alliance Airport only to abandon the idea in 2000? Well, it was going to sell the property to a company that was going to develop an indoor ski resort (remember that crazy idea?) but now that's dead. Story.
- I'm beginning to see some natural gas derricks dot the Wise County horizon but nothing like two years ago.
- Dumb question: How did a country as unstable as Pakistan ever get The Bomb?
- I think all the construction on 287 is due to the economic stimulus package proposed by the President That You Love To Hate.
- The Messenger has always run boring syndicated opinion pieces which no one reads (Do you care about what Dave McNeely or, heaven forbid, Annette Bridges has to say?) If they'd have one of their staff members write one about anything, it would be so much better.
- I've got the most wheels off friend who is always getting in trouble. I think that's why I like her so much.
- Uncomfortable commercial: From "Where The Wild Things Are" where the kid tells that monster looking thing, "We can all sleep in the same bed together."
- The proposed health care reform bill is 1,500 pages. Oh, my.
- Sports in one bullet point (since I'm trying to cut down): (1) Tech's new QB is out 2-3 weeks which is bad news for Tech, (2) great endings to both baseball games last night, and (3) people are asking if this is the dirtiest play in the NFL in a long time.
- I don't like jokes. You know, joke jokes.
- Hey, now.
- People go out to eat too much.
- The cattle trailer chase through Wise County was crazy but filing "attempted capital murder" charges against the goofball driver is equally goofy. (They say he swerved at officers.)
- Viral video: The Japanese Sniper prank. That's just weird. And wrong.
- I'm proud of myself when I get gas in the evening so I don't have to do it the next morning. I hate getting gas in the morning
- The guy who wrote the song and lyrics to the Green Acres theme and the Addams Family theme is dead of death.
