Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts

  • Fox 4 always has a "job of the day" segment and this morning's was one for someone with "2 years of aerospace job shop estimating" experience. Let me see a show of hands.
  • Be sure to scroll down for your last chance to enter the Liberally Lean NCAA Tourney Pick 'Em Contest sponsored by Stagecoach Steakhouse. (That sounds really official.)
  • Craziest news story yesterday was the lady who became paralyzed after being stabbed by a nutcase stranger in a park in Stephenville while she watched her two kids play.
  • When did computer graphics get projected behind someone (like weathermen) on a "green screen" instead of a "blue screen"? That prevented weather guys from wearing green today.
  • On Thursday, Channel 11 will be forced to show the UNT tourney game instead of the Baylor basketball game.
  • I had forgotten that auto inspections used to require your cars headlights to be projected into some kind of device. That was stopped because too many people were getting ripped off for unneeded headlight adjustment charges.
  • The Decatur soccer team made the playoffs this week, but they did so by going 3-6-1 in district play and finishing fourth. And they get a bye for the first round. What's up with that?
  • Gov. Perry has unleashed a "secret plan" which utilizes "Trooper Strike Teams" to control border violence. Really? Sounds like a bad movie.
  • I still remember the preamble to the Constitution because of "Schoolhouse Rock". I can still sing it.
  • Fox News had a bogus poll this morning that said 46.3% of physicians feel health care reform will force them out of, or make them want to leave, the profession. Riiiiiiiight.
