- So why exactly did Rick Perry need to immediately release a statement condemning the Boy Scouts for its decision on gay members? It's a private organization. Doesn't that smack of Big-Government-We-Are-Watching-You for him to express his opinion?
- Random Wise County Facebook post: "I don't believe this; I was a boyscout and now they are going to let sodomy; gays, queers and fags in the scouts. So much for anything pure anymore I think I'm going to go puke."
- Got the new refrigerator installed. I was excited to use the in door ice-maker only to see a handwritten sign from Mrs. LL that read, "Don't use the ice-maker yet." (And its got some funking lights inside. I almost expect to hear some type of heavenly music when I open it.)
- A guy analyzes the final episode of Save By The Bell which just celebrated its 20th anniversary. Funny.
- From the Update: "BALLET PERFORMANCE – Wise Performing Arts Guild’s ballet production of 'The Arabian Nights' has sold out its Saturday, June 15 performance." Arabian Nights? Isn't there some good 'merican play they could perform?
- The most screwed up television sports graphic in the history of ever.
- "NEW YORK (WABC) -- Actress Amanda Bynes was arrested in Midtown Manhattan Thursday night after she allegedly tossed a bong out her 36th-floor window." That girl's wheels are just flying off in every direction.
- The Jodi Arias jury ended up deadlocked so a new jury will have to be empaneled to decided life or death. And even though they won't have to deliberate guilt/not guilt, the State will still have to put on all the evidence of the murder so get ready for weeks and weeks of testimony. (In Texas, a deadlocked jury in a capital murder trial means automatic life. Probably a good idea.)
- But the judged declared a mistrial after only 13 hours of deliberations when the trial took five months?
- My dream news story would be Arias and Sheriff Joe having an illicit relationship behind bars which leads to her escape.
- Dallas Cowboy Josh Brent is back in court today as prosecutors claim he drank alcohol and tried to tamper with his ankle monitor (known as a SCRAM device.) Three years ago I pointed out this article which shows how the "violation reports" from that company can be very, very wrong. I hope his defense lawyers are aware of that.
- This is my 15,486th blog post with just under a quarter of a million comments published . I've got my faults but one thing you can say about me: I'm disciplined and dependable. I'm always here.
- I ask this every three months: Whatever happened to the cop who shot the unarmed guy 40 something times in front of his girlfriend after a chase? Fox 4, where art thou?
- On the evening of the Oklahoma tornado I decided to listen to an Oklahoma City news radio station via IHeartRadio.com. At one point, the host let the audience know that the broadcast was being simulcast on various sister radio stations and he listed them off. One was "101.9 The Twister."
- And in Guys Who Wear The White Hat news . . .
