Random Friday Morning Thoughts




  • Jerry Jones didn't give a single interview during last night's pre-season game? (That's what I heard. No way I was going to watch that.)
  • TMZ has identified the two "ladies" in the Jerry Jones' photo. Both are strippers and one works at Cabaret in Ft. Worth.
  • Another motorcycle death. This time in Arlington. Sounds like a couple of bikes were racing and smashed into the back of a vehicle.
  • I think I might have been duped by photoshop when I posted that Baylor Stadium picture when it was lit up like a nightclub.
  • It's the 40th anniversary of the resignation of Richard Nixon. If you have never seen the footage of him, before heading to the helicopter, going through a line and saying goodbye to every single White House employee, you should. 
  • They found some bodies of the old Jonestown Massacre in Delaware. And that deadline confused me greatly when I first saw it. (Speaking of, the documentary Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple is beyond fantastic. And it's on youtube.)
  • Anyone else get beaten down when they walked out of the door this morning to face 80+ temperatures with a krillion percent humidity? And that's how the day starts
  • My office went paperless over a year ago, and we haven't had a single problem. 
  • I forgot to thank whoever pointed out to me that the guy behind Breitling Energy (the company runs crazy right wing radio commercials for some reason) was the head of the very troubled CI Hosting company a few years back. 
  • Funny radio commercial about the old movie Armageddon which is being shown at the Granada Theater: "And we get to ask the question: Wouldn't it have been easier to teach a bunch of astronauts to drill instead of teaching a bunch of drillers how to be astronauts?"
  • I finally got to see a part of the first episode of Hard Knocks. That Falcon that married that chick from Real Housewives has to be out of his mind. She's a train wreck. 
  • Speaking of commercials, those Time Warner Cable ads where former NFL coach Bill Cowher just suddenly appears are the worst. And they make no sense. (The most recent one with two lawyers of the same firm involved in a "deposition" with him drives me nuts.)
  • "Mission Accomplished" comes back to haunt us again . . .
