I’m happy the Cowboys now have a winning season, but I still fear the rest of December.
I wonder how many of us actually remember getting the Sears Wish Book and flipping through it with glee.
Melissa Joan Hart sure does love her some Wal-Mart.
CBS Market Watch – The Chinese economy just overtook the United States economy to become the largest in the world. For the first time since Ulysses S. Grant was president, America is not the leading economic power on the planet.
Cowboys fans, set your DVR to record the NFL Network for 8:00 PM tonight as the Roger Staubach episode of ‘A Football Life’ will air.
I wonder how many people actually understand the concept of a grand jury and how it’s part of our legal system. Sadly, I didn’t know anything about it until David Letterman stated he had to testify before one back in October 2009 which made me look it up. Actually, after looking it up I needed a bit more detail and asked a former DA for an explanation.
This Wikipedia article states that flashing your headlights to warn of a speed trap is protected by free speech in some states but not in others. Texas isn’t mentioned and I can’t find any info on our state’s status.
I saw lots of reports of Ticketmaster having problems processing presale U2 tickets. They offer a crazy VIP package which guarantees seating in the first 15-rows, a stay at the Ritz Carlton, shuttle to and from the venue, a pre-show reception with food and beer and wine, a backstage tour, and other stuff for about $1,300. One of my close friends brought up the idea of going to one of the Phoenix concerts, checking Hoover Dam, and camping. I’ll all for it except for the camping (and not buying the VIP package). God made houses for a reason.
Crazy suicide in Dallas – Witnesses tell CBSDFW they saw a man scribble something in Spanish on his van. He then tied one end of a rope around his neck and the other end around a fire hydrant. The man then drove off, decapitating himself.
I’m not sure if this website will work on a mobile device, but it shows you the distance and how long it would take to go from the Earth to the moon and then to Mars, if Earth was represented by being just ten pixels wide.
38.15 of the Texas Penal Code makes it a crime to interfere with an officer during the course of his duties. However, there is an exception if: ". . . the conduct engaged in by the defendant was intended to warn a
person operating a motor vehicle of the presence of a peace officer who was enforcing Subtitle C, Title 7, Transportation Code." That's the traffic laws section of the Transportation Code.
Yeah, it's legal in Texas. Funny thing about the right to free speech, it applies to all states. At least since the 14th amendment has been used to incorporate various federal protections against the states abusing them.
That being said, the cop will still pull you over if he sees you doing it, and will still try to write you some sort of BS ticket.
I managed to pick up tickets for U2 in New York at the start of the second presale this morning with relative ease. I had my first set of seats within 4 minutes and started over because I didn't select the right price level. I got the second one after about 7 minutes of waiting. We were already considering a NYC trip for next summer, so this made it a no brainer. Merry Christmas to me.
There's an old episode of The Rockford Files 9 ("So Help Me God" S3 E7) that gives a great depiction of a Grand Jury. It's pretty much a plaything of the DA.
