A man spent 39-years in prison (the longest sentence for a wrongful conviction in U.S history) because a 12-year-old boy told a lie. That boy is now a 52-year-old man and finally told the truth, and then asked forgiveness for the man he put away.
Bag of Randomness
- Man, it felt good back back into the swing of things after vacation, and it helped that all of the TICKET crew were back on the air.
- I’ve got me a sinus infection and the good doctor gave me a shot and some meds. I didn’t think it would be a sinus infection because I can easily breath through my nose, but the doc said because of my sinus surgery, that should never be an issue. As I look back, that surgery is one of the best things that have ever happened to me.
- I had to drop off our GMC SUV at the dealership and as a loaner they gave me a brand new GMC Texas Edition extended cab truck with a lot of bells and whistles. It’s gonna be hard to give that thing back.
- Barry over at LiberallyLean.com thinks I’ve been making husbands look bad as of late. Well, when you aren’t an always in physically shape attorney that takes your wife to tropical getaways and helps her children with complex building/physics projects, you have to make up for it in other ways. I hope Mrs LL knows how good she had it. The most exotic place I took WifeGeeding last year was probably Six Flags.
- People complain when oil prices are high, people complain when oil prices are low.
- Here’s a free copy of the latest Texas Almanac.
- Fox keeps showing commercials for their new show ‘Empire’ and I crack up at the boardroom they are using because there’s an NBA style basketball backboard/goal in it. I didn’t notice it until probably the 15th time the commercial aired. Somewhat related, I also crack up at the latest Rob Lowe DirecTV commercial where he’s a “meathead”. I didn’t notice it until the first few times, but in the last scene there’s a shelf full of protein powder in the background as he’s getting in the tanning bed.
- I watched my first Mavericks game of the year and saw Dirk hit that three in OT and become number seven on the all time scoring list. This city doesn’t know how lucky we are to have him, and I don’t know why I don’t watch more Mavs games, and I do miss Bob Ortegal. I guess it’s because Fox Sports Southwest isn’t on my radar. Radar, btw, is my favorite palindrone.
- This Is The Video CNN Will Play When The World Ends
- Part of the script from last night’s Fox4 News
- Girl Scouts Release Three New Cookies, Including Two Gluten-Free Flavors
- Today’s dose of ‘MURICA!
- David Oyelowo is a black British actor that plays MLK in the movie Selma and he was on Letterman last night. He stated that in the U.S., what we call pants, they call trousers. And what we call underwear, they call pants. While in wardrobe for Selma he was quite confused when asked to take his pants off because they didn’t fit right.
- I had no idea that until the new ‘Late Late Show’ starts, that Drew Cary was going to guest host. It was actually a nice surprise last night.
- @NotKennyRogers – Love is patient, love is kind, love has absolutely nothing to do with competing against 20 other women for the affection of a dolt on ABC.
Baby Plays With Python
A 13ft burmese python slithers over a baby in footage which is the stuff of nightmares for most parents – but for snake handler Jamie Guarino it’s simply a show of affection from a beloved family pet. Jamie, 34, filmed daughter Alyssa, then 14-months old with his ten-year-old pet snake Nay-Nay. Jamie wants to educate people about snakes, which he says can be loving pets despite their bad reputation.
Time Capsule Buried By Sam Adams, Paul Revere To Be Opened Jan. 6
The 10-pound capsule was put under the State House cornerstone in 1795 by then-Gov. Adams, Revere and William Scollay. It was extracted earlier this month while work was being done on the State House, and X-rayed at the Museum Of Fine Arts.
The X-rays showed a collection of silver and copper coins dating back to 1652, an engraved silver plate, a copper medal depicting George Washington, newspapers, the seal of the Commonwealth, cards and a title page from the Massachusetts Colony Records.
