Lubbock Centennial

Baby dont get hooked on me

The best part about this whole shindig is Mac Davis is going to perform. Hell Yes! It's Sunday at the "Bubble" which is now reffered to as the City Bank Coleseum. It's 5 bucks and I hear that Joe Ely and Barry Corbin are going to be there as well.

100 years of Lubbock and you still can't get a 6 pack at the Swami Mart.

I hear people bitch and moan about this all the time but I dont care. Besides, if you need a beer, it isn't the worst place in the world to be in. Which brings me to my Lubbock Conspiracy theories.

The two greatest things about living in Lubbock.

First and foremost, you can get a beer in a frosty mug at any daytime and most nighttime hours for under 2 bucks. It it isn't no sissy beer either. I know for a fact the Spoon has 1.25 Schooners all DAY...Everyday!

The second is just a freak deal, but hear me out. This only applies to me but if I am listening to local Lubbock radio and I flip around the stations, within 10 minutes a Carlos Santana song will be playing. It's so true. I have lived here on and off for years and its either Black Magic Woman, Oy ya Como Va, or that one he did with the dude from Matchbox 20.

Those are the greatest things besides Red Raider Football, the Llano winery drunken art festival, and tailgating...plus the weather which is blowing dirt right now as I type. That is not the actual name of the Art Festival but it should be.

My friend...good ole TF!

He and his wife are expecting a baby girl. They are picking through various names and his criteria is simple. If it sounds like a stripper name, then it is out. I was in his office the other day and he was doing the constipated-stoner DJ voice of any strip joint in America, you know what I'm talking about. "Now welcome to the stage...Kashmir!" Kashmir gets my vote for the name, by the way but i betcha its going to be Gertrude or Hillary..ha! j/k Tit...

David Dewhurst Ad

There is one on local televison about how he is going to make sure only
U.S. citizens get to vote and how he is going to enforce this if he gets elected. Sounds good David! Is that one running on Telemundo too? I'm actually for this but it isn't like his opponent John Sharp is saying he wants to let illegals vote...sheesh!

He isn't going to pull my vote becasue he was Gov. Rick Perry's chairman for Homeland Security and he is going to spend 14 million or somesuch to get elected. Anyone that can spend that much money to get elected isn't doing so if they dont think its a good investment for themselves. Save the 'serve the citizens' speech for the locksteppers Dave..I'm not buying.

There is a great article about David Dewhurst here.


John Sharp is the former Comptroller that saved Texas from having a state income tax back in the early 90's. I'm voting for him.

Caucuses?

Evidently, we have to go to a caucus after the primary election. That gives me tired head.
