OU recruit arrested on felony charges.

I know, can you believe it? By the way, the Sooner men take the court tonight for their Sweet 16 game. It has been quite an improvement in the classroom as well. They went from a ZERO graduation rate to 38%. Boomer!


Here's the story on the recruit.

My faux voicemail message to Ron Moore.

Pick up the phone, Ron. Doosh!

Hey, I got a great idea. Now that we have destroyed our enemy and found the 'real' Earth, let's crash all of our space technology into the sun and turn the remaining Centurions loose. Then with no explanation, let's just have Starbuck disappear in the middle of a conversation. Genius! NOT!

The first half of the finale was okay. Cool effects. Nice end to the cylon colony. I dug that part. Then..... a final 'OK corral' ending to the skinjobs that are 'evil'. Whatever. Yay! Galactica wins.

2 episodes ago I thought they established that Galactica was a flying Edsel. Then all the sudden it can just jump into the hive and get shot at point blank range for an hour?

Honestly, I knew I wasn't going to be happy with it. I've been pissed off at you and the writers since they blew up the Pegasus. I'm pissed that you never killed off Baltar. He sucks and that skinjob was kinda hot 5 years ago, but after 5 years of whorin around the galaxy, it shows...Also, the original BSG revolved around Apollo and Starbuck. Your show just teased but never really delivered there. C'mon dude, what's your problem? Why do you hate love?

I never really understood why we had to see the XO and the Admiral at a strip club "back in the day". Only to show Adama puking then looking up at the stars and smiling. Why have all the background? The President bangs younger dude, then all the sudden wants to get on the campaign trail? OK? Why was this necessary...OH I see. They had lives before the attack on the colonies. Well, if you didn't cover that after season 2, then why bring it up in the last? The background on Baltar was good, if you like background stories that explain nothing.

Ron, I'm just angry that the show is ending. But you know what? You are a genius because BSG is the greatest prick tease show of all-all times!

Oh, and I'm done...if you think I'm gonna watch the television movie from the cylon perspective and the huge dewsh spin off Caprica, then you be crazy. (sigh)


What am I saying? Just kidding Ron. (haha...sigh) Please, Call me back, we can undo this. After all, it has happened before....

The tee vee

This is the transcript from the "Consider this by Dan Jackson". He read this during a KCBD broadcast.

"Right now, state leaders are literally arguing over voter identification rules. At issue is a bill that would require voters to show identification at the polls. "

"The only thing needed now is a voter registration card - no picture id required. This law would change that. A similar bill failed in Austin a couple of years ago. Now, how anyone could argue that identifying yourself as a real voter is a bad idea is beyond me. Detractors will say it discourages minority participation and I strongly disagree.
"

"We're all required to show id when opening a checking account, buying things, cashing a check, drinking alcohol, even travelling; but not voting - and it's the most important duty we have as Americans. "

"Consider this, as this debate continues in Austin, I encourage you to speak up. Personally, I'm disappointed that West Texas Representative Delwin Jones went against his party and voted against this two years ago. I hope he's had a change of heart. "

Click here for contact information for our West Texas delegation. Let them know how you feel about voter identification. Not only do I think proving who you are at the polls is a good idea, not mandating it is borderline negligent.

We want to know what you think. Voice your opinion by e-mailing us at considerthis@kcbd.com or write us at:

Dear Dan Jackson,

I think you should wear black face and change the name of this segment to, Consider this by Jim Crow.


The Payper

The Class A boys Basketball final was an all West Texas affair. Roscoe Plowboys versus the Plains Cowboys. Overtime classic with Roscoe winning.

Lubbock Estacado lost to Dallas Madison in overtime. Oh so close, and yet....

China is makin monee and wants to kill yew. Terrorists are bad and are tryin to kill yew. Stem cells are peeple and trying to kill yew. The Russians are backwant to kill yew. Obama is presudunt and wants to kill yew. It's been a rough year fer the local Conservative Columnist.

The Raydeo

Ron played Amos Moses, as he should. I think this week I would like to hear a tribute to James Brown.

The tee vee

The tee vee said the gubment was doing a census to count how many people thare are in Texas. This time thare countin all the Mexicans too. Last time they seemed to miss some. Mike Leach talked about Winston Churchill and emergent Basque eccentrics in post-Inquisition pre-Rennaisance art. Then he said we were goin to find out who wants to play sum futball this sprang. He said he wuz glad he is in Lubbock. They mentioned the Lubbock payper going up.

The Payper

The payper costs $2 on Sundee now. Thare tryin to make a profit and said on the tee vee that revenue was important and wiff the economee down it wasn't doin it no more. The payper also said tha Ladee Rayders lost due to turnovers and not being able to score points. The Tech men lost due to the problem wiff playin Oklahoma. Said that O Yew has really good players and Tech missed some shots or they would have won. The editorials said the economee is Obama's fault. The letters to the editor thanked George Bush for doing such a good job.

The Raydeo

I listen to Ron Grant on Kool 98 weekdays frum 2 to whenever he aint playin music no more. Next week I hope he plays Amos Moses and Wichita Linemen every damn day, as he should. The morning sports show on the Republican network was live from CPAC. They were pissed off and makin excuses cause thare guy, that just so happens to be a brown person too, wasn't as good at speakin as tha Presidant. Then Rush said he wanted them people to stop listenin to him if they were gonna bash on Jindal. Then they said Reagan was good at borrowin monee and that we are now paying back the interest on that, but that was on the satellite raydeo so it must be lies!

Meanwhile back at the ranch

Texas Tech muckety mucks and our politicians are 'fighting' for Texas Tech to get to Tier 1 status. This amuses me a great deal, as some of you know.

Texas Tech is never going to get tier 1, at least not from any outstanding effort done by the State of Texas.

We went through this charade back a couple of years ago. California has 9 Tier 1 schools. Texas has 2 (A&M and UT), both of which are funded by the Permanent University Fund. Blah Blah Blah.

The charade works like this.

Step 1: talk up in media possible Tier 1 status for schools like UH, UT-Dallas, North Texas, etc. etc.

Step 2: Never let them have the adequate funding.

Result: Muckety Mucks from different schools get some good local publicity for fighting the good fight.

The reason we go through the charade is too keep the two obese systems from having to possibly be questioned in the manner in which it dispenses it's funding. The PUF has never been up for discussion, but their is 9 billion in it last time I checked, and that was after some setbacks.

Why am I the only one that gets it?

Moral hazard


Ok folks, I have been studying this here economic meltdown with my tier 3 edumuhcashun, and I think I have ciphered out a few things.

People will do dishonest things to make a buck if there is little or no oversight, or if the oversight is in on the fix. I equate this to Big 12 referees giving Texas calls in football games. We all know its going on, and despite the obvious being pointed out time after time, it keeps happening. Big 12 referees ought to apply for jobs with the SEC. Not the Conference but the Securities Exchange Commission.

See what I did here?

Today, I had a customer write a check from the bank that has the wagon train on their logo. They suck rhinoceros ass, by the way. Well today, they made me wait 30 minutes to cash a check until I spoke with a "Personal Banker". The banker was a bitch. I asked, "why are you guys doing this?" She said, "we must do it to get more accounts on the books. It's just what we do." I said, "hmmm, does pissing people off work?"

She cashed the check.

The tee vee said it wus going to be windy. That some cold air wus coming down frum the north. The south was where warm air came from and it aint coming back til mundee. Maybe tuesdee.
They said Nugeboogie, thats r congressman, weren't gonna vote fer no stimulus and he said that it weren't nothin but a Democrat spendin bill.

The payper

The payper had a leeter to the editor bitchin about Maria Elena Holly havin her name on a park in town with Buddy. The payper also had some pictures from Bush bein in Mitlands after he weren't presedent no more. The were took aboput 20 days or so ago. Must be big news.

The raydeo

No Jack Dale on Sportsline. He is in the hospital but he is expected to make a full recovery. They said the wind was coming but just said it would be 25 miles an hour. Rush said that we need to stop the Democrats in their tracks. Hannity said the Democrats were screwing up the country. The gold medal guy smokes weed and baseball players take steroids and you can get a wide variety of pecker stimulants if you'll call an 800 number.

OU loses another recruit to Texas Tech

Hahahahaha! I think the word is out about Bob. If you want your kids to play football and get an education. You better think twice about Oklahoma. OU currently has the lowest graduation rate in the Big 12 Conference.

This one is something called a Middle Linebacker.


By JOHN E. HOOVER World Sports Writer

Published: 2/1/2009 4:53 PM
Last Modified: 2/1/2009 4:53 PM

Rivals.com reported Sunday afternoon that linebacker Brandon Mahoney of Fossil Ridge High School in Keller, Texas, has decommitted from Oklahoma and has given a verbal commitment to Texas Tech. It's the third Sooner decommitment in less than month to a Big 12 South school, and the second who switched to Texas Tech. Mahoney visited Texas A&M last week. Previously, Darius Jones, an athlete/defensive back from Marshall, Texas, switched his commitment from OU to Baylor, and Eric Ward, a wide receiver from Wichita Falls, Texas, changed his pledge to Texas Tech. OU now has 22 verbal commitments in the 2009 class. Prospects are allowed to give non-binding verbal commitments to any school until they've signed a letter of intent. National signing day is Wednesday.




We also got two more commitments on Sunday. By my count, that means Tech only has 2 or so schoolies left. Mike Leach always has grey shirts. Also, this is the first recruiting class in school history with 4 blue chippers. I believe our previous high was 2. Then there is still two blue chippers left to decide, both being WR's.


It looks like that trend is over of Tech losing out on blue chippers just before signing day. I will call it dead if we land Mr. Kraig Appleton. We already flipped Eric Ward from OU, and he is already taking classes.

Fox News needs to hire some help




This is Chuck. He has his Bear and Wolf plus 4 silver arrow points. Therefore, Chuck has more credibility than that doosh Karl Rove.

KLF friends and family...


The BENEDICTION stole the show!


"...and in the joy of a new beginning. We ask for you to work for that day. When black will not ask to get back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead man, and when white will embrace what is right. Let all those who will do justice and love mercy say Amen. Say amen and amen."

RIP Ricardo Montalban


Thank you for Fantasy Island, Star Trek:The Wrath of Khan, ?Quien es mas macho? (even though I think you were only mentioned by name), and fine Corinthian leather.

Techsans DUPE Dallas Observer


The Dallas Observer did a piece on female athletes. (tee hee)

The picture above featured here is misleading in several ways. First, this picture has been floating around since 2002. Second, Texas Tech has no swim team, much less a Women Swim Team. It is a staple photoshop picture on many Tech message board and blog websites.

It is a an interesting article.

Our troubles are finally over!

Thank God we got a new aircraft carrier. Now we can take the fight to Bin Laden!

"What do you give a guy who has been blessed and has just about everything he has ever needed?" asked President George W. Bush from aboard the Navy's newest ship. "Well, an aircraft carrier."

Vince Offer from ShamWoW.


Vince from ShamWoW is a terrorist, if your a paper towel salesman.

Vince could be a freedom fighter, if you have 6 kids.

Vince could be a martyr, if he died...well, okay nothing really works there.

Vince is a patriot, if your a German ShamWow Factory worker.

Vince is a criminal, if he stole your coke a poured it on the rug.


My fascination with all things ShamWoW knows no bounds.

First time for everything

Eric Ward, the stud receiver switched his commitment from OU to Texas Tech. Here is the best part. He has decided to enroll into Tech this Spring.

I'm sure this has happened before, a recruit switching from OU to Tech, but I just cannot remember....

Rider receiver Eric Ward now headed to Texas Tech instead of OU


Ward said Tech’s academic record helped factor into the decision. The Red Raiders led the Big 12 Conference with a 79-percent graduation rate in the NCAA’s latest report released last fall. Oklahoma was a conference-worst 46 percent.

“I want a degree,” said Ward, who plans on majoring in criminal justice and sociology. “Football is not going to last forever.”

that one word is 'to be prepared'
* 'Verbosity leads to unclear, inarticulate things'
* 'I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in
the future'
* 'The future will be better tomorrow'
* 'We're have the best educated American people in the world'

fantastic pictures' (during an education conference)
* 'Illegitimacy is something we should talk about in terms of not having it'
* 'We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur'
* 'It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it'

Things that annoy me

Things that annoy me.

1. the OU band constantly playing the Boomer Sooner song anytime the opposing offense gains less than 10 yards or the OU offense gains more than 2 yards.

2. the rock band BUSH. They had this one song called...well here it is, but I must warn you, it is the worst song of the entire 1990's and there was alot of suck back then. Just sucktown lyrics repeated over and over.

3. J G Wentworth commercials....who knew there was such a huge market?

Boxers not briefs

Call me Al

I wonder if the United States of America would have been better off with Al Gore the last 8 years. We will never know.

My analysis of the Decider is simple.

Disassociation with reality, inability to accept opposing opinion, and lack of third and fourth level thinking are the main enemies of the Decider.

Jesus and God

Colt McCoy thanked Jesus for the UT Fiesta Bowl win. Evidently, Jesus cannot cover Michael Crabtree.

Seriously

I have never heard a player on any losing team say, "well, Jesus loves them more and that's why they won."

Recession busting denial advice

Refuse to listen to the news. Tell others. Rinse and repeat.

I love being a Texan

I was reading about Buddha on a recommendation from an old friend. I read about how life chooses you. Well, today I was in the city of Midland telling a great customer about reading some of this and he said. "Them fuckers in OPEC don't get this price up, that's about all I could afford is one dem sheets." Then he gives the Dan Blocker belly laugh.

Only in Texas can you go from Buddha to OPEC in two sentences.

Focusness


Focusness


Focusness is something I heard watching a football game this season. I cannot remember which, but to my surprise, others must have heard it too. The sheer joy of focusness is spreading like a fire in a lake of fire. I have now seen the focusness phenomenon reach the interwebs at hornsfans.com and espn message boards, as well as Shaggybevo. Yaya I peruse the evil empire sites...so sue me, those kids gots brains.

Focusness is not a word, of course. It has much more meaning than one word can sufficiently represent. Focusness is not a dream. Focusness represents a nuevo social consciousness uplifting the human spirit to a clearer and more defined tomorrow. Remember you heard it here first. Focusness is THE social movement of our time, maybe even bigger than lolcats.

Happiness New Year

Every year with the Maggie Dog is a good year. I got her in 1998. As I type this she is gnawing on a ham bone left over from the black eyed peas pot. I'm sure after that she will be off to the king size bed for her siesta. She lays with her head on the pillow, the only sound coming are her deep breaths and the soft smacking of her jaw. Simple and comforting, but always an ear for her favorite sounds. The food hitting her bowl, the jingle of the truck keys, or the voice saying... "Maggie, walk, ride, treat."

Maggie is a good dog!

Last year I gave up the relentless pursuit of early death, the agony of breathing and dialysis treatment, and the bane of cancer. All of these things could happen anyway, but why push it any further along.

I slept late today because I could and it felt good to. I cannot remember the last New Year's Day I woke up feeling so clear and alive. That is a great feeling and I'm going to share my good news with the world.

This year I'm sure what I am going to do.


I am going to do the right things as best I can..i.e. spend more time with family.

I am going to work harder and smarter than I ever have.

I am going to do something for the greater good of my community.


If I can do all of that, then that will good enough for me.

I hope you have a Happy New Year full of focusness, trickeration, and nonsensicalities!

Oh and one more thing. Go Tech!
