Thanks. I will check it out!

I'm visiting Austin for the first time in a couple of years. I might stay a spell. Kick my shoes off. Any Austinites out there these days?

I don't think corn is a vegetable. I think it's a grain, like wheat.

It's nice to be back in Austin. Just beautiful this time of year. But I must remember not to tell knock-knock jokes to homeless people. It's inappropriate.

Wind Farms don't kill birds...winds do.

How do I apply for a job working on a death panel?

Is there any way to delay a Writ of Execution because of a pending appeal on a judgement, in the State of Florida. A friend of mine says she is about to loose several of her properties because of a judgement against her for breach of contract, though she claims there never was a formal or signed contract, to go to work for her former competitor. She admits she showed up at court the first time with no representation. She now has a lawyer, her ducks in a row, and an appeal pending in court set for next month. But the sheriffs dept plans to sieze her properties and auction them off next week. She's scrambling to come up with (borrow) $151,000, or sell one property, to not loose everything. Her new attorney says there is nothing they can do at this point, shy of raising the money. Is her lawyer incompetent? Is Florida that corrupt? Or is she not telling me something. Her fear is the homes valued together at about a one million (almost all free and clear) will be auctioned off to insider friends of her adversary for next to nothing, and she might still owe on the judgement. Time is her enemy. If she wins the appeal, as her lawyer believes she will, it will be too late to save her properties. And yes, she has procrastinated on this. My Ohio judge cousin says she should be able to file a stay. That's how it works in Ohio anyway. My Texas lawyer also said there is such thing as a supersedeas bond she could put up. She seems unable to get anyone here to help her. And I am obviously not a lawyer.

I sure do see a lot of former Bills playing on other teams. So when we do draft well, they don't stick around.

Are those house servants, or field servants? Or are they just shovel ready jobs?

Give me your number dude. I don't want you to feel lonely.

Here is why I know that all you belly acres are wrong. If you go to a Miami game, almost everybody is wearing a Ted Ginn Jersey. Lots of them wear Dan Marino, but few wear current player's jerseys. That's why I know he might be good. Just the loss in T-shirt sales in Miami could make me smile.

So was Bob Hayes. I like Ted. We could do worse.

HA! I knew it! Proof positive that he is smoking crack.

Every week!

The grocery industry manages to operate on about a 1 percent profit margin. I wonder what the PM is for the insurance industry. I know it's a complicated issue as to why costs have sky rocketed. But I know that in 1982, I was paying about $10 a month (for just myself) for Blue Cross Blue Shield health insurance, through my employer. I barely missed it. Maybe it's like with my car. In the old days I'd take it to my mechanic. He'd look under the hood, he'd listen to the engine, and say "er ah, it's a yur fuel pump. That el be $45." Now I take it in, the mechanic hooks it up to a bunch of electrical devices which generate a computer print out. He gives the information to the customer service guy who tells me "er ah, it's a yur fuel pump. That el be $350." To say the least, I suspect there some inefficiencies going on, some redundancies, and more hands in the till.

If the Republicans want something done about medical malpractice litigation, isn't that about insurance? I mean, isn't much of this whole confugulation with health care, about insurance? As a worker guy, it boggled my mind a few years ago that I was paying nearly $500 for heath insurance for my family (my employer was supposedly matching that), and it didn't cover ****. And as a family, we typically had about $300 in real bills, on average. Why would it cost $1000 a month to cover $300? And, are the same companies that are covering health insurance, also covering doctor malpractice insurance? If that is so, aren't they getting everybody coming and going? I know it's more complicated than that. But any good football coach knows you have to break the game down into little pieces to figure out how to win. We have terrible coaches right now.

Chef, don't blindly accept that everything the police are doing right now across this country is A.O.K. The only people policing the police, are the people with camera phones. The police have incredible authority for their "pay grade." And this has very little to do with who is in the White House.

LOL. The same thing's happening here.

I met this chic at a bar last night. Every time she jumped up and down the whole band would skip.

What, you don't watch Youtube? My question is, when are the good cops going to stop protecting the bad cops, and eradicate them from their midst? Too many of them have more in common with criminals than average citizens. How did that happen?

Conner?...Is that you?

I do understand the point of a double standard with reporting . If this were a white on black crime, we would likely see it being reported more enthusiastically. On the other hand, the offenders have all been arrested, charged, and will likely get the needle. What difference does it make if the crime also included some kind of racial hatred? They're toast. That's like being on double secret probation or something. I really don't get the concept that a crime committed with hatred, which can only be surmised anyway, is somehow worse than the actual crime. Stupid Liberals. Never the less, every time I kill someone, I do it out of love.

Foolishly.

I just heard Sara Palin wants to buy the Bills and move them to Ankorage. I can't believe you missed this.

Wow...Maureen Dowd actually being clever and funny. Wow. And without snide snarkyness. Wow. Now I've seen it all.
