California Is Burning Down, Burning Down…

Wildfires in California are ravaging the Southern parts of the State. 500,000 people have been ordered to evacuate.

I don’t know about you, but I have mixed feelings about this.

On one hand I feel sorry for the people who’ve lost their homes and certainly feel for the Families of those lost in the fire.

However, it’s not like no one knew this could happen.

Sundance Rejects “Border” Documentary - Picks Movie About Guy “Loving” His Horse and Dying

There’s a new documentary out there that you need to watch. Chris Burgard said in an interview with Glenn Beck that he tried to get this movie into the Sundance Film Festival but that it was rejected in favor of a movie about a guy having sex with his horse and dying from the internal injuries. I’d love to meet their review board…or maybe not. But I wouldn’t expect less from the likes of something that Robert Redford is behind.

Stuck in the middle are the citizens of Spring Texas and the vast majority of them do not want the day labor sight in their beautiful town either.

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making The Team - WTH?

I caught my Wife watching a reality show titled, Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making The Team, the other night.

Has anyone saw this show on CMT?

Okay, let’s get some facts straight. I know this show must be over dramatized for the TV show. I can’t believe they actually go through that whole freakin’ routine just to be a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader.

If so, Jerry, let me save you some dough.  You don’t need that huge brew-ha-ha production to find a couple cheerleaders.

Trial of Former TSU President Priscilla Slade Declared a Mistrial

Well, it seems that the O.J. Jurors have come to roost in Houston.

Really, is there anyone you want to see less than your insurance agent?
