I really believe the if you shoot a cop or a public official you should get the death penalty. Those that risk their lives to keep us safe are in a special category in my mind. We can't end up like Mexico or some other countries where they fear for the lives. I don't have any argument with that, bu...

I watch The Espy's. I still get teary when I watch Valvano's Don't Ever Give Up Speech.
The Stuart Scott thing was pretty emotional, too.

A pretty good watch as award shows go...

well. I think it got a lot of play nationally, because we in Texas were killing so many of them each month that it was reported on both sides of the issue much more than it is now. And those that oppose it tire of talking to brick walls, and people who ridicule them for feeling differently than the...

THAT'S who should have been detained. And no, I don't think he is a dualie. He has done some things that could call him into question, I guess.. a Cuba trip.. now N Korea...

Well, the Houston Chronicle doesn't count because it's basically the Huntsville newspaper. Fifteen years ago I would have known about the protesters because it would have been reported by Dallas Morning News, Washington Post, New York Times, video of the demonstrators leading the 10:00 news in Dalla...

Why would anyone be on a tour bus in N Korea? Any American, anyway.

Techinically I don't have grandkids, but since some people call me their grandma I guess I can say that I am both. I suppose one day I will have actual grandchildren but I am in no rush.... You are too young to understand this, but while kids are a good thing, they can't hold a candle to grandkids....

Well I want to see you hang around, too :D I can say my Grand Kids are a whole better behaved that their parents, or their grand pa 8-) My kids and my grandkids are better than I was because I did more stuff than they could ever imagine. I don't want them to do the stuff I did! Nor even know about ...

Good question. My granddad taught me many decades ago that "there are some folks that just need a good killing". Ric disagrees with this, and I love him like a brother, but on this one we disagree.[/quote] My Daddy used to say the very same thing. I loved him, but I always thought he was w...

Ric, what cases are you for it if any? I'm for it in the case of the boy in Irving who beat up that 85 year old woman in Irving who was just walking along minding her own business. And I would have been for it if that little 3 year old kid in the story that was posted today had died. There's a part...

Fifteen years ago this would have been front page news and they would have been demonstrating in Huntsville, covered by TV news stations. What happened? Well, it WAS front page news in the Chronicle. And there were peaceful protesters outside the gates in Huntsville. What makes you think there were...

To be fair, *I* wrote that .. the story on Rangers 411 said this in the headline: MLB CONFIRMS DARVISH ILLEGAL GAMBLING INVESTIGATION

there IS an Investigation, and MLB has confirmed they are looking into Yu's involvement. Nothing More. Nothing Less, either.

VERY COOL STORY..

Ric, Pope Benedict XVI criticized liberation theology for being Marxist. I don't know about the International Communism infiltration charge, but when he was Cardinal Ratzinger, as prefect of the CDF, he prohibited dissident priest from teaching the Marxist elements of liberation theology. Priest wer...

Texas First execution 0f 2016 is behind us.

Yes, some of us are still not totally behind it.

makes very little sense to you perhaps but lots of the churches in 'los angeles' are full of poor illegal aliens from south of the border , probably the same thing is Texas , Arizona , yada , yada Ric !! Yada yada? The Latins have ALWAYS been predominatly Catholic. Why would it be a surprise that t...

Heh. I doubt it.
