Well, it's halftime and I have a few observations:

1) Special teams- God gave you two arms; wrap them around someone and make a tackle.

2) Offensive line- try to block someone.

3) Romo- that brown oblong thing is a football; don't put it on the ground.

4) Garrett- when nothing is open up in the middle, you can call a play to try to run it outside.

5) Bobby Carpenter- you're a waste of a number 1 pick. Why is it when we finally see you, you make an illegal block in the back? You don't deserve to wear Randy White's # 54!!! Please go to the Dolphins and get off my team.

6) Defense- good job!

7) Crayton- the jury is still out on you, but thank you for making a crucial catch.

8) Cardinals and refs- thank you for letting us stay in this game.

9) Folk, don't be afraid to hit someone (you have pads on) and don't hit the uprights; it's supposed to go between them.

Cowboys, I still love you guys, but pull your heads out and do something in the second half.  Now excuse me while I go throw up!

It's refreshing when a politician comes out and tells the truth. Last night, McCain did just that when he said "It's easy for me to go to Washington and, frankly, be somewhat divorced from the day-to-day challenges people have."

I see a pattern with talk radio and conservative bloggers. It seems that every time the right wing talk radio shepherds come up with a new phrase for Obama, the flock of sheep suddenly turn into a bunch of parrots. At first Obama was described as barack "HUSSEIN" obama, then an elitist, then arrogant  and now he is the messiah. I can hardly wait to see what's next.

If you feel it is necessary to call  names and use catch phrases, please show your wit and cunningness by being original.

Billionaire oilman T. Boone Pickens has a plan to help us reduce our dependency on foreign oil. And he is betting his own money that this plan will be a success. I, for one, say thank you Mr. Pickens. It seems our elected officials and entrepreneurs have drug their feet long enough.

If the Packers don't want Favre, we'll take him here in Dallas.   But of course, he'd have to be Romo's backup. This would finally give Favre a chance to win in Texas Stadium. LOL

Seriously though, the Packers should welcome Brett with open arms. I would understand a change at the quarterback position if his abilities were in decline, but he still remains one of the elite quarterbacks in the NFL. And the last time I looked, great quarterbacks don't grow on trees.

After a 13-3 no playoff win season, there is some speculation about the future of Wade Phillips as the Cowboys' head coach. Mike Florio recently made a list of the top ten NFL coaches that could possibly lose their jobs after this upcoming season. Normally, being #1 is a good thing, but not this time. Florio's column has Phillips on top of the list.

With the big contract to Jason Garrett, and having both of the other Garrett boys, John and Judd, employed by the Cowboys, it appears the writing is on the wall. With all of the pro-bowlers on this team, Jerry Jones expects to have some playoff success this year. If that success doesn't come, a head could roll. That being the head of Wade Phillips.

I understand that people have pride in where they or their families came from. But for most, this pride is secondary to the pride they feel for being an American.I don't understand the "in your face" tactics by Mexicans in this country. Many of them try to provoke fights and arguments. What good does angering those on the other side of your issues really accomplish?



Here is a video of one vet that had enough of those tactics. Take note of the Mexicans that were offended. I guess they didn't love "their" flag enough to stop him from throwing it on the ground.

The senate passed Bush's proposed Merida Initiative June 26. For those that are unfamiliar with the M.I., it is an anti-drug assistance deal with Mexico. In short, we give them money and their corrupt government officials, military, and cops will stop the drug trade. Yeah right, I see that happening. The U.S. will give Mexico $400 million and other Central American nations will receive $65 million. The story can be read here.

And by the way, we will give them this money with no stipulations.

Why would anyone think this is a good idea? I think we've been scammed!

This is one of my favorite George Carlin bits. Simply genius!!
