"I'm Barry Green and I approved this Skattershooting":

• When an entertainer performs before a live audience, that audience should be banned from attempting to clap in unison.
• I don’t believe anything contained in any book that is sold as a “tell all” book.
• I really didn't pay much attention to Richard Clarke.
• Jimmy Buffett beats me down to no end. Just how many times can you hear Margaritaville?
• Kobe Bryant made it back from hearing in Colorado on March 24th just in time to score 36 points against Sacramento.
• Speaking of the Pledge of Allegiance, this article in Slate isn’t for everyone but, as a lawyer, I love everything this lady writes.
• The OSU basketball team has made it to the Final Four. Do you remember when the team's airplane went down in 2001 killing 10 people?
• Every time I look at the best seller list I see The Da Vinci Code.
• Jay Leno has signed a new contract worth $27 million a year. Is he worth that?
• Scooby Doo 2 opened up number one in the box office for the last week of March with receipts of  $29.4 million. Scooby Doo and Christ are the box office heavyweights. Only in the U.S.
• Paul Winfield, who played the greatest judge of any movie in Presumed Innocent, is dead at 62.
• How was Mark Cuban smart enough to make so much money?
• “TXU Corp.'s new chief executive will receive at least $4.75 million in salary and bonus for 2004 as part of his overall compensation plan, the company said in a regulatory filing Monday”. That explains the gas and electric bill.
• I already miss college football.
• The oral argument at the Supreme Court in the Pledge of Allegiance case (you know, that "under God" thing) was pretty good. When the Petitioner said the insertion of "under God" in the Pledge in the 1950s was "divisive", Justice Renquest noted that the vote in Congress was unanimous so "that didn't seem very divisive." The Petitioner replied that an atheist couldn't get elected to Congress in the 1950s.
• I predict Lebron James, the 19 year old phenom from the Cleveland Cavaliers, will be better than Michael Jordan.
• Speaking of James, have you seen his new commercial where, through trick photography, it looks like he is sinking five or six full court shots in a row?
• There is no more horrific murder than that allegedly committed by Deanna Laney who is accused of stoning her two children to death in Tyler.  It’s also a crazy world when the DA’s office places a copy of the indictment on the Internet.
• One of the craziest things about the case is that the State could not find an expert witness who would say she was NOT insane at the time. (This is amazing since there is someone who will say anything for the right price).  I'm not exactly sure what is going on out there, but the State called an expert witness who said exactly that: she was insane. How can the jury find her sane if there is no evidence to support it? Watch for the uproar when the jury finds her not guilty by reason of insanity.
• Howard Stern has launched an all out effort to defeat George Bush. I never listen to the guy, but do not underestimate him.
• The widow of Daniel Pearl, the reporter who was killed in Pakistan after 9/11, is seeking part of the 9/11 funds raised for those killing in the terrorist attack.
• Shirley Jones (that would be Shirley Partridge of that TV family) turned 70 today.
• Miami running back Ricky Williams cut off his dreadlocks. It just won't be the same.
• UT's athletic budget is $65 million. Texas Tech's is $23 million.
• TCU girl's coach Jeff Mittie got a DWI during the NCAA tournament and was allowed to coach. During the football season, assistant TCU coach Willie Mack Garza received a DWI and was suspended. What's the difference?
• I finally purchased a TIVO a couple of months ago. This thing is great! I have never run across anything so easy to operate and so useful.
• Hey Bobby Knight: Texas Tech ranked 325 out of 326 Division I schools in 3 point attempts. Come on! Let the boys jack it up every now and then.
• For you talk radio old timers, check out 990's new lineup (if you can pick up the station): David Gold and Kevin McCarthy are there just as they were back on KLIF in the 1990s.
• I like Countdown with Keith Olberman on MSNBC.
• The killing of Sheik Ahmed Yassin, the founder of the bloodthirsty Hamas, by Israeli helicopter gunships as he left a building in his wheelchair will cause a ton of bloodshed. 
• How the heck did the big gorilla get out of the Dallas zoo and how can the zoo open until that is figured out? By the way, I like monkeys, too, but a gorilla that has chewed on a three year old deserves to be shot. When it is man vs. gorilla and one or the other is likely to die, I'll kill the gorilla.
• The memorial for the gorilla borders on silliness. People don't often hold candlelight vigil for dead people.
• I despise Sean Hannity.
• Where did all this gay marriage come from? The Ticket's Gordon Keith was funny when he said, "Let them marry! Why do we wish to deprive them of the living hell that heterosexuals have to go through?!"
• The 9-11 hearings are nothing more than political grandstanding.
• There was nothing that could be done by Bush or Clinton to stop the terrorist attacks on 9-11. And something else will certainly happen in our future and there's nothing we can do to stop it either. Welcome to a free society.
• From the Kobe Bryant case I learned there is a "Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Abuse".  Hey, is anybody for it?
• Condoleezza Rice appears to be nervous every time she speaks.
• Emmitt Smith will be a backup this year for the Arizona Cardinals.  It's a sad state of affairs that he is allowing his career to end this way. But, it seems, it has always been about the money.
• The highest average baseball ticket belongs to the Boston Red Sox with $42.34. The lowest is Montreal at $9.00. Texas is 25th out of 40 with $19.32
• The Cowboys will open the 2004 season against the Minnesota Vikings. I predict the score will be 23-13. (Just kidding).
• "Will Quincy Carter end up being the quarterback?" is a constant question. Heck, he has been around for four years - he has become the Dallas quarterback.
• The biggest case you never heard of: In 2000, an Alabama jury awarded the State of Alabama $3.5 billion in a fraud case against Exxon. That judgment was reversed. In 2002, the case was tried again and this time Exxon was hit for $11.8 billion. (A judge just reduced the award to $3.6 billion)
• I don't think the Bridgeport wet-dry election will pass for a simple reason: It has simply too large of a church based population. Plus, those that want to drink are too lazy to go vote since they can get it pretty much anywhere in the county they want now.
• The Ballpark in Arlington is 10 years old. I actually went to an "open house" in February of the year that it opened. It never gets the credit it deserves as one of the great parks in America (and I have been to Fenway, Wrigley, Comiskey , Yankee Stadium, The Bank One Ball Park in Arizona, Safeco Field in Seattle, and that ballpark that Oakland plays in).
• Former Green Bay Packer great Paul Hornung is in big trouble for this statement:"We can't stay as strict as we are as far as the academic structure is concerned because we've got to get the black athlete."  On ESPN radio, I heard this phone call: "Before you get mad at Hornung, isn't he simply advocating  affirmative action?"
• A North Richland Hills pharmacist for CVS refused to fill a prescription for birth control pills to a 32 year old married lady. "I'm sorry, but I personally do not believe in birth control."  But here's a bottle of hydrocodone for you, sir.
• 7-11 is selling its Cityplace headquarters off Central Expressway for $124 million. That price is less than half of what it cost to build the structure in the 1980s according to the Dallas Morning News. I don't believe that.
• Any time I get a chance to see William Hung sing "She Bangs", I'm there.
