Harris county has voter registration records on line too. Lots of socalites who have been hiding their ages for years have been outed as being in their 60s.

There's one little property (land valued at about $42k, unimproved) with a different address than their home one, and another little property with the same address as their home address. Both of those are probably just to have a bigger yard. Maybe they are using a side door as the front door or something. Anyway, I didn't want to overload everyone with information.

When I was in college, I had a job doing research into candidates backgrounds. I checked their voting records, property records, property tax records. It took a couple of weeks just to find all the information on microfiche.

Now, I know I want to hang with ltl and TF and learn the ways of the world.

Maybe I will become a private eye.

Edited to add, the market value of the actual home (according to the tax people) is $689k and appears to be adjacent to the country club. Perhaps when he is home he can just go out in the back yard and yell her name to ruin her amongst those Ft. Worth power brokers.

What's so great about that?!? 689K??? That's like lower class middle class. This guy's dreaming if he thinks he's anyone's superior at anything. Sheeeesh, what the fuck is wrong with these people?

Prisoner Wants Sex Change at Taxpayers' Expense
Thu Jul 17,12:57 PM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!



ALBANY, N.Y. (Reuters) - A convicted murderer wants the state of New York to pay $500,000 for his sex change and a key ruling in his case has moved him closer to his dream of serving the rest of his sentence in a women's jail.



Mark Brooks, 34, who calls himself Jessica Lewis, and claims to be "a girl inside," sued New York almost three years ago for treatment for his Gender Identity Disorder but has not received medical treatment.


In a 19-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Lawrence Kahn said Brooks should be allowed to talk to doctors about requests for hormone therapy, breast implants, and "genital reassignment."


Kahn said "deliberate indifference to serious medical attention" may be a violation of the Eighth Amendment, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. He questioned the "puzzling distinction" officials make between hormone treatment before and after imprisonment.


.....




Putnam County District Attorney Kevin Wright, who prosecuted the case against Brooks, told the New York Post that it was "appalling" that the victim's mother, a taxpayer, may be paying for the sex change

That's why you shouldn't vote for that prosecutor when he inevitably runs for the legislature. I say make sex changes for prisoners freely available. Nay, compulsory! Recidivism will plummet when they discover that no number of second offenses will ever purchase the return of a fully functional penis, and they will meekly return to socially productive, traditional female jobs like homemaker, nurse, court reporter, or Lawtalkers admin.

I caught snippets of this last night. Please. Jenny from the block making red beans and rice for whoever the Dateline interviewer was, using a Country Crock butter plastic container as a mixing bowl. Ben walking in and marvelling at Jenny from the Block's cooking prowress. The two walking hand in hand on a dock. Jenny from the Block talking about how she will keep her name professionally, but will be Jennifer Affleck.* The two discussing their nuptuals and how important commitment is to them.

*This part makes me happy because then we can call her J-A, or on formal occasions, JackAss. Did she take any of her other husbands' names? J-O or J-J?

The blond guy with the Lara Flynn Boyle upper lip was hilarious. And I loved the way they sat around and gossiped about the girls at the gallery -- "she so wants to jump him," etc.

TV Comments
 
My cable went out last night, so I was stuck watching regular TV. What the heck was the point of ABC's Disco Ball? I confess it was strange to be sitting on my couch instead of in Jacques* watching a drag show. Some men (Bruce Vilanch) should not use bright red lipstick.

If you get BBC America check out the new comedy Super Hero. Caught an episode on Wednesday night before the cable went out, it's hysterical. Ardal O'Hanlon (Dougal in Father Ted) plays Thermoman/George Sunday. It's on Wednesday nights at 9.

I forgot the part where the interviewer asked whether Matt Damon would give a toast at the wedding. Jenny from the Block has this look like "over my dead body", then covered by mentioning that Casey, and not Matt, would be best man.

Also, Jenny from the Block does not let Ben get a word in edgewise. He appeared irritated to me. He is a Fucking Moron.

All jokes aside, this guy was acting like (trying to act like) the creme of the crop and his folks' house is only worth $700k? You need at least a $2 million abode to talk like that. I guess true old money wouldn't have even thought about writing that email though, right Paigow?

Pat Robertson, asking for God to "Retire" Three Liberal Justices

Dear God:

Your faithful servant,

Pat

OK, I'm sure this was directed in part at me, so I'll bite, even if I know I'm going to regret it.

The idea of praying for guidance or even praying for your own needs and desires or the needs and desires of others around you makes a lot of sense to me. I believe that Jehovah is just and caring and will listen to our prayers; but Jehovah is also all knowing and works in mysterious ways. The presumption of the Pat Robertson's of the world is to claim to know both what Jehovah desires for us and how Jehovah will steer us there. Pat Robertson, like many others, has fallen to the temptation to pray for Jehovah to do what Pat desires rather than to pray for guidance from above.

There's nothing offensive to me in ridiculing him a bit for this; he has been presumpsuous in his prayers and, in my mind, doesn't really appreciate the worth of prayer. However, just as I'm fairly immune to a few jokes about my religion (heard most of them before), I'd bet he is pretty immune to the barbs as well. Maybe we would all be better off praying for guidance for Mr. Robertson?
