Super Bowl XLII Commercials-10:47 left in the First Quarter

Two commercial were broadcast with 10:47 left in the first quarter.

Number 1: Bud Lite-The Ability to Breath Fire

I posted a clip of this commercial earlier this past. A man is sitting at a formal dining table and he lights the candles with his breath. He then jumps up and asked his beautiful date if she has a cat. He begins sneezing and lights everything on fire, including the cat and his date. VERY FUNNY

Number 2: Audi

This commercial started like the horse head scene from “The Godfather.” A man waked up in his bed, and is covered in oil. He throws back the covers and finds the grill of his Mercedes Benz. He begins screaming. The next shot is an Audi G8 sitting outside his house. It speeds off and the screen says, “The Old Luxury just got put on notice. GOOD, BUT NOT GREAT. I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE GOT THE CONNECTION.

Super Bowl XLII Pre Game Activities

Jordin Sparks, winner of American Idol 6 snag the National Anthem before the coin toss of Super Bowl XLII. She is also he daughter of former New York Giants football player Phillippi Sparks.

Her rendition of the National Anthem was less than I expected. I do not care if she did win American Idol 6. She tried to use our National Anthem to showcase her vocal range and ability. She gets a D in my book for her performance. It should be against the law to sing the anthem of our country in any way other than a tradition performance. Singing up and down the octave is disrespectful.

On a positive note, as the panned each team’s sideline during the anthem, the camera picked up many of the players during the anthem. A few stood there, and some were in the traditional football stance of placing a hand on the teammates shoulder to the right.

However, the camera caught New England patriot quarterback Tom Brady with his hand over his heart as he sang along with the National Anthem. In my humble opinion, he is tops in my book. He was showing his love and respect for the United States. If that is all I saw of him during the game, that would be enough for me to judge him as a person in a positive light.

Tom Brady…You are tops in my book and a true American.

Live Blogging of Super Bowl XLII Commercials

I will begin live blogging of Super Bowl XLII commericals in about 3 hours (give or take a few minutes). Below is a summary of the Super Bowl ads, as compiled by Sports Business Daily,

First quarter: Bud Light (two), Bridgestone Firestone, Car.com, Dell, FedEx, GoDaddy.com, Gatorade, Diet Pepsi Max, Pepsi Stuff, Salesgenie.com, Under Armour.

Second quarter: Budweiser, Bud Light, Audi, Bridgestone Firestone, Careerbuilder,com, Doritis, Gamin, GMC/Yukon, Planters, SoBe Life Water, Tide, T-mobile, Toyota, the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, Paramount/Marvel (Iron Man).

Third quarter: Bud Light (two), Bridgestone Firestone, Careerbuilder.com, Cars.com, Coca-Cola, eTrade, Vitaminwater, Hersey's Ice Breakers, Hyundai (two), Salesgenie.com, NFL (featuring Ephraim Salaam and Chester Pitts of the Texans).

Fourth quarter: Bud Light, Coca-Cola, eTrade, PepsiCo Amp, Sony Pictures (You Don't Mess with the Zohan), Taco Bell, Toyota, Sunsilk, Victoria's Secret.

To Be Announced: Disney Studios (for Wall-E and The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian), Fox Studios (Jumper), Doritos, New Line Cinema (Semi-Pro), NFL Network, Toshiba, Universal Pictures (for Wanted and for Leatherheads).

A few ad details gleaned from newspaper accounts and assorted press releases have filtered out and are as follows:

The SoBe Life Water spot will feature supermodel Naomi Campbell and, apparently, a group of unclad reptiles.

NFL Network's "Bold Predictions" continues last year's theme of preseason predictions gone awry, as in a fan saying of Giants quarterback Eli Manning, "The closest Eli comes to a Super Bowl ring is when he gives Peyton a manicure."

Under Armour's 60-second spot for a new line of shoes will feature more than 25 athletes, including softball pitcher and Olympic gold medalist Cat Osterman of Houston.

Sunsilk, a hair care brand from Unilever, will feature Madonna, Shakira and Marilyn Monroe in its spot.

The Wall Street Journal reports that PepsiCo's plans include a 60-second music video featuring a song selected by fans. Finalists include Kina Grannis, Landon Austin and Nivia. The winner's song will be released as a single by A&M.

Also from the WSJ: One of Coca-Cola's ads features a Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade balloon fight involving Underdog, Stewie (from Family Guy) and Charlie Brown balloons. Another features former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and political consultant James Carville.

The Associated Press says one of PepsiCo's ads will feature a 60-second visual without sound in which two deaf people are driving to a friend's house at night but are unsure of the location until they honk their car horn repeatedly. That enables them to determine that the only house that remains dark is that of their friend. The spot has gotten a thumb's up from the National Association of the Deaf, the AP reported. Another PepsiCo ad will feature singer Justin Timberlake, the Wall Street Journal says.

Planters will use its ad to launch a new line of snack foods, and Dell will announce a partnership a company that donates a portion of sales proceeds to treat AIDS patients in Africa, according to Brandweek.

Taco Bell's ad will launch a new Fiesta Platters meal, the company says.

The AP says that one of Bridgestone's three ads will feature a car about to run over Richard Simmons and that Audi's ad will have Godfather theme.

Let's get to the game.......and the commercials.

Criminal Aleins Flee Arizona, Oklahoma; Head for Texas

The Houston Chronicle had an article on February 3, 2008 concerning the recent influx of criminal aliens into Texas because of the clampdown on illegal immigration and their enables in Arizona and Oklahoma.

New laws recently went into effect in those two states and the criminal aliens are finding to too tough to stay there. So where do they head? TEXAS.

The laws that are causing these mass-migrations are as follows:

• Oklahoma: The statute, which took effect in November, makes it a crime to transport, harbor or employ illegal immigrants.

• Arizona: Effective Jan. 1, 2008, the law suspends the business license of employers who knowingly hire undocumented workers. On a second offense, the license is revoked.

If we (Texas and USA) followed the same policies, the criminal aliens would leave. Their benefits would be dried up and they would scurry away like the vermin they are.

The bleeding-heart liberals want to flood this country with more and more people who will support their causes and ensure their continued control of our society.

What is despicable is that they will go to any lengths to achieve their goals. They support these criminals (illegal aliens) but would not want them living in their neighborhoods, coming into their homes, dating their sons and/or daughters, or becoming in any way, shape, or form, friends with these people.

They want to use them to gain their support. They are playing the criminal aliens as fools. The funny thing is that the criminal aliens are too caught up in their own criminal activities to realize they are being used by the very people who claim to support them.

Field of Dreams-A GREAT Sports Movie

As everyone who read this blog knows, Texas Truth loves movies. There is nothing better than watching a movie and escaping to anotehr time and another place.

The best types of movies, in my humble opinion, are sports and war movies. I absolutely love both. What red-blooded American man does not?

I was sitting in my favorite recliner this evening, surfing the channels and I came across one of my favorites, Field of Dreams.

Yes, I know it is a corny movie, but I LOVE it. It brings back so many memories of my childhood following baseball. You see, mu favorite team was the Pittsburg Pirates. I lived and died with the Pirates. I have the chance see them for the first time live as a sophomore in high school. I was on the high school band trip to Houston and we got to go to the Astrodome to see the Houston Astros play the Pirates.

Long before that, I loved baseball but after that, my love for baseball grew with every moment. I never was a good player. I played Little League as a youth but never was any good.

As I got older, I enjoyed the game more and more, and after a while, my interests went in other directions.

Recently, I have made complete circle and renewed my love of the game. As a teenager and young adult, I remember my father talking about baseball. I found out he played at the minor league level when he was younger. I know he never made it to the Bigs, but I remember to this day when I found out my father was, for a short time, a professional baseball player, made me wonder what else there was about my father I never knew.

I guess that is why I love the movie Field of Dreams so much. It is so much about America and family. It is so much about what makes this country that I love so much as great as it is.

There are two parts of the movie that really stand out in my mind. The first part is them Terrance Mann, played by James Earl Jones does the soliloquy about baseball. I have posted it below.Please read it and think about what it means to you.

Ray, people will come Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won't mind if you look around, you'll say. It's only $20 per person. They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have and peace they lack.

And they'll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come.

No one else could have delivered this speech as Jones did. It was perfect. It really sums up what the country is all about. I will post more on this later.

The second part is when Ray Kinsella, played by Kevin Kinsella, sees his father on their field and begins to talk to him. His reaction when he realizes that the catcher is his father is priceless,

At the end of the scene, there is a brief two-line part of the movie. It goes as follows:

Ray Kinsella: [choked up] "You wanna have a catch?"
John Kinsella: "I'd like that."

I do as many men all over America do when they see that part. I cry. Yes, I admit it, I cry like a baby.

One cannot be a red-blooded American man and not be chocked up by that part. Every time it comes on, I watch it, knowing that it is going to chock me up. I cannot help it. I guess it is like therapy.

In any case, Field of Dreams is one of my top 10 favorite sports movies. I bet it is one of your favorites too.

In closing, have a good evening and come back tomorrow for my post on the Super Bowl commercials of 2006

Super Bowl XLII Commercials

Tomorrow is the Super Bowl. For 42 years the NFL has held the Super Bowl to determine the champion of the NFL.

The best part of the Super Bowl is the commercials. Companies spend millions of dollars to advertise their wares during the Super Bowl.

I will be live blogging during the Super Bowl to provide coverage of the commercials. In the past, some are good, some are bad, and some are great.

I did the same thing during last year's Super Bowl. Take care and enjoy.

Whiskey For My Men, Beer For My Horses

Texas Truth LOVES good movies and good songs. With all the CRAP going on in the world, good honest people need to make a stand. I cannot think of a better song and video to emphasize the action we need to take.

Toby Keith sings the song "Whiskey For My Men, Beer For My Horses" and produced a video for it. Some of the words in the song speak volumes of what we need to do in this country and the world. Read those words below and see if your do not agree.

Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune
And we'll all meet back at the local saloon
We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces
Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses.

Now here is the video. Enjoy and remember,

"If a frog had wings, he wouldn't bump his ass!"

Houston Police Chief Refuses To Train Officers To Enforce Immigration Laws

In a story from the Houston Chronicle Houston Police Chief Harold Hurtt made it clear Thursday that his department will be taking on ICE duties any time soon. Hurtt said enforcing immigration law in Houston would tie up officers and add long delays to police response times.

I am amazed of the total disreguard that Hurtt has for the law in allowing criminals to roam the streets of Houston. He states that if his officers enforce immigration laws, it would not allow his officers to enforce local laws.

If HPD enforced immigration laws, local crime WOULD decrease. Criminal aliens DO commit local crimes. If you look at his decision, it is clear, at least to me, what he is doing.

He is promoting a liberal agenda. He is pandering the the Hispanic population. He has only been employed in two other police forces in his career (Phoenix, Arizona and Oxnard, California), both cities of which have predominately Hispnaic populations.

Coud he be looking at a possible political run in the future? It would not surprise me. He stands up for criminal aliens, which in the three cities he has worked are Hispanic, and he gains their votes.

That is a typical liberal viewpoint. I would be willing to bet he supports either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton for President.

Add that to the fact that his family does not even live in Hosuton. They still reside in Phoenix. That fact alone shows his lack of loyality to Houston.

Hurtt stated "officers dont want to enforce immigration." I wonder who was he talking about? I am willing to bet that many HPD officers want to arerst criminal aleins.

This guy needs to enforce all laws or get out of the job.
