GravatarPolice say Dallas minister caught in Internet sex sting

BRYAN, Texas — A minister at a Dallas-area megachurch was charged with online solicitation of a minor after police said Friday he was caught in an Internet sex sting.

Undercover officers posing as a 13-year-old girl communicated with 52-year-old Joe Barron of Plano for about two weeks. The online conversations were sexual in nature, police said.

On May 6, Barron suggested meeting the girl in person. He eventually made the nearly 200-mile drive to Bryan on Thursday, when he was arrested. Police said they found a web-cam and condoms in his car.

Barron remained in Brazos County Jail on Friday on a $7,000 bond. Police were unsure if he had an attorney.

Barron is a minister at Prestonwood Baptist Church, one of the largest churches in the country with 26,000 members and 40 ministers. Mike Buster, executive pastor, said in a statement that the church had no record or knowledge of previous improprieties or saw any inappropriate behavior in the 18 months Barron was on the church staff.

GravatarThat was worse than the time I had to give Hitler a sponge bath!


GravatarI saw the couple on Bill Moyer's Show and was surprised at the woman's observation that she thought that Hillary had not been given a fair shake at being the nominee.

From my perspective, I cannot see this (But I am not seeing through her eyes) Is this belief widely held?

In a nutshell my perception is that Hillary had her choice of people and chose poorly. She failed to recognize that the world had shifted and that the old system she was used to, while still good enough, could be outflanked by something more nimble.

But I did not perceive this as a sexual discrimination thing. I see it more of an "Old guard" v the "New guard" sort of thing.

If SHE believes this, then her view must be respected. But, as I said, I am at a loss to explain it. But my equipment doesn't match and I am willing to accept that it might be my fault.

And because the lady is not a "Nut" her opinion is important to all of us and must be both respected and an attempt made to address the situation to her satisfaction - though that might not be possible.

And I have a complaint for teh Obama Camp as well.

It has always been my experience in dealing with racism that the answer to it is NOT to ignore it and hope it goes away or accept it and hope it will not harm you. These two answers are the worst things you can do.

Hatred for racial reasons (or sexual preference reasons) is rooted in ignorance. As long as the wall of ignorance are erected and unchallenged, the belief is as well. Choosing to not campaign in Kentucky or to cede West Virginia to Clinton is NOT in your interest, Barack.

Go to these places and introduce yourself. Show them you are not what they fear and might actually be something they could love. They are not going to come to you. That is the truth.

GravatarSparkle Plenty,

That is what I was trying to say. I do not agree with her assertions. But I was surprised with the vehemence that she used to describe her feelings about them. It was as if she were convinced that the reason that Hillary is NOT the nominee is that it was, somehow, wrested from her by the press and the politicians in charge of the process because Hillary is a woman.

I find her stated belief to be a bit frightening. For if she honestly believes that then she will never be as forcefully for Barack as she would be if she believed that he had won without the interference of the "Boys' Club."

Gravatar Sources said Corral had repeatedly expressed her dissatisfaction that Richmond introduces the lead news story each night. One of those sources said, ``It was obvious Elaine was not going to be satisfied unless she supplanted Dennis.''

Who knew they had a whole Hillary/Obama thing going on?


GravatarYou could do worse than a Ham Sandwich.


GravatarHere's some pictures of Elaine Corral trying to be a movie star.

There's a really weird story behind all that, I'm guessing...


GravatarHey, Steverino - you heard about Will Elder, right?

And Gene Colan ain't doing so hot, either...


GravatarI don't think it's finished the hat.

Hmmm... let me clean my glasses...


GravatarWell, much as I'd like to find out how the Thers mystery plays out

I'm guessing it was Col Mustard with a lead pipe in the rectory.


GravatarDid you guys watch Rachel Madow on Countdown?

Notice anything really different?


Utterly no mention of Hillary.

None.

Not one peep.


GravatarIs Thers being threatened?


Gravatar
There's a really weird story behind all that, I'm guessing...


She decided that rather than play a dignified, attractive, middle-aged woman, she wanted to be a 20 yr old sex symbol?


GravatarI'm guessing it was Col Mustard with a lead pipe in the rectory.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... Kentucky Fried Mustard!


GravatarIt's against state law for a political campaign to make automated phone calls to households on the federal no-call list.

But somebody forgot to tell the candidates.

The campaigns for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama fessed up this week to making "robo" calls to blocked Oregon numbers.

Both campaigns say they have stopped. And, for the record, they're sorry.

That was Col Mustard with his finger in the electric socket in the bathroom...


GravatarHmm, pointillist troll.

no, no - it's some sort of crude language, it's trying to tell us something ... (of course i mean: .. .)


GravatarGood midnight. I'm reading about orcs.


GravatarShe decided that rather than play a dignified, attractive, middle-aged woman, she wanted to be a 20 yr old sex symbol?

She "starred" in a self-financed movie of "Turn of the Screw". It was going to be her ticket to stardom.

Weird...


GravatarUtterly no mention of Hillary. None. Not one peep. ellroon bitterful

Worked to get Edwards to go away.


GravatarYeah, Hillary has virtually disappeared. My guess is it is part a herd mentality to anoint Obama, part her lack of $$$ and part the star power of Obama filling arenas.


GravatarSure, nothing, but nothing, says boffo big box-office in show biz like Henry James...


GravatarGood midnight. I'm reading about orcs.

GravatarPolitical calls are one of the exempted categories under the Federal Do-Not-Call list. (Polling calls for political or scientific purposes are another.) If Oregon's specific state law is tighter they really might not have been aware of it, esp. if the calls originated in another state as they most likely did.

still a bad move on the part of whever they contracted with to handle the matter.


GravatarWe don't have enough age-appropriate middle-age sex symbols.

My lovely wife and I were watching the DVD of "Mary Hartman" last week.

I'd forgotten Salome Jens turned up in that. Dear God, she was hot! I had a BIG crush on her when that first aired. That's when I realized "older" women were something to keep an eye out for.


GravatarIt's too hot to bake, but we have plenty of fresh, ripe strawberries.


GravatarGoodnight you wonderful ppls! Off to watch tv!

You've stolen all the heat. I went out tonight in a woolen sweater and my winter coat and that was just about enough.


GravatarGen. Ricardo Sanchez, Ret., is on the Charlie Rose Show. I recall he seemed pissed at the time the Boosh gang handed him the bag and pushed him out the window.

GravatarAge appropriate sex symbols?

You have heard of Helen Mirren and Charlotte Rampling, have you not?


GravatarIt's nothing new, but I can't relax 'cause I haven't done a thing and I can't do a thing 'cause I can't relax.

GravatarEchidne, it's cooled off to a comfortable 87.

I think it's around 40 here.


GravatarProfWombat, Monsieur is hot for Charlotte Rampling.  It's the Alsatian in him.  Or so he claims


GravatarConstitutionally, the President doesn't really run the country.


GravatarIsabelle Adjani, over 50, smokin' hot!

Sallyh, Grandmere Poissonniere


I had a strawberry Italian ice earlier this evening. It was very good.


GravatarSallyh,

Here in "Godforsaken" Michigan, the weather has just turned lovely and will stay that way until the Witch of November comes stalking once more.

Now, the trees have burst with life and are shedding their winter drabness with the most amazing displays of color. The dogwoods are blooming, the tulips are out, and the daffodils are everywhere. The grass has turned green and has already been shorn once and needs another trim in most cases.

Spring air has the most wonderful fragrance and texture: it smells of the new and sings of life.

Today we graced 70 and tomorrow will be about the same with light winds, bright sun, blue skies, and small waves on the azure blue waters of Lake Michigan. . . .


Gravatarsallyh: it's the y-chromosome in him.

It's usually the case that some gorgeous woman opens her mouth to act or speak and instantly loses the bulk of her appeal. Rampling does quite the opposite. Same for Helen Mirren.


GravatarNight, all


Peace.

GravatarI loved Morley Schafer's interview w/ Helen Mirren on 60 Minutes. You could see him fall a little in love with her right there on the tv screen.

GravatarTurned the heat off last month. Have good So. exposure to the sun, so even when the night temps drop to the upper 30's, it stays near 60 inside. The big sycamores are leafing out, so will have shade for all but 3 hrs. during the high summer.


GravatarJohn Philip Law, star of "The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming" and "Space Mutiny" is dead at 70.

He did a turn as Sinbad, too - and appeared on "The Young and the Restless."

BTW, it's my dream to be a regular bitplayer on a soap... the bartender that shows up in every episode, for example. Doesn't do anything but pour drinks and make small talk until one day the writers are desperate and it turns out he's an international spy...

One prevalent problem in nursing homes is elderly men getting aroused and hitting on female nurses. One theory is that there is a lack of cortical inhibition.

Boy were the cardiologists in yhe room pissed! (They both had a thang for me.)

It's the Y.


GravatarWell, I'm 58. DWD once got it just right. He said it's still lovely, it's still there, but it doesn't run your life the same way. But he said it better...


GravatarI remember the name of a favorite cat food for a pet in the 1970s

Had a German Shepard in the late 70's early 80's, mixed Bolo canned food with his dry food. Bolo smelled better than some of the dinners I cooked for the family. I am an excellent cook, just that dog food smelled just like a good roast beef sandwich.


GravatarProfWombat, perhaps some chocolate for the strawberries?  I have extra dark.

I'm constantly amazed by the remarkably disconnected, crazy things I remember that are of no utility at all: 50 year old singing commercials, odd bits of lyrics and poetry, the way something tasted one day...


GravatarI heard RFK Jr speak about his work on cleaning up the Hudson River. Very impressive. He and Seeger and others turned it from a cesspool back into a beautiful waterway (for the most part).

GravatarRobert Kennedy jr currently co-hosts Ring of Fire on Air America Radio with Mike Papantonio, despite suffering from spasmodic dysphonia, a disorder that makes speech difficult and causes the voice to sound quavery.


GravatarI finally got around to seeing "Iron Man".

Very enjoyable. Robert Downey Jr. was great, and I found Gwyneth Paltrow to be quite fetching as a redhead.

I really do understand, Erin; can't resist the "nya nya" sometimes, though. I lived just across the river in Battleground, at the base of Silver Star Mountain, and Amboy for 9 years (and in the Eugene/Oakridge for another 4). Anything above about 90 degrees just sucks in the Willamette Valley. I really do symathize with what you are dealing with right now after the nasty cold wet spring we just had...


GravatarMolly, both my daughter and my niece loved Madeleine.

I actually never minded reading the books to them.

GravatarDidn't notice this yesterday, but Joe Biden actually called it bullshit:

Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.), piling on to Democratic complaints about President Bush’s speech in Israel today:

“This is bullshit, this is malarkey. This is outrageous, for the president of the United States to go to a foreign country, to sit in the Knesset ... and make this kind of ridiculous statement.”

Speaking before the Knesset, Bush said that “some people” believe the United States “should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along."
