How high is too high?
This isn't a reflective piece by Cheech and Chong...we're talking about construction downtown, this time a 36-story condominum complex planned for Third Street, a block east of Lamar. Members of the Old West Austin Neighborhood Association want to wait to see city's entire plan for downtown before signing off the "ok" to build the ginormous building. They're afraid of what's coming....in other words, how many other towers are going to block their view. There's currently 13 projects in the works.

Britney gives birth
It's a Starbucks Frappacino, weighing in a 7 lb. 2 oz! No, it's really a boy, contrary to some trashy report we read a while back about B buying baby girl clothes. Brit, who we all love to hate, went with the Caesarean section, apparently to "avoid the pain of a natural birth." and another report is saying she named the baby Preston Michael Spears Federline.

Miggo,

Britney must have heard you about the PMS initials.

"While early word pegged the tot's moniker as Preston Michael Spears Federline, Britney apparently thought better of saddling him with the playground-target nickname of PMS Federline. "Access Hollywood" says they've gone with Sean Preston."

I dunno, pofwindsor...that sounds like a receipe for a hideous monster!

Oh wait...you said Vince Young. I read that as Vince Neil...you know...lead singer from Motley Crue.

I think it's time for me to go to bed.

OWANA isn't downtown - they're the old neighborhood west of Lamar. I'm disappointed they're being so irresponsible in this case.

Only if we could combine the DNA of Vince Young, Craig Biggio and Ronald Reagan - then and only then would we have the perfect human. Until then people should just abort the hell out of those effing fetuses.

I give her another couple of months until her and Cletus split. And then her kid's initials will be P.M.S.

Poor bastard doesn't even have a chance.

that's going to be one smart kiddo. i think he'll cure diabetes, cancer, and AIDS.

I'm confused. They're worried about towers blocking their view? I thought, when living downtown, the towers WERE the view.

PS. I hear Britney plans to carry little Preston with her to the clubs in a special little purse - take THAT Paris and Tinkerbell!

Ah girl! Slap!

"Preston" - i love how she thinks giving her kid a blue-blood name wil not make him white trash. and she really needed help getting a baby out of her? puhlease.
