An Experiment in Scotch

News­flash: Idiots run in the street, sur­prised peo­ple hate them. The atti­tudes of the run­ners inter­viewed in the story make me less likely to be sym­pa­thetic to their causes. They don’t have a right of way in the street and deserve any tick­ets that come their way. Blam­ing the High­land Park “Bub­ble atti­tude” is ridiculous.

The Dal­las City Coun­cil is giv­ing away tax­payer money and almost no one seems to give a fly­ing fuck about it. The short­sight­ed­ness and me-first atti­tudes of many on the coun­cil will even­tu­ally come back to haunt Dal­las, prob­a­bly sooner rather than later. How­ever, much like chil­dren with no disi­pline, the Coun­cil seems to have …

Let the com­pe­ti­tion begin. South­west is going to start fly­ing to Mis­souri almost imme­di­ately and Amer­i­can is already feel­ing the heat. It still bog­gles my mind that our own rep­re­sen­ta­tives (See whiny Joe Barton-R Ennis) would be cam­paign­ing against the Wright repeal when it means more com­pe­ti­tion and lower prices. Already, Amer­i­can has had to …

Glenn Mitchell has passed away. This is a sad time for Dal­las, Dal­las pub­lic radio and the thou­sands of lis­ten­ers, includ­ing myself, that truly enjoyed lis­ten­ing to the Glenn Mitchell show. His humor and no-nonsense approach to inter­views was refresh­ing and pleas­ing. I’ll truly miss Every­thing You Ever Wanted to know, his weekly pro­gram on …

The DMN has another story on the FBI cor­rup­tion inves­ti­ga­tion going on. This one focuses on Don Hill and goes in to famil­iar ter­ri­tory, specif­i­cally his trou­bles with the IRS, his trou­bles with money in gen­eral and his trou­bles with the state bar asso­ci­a­tion. I feel things start­ing to gain momen­tum here.

The Dal­las Morn­ing News finally says some­thing about the devel­op­ing scan­dal at City Hall that Jim Schutze over that The Observer has been cov­er­ing for weeks. Appar­ently, things are get­ting very seri­ous down in Austin regard­ing the ram­pant cor­rup­tion here in our fine metrop­o­lis. The arti­cle notes: The House Gen­eral Inves­ti­gat­ing and Ethics Com­mit­tee said Wednes­day …

Bad stuff con­tin­ues to hap­pen at City Hall. Fantroy and Hill, the two mem­bers that the FBI is look­ing into, just so hap­pen to have the IRS after them as well. Both men have tax liens filed against them and have a his­tory of tax prob­lems with the IRS. These are your south Dal­las elected …

Things are def­i­nitely afoot down at Dal­las City Hall. The FBI showed up today and searched the office and law office of Coun­cil­man Hill and the secu­rity com­pany run by Coun­cil­man Fantroy. I don’t sup­pose this might have any­thing to do with the lit­tle dis­cus­sions that have been going on down in Austin, would they? …
