More on the Obama Bashing…
Peter GormanAnother very nice friend of mine passed along one of those made up letters spelling the end of the world today. It was stupid on the face of it, but I still took the time to look up everything in the letter in the Congressional...
Weekender for Fri., Oct. 2, 2009
Anthony MarianiTired of the same ol’ bars? Tired of seeing the same ol’ people and having the same ol’ convos? Well, tomorrow (Saturday) will be your chance –– daggum it! –– to do something different! From 3 to 10 p.m. on the ne...
Ted Williams’ Head Ain’t Right

Book, Rare Book On Bond, James Bond
Jeff PrinceA rare books auction in Dallas next month has an item sure to appeal to Baby Boomers who grew up devouring Ian Fleming books and watching James Bond movies. If I had an extra $40,000 or $50,000 lying around, I’d put in a bid ...
Lingerie Football Season Kicks Off
Anthony MarianiThe first games of the inaugural season of the Lingerie Football League were last week. Dallas’ team, the Desire, bested the Denver Dream in a match that was anything but a French-manicured-nail-biter, 20-6. The Desire is tie...
