U.S. Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson, who coasted unopposed to a 10th term last month, was on Fox News today to discuss the fiscal cliff. Johnson, for those of you who haven’t been paying attention, is a Democrat. Fox News host Neil Cavuto is — well he’s a Fox News host…

By Eric NicholsonDecember 13, 2012

By Eric NicholsonDecember 13, 2012

Virgil Slay was at home in Oak Cliff on the afternoon of October 1 when his landlord arrived to kick him out of the room he’d been renting from her. His refusal sent the landlord, 42-year-old Toni Faye Taylor, into a rage. According to a DPD incident report, she first…

Another UT Southwestern Employee Says He Was Fired for Reporting Animal Abuse

By Eric NicholsonDecember 13, 2012

Donna Pulkrabek says she was pushed out of her job at UT Southwestern in May after reporting mistreatment of laboratory animals even though, as manager of the school’s Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), that was her job.

By Eric NicholsonDecember 13, 2012

When Venezuelans Need Guns, It Seems, They Turn to a Parking Lot in Mesquite

By Eric NicholsonDecember 13, 2012

You can’t buy a gun in Venezuela. It’s illegal, and has been since the government of Hugo Chavez banned the private sale of firearms earlier this year as part of an effort to tackle the country’s sky-high murder rate: 19,336 last year, more than in Mexico, which is in the…

Dallas’ City Council Continued its Love Affair with Horses and Golf Yesterday. Plus: Bikes!

By Eric NicholsonDecember 13, 2012

The City Council’s agenda yesterday was chock full of actually interesting stuff. You can relive it any time you want through the city’s database of archived council videos. But just in case you have something better to do, we’ll summarize the high points. It’s Not Raining On Tennell Atkins’ Parade,…

‘I Shed Some Innocent Blood,’ Man Tells Police after Carving Pentagram into 6-Year-Old Son

By Eric NicholsonDecember 12, 2012

You probably noticed that today is December 12, 2012, or 12/12/12, which depending on who you ask is the Gregorian calendar’s last repeating date this century or the last date. Period. We’ll go ahead and assume Brent Troy Bartel falls into the latter camp. Police were dispatched to Bartel’s Richland…

Damien Falgoust, a Dallas Lawyer, Was Beaten into a Coma on Lower Greenville Last Week

By Eric NicholsonDecember 12, 2012

The last time friends saw Damien Falgoust conscious was about 1:30 a.m. Friday, when he was sharing post-game drinks with his kickball teammates at the Knox Street Pub. He left the bar, got into a taxi and set off for his condo near the intersection of Matilda Street and La…

By Eric NicholsonDecember 12, 2012

A garbage truck was making the rounds on Fort Worth’s east side at about 6:30 a.m. today when, after emptying a dumpster behind O’Reilly Auto Parts and turning on the compactor, they heard screams coming from the back of the truck. Matt Zavadsky, a spokesman for MedStar EMS, told CBS…

The State Fair Says Big Tex is Recuperating at a Spa, Which is Clearly Not the Case

By Eric NicholsonDecember 12, 2012

Yesterday, it would have been hard to imagine the Big Tex saga becoming even more absurd. Just think about it: a 50-foot-tall mechanical cowboy spontaneously bursts into flames and becomes the subject of weepy-eyed morning as if he were a Beatle. Yet today brings evidence that the story actually can…

Cathie Adams, Dallasite and Former Chair of the Texas Republican Party, Says “Obama Fried His Brain on Drugs”

By Eric NicholsonDecember 12, 2012

Cathie Adams served for less than a year as chair of the Texas Republican Party before being unseated in 2010, but she’s long been a fixture on Texas’ right wing, particularly as a leader of the virulently anti-abortion Texas Eagle Forum. It was in that role that Adams spoke alongside…

By Eric NicholsonDecember 12, 2012

After Botched Breast Implant, Irving Dr. Hector Oscar Molina Barred From Performing Surgery. He’s Opened a Family Practice Instead.

By Eric NicholsonDecember 12, 2012

In November 2011, a 28-year-old woman visited the Irving office of Dr. Hector Oscar Molina for an arm lift and breast implants.

Museum Tower’s Latest Salvo in Battle with Nasher Features Danny Glover and Is Pretty Bizarre

By Eric NicholsonDecember 11, 2012

It’s safe to say that Museum Tower is losing its public relations battle against the Nasher Sculpture Center. The Nasher has marshaled support from the city’s business and civic elite, successfully casting its neighbor as some hyper-phallic monstrosity bent on scorching anything in its path, while Museum Tower has a…

Arlington Finally Invents a Public Transit System Voters Can’t Reject: A Single Bus Route

By Eric NicholsonDecember 11, 2012

Dallas ISD Audit Says District Ignored Hiring Rules; District Says, Hey, That Audit’s Private!

By Eric NicholsonDecember 11, 2012

Plotting a new course for Dallas ISD was never going to be a quick or easy thing. It’s a huge bureaucracy and one that’s laden with problems, some that are common to all large, diverse urban school districts, some that are DISD-specific, a legacy of administrations passed. So Superintendent MIke…

How Dallas Attorney Patrick Robert Simon Launders Money For Drug Traffickers, And How He Got Caught Doing It

By Eric NicholsonDecember 11, 2012

In the fall of 2009, attorney Patrick Robert Simon was approached by a man who needed some financial planning advice.

With Spraying Over, Dallas County Will Test Mosquitoes For Insecticide Resistance

By Eric NicholsonDecember 10, 2012

The West Nile outbreak of 2012 isn’t officially over, at least not according to Dallas County health officials, but it may as well be. There hasn’t been a death reported in more than six weeks, the number of new cases is basically nil, and for most of us, the scenes…

By Eric NicholsonDecember 10, 2012

Hostess Used Workers’ Pension Contributions to Fund Day-to-Day Twinkie-Making

By Eric NicholsonDecember 10, 2012

Despite considerable evidence to the contrary, the unions-killed-the-Twinkie trope is still very much alive.
