Only the Dewhurst Bill raised enough hackles to general award-getting comments this week…although Margie scored points with this, excerpted from her comment posted in response to our coverage of the food and bands at Taste of Addison:
Foreigner? Scary.
Both the runner up and winner posted on D magazine’s SideDish–and both in regards to the Dewhurst Bill.
Runner up, Michael H, wonders:
Why does wine always get special legislation? They should go ahead and throw beer into that mix as well because there are just as many places where you can’t [get] certain beer. But, beer always seems to be left behind.
When news happens, Dallas Observer is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If the Dallas Observer matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
But the winner, by a narrow but definite margin, was one PotNet, who pushed the bill to a logical end:
I now propose The PotNet Bill, which will allow customers in Texas to carry their own food into a restaurant. It’s a free country, so why should I have to limit myself to the food a restaurant chooses to serve?
PotNet ironically wins a small pot for either indoor or outdoor plants. It came to us filled with cookies on a stick but, for some reason, is now just an empty vessel. Probably not worth the trek to our office, but if PotNet has a yearning to grow a sprig of parsley or maybe a couple dandelions–and save a buck or two–come on up.
