As President Barack Obama was praising Obamacare volunteers at Dallas' Temple Emanu-El last week, conservative activist James O'Keefe was plotting a visit of his own. O'Keefe, whose video stings have successfully taken down the community group ACORN and an NPR executive, had members of his Project Veritas team visit local...
Those who have spent the last decade or so calling Margaret Hunt Hill's namesake a bridge to nowhere are running out of nothingness to shake their fingers at in contempt. Restaurants are sprouting out of a once-barren patch of ground in West Dallas, one after the other, each marked by...
Well folks, we've got a slow show week upon us. Which makes sense, considering we're all taking our Christmas trees down and recovering from all the holiday hoopla that has taken over our day-to-day lives for the last couple of months. Though quantity may be low, quality is high. Between...
Solemn as a funeral march, humorless as your junior high principal, as Japanese as a grocery-store California roll, Keanu Reeves' let's-mope-about-and-kill-ourselves samurai drama has exactly three things going for it.

Jeremy Varnell's family didn't notice anything out of the ordinary when the Flower Mound police sergeant left town to run in Sunday's Rock 'N' Roll Marathon in San Antonio. The friends he dined with after the race didn't either. The first hint that something might be wrong came the next...
Things are starting to pick back up around here, Dallas. More than halfway through the first month of the year, the show calendar has returned to it's regular active programming. The week we've got lined up couldn't be a more diverse range of ground covered. Starting off, we've got one...

James O'Keefe may be the motive force behind Project Veritas, the conservative nonprofit that has taken down ACORN, an NPR executive and now a handful of health-insurance navigators, but its latest undercover video sting wouldn't have packed the same punch had it been him walking into the Urban League of...
Last week, Governor Rick Perry's chief of staff Brandy Marty -- his newest appointee to the Public Utility Commission -- broke the deadlock between commissioners Donna Nelson and Ken Anderson over just how much intervention the electricity market needs right now. Both Nelson and Marty signaled their interest Friday in...

Hence last year's decision by voters in Colorado and Washington to legalize the stuff and the corresponding announcement by the Justice Department that, so long...
Every year, it seems, the War on Christmas creeps earlier and earlier into the season. A week or two back, some rogue PTA moms in Frisco were defeated in a minor skirmish. This week, with Thanksgiving still two days away, Fort Worth-based RadioShack, has launched a full-frontal assault on baby...
