While the local GOP suffered its mood swings at the Hotel Palomar, Eddie Bernice Johnson's Republican challenger in the Fighting' 30th, Stephen Broden chose Frankie's in Uptown as his Official Election Night Results-Watching Party Zone. That Unfair Park dispatched an ex-intern to cover the doings might give you an idea...

The Dallas Police Department sends word this evening: The Humane Society of the United States shot some undercover video of what sounds like a mammoth cockfighting operation in Southeast Dallas -- where, the release says, "cruel cockfights were reportedly occurring in a large run-down structure on a regular basis." As...
At the risk of sounding 103 years old, I need to ask a question: What has happened to football? On 105.3 The Fan I co-host the weekly radio shows of Dallas Cowboys' defensive players Jay Ratliff (Mondays 6 p.m.) and DeMarcus Ware (Wednesdays 2:15). Each week they bemoan not being...

When we first see Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) in The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, the final adaptation of Stieg Larsson's "Millennium" trilogy, she is being transported to a hospital in Gothenburg, bloodied almost beyond recognition, the result of a bullet put in her brain by Zalachenko, her barbaric...
Sarah Jaffe, Bosque BrownWyly TheatreFebruary 12, 2011Better than: another show in another bar, as Jaffe so put it early on in her performance on Saturday night. Once upon a time, she was a shy performer, perhaps too concerned with making any on-stage mistakes before her attentive audience. But that was...

So we can hear the wolves howling in the forest now. They begin to circle. The deliberate devastation by Rick Perry Republicans of public school funding in Texas is probably going to spell the end of the magnet school system and bring horrendous classroom overcrowding to Dallas public schools, along...

The Gay Blades
Airily disregarding the Hemingway Unadaptability Principle, this quaintly racy version of Papa's most hated novel has a few bullets in its barrel: Dynasty scion Jack Huston, as the Hem avatar, is dull but physically a perfect fit, the Mediterranean tourist-porn is addictive and the story, unique in this particular corpus,...
Groundhog Day: It's Election Day. Gotta say something pithy about politics, even though we're going to press before results are in. "Nation's course at stake today," the Morning News' front page blared today. Wow, that's pretty big stuff. Gotta pontificate. Gotta earn that paycheck. Hmm... Let's see. As usual, Buzz...
Is "authentic" Chinese cuisine within Dallas city limits a good thing? That was the question my friends and I were left with when we paid a post-Christmas lunch visit to Royal China last Sunday. The immediate answer would be "yes, of course," right? Driving out to the suburbs for an...
Back in September, the Drug Enforcement Administration announced that it had arrested several alleged members of "violent local street gangs," which included the Highland Hills Posse and the NFL Boyz. Among those snapped up during "Operation Greedy Grove" was 31-year-old Ronald Alexander, otherwise known as "Ron Don," who today pleaded...

Cliff Lee left. Zach Greinke never arrived. Neither Vladimir Guerrero nor Bengie Molina were invited back. But the biggest, most unlikely conundrum for your Texas Rangers this off-season: Michael Young is still here. That is, unless somebody misplaced the Claw or the Antlers, too? To say the least, this hasn't...
On Monday we sneak-peeked the ordinance creating those so-called Solicitation-Free Zones in downtown, Deep Ellum, Uptown and Victory; yesterday, with little to say other than "yay," the council approved the revision to the City Code, adding to the existing law a $500 fine for panhandlers and extending its enforcement hours...
Watching the real news some nights has its advantages. Like this gift sure to keep on giving, for instance, which was wedged almost unnoticed at 10:23 in between awkward election-result wraps: WFAA-Channel 8 just ran Rebecca Lopez's story about how city council member Carolyn Davis might well have interfered with...
Taylor Young and John Pedigo have finally finished setting up their instruments, a handkerchief, a Texas flag and some other artifacts in front of an old, low-hanging tree in Lakewood's Tietze Park. The two members of The O's sit in the middle of it all with rather somber looks on...
Street tacos, whether presented with an upscale twist or served fast and fresh, are becoming part of the cuisine code in Dallas. As a proportional response, we asked photographer Sara Kerens a few months ago to do a photographic study on the street tacos in Dallas. We liked the results...
Along with malbec, Grenache, and cabernet franc, tempranillo is viewed by oenophiles as one of the up-and-coming red grapes in today's wine scene. It is often called the "noble grape" of Spain, and is used as the base for that country's magnificent Rioja reds. Almost black in color, tempranillo ripens...

After the death of Lauren Huddleston in October, when a cyclist crashed into the jogger along the Katy Trail, and a car-and-cyclist collision two weeks later, council member Angela Hunt wrote that she'd met with city staff and Friends of the Katy Trial to "address trail safety for all users."...
[jump] If I'm Ron Washington I put Nelson Cruz back in right field, David Murphy in left and have Vladimir Guerrero be my first bat off the bench. It didn't really cost them in last night's blowout, but Guerrero misplayed four balls by my count, two resulting in 8th-inning errors. In...
We all know those fast food ad wizards have their tricks -- fake water droplets on the fresh red tomatoes, onions peeking just so out from under a perfectly thick sesame bun. Of course, nothing's going to look delicious oozing out of a greasy wrapper in a blurry cell phone...
Before his death in the early hours of New Year's Day, Frankie Campagna and his bandmates in Spector 45 had only gotten around to booking one single show for 2011 -- a gig to take place this Saturday night at La Grange. Obviously, tomorrow night's show won't feature the late,...
