Dear Mexican: In Garfield strips in the funny pages that appeared earlier this year, Garfield is wearing a sombrero and taking siestas. While cute and all, isn't that the sort of thing that we have been striving to stop? What was Jim Davis thinking? Maybe he needs a refresher course...
Phillip David Wainscott, who's been licensed to practice law in Texas since 1995, says Dallas County is interfering with his ability to make a living -- and by Dallas County, he really means Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price in his position as a member of the county's Bail Bond...
I just noticed this on the city of Dallas's Web site: "A Message from the City Manager to Residents & Business Owners." It's Mary Suhm's way of explaining why come the city's hiked water, wastewater and stormwater rates, which took effect last week per the FY2009-2010 budget. It's also intended...

Like the ominous fingernail moon early on in Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant, the bloodsucker trend is again in a waxing phase thanks to the mass cult followings of the Twilight saga and HBO's True Blood. However, the only authentic vampires in this first (and, I can all but...
The Secret Machines have been through a lot in the past two years. Although their first two albums received favorable reviews, disappointing sales cost them their major-label backing.
