• Not Breaking News: Bushes Still Moving to Dallas After White House

  So confusing. Didn't we already know George and Laura Bush were moving to Dallas once he the president left the White House in January? Haven't they said this a thousand times -- most recently, like, Sunday? Well, apparently we need further confirmation, which came today at the White House as the First Lady was introducing "A Red, White and Blue Christmas," which seems awful original. Said Laura: "We will be moving to Dallas in January, and there might be a new house coming along. So I think tha

• From the Bushes' New Bushes Near Preston Hollow, a History Lesson

  Two over-the-weekend follows to last week's news concerning George and Laura Bush's impending move to 10141 Daria Place. One comes from former Observer-er Ann Zimmerman, who gave Wall Street Journal readers a peek at the soon-to-be-ex-president's neighborhood, where not all the neighbors are happy about Bush's new address. Says one, "I am afraid with all the negative press the president has been getting, the whole neighborhood is going to be a target."Too late, as on Friday night, KTVT-Channel 1

• Bush's "After-Life" in Dallas

  Guess we'd best get used to it -- probably gonna need to come up with a "The Bush is Back" category or somesuch. Till then, though, this sneak peek at the soon-to-be-ex-president's plans for his return to Dallas at the end of the month:President George W. Bush's "after-life," as Laura Bush calls the post-presidency, is shaping up to be pretty comfortable, with a Dallas office, staffers, Secret Service protection, a travel budget, medical coverage and a $196,700 annual pension, all at taxpayers'

• Bush Ain't Coming Straight to Dallas. There's Some Kinda Party in Midland.

  During this morning's White House press briefing, press secretary Dana Perino laid out George Bush's plans for January 20, which don't involve heading directly to Dallas:President Bush will depart from Andrews Air Force Base and head to Midland, Texas, where he will participate in a welcome home event in Centennial Plaza, which is the town square. And you'll recall that Midland is where the send-off event for President-Elect and Mrs. Bush took place in January of 2001. Following the event, th

  Well, actually, that'd be San Francisco-based Mother Jones writer Josh Harkinson, a Preston Hollow native (his parents still live here) who today posted an essay about what it's like to grow up in the neighborhood populated by the likes of Ross Perot, Tom Hicks, AT&T CEO Rayford Wilkins Jr. and, once again, George and Laura Bush. Fun for reading, especially for the "tidbit of unsubstantiated cop gossip" toward the end of the story concerning Bush's next (wha?) Dallas residence, "a walled est

  Dallas Independent School DistrictI know, I'm asking for it. But Dallas Independent School District spokesman Jon Dahlander just sent over a few photos of George and Laura Bush making "a surprise visit this morning to their neighborhood school, Dallas ISD's John J. Pershing Elementary," where he hung out for more than an hour as he meeted-and-greeted with the kiddos and teachers. Says Pershing principal Margarita Hernandez, "President Bush made several students pledge and commit themselves to re

  You'd think with A.H. Belo's ongoing fiscal woes that Robert Decherd hisself would make every effort to get The Dallas Morning News to folks who actually want home delivery. Alas, not so much, says Laura Bush in an interview set to air this evening on ABC's World News with Charles Gibson:"The only thing we don't have are the newspapers. It has been slow to get The Dallas Morning News delivered," she said. "People bring the newspaper to us later in the day. It's just not being delivered yet."

Writes Stoddard:This is a "good news" green story that shines a spotlight on many different issues: the environmental costs of poverty (no illegal landfills in affluent white suburbs); the range of sources for the greenhouse gases linked to global warming (people think of cars and power plants, not garbage sites); and our abilit

• For At-Risk Teens, Creative Solutions Offers A Second Chance Through Performing Arts

  The kids are not allowed to wear red or blue when they show up to the SMU campus to participate in a summer camp -- those are gang colors. And they're not allowed to smoke during breaks or anywhere on the premises. The environment should allow even the most hardened among them to feel like kids again. Fifteen years ago, Lisa Schmidt founded Creative Solutions, which teaches at-risk teens on probation to be productive by channeling their emotions creatively. This visual and performance art ca

• If Nothing Else, You Can Always Go to Booker T. to Watch Obama's Speech With Ron Kirk

  ​A few minutes ago, I spoke to Dallas Independent School District spokesman Jon Dahlander concerning his voice-mail message this morning. I wondered if today's decision, to let teachers and principals decide whether their classes could watch President Obama's speech to students on Tuesday, was a change from any kind of previous policy in place regarding the talk. As it turns out, Dahlander says, the speech "wasn't even on the radar till yesterday," when district officials began hearing that so
