This guy (Terry Jaymes) is going to end the Middle East conflict. He’s an FM radio morning jock. You figure it out. KDGE-FM (102.1) morning show hosts Lex & Terry have a plan to end the Middle East conflict. Sure. Right. Yesterday morning, they inadvertently announced (so they’re insisting now,…
We now take this brief T.O. from T.O. to talk about positive, harmonious, winning football: So what do two consecutive mythical national championships, a 63-1 record over four years and a 32-game winning streak get you? If you’re the Southlake Carroll High School football team, it gets you a slap…
Among The Richards Group’s clients was the Dallas Times Herald. Today, the ad agency reps The Dallas Morning News. Of course it does. The Dallas Video Festival, turning 19 this year, kicks off Tuesday night at the Angelika Film Center before moving to the familiar confines of the Dallas Theater…
In the last week, I’ve developed something I never thought my sweet little heart could harbor: hatred. But I’m not going around hatin’ all willy-nilly. No, this is hate brought on by three separate experiences with transit, or lack thereof, in this city. First, I do not fault the Dallas…
This didn’t sink Joe Lieberman’s campaign. Oh, no. Not at all. It was his Web site crashing. Yeah. That did it. You probably know this morning that Connecticut millionaire Ned Lamont squeaked by Senator Joe Lieberman in the Democratic primary yesterday; guess Joe’s makeout session with Dubya did not go…
Yesterday, Dallas-based ExxonMobil sent out this press release touting its Green Team, which consists of some 100 “low to moderate-income high school students [who] spend their summer vacations beautifying Dallas parks, building houses and taking classes taught by college instructors.” Noble stuff; worth celebrating; waytago, kids. The Green Team’s sponsored…
Admit it. You cannot get enough of Robert Tilton. God knows you couldn’t in 1991. After PrimeTime Live torpedoed the ministry of televangelist Robert Tilton in 1991, he filed a libel lawsuit against Capital Cities/ABC, PrimeTime Live, Diane Sawyer, producer Robbie Gordon and Trinity Foundation leader Ole Anthony. Tilton lost…
ABC trounced Robert Tilton in his lawsuit against the network. That was years ago. Doesn’t mean we can’t relive it. Paige Capossela, a spokeswoman for ABC News, sent us a lengthy response to Glenna Whitley’s August 3, 2006, cover story “The Cult of Ole”–an in-depth look at Ole Anthony and…
For the next God knows how long, Terrell Owens will be healing his hammy in a hyperbaric chamber. How weird, creepy and unsportsmanlike of him. Getcha popcorn ready. And, while you’re at it, keep the Pepto-Bismol handy. As the Dallas Cowboys are already starting to figure out, Terrell Owens comes…
The Los Angeles Times this morning has a story that’s actually old news to most Dallas Morning News subscribers: Dallas’ Only Daily is among two major newspapers in the country to include with its Sunday editions IMedia International Inc.-created CD-ROMs full of “movie previews, music samples, video games, comics, celebrity…
This comic book is among thousands of rare Golden Age titles Heritage is auctioning off starting Friday afternoon. At the end of June, we had a story here about the latest batch of comic books to be auctioned off by Heritage Auction Galleries: the Davis Crippen collection, which consists of…
Do you wanna have coffee with Mitch Albom? How about with his books? Yeah, not so much. Barnes & Noble Booksellers is a book store that sells Starbucks coffee. Starbucks is a coffee shop that, beginning next month, will sell books. Why not? It already sells CDs (including Starbucks-only product…
Heidi Klum takes a bite out of The Real Deal and realizes he tastes a little past the expiration date. I can’t remember the exact moment I became an Evander Holyfield fan. Maybe it was when a young Snoop Dogg claimed that he was “realer than real deal Holyfield.” Maybe…
If you wanna look this cool–and you know you do, because this is how cool people really look–slide into Dallas’ first Segway dealership when it opens across from SMU this weekend. You know, guys, I was just thinking. We haven’t had an exorbitant rise in gas prices in at least…
Edie Brickell–and the New Bohemians, as well as husband Paul Simon–will perform in Fair Park August 26 at a benefit for one of Brickell’s childhood friends. On October 28, 2005, Robert Meadows–who KXAS-Channel 5 referred to in January as a “42-year-old struggling actor”–was robbed and beaten by three people in…
Admit it, when you first saw this magazine cover you wondered to yourself, “Does T.D. Jakes get enough sausage?” Apparently, the answer is no. Bishop T.D. Jakes went home–to Charleston, West Virginia–this weekend to be feted during a multi-culti throwdown called, appropriately, Multifest. Thousands turned out to cheer the man…
This could be something. Or nothing. Or something really interesting. Went to Dallas Cowboys training camp in Oxnard, California, last week. Saw owner Jerry Jones the first couple days. Interviewed him at length the third day. Saw him a couple other days. Then I came home and flipped on Saturday’s…
We’ve mentioned a few times that Dallas-based Affiliated Computer Services, Inc., is having some issues–if you consider being investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and receiving a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York issues. Well, on Wednesday ACS will have is…
Benny Barnes was no Dallas Cowboys spare. He played 11 years with the team–from 1972 through the 1982 season, for a total of 139 games–as a defensive back, and he was the subject of a controversial call involving a Terry Bradshaw pass to Lynn Swann in Super Bowl XIII in…
At the beginning of the year, The National Journal’s blog, The Hotline, asked the question: “Ever Heard of the Legacy?” It sounded like a terribly general query, but it was a very specific reference to a gathering that took place in Washington, D.C., in late January, during which “140 of…
If so, former Dallasites the Secret Machines perform at Chicago’s Lollapalooza around 5:30 p.m. CST today, and you’re just a few clicks away from watching their performance for free with the help of your office’s high-speed Internet connection. Hope you’re using Windows–Macs won’t be able to access the protected Windows…
Over at the self-proclaimed “libertarian-leaning” blog Hammer of Truth–which, again, was my nickname in kindergarten–local contributor Michelle Shinghal complains that Aaron Russo’s documentary America: Freedom to Fascism has been “pulled from Dallas Angelika.” No doubt, The Man didn’t want you to see what this self-proclaimed “startling examination [that] exposes the…
