Kemper, Chair of SMU’s Department of Anthropology, The Christian Post just called you a wussy for refusing to debate the “intelligent design” braintrust this weekend at the “Darwin vs. Design” “conference” at McFarlin Auditorium…
Hey, we didn’t say it. The 73-year-old mayoral candidate does in his new TV spot that debuted yesterday. And since we’re giving mayoral campaign ads plenty o’ play here at Unfair Park, we figured we’d slap it up here, in the interest of equal time. God knows it’s far better…
Oliver Peck’s gonna have his own line of Vans this summer. Us, we’re lucky just to have shoes. I took a little trip down Amnesia Lane recently when a friend informed me I was in a video on YouTube. The year was 2001. The day, Friday the 13th. Me? I…

The virtual Girl on Top takes a virtual gander at the virtual UTD art show inside SecondLife. That’s virtually awesome. I’m either really, really on top of things, or really, really behind. I never can tell. I’m just a reporter, though. It’s not like concerning myself with such things is…
Why do I (and the rest of the city, sooner or later) ask? Well, have you seen his new TV spot? No? Then, by all means, take a look, and then ask yourself, “What the eff does a tank cruising down a street in Iraq have to do with the…

On her official American Idol Web page, Season Two semi-finalist and Royce City native Olivia Mojica lists as some of her past accomplishments that she performed at “2000 Presidential Inauguration Gala, Myerson Symphony Hall, National Anthem for Dallas…
How much do you think a Quincy Carter rookie card’s worth, anyway? “Thanks for calling Mud Bugs hockey. How may I direct your call?” Uh-oh. It’s nearly always ominous when your first attempt to find a former Dallas Cowboys quarterback leads you to a minor-league hockey team based in Shreveport…

Marty Turco, a nation turns its sleepy eyes to you and says, “Dude, not again.” So tired. So very, very tired. And so are you if, like me, you stayed up until 2:32 a.m. to watch the Dallas Stars lose an epic, quadruple-overtime playoff hockey game to the Vancouver Canucks…
Brian Dennehy keeps on lyin’ about having been in Vietnam. But he’s still great in Silverado. Not lying about that.

We always thought this was Jen Nikoloff. Apparently, when she’s naked, her name is Taylor Reid. Memo to Girl on Top: Like, Andrea, how did you miss this? I see on The Dallas Morning News’ Web site that on Tuesday, an SMU student featured in the latest issue of Playboy…

SHREVEPORT, Louisiana—Signs your grand plans have gone slightly askew: You toke your way out of a job as quarterback of America’s Team, shepherded from Dallas Cowboys training camp by the notorious Bishop Terry Hornbuckle.

Wheels turning: Buzz has never really grasped the story of Job, the pious man ineffably effed by God on a dare from Satan. Job suffers everything but a Novocain-less root canal but still praises God. What a sucker. So, obviously, we’ve never understood why men like James Curtis Giles, the…
Cheaper Cuts Meatpacking racket: Legal resident workers who are displaced by illegal alien workers (“Ground Meat,” by Megan Feldman, April 5) can bring charges against their employer through the RICO Act (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization) for conspiring to lower wages.

In days of yore, P.E. class meant pegging the stinky, skinny kid during dodge ball and gagging if you had to stand next to him at the free-throw line for basketball practice. Today, P.E. class at Wilshire Elementary in Euless means taking the arm of the stinky, skinny kid and…
