Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
A programming note: As the writer's strike is keeping your favorite talk shows off the air till who knows when, there's always ... oh ... I dunno ... Charlie Rose? Might as well, if you're up at midnight tonight, if only because U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson's one of Rose's guests tonight. (The other one's some former British ambassador to the United Nations -- getting sleepy already.) Dunno what Hutchinson's scheduled to talk about -- toll roads, maybe? Doubtful.
Wonder if Kay Bailey and Charlie knew each other back when he was at KXAS-Channel 5 in the late 1970s and early '80s? Ah, I don't think that's what's on the chitchat agenda for tonight. I wonder if he'll interrupt her a lot. --Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
