Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Moments ago, the Houston Chronicle reported that John Edwards has decided to, like, pass on delivering his speech to the Harris County Democratic Party during its September 20 fund-raising gala. Cannot imagine why. Also noted in the story: Harris County Republican Chairman Jared Woodfill's demand that Democrats "renounce campaign contributions from Dallas lawyer Fred Baron." Cannot imagine why. Woodfill also used phrases like "tainted" and "hush money." At which point Woodfill's Democratic Party counterpart down in Harris County said, real fast, "Tom DeLay and Kenneth Lay." They're meeting in the parking lot after school to settle it like men. --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.
