Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Courtesy The Smoking Gun comes the tale of the Cocaine Jesus. (Finally, a name for our new band!) And, yes, you can see where this is going: "Federal agents last week arrested a Mexican national for allegedly paying a woman to smuggle into the U.S. a statue that was made of a dried cocaine paste." And where was this statuary headed? It "was supposed to be delivered to The Spider in Dallas." Which is odd, because that's Jim Schutze's nickname around Unfair Park HQ. --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.
