    "Hints from Heloise" anyone?

    Richardson cemetery plastered with campaign signs

    Most likely, someone out to embarrass the candidates planted the signs. Perhaps even were responsible for the phones "ringing since sunrise" at the home of the one person who could be counted on the publicize the prank as if the candidates were responsible. If that bit of speculation is at all accurate, then with this Pegasus News story, their mission was accomplished. That makes more sense than the speculation in this story.

    Editorial: Sexually Oriented Businesses in Richardson

    tallscot, the council did not "lie down and quit." As the editorial states, the council passed an "ordinance that restricted this type of adult business as much as was legally practicable under current state and federal laws and judicial rulings." The council served the residents of Richardson well. The 2007 ordinance is working. Sexually oriented businesses are not the issue for Richardson today that they were in 2007. The Richardson Coalition's own editorial does a disservice to the residents of Richardson by obscuring that point.

    Pegasus News content partner interview: The Richardson Echo

    Andrew Laska: "There is no real source of news in Richardson. Richardson's daily newspaper went through the usual cycle of local newspapers. They were bought up by a larger company which then paid less interest and now we are lucky if we get a targeted article or two a week."

    Too true. Kudos to the people behind Richardson Echo and Pegasus News for trying to change that fact.

    Good interview, by the way.

    UPDATED: Garland Boy Scouts feel duped get paid by Bass Pro Shops

    Good for Bass Pro Shops.

    And a lesson for those parents: If you're expecting someone to pay you $1600, you might think about getting something in writing first. Be prepared and all that.

    A male Labrador mix is missing in East Dallas

    Question for editors: How do I set up my RSS feed to filter out these "lost dog" stories?

    "End the Fed" protesters assemble in downtown Dallas

    The anti-Fed crowd can protest to their hearts' content, but so what if the so-called mainstream media doesn't cover it. Pegasus News covered it. That's more than an attention-seeking radio talk show host deserves.

    Election analysis: Texas House District 102

    The League of Women Voters' forums accept questions from the audience, which are screened by a moderator to ensure a breadth of issues are discussed. Because Goolsby refused to participate, we don't know exactly which questions would have been asked.

    Election analysis: Texas House District 102

    Goolsby doesn't want voters to compare him with Carol Kent side by side. He ducked an invitation to a forum hosted by the League of Women Voters.

    Election analysis: Texas House District 112

    Chen Button's support for school vouchers is not so stealthy. In the recent League of Women Voters forum, she explicitly said she was in favor. She also said the state had no money for teachers or public schools, or for children's health insurance (CHIP). But she apparently thinks there's money for religious and private school vouchers. She also came out in favor of jailing illegal immigrants, so she probably thinks there's money to build more jails, too.

    Who wanted to keep former Richardson mayor Gary Slagel in office?

    There has not been a satisfactory explanation given why the council chose not to give another term to Mayor Slagel. Nathan Morgan suggests there was a "public outcry for leadership change" but Slagel's unopposed re-election to his council seat suggests something else was at work. Residents of Richardson deserve at least a public discussion on the subject from the council members who do the choosing.

    Great photo! There's a Pulitzer waiting for the news photographer, I'm sure.

    Evolution advocate to speak at SMU

    KERA 13 aired a Nova episode tonight dramatizing Prof. Miller's testimony in the Dover case. The show is naturally one-sided in favor of science, but it includes some shocking dishonesty on the part of creationists. You can watch the show anytime on PBS's Web site at PBS.org. Two big (panda) thumbs-up!

    Why Southlake Carroll will not win the 2007 state title

    Speaking of rushing out to retrieve the Saturday morning newspaper to get football scores, is there a Web site that attempts to provide real time scores of high school football games around the Dallas area on Friday nights? Preferably in a format that's friendly to a mobile Web browser.

    Forget the Green Line: DART needs to invest in more parking

    The Arapaho Rd lot filled up, too, until they extended the line to Parker Rd. Now there's plenty of parking at Arapaho station. The effort should go into extending DART even farther north, not adding more parking to the current northern terminals.

    Grits for Breakfast ranks best and worst local legislators on justice policies

    Fred Hill deserves an honorable mention for resisting the ill-conceived property tax schemes concocted by Rick Perry and Tom Pauken.

    Video projector design lands SMU student a $50,000 scholarship

    Tarted up projector, not web cam. And yes, that's exactly what it is. There's big money to be made in video game projectors. That's why the sponsors are ponying up $50,000 for the free publicity in widely read media outlets like Pegasus. Well, from media outlets.

    Dallas Morning News drops support of death penalty

    The RSS feed for this story ( http://www.pegasusnews.com/rss/headli... ) contains this insensitive description: "Next, they'll be recommending we all wear flowers in our hair."
