D Magazine lays off 12% of workforce
While we're at it might as well add Paper City and Lux to the line up!
Can't get enough of the Who's Who and party scene!!!

@BootDuck: obviously you are not the target audience for this magazine.
If you can't relate then I don't get why you care enough even to comment.
I'd like to see you op on something you do like... and you'd probably enjoy yourself so much the better.

Ok, guys, I have to step in.
I happen to know some of those folks on staff and contributing writers of D/ FrontBurner and in all fairness, and I agree with some of the criticism, the bashing here on Pegs needs to clam down.
D has legitimately covered its subject and met the needs of its target audience since its inception. (Basically: The Hollow, ParkCities and Uptown plus the Outside Curious)
Trying to read more into the rag than has ever been there is a mistake and shouldn't diminish the talent of the writers and staff.
In fact, not long ago I was having a discussion with several of the people mentioned above at Al Biernat's bar and they know that I blog on PN.
They questioned me all about PN and wanted me to compare and contrast both sites. They asked me which site I felt was more popular and how the audience on PN compared. I obliged.
Obviously, and since I post on both sites, I like both FrontBurner and Pegasus News equally. It's like having a husband and lover: both give me something different and I can express more of myself with each.
I have had a real chuckle poking fun at certain people I know over at The Burn- as I call it. Although I have been deleted plenty of times on FB, they are much less tolerant of shenanigans, I still know they like the rest of my commentaries.
Now you can say what you like about Wick A., but I hurt for the people now facing unemployment.
I can only hope we ALL survive this mess.

I went to a job fare yesterday which drove home just how bad things are. The lines were long to get in when I arrived and stayed that way when I left.
Although the few companies that represented at yesterdays event were totally usless for my sitation, I was able to get face time with HR from SMU and she was extremely helpful to me. Now tweaking the resume.
I was laid off at the holidays and have taken the approach to be as productive and proactive as possible during my "sabbatical."
It's going to be an extreme challenge to keep and protect what I have.

Swingers? What does that have to do with girls showing t*ts?
The vast majority of girl-on-girl you see is all fake. These girls are just doing it to turn the guys on. (Because the #1 fantasy for American males is a threesome w/ two women.)
Women lie. Sorry.

As to the reviews: there is absolutely no reason to be as wordy as....per example, DC.
I think reviews should be short and sweet. I give specific dishes that catch my attention, mention service as warranted, atmosphere and whether a place is mediocre or not worth the time.
Get to the point.

I get a little chuckle thinking of ScooDoo riding the short bus...... from the Arts District to Victory.
I'm sure he'll feel at home. In fact, he'll prolly confuse the shuttle with a ride at Six Flags and just stay on there all night...going 'round and 'round and'round.

I think I only had 36 reviews since the contest started.
It's so sad to realize just how much eating out I've done and the direct correlation with the size of my a@@.
I hope I get something out of this besides a fat a@@.
Oh wait, is this tickets for MORE eating and drinking..... damn.

Dallas NAACP calling for protest of KDFW-TV, Fox Corporation over monkey cartoon
Actually, the assumption or inference that the monkey in the cartoon represented Obama is a leap.
When I saw the cartoon I ASSumed the intent was that the stimulus bill was so bad a monkey could have written it.
Plus.... I think the author may have been playing of the recent story of the out of control chimp that was shot by police. Which is a much better representation of the situation.

Well.... for the past week on The Burn (FrontBurner) there have been three or four posts begun with the headline "Change on Friday."
Lots of speculation was bandied about as to what this cryptic message meant.
Sounds as if there was a preemptive strike today rather than waiting for Friday.
I will miss Timmy and Eric.

NAACP: proof positive that one cannot "over come" until one learns to over come.
Playing the Race Card no longer works. The election of Obama killed the game. Sorry.
This cartoon is no differnt than any other political cartoon ever published. End of story.
