If a tree falls in the forest

And Republicans don't show up, does that mean it's not happening?While we're not picking sides on this, but shouldn't those voted in to protect citizens show up to be educated?  Even if you don't believe, wouldn't it be a good time to ask questions?A...

Do the math

Recently Durango told you how Bud Kennedy mentioned (on his Facebook, not in the "news" paper) that the citizens of Fort Worth got screwed by Cabela's.  That same paper posted some pretty telling info about Cabela's but never said, we're sorry for...

WHAT did he say?

Apparently Arlington has decided the citizens don't need to see what other citizens have to say.WHY would Arlington's Mayor Cluck not want the citizens to see a portion of the council meeting?OpinionArlington.com thinks it may be because of the idiotic racist comment that very same mayor made during a council meeting last year.  WHAT do Arlington...

What a Newspaper Should Be

A letter to the Fort Worth Weekly about Betty Brink’s passing, ends up telling you what a newspaper should be.Kudos to the Weekly for being a real “news” paper.  The residents of Tarrant County salute you.  You too, Mrs.Brink.....To the editor:...

Governor Perry, Please stop talking…

Again, the comments are more telling than the article in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Those who responded talk about our air, lack of water resources, lack of health care, education, high property taxes and no protection from corporate greed.  Though...

“Perfect Storm”

Recently we mentioned we have been receiving tons of email on the subject of water, or lack thereof.The emails keep pouring in. MSN.com recently posted an article on Tribes in the Southwest that are without water due to the cold snap and the aging infrastructure...

WHERE do we start?

With the Fort Worth Way, where else?The Fort Worth Star-Telegram article is very telling.  Though it’s like telling the same story over and over again. A council member who was the only paid member of the nonprofit in 2010.  A board member...

WHAT is up in Watauga?

The suspended city manager has now resigned.  The mayor has resigned (had you not read the article in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, earlier this week, closely, you might have missed the one sentence noting this).  WHY would that not make for...

Q & A

LOL

We couldn't help it, a letter to the editor in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram made us laugh....I teach seven periods of geometry every day to over 190 high school students. Several of my students come from terrible home situations. Many have never been...

What's the catch?

Poof!  The entire T board gone.Remember when the Ethics committee made a decision the Fort Worth mayor didn't agree with?  They were all axed.A different board and a different mayor, but the same old story.  It's the Fort Worth Way. ...

Wonder WHY?

The comment on this Fort Worth Star-Telegram article is better than the article concerning Haltom City schools and guns... Wonder Woman makes some great points. Wonder if she'll get an answer? Wonder WHO she is... I wonder.....Why the Star-Telegram continues...
