Quote of the Week
We had several we wanted to post, but they mysteriously disappeared from Facebook Monday night. Maybe it had to do with a Fort Worth Star-Telegram editorial which talked about social media."But now, all manner of inappropriate commentary is preserved on the Internet and shared before its authors...

All fired up!
Between the emails we received and the comments left online, seems folks in Fort Worth get it. Their "leaders", well, that's another story. WHY would we spend $6.5 million on bridges over dry land while we can't even pay our Fire Department without sticking our hand up for a federal grant? What's...
If it's good for the goose...
While fracking and other drilling techniques have opened up large reserves of oil and natural gas in Texas, they’ve also caused literal headaches, traffic jams and fatal accidents, and strains on water supplies. As a result, some Texas communities are pushing back: Dallas has passed strict limits on...

Fort Worth is flush...NOT
The city is throwing around money like they have it. Last week it was Wal-mart and a developer, now it's the TRV. Total for these 3 alone - approximately $49 million.Isn't it nice to know YOUR tax dollars aren't being wasted...And remember when they say the TRWD "acquired" the land, that...

Got Water?
An article in the FWST confirms what folks have been saying for years. Water is drying up as fast as the money. So how will Fort Worth sustain all these news (tax abated) businesses and residents with no water and no functioning free(toll)ways? Someone may want to flip the switch and turn...

They did it again...
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram has started their always hilarious political endorsements. Right out of the gate, they made us laugh. And they helped us make some choices on WHO we wouldn't be voting for. That's how most people use the FWST endorsements, if the paper (and city hall) is...
No, thank you.
We recently told you Fort Worth was spending another $12 million dollars for another Wal-mart. Last night on WFAA we learned this new Wal-mart site is a mere 3 miles from another one. And that there are a handful of Wal-mart's in a 7 mile radius from the new site. WFAA took a poll to see if that's...

FW Star-Telegram doesn't hold water...
WHY would a local "news" paper "reporting" on a local lawsuit leave out the fact that a very similar lawsuit has already been ruled on? Especially when the Judge in the Federal suit cited such?If you want to read the watered down propaganda piece on the TRWD lawsuits, you can at the Fort Worth...

Tweet!
Speaking of birds and poop (see previous post)...We've been tweeting up a storm, seems Bill Maher has offered to help some lucky town #flipadistrict. They will pick a "lemon" congressperson and make visits to the district and report on them. Ongoing. On National TV. We have R's and...
Fort Worth "River Turkeys"
The Fort Worth Weekly has the "scoop" on the dirty birds we mentioned back when the Woodshed opened. An employee advises how to get a free meal. Though they didn't mention who cleans the pooh off the furniture. As appetizing as all that is, we'll grab dinner elsewhere.Turns out cattle...
