Felony Lane Gang Suspected in Purse Snatching Spree in McKinney: A Florida-based gang has hit a number of daycare parking lots in Collin, Dallas, and Tarrant Counties, stealing purses from moms’ cars and using the identification to cash checks at nearby banks. The “gang” has been active throughout the nation.

Khloe Kontact Made: We’ll all get tired of this Kardashian krap soon enough, but not just yet. The latest? The double K touched down in Dallas over the weekend where she looked for an apartment (for just one year, that’s how long she thinks she and her man, Lamar Odom, will stay) and tweeted “Wow Dallas you guys are so freaking nice to me!” and “OMG how amazing is this sign!!! What a warm welcome from Dallas!!!!” (Oh, and the Thunder beat the Mavs in preseason.)

Human Bowling At Cowboys Stadium: This video is much easier to watch when you know that no one was seriously injured when the runaway cart plowed through a group of people standing on the field at Cowboys Stadium Sunday after the 5A Division II championship.

National Review Profiles Rick Perry

I read it. Twice (just like I read “Fed Up” twice). The takeaway? Rick Perry named his boots (Freedom and Liberty). That I get – I named my flip flops Tequila and Cherry Limeade. Other takeaway? The word crotchety is still so funny.

Dallas Readies For Redistricting

From City Hall comes word that it’s Redistricting Commission time again. Has it been 10 years since the last decennial figures were released? Time flies, friends. Time flies.

Make-Up Post: Dallas is Awesome

Zac Crain — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 15:28:13 +0000

I’m tired of typing this in the comments so here we go: I love Dallas. I love almost everything about it. Do I wish restaurants stayed open later, because I’m a bit more of a night owl than some? Sure, but that’s quibbling.

Anyway, I could use a big dose of positivity this morning. So, in the comments, name what you love about Dallas.
