The second-worst thing about a movie of the television series “Dallas” (the worst thing being that they’re making one to begin with) is that it will not actually be filmed in Dallas.
So, to convince the producers of “Dallas” to do it in Dallas:

John Hawkins has lists of favorite blog of different Congressmen. Notice which blog is missing from all the lists?

Later today!
The finishing touches are being added as I type by the lovely and talented SarahK (I can’t believe Glenn called his wife “lovely and talented”; he stole that from me! Which reminds me: if you missed the official Bush Administration response to my Frank Advice on Port Security, then you missed a lot. Check it out.)
Be honorable, ronin.

Congratulations to Phin and Mrs. Phin on their new baby!
