This week's Dallas Observer makes a clear call on why I am receiving so many calls from BLACK elected officials pitching a plan that will make three WHITE men rich. It may be 2007, but they will still dance to a tune played by somebody else.

But that is okay. God is watching. Those old men will die someday. And they will have to pay the tab on their souls. Did they help a city, or just get rich off of it?

[Ed Note: Yes, it always amazes me that Ft. Worth seems to have gotten stuck with the philanthropists, and Dallas ended up with the pocket-liners. Perhaps that's not 100% true, but it sure seems that way sometimes. We need more people giving instead of taking away.]
