I live in Fort Worth, Texas, and I don't have any use for Dallas, California.

"I live in Fort Worth, Texas, and I don't have any use for Dallas, California."

Them's fight'n words! Don't make me remind you of Jim Wright.

You mean Dallas, NY — like the Big Apple, a city overrun by Yankees, feuding ethnic tribes, corrupt politicians, third worlders, and the Alternative Lifestyle gang. (The straight people and the middle class have decamped for the lily-white environs of Collin County, land of Giant Freeway Churches.)

As with New York, it's far past the time when a "strong mayor" could do any good In Dallas — nothing less than a military dictator with the power to summarily execute the Enemies of the People could put things right again. But of course we can't have that, so it's more chaos all around, folks, just like in NYC.

(Houston is L.A.— all freeways and smog. And Austin is San Francisco.)

I'm East Dallas born and raised, and I'll always have a nostalgic love for the old town, but the Dallas I knew and loved is gone, long gone. (Being from east Dallas in the '60s and '70s is like being from Brooklyn in the '40s and '50s — one never forgets.) I live in Tarrant County now. At least it's still Texas here.

I voted against the JerryDome, by the way. I may have to move again now that the Cowboys are coming to town. The idea of living in Irving South does not appeal to me.
