The Dallas Morning News has started a blog just for its columnists. They’re calling it “Bold Types,” which is a very cool name. That makes the Morning News columnists sound like movie stars. I feel like a damn schlub. All I ever get to do is contribute to this blog, with a crappy little byline at the bottom of my items. And then look what they let them write! Nobody’s beating them over the head to come up with a bunch of damn information. Look what Sherry Jacobson had in there yesterday:
“Frankly, I’m worried that the whole immigration debate will have an unsettling affect on a city that has welcomed illegal immigrants almost without question for the past two decades.Wish I could speak Spanish better so that I could tune into whatever happens next!”
I want my own blog, damn it. I want to call it “Cool Handsome Type Not Really that Old.” Here’s my first item:
“Frankly, I’m worried about the effect that global warming could have on a city that was already pretty darned hot to begin with. Wish I knew where to read up on it or somebody I could call, so I’d know whether or not to keep worrying.”
When news happens, Dallas Observer is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If the Dallas Observer matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
And there’s a lot more where that item came from. When can I expect to start? And what does this pay, anyway? –Jim Schutze
