On February 5, 2009 4:08 PM in Putting A Leash On Auditorium Shores, they said:

I run that area 4 times a week and have never had trouble with the dogs. I agree that the poop scoop law should be more heavily enforced but a leash law is unnecessary for that area. I have more t...

On December 4, 2008 3:59 PM in Yes, Dubya's Moving Back to Texas [At Least It's Not Austin], they said:

Preston Hollow is an area of Dallas, not a town near Dallas. Kind of like Tarrytown. Or Cow Hollow or Brentwood for all you transplants....

On December 2, 2008 11:44 AM in More Toll Roads Coming to Austin, they said:

I am in favor of tollroads when they are based on supply and demand. Using a profitable tollroad in another part of the city as collateral for another tollroad in an undeveloped area is just another...

I know you're going for snark and I'm sure these are funny if you click on the link and read the article. However, they provide no insight into the article and most people are too busy to click just ...

On November 17, 2008 2:10 PM in Plan to Prolong Paid Parking Periods Produces Protests, they said:

On October 28, 2008 2:23 PM in New Release Tuesday: Arthur Russell & Ryan Adams, they said:

One request/suggestion: I like NRT but it sure would be nice if you separated the actual "new releases" from the reissues and vinyl issues. Now it looks like there's a new trend: "vinyl reissues". ...

On April 2, 2008 4:19 PM in Austin Almost Ready For Congestion Pricing, they said:
