| | | Not All DISD Reformers Are Elitist, Public Ed-hating Zombies JIM SCHUTZE  In the smoke, din, blinding flashes, screams, roars, flying body parts, weird music and scarily bad odors blasting out from Mayor Mike Rawlings' enormously maladroit public school takeover campaign, there has been a silver lining. It is a very thin silver lining, kind of like a kitten that survives an earthquake. But it's silver. And it's a lining.

If only he'd added '70s conspiracy thrillers to his list. First, so he could tell his boss' boss, Alexander Pierce (Robert Redford), "... more >> | | | | | | | | Tuck Dynasty: Uptown Players Tiara It Up with Pageant: The Musical BY ELAINE LINER  For my money, Miss Great Plains was robbed. At each performance of Pageant: The Musical, on now at Uptown Players at the Kalita Humphreys Theater, the same six contestants vie to be named Miss Glamouresse. The winner is picked by a panel of judges selected from the audience. Opening night judges included the real Miss Texas 2013, Ivana Hall, sporting a sparkly tiara and shiny gold cowboy boots.
