The Austin Film Festival provides a neat opportunity for aspiring film makers and cinema aficionados to learn about the process, but there’s one major problem: the ticket prices.
Watching Republican presidential candidates wax indignant over the federal government’s inability to enforce its own immigration laws makes one wonder. Which, if any, fundamental principles does the party faithful base its timid support for free markets and private property rights?

In my case, being from Houston, I root for the Texans, Rockets and the Astros. While not one of these teams is the top moneymaker in the sports markets like the Dallas teams (yes, I’m including the Rangers in this conversation), being a fan of Houston sports brings me a lot of great memories, good and bad.
Last spring, with friends graduating, career fairs buzzing, summer camps interviewing for counselors and friendly Baylor emails flashing hints that eventually I would have to face [gasp] “the future,” I started getting the heebie-jeebies.
The NFL had a number of close games this weekend, but one game in particular had some more drama than others.
When I went home for fall break, the first thing my dad said to me was, “Jack Black is in a PG movie.” At first I laughed, thinking he meant “Kung Fu Panda,” but then my younger sister chimed in with, “You mean the one with Steve Martin.”

I’m not going to make a joke about pizza here because I’m really, really tired of everyone else making the same stupid jokes. So I’m just going to say what needs to be said.

“Kids dancing in crazy outfits to music that editorial page editors don’t understand aren’t automatically evil.”
Few places on Earth are quite like this one. You walk into a lively atmosphere and are greeted with smiles from all around. You will notice the cleanliness and high-quality maintenance that has been performed. And oh, that smell. The sweet smell of deliciousness roaming through the air that lovingly finds its way into your nostrils as you contemplate which heavenly goodness off the menu your body shall consume this time.
