Ann Coulter - Whew! I'm certainly glad to hear the "snippets" from Rev. Jeremiah Wright's sermons "in context."

Dallas Fire-Rescue calls for more help with EMS Vision plan
Firefighters and paramedics throughout Dallas say they are spread too thin by 911 calls and are in absolute desperate need of relief.

Officials said the vision plan will call for more resources, although they declined to give specifics.
