Leading Off (2/24/10)

1. In October, Mesquite ISD board member Randy Dobbs resigned after “material that was unacceptable” was found on his district-issued laptop. Now we know what the material was: Dobbs was still using an AOL e-mail address. (Kidding. It was porn.)

2. Mabrie Jackson is spicing up the GOP race to represent West Plano in the Texas House. She has accused opponent Wayne Richard of “cheating on his business taxes” and hosting a “voyeurism video” on his website. Richard responded: “Is it really voyeurism if you’re pretty sure they’d say yes if you asked if you could watch?” (Kidding. He called her allegations “malicious and hateful.”)

3. Congrats to golf analyst and sometime D Magazine contributor David Feherty, who became a U.S. citizen yesterday. We’re happy to have you, David. (Kidding. You’ll always be an Irish bastard in our eyes. (Kidding again. Welcome.))
