GOLIATH.

Today we received a gigantic, glossy-slick pro-bond flyer that refers curious voters to an incomplete info website.

As of this afternoon, the "info" site is marked with a "placeholder" -- no information at all.

Oh, and the page is registered to our friends in downtown Dallas:

Does it make me more conspiratorial to derive amusement from the fact a Dallas architect, a Lancaster realtor, and a regional garbage hauler choose to register their local domain with an AUSTRALIAN web host?
