For those who are offended by the use of Adolf Hitler to illustrate the issues with John Wiley Price, I agree with you. However, there are very few good movie clips depicting Atilla the Hun or Genghis Khan, which I believe are a better model for John Wiley Price than Hitler.
BD woke up early this morning to find dozens of emails about Mayor Tom Leppert's decision to not run for re-election this May. Tell us, oh wise oracle, what are your predictions??? they asked.
While BD never claimed to be a great prognosticator of political moves (it's kinda hard to read an Oujia board with paws), here are his predictions for local Dallas politics. Don't say I did not warn you.
Lowest Greenville's resident curmudgeon and neighborhood activist will formally announce that he is a candidate for the Dallas City Council.
The announcement will be made outside the Dallas SPCA center on Industrial / Riverfront Boulevard this afternoon.
Sources in his nascent campaign have reported he will legally change his name to "Barking Dog" in order to take advantage of his popularity and media attention when people go into the polling booth.
BD's campaign slogan will be "We need a BARKING DOG on Dallas City Council. He'll bite for us."
Here is a sample of the first bumper sticker -

At least, that’s what Crow Holdings’ executive Anne Raymond told approximately 50 people this morning while announcing a petition drive by the political action committee Citizens Against a Taxpayer Owned Hotel.
