Leading Off (Suck-up to Wick Version)

1. Gov. Rick Perry announced he would most likely seek another term in 2010, which gives us the possibility of a 14-year Perry reign. (Cue Wick’s political pants sproinging off him and flying against the wall in cartoonish anger.) Of course, Perry could always be Rick rolling us.

2. Steve Brown says even the Park Cities are suffering from the housing downturn. (Cue pants-less Wick shaking his fist in a defiant, disbelieving manner at the large cardboard cut-out of Steve Brown he keeps in his office.)

3. Firefighters saved the small, white, fluffy life of a dog they revived 15 minutes after rescuing the limp animal from a Southeast Dallas fire early yesterday. (Cue close-up of Wick’s left cheek, tracking the single tear that rolls down his face. That man loves him some little doggies.)

    I’m not sure what was worse, being rickrolled or watching the bartender start dancing like Rerun from ‘What’s Happening’ after hearing Astley’s vocal stylings.

    Inside information: Skip Bayless dances like Rick Astley. Exactly.

    Well now, East Dallas is appreciating and the Park Cities are depreciating — what was it you were saying about our schools here Wick? Perhaps some people actually want to go to schools where there is more than one race or class.

    And of all horrors, you will have to start covering our part of town..Marty may have to move to the M-Streets as well.
