I should probably, at this point, have further investigated the various candidates for the District 3 spot on the Dallas ISD school board, since that’s the district in which I vote. I’ve been busy. I’m sorry. But, in a way, I have been paying attention to at least one candidate. His name is Bruce Parrott. I drive past his signs every day. After a month or so of staring at those signs while stopped at this light or that, I’ve come to a conclusion. Based on his name and general appearance, I believe Bruce Parrott to be an anthropomorphic parrot. That’s right. A real bird. I don’t know how it happened, but there it is. I also may be staying up too late.
I don’t know. You tell me if I’m crazy, based on the most recent head shot I could find. It’s after the jump.

Boy, anything can get on a ballot these days if it has enough signatures on its petition! <>
Except for this guy.
Thank God he’s not a duck, I’m anatidaephobic
Zac, Bruce is the husband of former Board Member Lois Parrott. Kiss, kiss.
That proves nothing!
I had to do a double-take to ascertain it was a parrot. I thought it was Geddy Lee.
I’ve decided to vote for Bernadette Nutall for district 9 because I love her hair.

Seriously, how can you note vote for that hair? I hope she isn’t in favor in ritual sacrifices of puppies in DISD or anything, I really don’t care enough to look up if she is.
Bernadette, love your hair, hope it wins!
Does this mean the candidate would be in favor of preserving the right to teach evolution in schools? Yay for science!
Oh, now I get it. Silly me. Of course a “Crain” and a “Parrott” would have issues. After all, birds of a feather. . .
Happy election day!
OK, this is weird. I’m positive it’s not the same guy, but I have an ex-uncle Bruce Parrot who was a convicted felon. (Yup, my family’s that awesome.) What are the odds that there are two of them?
