Leading Off (4/14/10)

 1. “Hard, hard” days are ahead for the city of Dallas, Mary Suhm told a gathering of city employees. The city is still figuring out how to bridge a $130 million budget gap, a year after the city already sliced and diced its budget. I think it is safe to say there will be some nasty layoffs on Marilla in coming months. Of course, the city could always try not picking up trash, like in Naples. Could even call ourselves the “Naples of Texas.” Or, wait, Steve Blow has some ideas.

2. Hey, Vince Young, Dallas is not Las Vegas. What happens in Dallas doesn’t stay in Dallas. It gets reported around the country. Don’t get into an “altercation” at a Dallas strip club. I mean, this is the city that invented Cheaters. You’re just making your life harder. 

3. A picture is worth a thousand words, right? So I’m not going to say anything about this AP photo of Rick Perry speaking at the Republican Party of Texas’ convention in Dallas this past weekend, because it is all about the image the GOP is trying to convey anyway.

  4. Not sure who the wit is, but the title of that AP Perry pic on the Fox News website is “perry_rick_monster_397×224″

    I’d have used “freak” instead.

  5. Perry would look Biblical in that photo if only he had his Rod to support him. http://www.rodparsley.com/RodParsley.aspx
