Adelfa Callejo's Enemies List Shrinks by Two

Oops, where's that missing billion dollars of light rail?

I wrote previously about an obvious example of bigotry in Dallas, but it gets even uglier. Here's a retort to Callejo by a well-connected in-the-news activist blogger in Dallas, Rufus Shaw. Shaw was a huge supporter that helped the current Dallas Mayor, Tom Leppert, get elected. The retort clearly reflects the palpable Latino-Black mistrust going on in Dallas that Adelfa articulated.

You could almost take the retort seriously except the author and his wife, Lynn, double-suicided (or murder-suicided in some combination) a couple of days ago, about a week after it was written. Evidence of corruption on multiple
high-profile fronts was hitting closer and closer to home for the couple, and apparently it was too much for their fragile egos to face the music.

Congratulations to Jim Schutze of Unfair Park for the literal bleeding-edge journalism.

Wow. That's some serious political drama. Of course, Spitzer gets national coverage, and this sort of thing hardly ever even makes the local news, much less beyond.
