11-Year-Old Chides Rude City Council Members

Dallas News | myFOXdfw.com

11-year-old David Williams attended a Dallas City Council meeting this week so he could tell the members of his concerns about teachers being allowed to bring guns to school.

"What is an alternative for teachers to keep their students safe in the DISD district without having to bring dangerous weapons to school?" David asked the council members politely.

While waiting for a response to his question, Davide noticed that council members appeared distracted and were walking around the room while community members were speaking.

David stepped back up to the podium and asked "Do you feel it is acceptable for city council members to be up and walking around while constituents are addressing them?"

Well, that got their attention!

Longtime councilmember Dwaine Caraway was the first to respond to David and praised the young man’s courage. “Let me first be apologetic to you because I do walk a lot around here but we had to keep things going at times but it is not so respectful to walk around when visitors are speaking so I will adhere to that as well,” the councilmember told the boy.

When a Fox4 reporter asked David if he wanted to be a city council member in the future, he said yes, but is more interested in being President of the United States.



Romney Cuts Off the Hired Help

shellshocked

Willard Mitt Romney may have been shell shocked when his second attempt to rule the empire failed, but he stayed true to himself right up until the very end.

Via:

"From the moment Mitt Romney stepped off stage Tuesday night, having just delivered a brief concession speech he wrote only that evening, the massive infrastructure surrounding his campaign quickly began to disassemble itself. Aides taking cabs home late that night got rude awakenings when they found the credit cards linked to the campaign no longer worked."

"Fiscally conservative," one Romney campaign staffer told NBC.

At least he didn't ship them all off to China.

Forbes' Helaine Olen notes:

In case you are wondering, this did not have to happen. The Mitt Romney for President entity does not end with Romney’s Tuesday night loss. There are papers to be filed with various federal commissions and bills to be paid ….

The Mitt Romney for President financial entity survives for as long as two more years as these tasks are completed.

The staff would also still have to face the bitter billionaire donors.

On Wednesday, Romney had a post-defeat breakfast with some of his wealthiest and most loyal donors. At the private gathering, the donors allegedly unloaded on Romney staff for its failed "junior varsity operation."

And then, a little Karma perhaps?

At some point, early Wednesday morning, when Gov. Mitt Romney and family were tucked into bed, a quiet call went out on the radio channel used by his Secret Service agents: "Javelin, Jockey details, all posts, discontinue."

Of all the indignities involved in losing a presidential race, none is more stark than the sudden emptiness of your entourage. The Secret Service detail guarding Governor Romney since Feb 1. stood down quickly. He had ridden in a 15-car motorcade to the Intercontinental Hotel in Boston for his concession speech. He rode in a single-car motorcade back across the Charles River to Belmont. His son, Tagg, did the driving.
