You just thought the election was over. No, in our era of perpetual elections, there's always another election just around the corner. In our case, it's the Richardson City Council election of May, 2011. Today, we hear the starting pistol for that race sound in a story by Ian McCann in The Dallas Morning News. The candidates in the race are likely to be wearing team uniforms this time.
After the jump, an early look at the partisan outlines of the race.

No, that's not right. Community gardens are already in Richardson. Three are owned and operated by Richardson East Church of Christ, First United Methodist Church and The Epiphany Episcopal Church. So, what's coming to Richardson? Apparently, only a proposal for the city to pay for water for these community gardens. (See city's proposal here and The Dallas Morning News story here.)
After the jump, my thoughts.
Hint #1: it's not the woman. (It never is.)
Hint #2: it's not Macy's secularization of Christmas. (Still, don't tell Jeffress.)
Hint #3: click on the ad for a close-up detail. (Spoiler alert.)
The 111th Congress winds up its work in Washington, the most productive Congress in a half century.
If the 112th Congress does half as well, Americans will be well-served. Here's wishing for a happy 2011.
Locally, our Richardson City Council is also winding down on its own two year term, which ends in May, 2011. It also has been a very productive one so far.
If the city can keep the momentum on these last two items before its term ends in May, it will be one of the most productive city councils in my memory. Here's wishing for a happy 2011 locally, too.
