Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price stands up for what he believes in, and when it comes to bird poop, he will have none of it. Price and fellow commissioner Ken Mayfield had a heated argument Tuesday over when Price should schedule power-washing of sidewalks in front of the Commissioners Court in order to rid the sidewalks of said excrement.
Seems Mayfield had gotten accidentally sprayed, and he asked that the washing occur at another time. To which Price replied, "You the only mother [expletive] out here worried about getting sprayed." I'd say that's check and mate, Mr. Mayfield.
UPDATE: Wow, who knew the story could get any better? Price is now personally cleaning up the bird poop with his own power washer, instead of having a crew come in and do it. I don't think that was Mayfield's point, Mr. Price, but feel free if it makes you feel better. Watch the video below to see Price showing off his guns in a "Vote or Die" t-shirt.

Didn't Fort Worth get some hawk trainer to scare off the birds at night?

Theres something metaphorical or even, dare I say, poetic about this. JWP has been a big trash talker over the years and left his own verbal feces on the public office that he represents. Maybe this is the universe giving JWP some of his own comeuppance...

Maybe they should have gotten a hawk instead.

I'm just wondering how my hawk has been doing so well with no training whatsoever. It hardly ever even pees on the rug anymore.
