I've been asked a time or two why I think Fort Worth's mayor, Mike Moncrief, is goofy.
How would I know why he is goofy? I'm no psychiatrist.
I suppose if one did not follow, too closely, the antics of Fort Worth's mayor, it might sound a bit rude when I refer to him as Fort Worth's goofy mayor, Mike Moncrief.
But.
I've seen the mayor shooting pistols with the governor of Texas, Rick Perry, in downtown Fort Worth.
That is goofy.
I have seen the mayor pour purple Kool-Aid in to the Trinity River after reading a proclamation renaming a section of the river after a local football team. Fort Worth's mayor was trying to dye the river purple.
That is goofy.
And then this morning, in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, there were photos of Fort Worth's goofy mayor, Mike Moncrief, trying to rappel down the side of a downtown Fort Worth building.
That is goofy.
The goofy mayor forgot his rappelling instructions, which caused him to start his descent upside down.
That is also goofy.
