BOBBY'S BLUES

Bobby Wightman-Cervantes: Sorry guys. I am really down. Walking is nearly impossible.  The VA is holding on another eye glass prescription until they see how I respond to having the fluid removed from my brain on the 8th. On Monday, in hopes of strengthening the legs, I start physical therapy again.  Sitting is so painful, but I'm better with the new chair I just got. Walking is horrible. The medication for the neuropathy has stopped working, so I live with the sensation my legs are being filleted nonstop. I have no internal thermostat, which is why I freeze all of the time. I wear flannel long underwear and flannel pajamas with double socks. My heater is at 73 and I feel like I am in a freezer. Everything is on hold until they drain the excessive brain fluid and see how I respond.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: Bobby Wightman-Cervantes', the publisher of The Brownsville Voice, ranting and raving has turned into an endless diatribe. Just like the numerous doctors he visits don't pay any attention to his many physical woes, the public stopped taking him seriously years ago. He is an absolute nobody who has convinced himself that he is a powerful somebody. How can an individual be so delusional? But we at The McHale Report enjoy Bobby's fulminations just like the king enjoys his jester's exhibitions. He has been kind to our founder, Dr. G.F. McHale-Scully, lately. He hasn't called him a bitch or a whore or a bought drunk or Mike Hernandez's puppet or a porn blogger. He is too obsessed with taking down all of Brownsville over an alleged gay slur. He believes that homophobic Brownsville is precipitating the suicides of hundreds of children. Brownsville is not anti-gay. Hell, we love Bobby. But there is a more serious issue that demands immediate attention. The doctor who is treating Bobby finds himself facing a dilemma. He is repeatedly asking his colleagues: "How can I possibly draw fluid if I can't find Bobby's brain?" But as those legendary coaches, Joe Rodriguez and Tom Chavez, used to say, "No pain! No gain!" For Bobby he ultimately escapes his aches and ills with yet another out-of-body experience because in the opinion of all the other bloggers Bobby is insane. Since the line is so thin, however, Bobby contends that we are too stupid to appreciate a genius. Bobby! Don't get well. You keep us chuckling with your personal hell.)

REMI THROWS ELECTION TO BIDEN

Cameron County Elections Administrator Remi Garza is so Democratic that he bleeds blue. But how deep is his loyalty to the party? Does he rival George Parr who provided the crucial votes from Duval County that allowed Lyndon Baines Johnson to defeat Coke Stevenson for the U.S. Senate in 1948 and pave LBJ's path to the presidency? We would hope so. He knows that Trump is a cancer who is destroying our country. He knows that a figurative civil war is taking place as a result of Trump's polarizing politics that is eviscerating this nation. He knows that Trump is the epitome of evil and as a result of his many mortal sins God is punishing the United States as if we were Sodom and Gomorrah. Granted, it won't be an easy task. Trump defeated Clinton by 800,000 votes in 2016. To be on the safe side, Garza needs to find a million votes. Cameron County went for the Democrat, 60,000 to 30,000. Garza, therefore, must find 970,000 votes. Parr only had to deliver 200 votes, but Garza isn...

GROOVIN' ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON

In history there are events that change the sequence of time, the birth of Jesus Christ the most obvious example. But in communities, nations and the world there are occurrences that will serve as a reference point in the lives of individuals. There is the before and after of the earthquake. There is the before and after of the flood.  And there is the before and after of the war. As we know from personal deaths in our own families, existence subsequently changes forever. For me there will be the Coronavirus before and after. As a baby boomer, I escaped Vietnam because the country sent white trash, ghetto blacks and barrio Mexicans to do the fighting while we middle-class white boys partied through college. If I had had the combat experience, I'm sure my perspective would be different, but I didn't. With the exception of a few passings, my life has been free of trauma. I don't take this fortunate fate lightly. I knocked on my head regularly. Coronavirus, however, has perman...

JASON MOODY SITS FOR INTERVIEW

Jason "The Jackal" Moody, the new public information officer for the Brownsville Independent School District (BISD), is well-known in political circles. He has advised scores of candidates who, in the end, have usually lost to Rodrigo Moreno's Pink Ape aspirants. At The McHale Report we prefer imaginary interviews to the real thing because they don't take much time and they are more enjoyable to pen because we have more of a penchant for fiction than we do for realism although we mix them on occasion which has made Dr. G.F. McHale-Scully, our founder, famous world-wide for creating the fictional/realism genre. Our good friend Robert Sanchez contributed an inflatable woman to the blog. We filled her with air and her dimensions were quite extraordinary. Sanchez had previously baptized her Nubia and the name seem to fit her sensuous state. We sat her in a comfortable seat. Cris Valadez, ex-County Judge Carlos Cascos' former aide, is a ventriloquist. He sounds quite s...
