COWEN ALWAYS SHOWS GOOD SENSE

PHIL COWEN: "During this election cycle, I won’t be able to shake your hand nor will I hold any campaign events. I won’t be able to give you the customary abrazo and hug because I can’t go house to house as I did in past elections. There is a lot I can’t do because doing so will put others at risk. So, our campaign relies on you to make sure you spread the word around. I encourage you to wear a mask every day to protect yourself and your friends. Don’t go out unless you need to and please follow our local and state leaders’ guidance. By shielding ourselves, we guard each other against this virus. I am working tirelessly to keep our children and our staff safe. Continuing to do so requires me to humbly ask you for your vote for BISD Place 3."


(EDITOR'S NOTE: Why have the Cowen's always been respected in Brownsville politics? Besides a deep and abiding love for their fellow Mexican-Americans because as youngsters they were brought up with the brown brothers in the projects, they have always shown good sense. As politicians they have sought the middle way, compromise the path to success. At The McHale Report we endorsed Ralph Cowen for mayor when he ran against Pat Ahumada and Dr. Tony Zavaleta. More recently we endorsed John Cowen for city commissioner. This November 3 we are endorsing Phil Cowen for reelection to the BISD school board. Both a lawyer and a scholar, he is the type of role model we need representing our teachers and protecting our students. His mother was a respected educator and his wife teaches at Hudson Elementary School. With COVID-19 having claimed more than 500 lives in Cameron County, 1000 lives in Hidalgo County and 180,000 in the country, Cowen is going to conduct a word-of-mouth campaign. He is by far the most competent choice. His three opponents simply don't have his experience and gravitas. Jessica Gonzalez, who isn't promoting her education credentials because apparently she doesn't have any, borders on hysteria. If you thought BISD Board President Minerva Peña was bad, Gonzalez is a loose cannon whose heavy artillery only amounts to blanks. Argelia Miller, a veteran and a lady, is perceived as more of a gadfly than a serious candidate. And Viro "El Virus" Cardenas!!! The community is scraping the bottom of the barrel with this political failure. When he ran for mayor several years ago, he finished sixth in a five-person race. The pundits are predicting that he will finish fifth in a four-person race this November 3. Never has our option been more obvious. And to our relief, Cowen is an excellent option. Cowens never fail their community.)

RIBERT E, LEE

With the City having disposed of Jefferson Davis and the BISD wrestling with the fate of slaveholder and traitor Charles Stillman, Brownsville's treacherous founder after whom the school district has named a campus, Texas Southmost College is moving to remove the designation of the Robert E. Lee Youth Center located in the Jacob Brown complex. "The board listened to a Zoom presentation by an individual who insisted that Robert E. Lee's name should be removed from the junior college because associating a traitor with higher education was a disservice to the latter," said a former Brownsville Herald columnist. "Apparently, his appeal has found sympathy with TSC Trustee Dr. Tony Zavaleta, a respected historian and renown writer. He has asked TSC President Jesus Roberto Rodriguez to put the item on the next agenda and consider the imminent removal of Lee's name, a traitor who refused command of the Union armies so he could lead the Confederacy and the rebels'...

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...

NICKNAMES

  he McHale Report's managing editor Scott Steinbeck was working at his desk in historic downtown when Max Maxwell, dean of the RGV sportswriters, approached him. "Don't you like Jason Moody, the BISD's new public information officer?" asked Maxwell. "He's neither here nor there for me. He seems like a pleasant enough fellow to me. Why?" "How did 'The Jackal' occur to you as a nickname?" "It's always fun to welcome a new face with a nickname. It makes him or her nervous because they lose sleep trying to ascertain the implications of being branded." "Then why 'The Jackal' for Moody?" "I have a predilection for alliteration and Jason and Jackal seemed to flow. I was thinking on the fly. Why. Do you have something better?" "It fits within your alliteration style. Call him Jason 'La Monarca' Moody." "I can go with that. Any particular reason on your part of that designatio...
