GARZA 10-16

 Dr. Polyphemous Pangloss, after making the rounds at Valley Baptist Medical Center in Harlingen, invited the Chicano poet Estanislao Contreras to lunch. They met at La Playa, Harlingen's version of Brownsville's Vermillion. Contreras thought twice. He has never felt at ease in the former home of the KKK in the RGV, but he was hungry and his buddy was covering the bill. "What the hell!" he thought.

 Dr. Pangloss was sitting on the bar side.

"You're as white as a ghost," said the physician. "Are you allright?"

"I hate this racist town. You say I'm as white as a ghost? Maybe these white supremacists won't mistake me for a Mexican and instead of my natural brown they will leave me black and blue. Do you see how these white-trash reactionaries are doing Trump's dirty work by coordinating the dirtiest campaign I've witnessed in 45 years covering local politics. They know that everyone is for sale across the border, so they are planting stories in the Mexican newspapers to undermine Eric Garza's efforts to be our next sheriff. He beat Sheriff Omar Lucio in the Democratic Primary fair and square. Are you going to tell me that some of our poor losers are allying themselves with the treacherous Trump? In 2020 no true Democrat would ever vote for Trump or the Republicans. They have left 215,000 of our fellow Americans dead and millions unemployed."

"I read the militias are joining the Republican ranks against Garza because they want to be sheriff deputies come next January," observed Dr. Pangloss.

"I've heard they call themselves the Harlingen Heathens. They are a bunch of Neo-Nazi Baptists who have no respect for our Catholicism. I heard one of these rednecks say, 'The Virgin of Guadalupe is the world's biggest whore because she fucks the poor for all their dough.'"

"Damn! Trump would have had a hard time topping that one. Has he called Eric a rapist yet? Has he said that Eric is financing his campaign through drug money? Has he said that Eric won't be able to meet the challenge of his new office because Mexicans are bringing nothing but crime to the Valley?"

"The carpetbagger is counting on the Mexican-American scalawags to turn on Eric because Trump knows that many Mexican Americans feel like they are second-class citizens and in order to ascend the social ranks they choose to pay homage to him, their White Master," spat Estanislao. 

"I hope our Democratic leaders like the Lucios, Gilberto Hinojosa, Eddie Treviño, Trey Mendez, David Betancourt, Sylvia Garza-Perez and Sofia Benavides are not tolerating any middle ground. You are either a Democrat or you aren't. If you are a Trump Republicans, you deserve to burn in hell for an eternity for all the death and destruction Trump and his traitors have unleashed on our country."

"I know a few Democrats who have disgraced themselves because Trump has put a few extra thousand in their pockets, but Eric is doing an excellent job at unifying the party and he is going mano-a-mano with Trump and his Harlingen Heathens by exposing them as the true hypocrites they are," said Dr. Pangloss. 

"We are a sick nation. Our only cure rests with electorate. They have to excise the cancer that Trump and his Republican reactionaries are in order to restore us to our health. With the Democrats we will once again rise. With the Republicans we are signing our demise."

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...
