JESUS CHRIST'S PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

At The McHale Report we support the rewriting of history if as a society we are committed to the truth rather than perpetuating a myth, which is nothing more than fiction substituting for facts.

/AB-C, the mercurial magician of poetic prose, issued a challenge on his blog, The Brownsville Banana, that the real Jesus Christ, physically speaking, be rendered as he might appear as a living human stripped of the ethereal excesses.

"I have visited the Middle East, particularly Israel, on several occasions," says Father Jesus P. Cadissimo, the excommunicated priest who shepherds a flock at Cameron Park. "I can only conceive of him in modern terms, a person who would blend into the flow of pedestrians sauntering along Jerusalem streets.

"I imagine a man of average height, a full head of hair and clean-shaven," articulated The McHale Report's religious expert. "I picture a slender individual with an athletic step in his stride. Attired in a button-down shirt, a pair of kahkis and penny loafers, he would emanate a confident calm that would inspire men and excite women.

"I sent several photographs of both Israeli and Palestinian men to former Brownsville Herald photographer Brad 'Boner' Doherty and asked him to combine the different photos into one assemblage. To his credit, he took his time, the advantage of retirement, and returned his pictorial portrayal of Our Lord.

"By coincidence, City Commissioner Ben Neece walked into our historical downtown office while the staff studied Doherty's modern rendition. Neece took one look and suddenly exclaimed, 'I know I've seen that cabrón! Jesus Christ! I swear! I know that cabrón! He said that he was going to bury all remnants of the Confederacy first and then he was going to deposit Christianity six-feet under next.'"

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...
