THE WHOLE

  I am finishing the first draft of The Coronavirus Chronicles. It has all the makings of a Tolstoy tome with a Faulkner flair. In order to edit this slam-dump masterpiece, I need to escape Brownsville for a foreign country and rent an apartment in a colonial setting with a balcony and a view of the narrow streets. With COVID limiting my options, I originally planned to go to Coimbra, Portugal, but Western Europe won't allow Americans in their countries.

COVID is also surging throughout Latin America, but the numbers are low in Uruguay. With legalized marijuana and tranquility a characteristic of its people, I'm considering moving to Montevideo the first of the year. Though I have my retirement and my savings, I need contributions to my cause. Then I read about the financing of Pink Ape's Rodrigo Moreno's film The Whole. Noted El Rrun Rrun Publisher Juan Montoya about the undertaking: 

"The sale and distribution of the film to Netflix would bring a hefty return ($750,000) to be shared by five investors. Moreno said that the investors were Brownsville Mayor Trey Mendez, $20,000, former Cameron County Judge and Texas Secretary of State Carlos Cascos, $15,000, BISD Trustee Dr. Sylvia Atkinson $30,000, Andy Vera, $5,000, and Moreno, $50,000."

I need $100,000. The Coronavirus Chronicles will easily gross $5 million. Those who lend money to complete this project, I will double their investments. Since Dr. Sylvia Atkinson has serious legal problems and Rodrigo Moreno is trying to make ends meet as he endeavors to finish his movie, I know I can't count on those two, but Mendez, Cascos and Vera have deep pockets and there is nothing like betting the house on a sure thing. 

I will be communicating with them shortly. I'm excited.

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...
