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'...

There is something about beginning the day with a cup of coffee. Somebody said a "hot" cup of coffee, but that would be as redundant as saying a "cold" glass of beer. Doc was seated when Don entered shaking his head even before he had taken his chair. Don: You've lost it, Doc. Doc: As long as I have my wallet filled with cash and credit cards with thousands in their accounts and I can still breathe deeply, I haven't lost it. Don: You're like The Brownsville Herald. You aren't relevant. Nobody reads you. Nobody takes anything you say seriously. You write rumors, puerile poems and senseless stories. You don't have your mojo anymore. Somebody said you've stopped smoking dope. Border schwag was always your inspiration. Nobody sees you downtown anymore. What happened to Brownsville's last standing bohemian...
