Puro sombrero: white hats do not good guys make; the appointee is a cheep off the old bloque

 

The black hair dye on the white cholo hat had scarcely dried when this trustee who was singing “Gloria” way too early realized his school district would not be dumping its superintendent in the manner in which he had designed.

What was with those hats and why do ridiculous, inarticulate people continue to be elected and re-elected to public office? It must be terribly hard for the high-end brainers on the LISD board to sit at the forum with folks who speak in tired little clichés. If the chancla fits, baby, slip it on. Worse yet must it be to work for the district and sit in the audience of a board meeting and understand, “Dios mio, these cuates are my bosses!”

¡Agarrense! It's going to be quite a ride, the upcoming race for Webb County Judge. One challenger has the words “You be the judge” attached to many visible surfaces across town and one person in particular responding, “I will be.”

Why you crying? The best show in town is still Public Access TV's broadcast of the Commissioners Court meetings. For a minute you think to yourself how lucky that something this entertaining is free, and then you realize it's not at all free. You pay them to act that way. You pay some of them especially well to be the arrogant, argumentative, and pompous characters that they are. Did you catch the recent “Cabezas Rodeando” episode? His ermine eminence read the names of firees and she of late appointment agreed all too quickly, so a cheep off the old bloque.

I told Penny Lane , Guadalupe Lane 's (QEPD) Carnaby Street cousin, not to be playing with no Ouija board, porque lookit! Aparecio, and in print!

Manitas y manitos, over in Zapata County you'll get an earful from some taxpayers who feel that if County Judge David Morales and the County Attorney José Lopez only want to work quarter time, then they should reimburse the County accordingly for the last five years, the County Judge $177,296, and the County Attorney $230,000. According to one taxpayer, the Judge spends eight to 20 hours a week on county business while earning about $44,000. The County Attorney earns $61,379 a year and spends between eight and 16 hours a week in Zapata.

Curiously and furiously those two public figures are at antagonistic odds with each other and are taken to public shows of acrimony.
