Something funny happened.
El Paso MADD honored District Attorney Jaime Esparza for his efforts to curb drunk driving.
Why is that funny?
Because, unless I am wrong, Esparza has not done a single thing about this asshole:
Good ol' Canutillo ISD Trustee Armando Rodriguez, you know, the guy who ran into a telephone pole after leaving a bar.
Then there is that other asshole - former County Commissioner Carlos Aguilar.
I am sure at one time MADD did a great job, but like with other organizations mission creep has taken over.
If MADD can over look the lack of action by Esparza on high-profile cases, it is because MADD is more interested in keeping up appearances and hobnobbing than it is in curbing drunk driving.
And if MADD were serious about drunk driving, it would take on car-centric planning cos' let's face it people are gonna drink. But if they can walk home drunk rather than drive, I am sure a lot more lives would be saved.
