No, Susie, No!

Why, Susie???

Why???

You working for Escobar is not part of the plan.  You need to run for Pickett's seat.

But, I cannot blame you. 

Escobar will pay you better than the Texas Legislature ever will, even if you were to max out your per diem.  

Now, you working for Escobar can only mean Escobar really plans on doing a whole lot of nothing other than traveling and going to dinner parties.

Basically, you are the de facto Congresswoman.

It will be you doing all the heavy lifting while Escobar parties.

Not that you mind.  

You want to be the gatekeeper.

You want Dee Margo, Jose Rodriguez, Ted Houghton, and so on, to go through you first before they can get to Escobar.

This is probably the best move for you.

You get what you have always wanted...power.

As far as for El Paso, oh man, you're phucked.

 

Art Fierro...really?

Come on, El Paso.

Art Fierro.

Really?

He's not exactly the smartest peanut in the turd.  

I gotta better person in mind.

Susie. Byrd. 

Whether she lives in the district or not is immaterial.  

It ain't like the Chair of Democratic Party would want to get sideways with the Congresswoman-elect’s BFF.

So why Byrd?

Even though Byrd would be freshman in the Delegation, with her personality, more importantly because of her BFF, she would have that Delegation by the balls. 

She would be calling all the shots.  

It would be a sight to behold.

So show me as endorsing Susie Byrd for State Rep. 

Soccer Balls

So your soon-to-be retiring State Senator, Jose Rodriguez, is doing a soccer ball Christmas drive for all the Central American kids hanging out in Tornillo.  

And man, the way people have been blowing each on Twitter other for donating soccer balls is a bit much.  

But as they say, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

That's right.

5-3. 

53. 

All I ask...easy with the teeth.

 

Now This Is Fresh

This may come as a surprise to some, but I have made my share of mistakes. 

In life, you can always right a wrong.

In politics, maybe.

In politics your past, or present, mistakes may or may not cost you. 

Get shitfaced and drive onto oncoming traffic?

If you are, Beto, you get a pass.

Do an interview say something slightly off?

If you are Julian Castro, you get Hatch Act'ed.

The rules of how mistakes are judged are not made by me. 

So with that in mind, let us talk about Veronica Frescas's mistakes or "mistakes". 

Again, no indictment of her as person.  People deserve second chances. 

But since we are talking about elected office, people try to convince themselves they are voting for Jesus.  Well, may be not in this situation.  In this situation it is more like Moses.  But I digress.

So what has Ms. Frescas done?

Well, it appears that a brother of local area judge sued Ms. Frescas a few years ago: Download Frescas v Strathmann

Then there is the issue of a foreclosure: Download Foreclosure

The argument can be made that if Frescas cannot keep her own house in order, literally and figuratively speaking, she probably should not be legislation or spending your money. 

Other hand, Frescas can say something like, "Like most El Pasoans, I was not born with silver spoon in my mouth. But what I am going to do is get those spoons and melt them make up for all the tips I did not make in the past.  Social justice. Bitches."  Or something like that.  I do not know what she really wants to do with other people's money.  

But there you have it. 

I report, you decide. 

Or maybe you have already decided. 

Whatever.

It is your damn funeral. 

Pick your own damn pallbearer.
