The decision is in response to several criticisms directed at the present site. With the exception of a few additions and subtractions, the same staff remains. "We aren't returning to the art that others unfairly dismissed as pornography or smut," said Managing Editor Scott Steinbeck. "But we are resuming the comments section. We will continue to cover downtown in particular, but we want to expand to cover Brownsville in general. "We have received approbation from our three readers regarding the upgrade in presentation. We don't plan to vary from that strategy, but we feel we limit ourselves by restricting our focus to only downtown." "I'm thrilled to hear about the change in direction," said Bobby Wightman-Cervantes, publisher of Brownsville Voice, once the border's top blog. "I love to submit opinions anonymously. It's like masturbating in the dark and imagining your mother fornicating with the black garbage man." "I would be less than honest if I said I wasn't disappointed in Downtown Browntown," stated Eduardo Paz-Martinez, the genius behind The Paz Files. "Downtown Browntown was simply too mundane for my taste. Dr. McHale-Scully gave me the impression that he was buckling to political pressure." "I couldn't be happier with the glad tidings," echoed Jim "Balls" Barton, the voice behind Mean Mister Brownsville. "Eliminating the commentary was a disappointment. Blogs are a give-and-take process. You can't silence the dissidents in a public forum." "I need some competition," boomed Juan Montoya, the publisher of El Rrun Rrun who cancelled his three-month sojourn to Cuba in order to direct his efforts to reforming his hometown through the democratic process. "Downtown Browntown read like a series of press releases. Where was the muckraking journalism?" "IT'S ABOUT GODDAMN TIME!" thundered Maclovio O'Malley, Father Juan Nicolau's bastard son and political operative linked romantically with the outspoken activist Annie Gunn. "PINCHE MCHALE-SCULLY NO TIENE HUEVOS. ES UN MAMON QUE HABLA PURO PEDO. HE CUT ME OFF, EL PUTO. HE LOST HIS READERSHIP. NOW HE WANTS ME BACK. CAGAPALO! COMEMIERDA! TRAGAMECOS! AND FUCK YOU TOO, NORMA!!! UUUUUYYYYY!!!!!" "I have no comment," muttered Ronald Daniel Cavazos, The Brownsville Herald publisher whose premature ejaculations exacerbated by erectile dysfunction cut short his career as a beat reporter. "I didn't know there were any blogs in Brownsville. This is news to me." "Screw The Brownsville Herald!" spat Joe "Caliche" Kinney, the proprietor of Cobbleheads and Brownsville's unofficial mayor. "Dr. McHale-Scully and his crew cover our community objectively. "I invested thousands in the Herald through advertising and Cavazos sent a starving reporter who wrote that cockroaches inhabited my salads and shitting ducks seasoned my plates. Cocksucker! He's lucky he doesn't live in Philly. I love downtown as much as the next guy, but we need the underground press on the city's north side too." "We are calling our new publication the Brownsville Blues," continued Steinbeck. "We wanted a title that captured the impoverishment, ignorance, corruption and stagnation that characterizes this Third-World City teetering on the edge of civilization. "From every bad comes a good. That's the blues. I ain't got no money and my woman left me for another honey, but I'm inspired to write a new song. The Brownsville Blues will capture a Brownsville that we both love and hate simultaneously."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8975636851109159442-4851494736197896942?l=downbrowntownnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
