The road leading to the graveyard still needs paving and a good grading to fill the potholes, but the appearance has improved considerably.We remember that we said that illegal dumping at this holy place was above our culture and apparently, enough people took heed so that the dumping has apparently stopped. Today, if you maneuver past the potholes and high grass next to the drainage ditch between the new clinic and La Palma, you will come upon a clean, well-kept <i>campo sant</i>o where the souls of our dearly departed rest in peace.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6016803033174468094-4811767410548716062?l=rrunrrun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>

GARZA-PEREZ: IS FAVORING ONE CANDIDATE UNITING THE PARTY?
---------------------------------------------------------------
<br /><i>"I ask that we all come together and bring unity to the party not division. Lets remember that unity brings people together..division benefits no one..."</i> Sylvia Garza-Perez, chmn.-elect, Cameron County Democratic Party<br /><br />By <b>Juan Montoya</b><br /><br />If one is to believe Sylvia Perez-Garza, the Democratic party chair(person)-elect, she is going to be a different chairman than Gilberto Hinojosa and be inclusive, uniting, etc.,<br />So how does she explain that she is brazenly taking sides in some campaign races on behalf of her favorites, namely Erin Hernandez Garcia, in the runoff race for Justice of the Peace 2-2?<br />She is the same Sylvia who told a blogger recently that we would have to live with the politiquera system as a necessary evil until we find a better way to do it, distancing herself carefully from her relative (distant she says), politiquera extraordinaire Herminia Becerra?<br />At a recent function for a Democratic Party candidate, Garza-Perez twice came up to Erin's opponent Yolanda Begum and accused her of "trying to buy the election." and left before the startled candidate had a chance to ask what prompted her allegations.<br />Then, later in the same function, she accused Begum of being in contact with Republican candidate Raul Lopez, who will face the winner of the Democratic Party runoff in November.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4hX9CD8JbX1j2JqLDMFuH3XdtXcc3nPDZWKiHrOabGHPRuCfOAdaFAJymCUwwkS7EJzD75u1YVlcp8tQyzzgKB1Xa_FYE2sduRSgdtH_b1GmtrUZoELkZpfnRNbxL_rzqoqQ1KKjZ0bg/s1600/SYLVIA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4hX9CD8JbX1j2JqLDMFuH3XdtXcc3nPDZWKiHrOabGHPRuCfOAdaFAJymCUwwkS7EJzD75u1YVlcp8tQyzzgKB1Xa_FYE2sduRSgdtH_b1GmtrUZoELkZpfnRNbxL_rzqoqQ1KKjZ0bg/s320/SYLVIA.jpg" width="320" /></a>"Raul is my cousin and he tells me everything," she said accusingly.<br />Perez-Garza is feeling her oats and feels that she has a mandate in the county after she garnered an incredible  11,126 votes for chairman, far outstripping her closes opponent Jared Hockema who got 6,373. John Shergold languished a far third.<br />In her victory statements, she waxed about seeking the position "she wanted to unite and re-energize the party, which she sees as somewhat disorganized.<span style="background-color: white;">"</span><br />She told reporters that she wanted to remake the Democratic party and remove the party offices from the law offices of the chairman and set up satellite offices in Harlingen as well.<br />"I'd like to reorganize every group of precinct chairs and make them a little bit more responsible and more accountable," she said. "We have some precinct positions that people have been in there for 10 or 15 years and they don't come to any of the meetings."<br />Another goal is to get more young people involved and engaged with the party, Garza-Perez said, noting that civic responsibility isn't emphasized in schools as much as it should be.<br />It might help if the party would vet candidates and decide which ones best represent the party's interest, Garza-Perez told reporters.<br />So is this what she is doing now, before she even takes office? If it is, then she has apparently decided that she would rather have Erin Hernandez Garcia, the daughter of Cameron County Pct. 2 commissioner Ernie Hernandez as justice of the peace than she would Begum.<br />"Sylvia actively lobbied for the Latter Carrier's Union to endorse Erin instead of Begum when they were trying to come to a decision," said a party activist. "She is making no bones about who she is supporting in that race."<br />If so, Garza-Perez would be wise to note that at the recent Loteria hosted by Tony "La Peca" Rocha at his salon off the frontage road in Brownsville, more than 300 Begum supporters crowded the site in support of the candidate.<br />Also, the core of Begum's support are middle- and upper-middle class business-oriented people who have traditionally not gotten involved in local politics, content to remain commercially active with their concerns in northern Mexico even though they live in Brownsville and their families and children live here and attend local schools.<br />Should this group feel that Garza-Perez is campaigning against their candidate â€" Begum â€" that will not sit well with them and they might look for a more welcoming party such as the Republicans, who would welcome them with open arms. And all this before she even takes over the helm of the Democratic Party.<br />She, echoing another Brownsville female elected official, said her election appears to be historic: Garza-Perez believes she's the first woman and the first non-attorney to be elected to the position.<br />If she starts off on the wrong foot as she apparently is doing now, she might just be the last.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6016803033174468094-4567778734526473816?l=rrunrrun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>

SPARKS FLY IN CONSTABLE RUNOFF: PETE SUED FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT; GOMEZ PART OF LIMAS PROBE?
---------------------------------------------------------------
By <b>Juan Montoya</b><br /><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">With less than a month before early voting begins in the runoff elections â€" and more than a year since she resigned her position â€" a former secretary of Pct. 2 Constable Pete Avila has filed a sexual harassment suit against him in Hidalgo County alleging that he sexually harassed her and then forced her to resign.</div>Melinda Henderson, whose resignation was accepted on April 14, 2011, alleges that the Texas Worforce Commission and the U.S, Equal Employment Opportuity Commission rules allow her to file a lawsuit after her complaints alleging unlawful termination from Cameron County were turned down.<br /><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">In her lawsuit filed June 15 in Hidalgo County Court-At-Law #5, Henderson oultines a list of alleged violations of her civil rights that she said she endured at the hands of Avila while she was employed with Cameron County.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVlr-b5ElLP5cW3qCHgT94qyuqYpnHoqEM5JyvjSl9cmBNC19U_UikEL5lLqsZDEWJHxhXBL8KBt8N-8lCV_UVT-sf5c4QBiivhsAnp1G7ZRvwyKYoaN0UwtJ-jyz7nhsYdoBzAQER0mo/s1600/process_service.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVlr-b5ElLP5cW3qCHgT94qyuqYpnHoqEM5JyvjSl9cmBNC19U_UikEL5lLqsZDEWJHxhXBL8KBt8N-8lCV_UVT-sf5c4QBiivhsAnp1G7ZRvwyKYoaN0UwtJ-jyz7nhsYdoBzAQER0mo/s320/process_service.jpg" vca="true" width="320" /></a>Henderson begin working for Avila and Cameron County June 2009. Avila in the past has said that he hired Hendreson because at least three sitting county commissioners asked him to consder her employment and gave their recommendations. However, after a time, she was written up at least twice for not following directions (locking the office doors). There were also some confrontations reported between her and other bailiffs at the courthouse.</div>She claims in her lawsuit that Avila constantly harassed her and touched her inappropriately on several occasions, including once entering her home. Avila has disputed the claims and said he was forced to ask Henderson for her resignation and gave her a 30-day and a further 15-day extension when she said she couldn't find work. In the end, he said he was forced to ask her for the office keys in the presence of other constable deputies after she had first refused to hand them over.<br />After she left the constable's office, Henderson filed an unemployment claim with the Texas Workforce Commission Civil Rights Division which was denied. However, she obtained a plaintiff's dismissal and right to sue from the Workforce Comission on April 12, 2012, almnost a year to the date of her resignation.<br />The letters were received in Edinburg and gave her the right to file in Hidalgo County. Cameron County is also listed as a defendant in the action.<br />Avila's supporters say that the timing of the lawsuit indicate a political motive since Avila is locked in a heated runoff with former constable Abelardo Gomez. They also say that the woman's credibility has been questioned during her unemployment hearing and that she has also been sanctioned in the past for fraudulently claiming Medicaid and Food Stamp benefits by stating in her application that her daughter lived with her when in fact she was living and attending high school in Austin, Texas.<br />Documents indicte that she voluntarily signed a statement admitting she signed the fraudulent applications for benefits.<br />"She had to pay back more than $2,350 in food stamp and Medicaid benefits when she was caught," said one. "The only reason she was able to negiotiate that was because Rene Oliveira was representing her and he negotiated a deal."<br />The same supporters also hint that Henderson might have political motivations for filing the lawsuit hoping that any ensuing controversy might result in his loss to his opponent in the runoff. They also hint â€" as other have in the local blogs â€" that Gomez might be the subject of an investigation related to the ongoing Limas corruption case and of the Cameron County District Attorney's office.<br />"Gomez has been seen going to the US Attorneys's office and there is even a report that he might have been taken to San Antonio for questioning," said a commenter on a blog. <br />Avila said he had been served Monday as had been county's legal counsel.<br />"They told me not to worry about it," he said. "I didn't believe it when she left the county that she was going to cause trouble for me in the election."<br />Observers say that the Hernderson lawsuit will probably not be heard for months after it was filed, but that the timing of the filing and the service was meant to generate a negative impact in the constable's bid for re-election.<br />"What other reason could there be for the filing and publication of it now?," asked one. "It's like the rumors against Gomez. It's curious it all comes out right at election time."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6016803033174468094-1801201377011625410?l=rrunrrun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>

ZAPATA KNEW: PLAY THE GAME, TAKE YOUR CHANCES
---------------------------------------------------------------
<div>By <b>Juan Montoya</b></div><div>We have named a street after him, a boat ramp on the way to Padre Island, and his family has received the highest honors a nation gives its slain warriors, including a call from the commander-in-chief and that of his boss, the secretary of Homeland Security.</div><div>And, without even knowing for sure, we're confident that his family has received the financial benefits usually afforded to the survivors of one of its slain agents.</div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOXXCboPqNjaQkrCiKSwqAtq1KKhz0dfHCJGOFyQTaz4S-_urHPjSxz5r1GWD-lej1FHiM1C-HR97ScqleUV53C07-W7ow5RHTYy8el4Bwh76lTvJN2wLvrzgr90FYQ13rv9fzdbjYNew/s1600/zapata1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="98" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOXXCboPqNjaQkrCiKSwqAtq1KKhz0dfHCJGOFyQTaz4S-_urHPjSxz5r1GWD-lej1FHiM1C-HR97ScqleUV53C07-W7ow5RHTYy8el4Bwh76lTvJN2wLvrzgr90FYQ13rv9fzdbjYNew/s320/zapata1.jpg" width="320" /></a>But apparently, that isn't enough for the family and the attorneys representing the survivors of Jaime Zapata, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent killed in Mexico and have filed a $25 million wrongful death claim against the U.S. government.</div>Other cities and towns around Texas and the rest of the country have also honored the memory of the young agent.<br />His family says officials with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) knew that the men who bought the guns used in Zapata's murder were buying weapons bound for Mexico, but did nothing to stop them.<br />Zapata, of Brownsville, was serving as U.S. adviser in Mexico when he and Agent Victor Avila were gunned down on a highway in Mexico between Mexico City and San Luis Potosi by members of Los Zetas drug cartel. Avila survived and has joined the case.<br />Zapataâ€™s parents and Avila retained attorneys to pursue claims against the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the FBI â€œarising out of their wrongdoing.â€The attorneys are Benigno â€œTreyâ€ Martinez of Martinez, Barrera & Martinez of Brownsville; Raymond L. Thomas of Kittleman, Thomas & Gonzales of McAllen; and Magdalena A. Villalobos of the Rad Law Firm of Fort Worth. Jaime Zapata was killed February 2011 in a roadside attack.<br /><div>In the lawsuit, the family maintain that a Texas-based operation similar to Operation Fast and Furious is responsible for allowing the weapons that killed Zapata and injured Avila to get into the hands of known killers. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span>That gun sale plan, known as Operation Fast and Furious has been widely criticized by lawmakers.<br />Those of us who have served in the military or other law-enforcement occupations with the government know that once you pin on the badge and take the oath, you voluntarily enter a world where danger is at every turn. Bad guys all around the world see you as the representative of their worse enemy. It comes with the territory.</div><div>Certain political factions in the U.S. have made it nearly impossible to halt the sale of assault weapons at gun shows with the minimal identification on the part of the purchaser. The Fast and Furious programs were undertaken by the government to try to track the illegal "gunwalking" of these weapons to cartels and organized crime groups in Mexico.</div><div>Zapata and Avila knew this. In fact, news reports indicate that Zapata had actually participated in operations that detected such sales. In fact, he described such an operation in an ICE Report of Investigation (ROI) from August 2010 describing 80 weapons seized in an arms smuggling interdiction between Phoenix, Arizona and San Antonio, Texas. </div><div>Of these weapons, the majority (approximately 50) were noted to have come from Operation Fast and Furious in Arizona, purchased by Uriel Patino and Jacob Chambers. The ROI was written and signed by Zapata. In other words, when he agreed to wok in Mexico, he knew what he was getting into.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPhcTdHIyTWyWAawn8EPgRbyI5rXn9WuTrnc2IS5IT0QfvYZfIAehKRKlvfRqOoMy2A5kHeZWCt-Za9m9OP_fvkV71OF2xEy30B3WSqcfVWMOIKysCnhr-ZCfhC7N8JVqhSAN6tPYNQGo/s1600/casket-of-ICE-agent-Jaime-Zapata.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="208" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPhcTdHIyTWyWAawn8EPgRbyI5rXn9WuTrnc2IS5IT0QfvYZfIAehKRKlvfRqOoMy2A5kHeZWCt-Za9m9OP_fvkV71OF2xEy30B3WSqcfVWMOIKysCnhr-ZCfhC7N8JVqhSAN6tPYNQGo/s320/casket-of-ICE-agent-Jaime-Zapata.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />For his family now to sue the federal government equates to a U.S. soldier suing the government for the Taliban killing Americans using weapons originally provided clandestinely to the mujahdeen to fight the Russians.<br />What's next from these lawyers? Will they find Mexican victims killed with these weapons and sue the government again?<br />We wish the Zapata family the best in their quest to get money from the government. But there is a gnawing sense among some of us that this is more of a lawyers' ambulance-chasing effort than any crusade to right a wrong or to honor the memory of someone who died in service of his country.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6016803033174468094-2719564343718000640?l=rrunrrun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>

Brown campus.<br />â€œAt a meeting of the TSC and UT System transition teams in Brownsville on Monday (June 25), TSC representatives announced that the community college district would not sell any real estate at this time or in the next three to five years, and that leasing facilities for use by UTB is the appropriate solution.<br />â€œThe UT System stated early in the transition team negotiations that leasing facilities is not in the best interest of UTBâ€™s educational mission as it is not conducive for a prosperous and growing four-year university. The UT Systemâ€™s priority remains to build a vibrant four-year university campus that one day can rival the best universities in the state. Doing so on borrowed land and with leased facilities does not allow UTB to appropriately advance its educational mission. Without access to land for expansion in Ft. Brown, the proposed â€˜Educational Villageâ€™ would not be practical; therefore, the UT System will move quickly to evaluate alternative sites in Brownsville for future expansion of the main UTB campus and build the required infrastructure necessary to accommodate its students by Fall of 2015.<br />â€œTransition activities in preparation for the separation of the two institutions will continue as before, through the interim period until the August 31, 2015 termination date.â€</div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6016803033174468094-4022714249684374631?l=rrunrrun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>

MARCHAN SINGING FOR HIS SUPPER, WILL HE GET BREAK(FAST)?
---------------------------------------------------------------
By <b>Juan Montoya</b><br /><br />It ain't the fat lady that you hear when you pass by the federal courthouse in Brownsville.<br />Insiders say that in view of his seven-count racketeering and bribing conviction related to the Abel Limas judicial corruption investigation, the virtuoso voice you may hear singing is that of Port Isabel attorney Ray Marchan.<br />Marchan, who fought the federal government's charges that he paid Limas kickbacks and bribes for appointments to lucrative cases, is the first defendant in the federal slate who fought the prosecution aggressively, but now â€" facing a long time in prison â€" is moving quickly to make points (literally) with the federal government.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz_1M42MBwOTbDwNW8WgYPtutghedFkJ3IvobwapLlW18lqGaurpXvNWkulchkgPkZ6ZfgqiOooPbetEJ9kdMrlvnc8RJHkR9l33BIOap8K4FEO333sgQNxYHXyr6iqBlJhBB7bla4Voo/s1600/canary1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz_1M42MBwOTbDwNW8WgYPtutghedFkJ3IvobwapLlW18lqGaurpXvNWkulchkgPkZ6ZfgqiOooPbetEJ9kdMrlvnc8RJHkR9l33BIOap8K4FEO333sgQNxYHXyr6iqBlJhBB7bla4Voo/s320/canary1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>During Marchan's trial, tantalizing glimpses into the scope of the government's judicial corruption probe were given the public when the names of a handful of Cameron County judges and prosecutors, including DA Armando Villalobos, came up in testimony and cross-examination by the defense. Federal Judge Andrew Hanen limited the questioning of the witnesses when they strayed away from the case before them against Marchan.<br />However, while on the stand, Limas did implicate some prominent jurists.<br />Already, his testimony is known to include several district judges who he said committed unspeakable "crooked" and unethical acts. Limas, in his attempt to save his skin, his wife's, and his son's freedom, has spilled his guts to the federal government.<br />Those judges â€" 138th District Judge Arturo C.

DA (Doug Pettit) also claims he was unaware that he was being drafted to be part of a Limas-Marchan scheme to generate ad litem fees for him and Marchan. Whether other evidence linking Nelson ad Pettit to the probe is in the hands of the feds is not known.</span><br />And now that Marchan can almost hear the clanging of the prison cell doors behind him on the way out of the Rio Grande Valley, whose head will he seek to deliver to the government is anyone's guess.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6016803033174468094-6665829187783163638?l=rrunrrun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>

TSC TO UTB: NO SALE: PAY YOUR RENT AND WE'LL TALK

Tercero, President of TSC, expressed that â€œthe TSC Board of Trustees is committed to ensuring the successful completion of the transition process and looks forward to having two very prestigious educational institutions in our community.â€<br />She stated that â€œTSC embraces the concept of an educational village, as proposed by the UT System.â€ According to Dr. Tercero, â€œIt is a financially viable and student-friendly concept that would entail the sharing of certain student-related services.â€ Additionally, this collaboration would allow TSC and UTB students continued access to existing facilities.<br />Dr. Tercero did point out that, â€œAt first glance, some operations might be viewed as viable candidates for consolidation or may appear to be redundant, but in actuality, it may be necessary to keep these operations separate for various reasons. For example, the mission of the community college is different from that of a university. Each institution has been purposely designed to serve different populations and different community needs. As a result, service needs and program offerings at both institutions differ, as do reporting requirements at the local, state and federal levels.â€<br />According to Dr. Tercero, â€œAlthough the UT System has expressed interest in purchasing certain buildings and land, TSC sincerely believes their proposed concept and educational space requirements can be fully accomplished by leasing rather than selling TSC property.â€ â€œIt is too early to determine the level of growth that will occur at TSC and UTB; therefore, the TSC Board of Trustees believes that it is fiscally prudent and in the best interest of the College District and UTB to retain the flexibility of a leasing program at this time.â€ While the Board of Trustees is committed to ensuring the long-term viability of TSC, it is also strongly committed to assisting UTB as it moves to becoming operationally independent from the partnership. â€œTSC is ready to work with UTB to ensure that it has the space it needs to implement its academic program as both institutions move to becoming operationally independent in fall 2013,â€ she stated.<br />TSC was initially established in 1926 and entered into a partnership with the University of Texas at Brownsville in 1991. In early 2011, the UT System Board of Regents and the TSC Board of Trustees voted to terminate the partnership. TSC is scheduled to become operationally independent by fall 2013 and separately accredited by August 31, 2015.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6016803033174468094-5570580137512600059?l=rrunrrun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>

A Retelling of How the Bitch Stole Christmas

The whole TSC Mission!<br />Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.<br />It could be her birth made her brown and not white.<br />It could be, perhaps, she got beat with a shoe every night.<br />But I think that the most likely reason of all<br />May have been that her heart was two sizes too small.<br /><br />But,<br />Whatever the reason,<br />Her birth or the shoes,<br />She plotted and planned and continued to schmooze <br />Staring down from her cave with a sour, Bitchy frown<br />At the warm lighted windows below in their town.<br />For she knew every Brown down in Brownsville beneath<br />Was busy now, hanging a Juliet effigy wreath.<br /><br />"And they're casting their ballots!" she snarled with a sneer.<br />"Tomorrowâ€™s TSC-College! It's practically here!"<br />Then she growled, with her Bitch fingers nervously drumming,<br />"I MUST find a way to keep TSC-College from coming!"<br />For, tomorrow, she knew...<br /><br />...All the Brown girls and boys<br />Would wake up bright and early. Theyâ€™d vote out her boys!<br />And then! Oh, the Choice ! Oh, the choice! Choice! Choice! Choice!<br />That's one thing she hated! The CHOICE! CHOICE! CHOICE! CHOICE!<br /><br />Then the Browns, young and old, would demand fees be decreased.<br />And they'd feast! And they'd feast!<br />And they'd FEAST! FEAST! FEAST! FEAST!<br />They would start questioning costs, and how they'd been fleeced<br />Which was something the Bitch couldn't stand in the least!<br /><br />And THEN<br />They'd do something she liked least of all!<br />Every Brown down in Brownsville, the tall and the small,<br />Would stand close together, with College bells ringing.<br />They'd have TSC-itis. And the Browns would start singing!<br /><br />They'd sing! And they'd sing!<br />AND they'd SING! SING! SING! SING!<br />And the more the Bitch thought of the Junior-College-Sing<br />The more the Bitch thought, "I must stop their TSC thing!<br />"Why for nineteen odd years I've put up with it now!<br />I MUST stop TSC College from coming!<br />...But HOW?"<br /><br />Then she got an idea!<br />An awful idea!<br />THE BITCH<br />GOT A WONDERFUL, AWFUL IDEA!<br /><br />"I know just what to do!" The Bitch Laughed in her throat.<br />And she made a quick Santy Claus hat and a coat.<br />And she chuckled, and clucked, "What a great Bitchy trick!<br />"With her coat and her hat, I'll look just like Saint Nick!"<br /><br />"All I need is a fall guy..."<br />The Bitch looked around.<br />But since fall guys are scarce, there was none to be found.<br />Did that stop the old Bitch...?<br />No! The Bitch simply said,<br />"If I can't find a fall guy, I'll make one instead!"<br />So she called her dog Alan. Then she took some red thread<br />And she tied a big title on top of his head.<br /><br />THEN<br />She acquired a plan<br />And some old empty sacks<br />On a ramshackle sleigh<br />And she hitched up her hacks.<br /><br />Then the Bitch said, "Giddyap!"<br />And the sleigh started down<br />Toward the homes where the Browns<br />Lay a-snooze in their town.<br /><br />All their windows were dark. Quiet snow filled the air.<br />All the Browns were all dreaming sweet dreams without care<br />When she came to the first house in the square.<br />"There is stop number one," The old Bitchy Claus hissed<br />And she climbed to the roof, evil plan in her fist.<br /><br />Then she slid down the chimney. A rather tight pinch.<br />But if Santa could do it, then so could the Bitch.<br />She got stuck only once, for a moment or two.<br />Then she stuck her head out of the fireplace flue<br />Where the in-district tuition all hung in a row.<br />"In-district tuition," she grinned, "is the first thing to go!"<br /><br />Then she slithered and slunk, with a smile most unpleasant,<br />Around the Board room, and she took every present!<br />Parking Lots! And Buildings! Professorships! Graduate gowns!<br />Libraries! Snack Bars! Book Stores! And Lawns!<br />And she stuffed them in bags. Then the Bitch, very nimbly,<br />Stuffed all the bags, one by one, up the chimney!<br /><br />Then she slunk to the tax rolls. She took the Browns' feast!<br />She increased the tax rate! She took the tamale-roast beast!<br />She cleaned out those tax rolls as quick as a flash.<br />Why, that Bitch even took thousands for a self-serving bash!<br /><br />Then she stuffed all the money up the chimney with glee.<br />"And NOW!" grinned the Bitch, "Iâ€™ll discredit trustees!"<br /><br />And the Bitch blamed trustees, and she started to shove<br />When she heard a small sound like the coo of a dove.<br />She turned around fast, trouble stared to brew!<br />Little Adela whose years on the board had been few.<br /><br />The Bitch had been caught by their little Brown daughter<br />Who'd got out of bed for a cup of cold water.<br />She stared at the Bitch and said, "Santy Claus, why,<br />"Why are you breaking our Partnership ? WHY?"<br /><br />But, you know, that old Bitch was so smart and so slick<br />She thought up a lie, and she thought it up quick!<br />"Why, my sweet little tot," the fake Santy Claus lied,<br />"There's a trustee or two that wonâ€™t vote on my side.<br />"So I'm taking it home to the Regents, my dear.<br />"I'll fix it up there. Then I'll bring it back here."<br /><br />And her fib fooled the board. Then she patted their heads<br />And she made up some bullshit and she sent them to bed.<br />And when Rene, Trey and Kiko went to bed with their cups,<br />SHE went to the chimney and stuffed the cash up!<br /><br />Then the last thing she took<br />Was the log for their fire.<br />Then she went up the chimney herself, the old liar.<br />On their rolls she left nothing but eleven for hire.<br /><br />And the one speck of cash<br />The she left in the house<br />Was a dime that was even too small for a mouse.<br /><br />Then<br />She did the same thing<br />To the other Brown's houses<br /><br />Leaving crumbs<br />Much too small<br />For the other Brown's mouses!<br /><br />Itâ€™s the time in the story, you were waiting for when<br />I dishonorably mention that putz, DP/M<br />That talentless hack that still darkens our door<br />For readers and notice he continues to whore<br />With cucuy uncounted he continues his edict<br />â€œIâ€™ve written this bullshit, so now you MUST read it!â€<br />We continue our story from here to the end<br />With no further mention of DP slash M<br /><br />It was quarter past dawn...<br />All the Browns, still a-bed<br />All the Browns, still a-snooze<br />When she packed up her sled,<br />Running the despicable game plan<br />That Wayne Moore had read.<br /><br />Packed it up with their presents! The ribbons! The wrappings!<br />The tags! And the tinsel! The trimmings! The trappings!<br /><br />Three thousand feet up! Up the side of Mount Crumpit,<br />She rode to the tiptop to dump it!<br />"The plan was so smart!" she was Bitch-ish-ly humming.<br />"They're finding out now that no TSCâ€™s is coming!<br />"They're just waking up! I know just what they'll do!<br />"Their mouths will hang open a minute or two<br />"The all the Browns down in Brownsville will all cry BOO-HOO!"<br /><br />"That's a noise," grinned the Bitch,<br />"That I simply must hear!"<br />So she paused. And the Bitch put a hand to her ear.<br />And she did hear a sound rising over the snow.<br />It started in low. Then it started to grow...<br /><br />But the sound wasn't sad!<br />Why, that sound sounded merry!<br />It couldn't be so!<br />But it WAS merry! VERY!<br /><br />She stared down at Brownsville!<br />The Bitch popped her eyes!<br />Then she shook!<br />What she saw was a shocking surprise!<br /><br />Every Brown down in Brown-ville, the tall and the small,<br />Was singing! Without any presents at all!<br />She HADN'T stopped TSC College from coming!<br />IT CAME!<br />Somehow or other, it came just the same!<br /><br />And the Bitch, with her Bitch-feet ice-cold in the snow,<br />Stood puzzling and puzzling: "How could it be so?<br />It came without Regents! Or Reba the Hag!<br />It came despite Putegnat's coauthored plan!<br />And she puzzled three hours, `till her puzzler was sore.<br />Then the Bitch thought of something she hadn't before!<br />"Maybe TSC College," she thought, "isn't something to whore."<br />"Maybe TSC College...perhaps...means a little bit more!"<br /><br />And what happened then...?<br />Well...in Brownsville they say<br />That the Bitch's small heart<br />Is what gave her away.<br />And when her evil plan had been posted one night,<br />The board of trustees took offense at her slight,<br />They brought all the terms of the contracts to light.<br />And they brought back the toys! And the food for the feast!<br />And she...<br /><br />...SHE HERSELF...!<br />The Bitch was carved up like a beast!<br /><br />Rot in Hell, Julie! It's over! Good Night, Puta<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7460924536583987444-854263468163530223?l=brownsvillenoise.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
