Person of the Year

His participation in taking bribes from local businesses was surprising to say the least. Corruption was thriving in Laredo and it led all the way to the top. But the story doesn't end there.
Dovalina apparently timed his resignation just right in order to cash in on his pension and accumulated leave time. The latter is valued at more than $86,000. A career of public service undone by greed.
Shame and remorse cannot apply in his case. The chief could've attempted to make amends with the community by coming clean and forgoing his pension. But not only did he choose to betray the public's trust, he then decides to flip us off all the way to the bank.
He has added to Laredo's storied notoriety. His actions, for better or for worse, will bring about far-reaching change in local policy - at least, I hope.
Congratulations Chief Dovalina; You are La Sanbe's Person of the Year.

Paint the town red
Ms. Buckley thinks Laredo really leans Republican:
I don't think Karl Rove's "math" is panning out. And besides, do you really want to be associated with the party of Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh?
"We'd have much more credibility as a city if we were voting Republican. The rest of the country is voting Republican, so what's going on?"

Slow day
Apparently there isn't much going on in the world, except for a tiger that got loose and killed somebody.
Even Nancy Grace's stand-in kept us abreast of the cat story.

You'll have to cough up five more bucks at your local strip club. It's either that or bathroom stall tapping.

Support Noriega
And I'm not talking about the former newsman.
This other Noriega is going up against Cornyn.

Could it be?
This project might take our minds off of all the crap that is going on with local officials.
Then again, its completion might be timed to coincide with upcoming elections.

Elp Wanted
It's hectic out there. "Wal-Mar" is one place that you especially want to avoid. Get out there early 'fore two' avoid the crowds.
What will we tell our children?
Having sex with an underaged student might get you sent to jail, as in the case of Genarlow Wilson.
But if you knock up Britney's sister , your name will go up in lights, or in the pages of widely-read tabloids.
Statutory rape laws should be brought up in the next DA's debate, to break the monotony.

And by D, I mean divorced. The "magician's assistant" line made me laugh for some reason.

10 shopping days left...
Piper Maru here...checking in on La Sanbe...By the way, great job Mr. Q.
I was asked today if I was done with my Christmas shopping. Truth is I haven't even started. Is that so wrong? I want to take it easy and enjoy the holiday time, since it flies by. And although I enjoy giving presents that someone else will enjoy, I don't think its necessary for shopping to consume my December schedule, when its not my thing the rest of the year. Like Charlie Brown says (paraphrasing): "Christmas is a big commercial racket...I can't stand it!" I just know I want to do something different this year. We'll see. Happy Holidays.

I'm cancelling my subscription to Rolling Stone. Not just for the fact that I'm running out of space, but because Rush got dissed again.

Happy Bush v. Gore Day
Ongoing saga
LMT, May 17, 2007
The Geo Group came to Laredo on Wednesday bearing cash for both the City of Laredo and Webb County.
LMT, November 14, 2007
Webb County Commissioners Court unanimously voted Tuesday against accepting a $250,000 donation from Geo Group.
LMT, December 11, 2007
The meeting bore witness to more than half a dozen citizens' impassioned speeches in which they told the court they are adamantly against the company with an alleged history of physical and sexual abuse setting up shop in Webb County.

Don't eyeball me


Mr. Valdez said that the PA system is utilized to warn staff when he sets foot at Christen Middle School. Most of the board had a good chuckle after that little anecdote.
Please, a little more respect for our campus staff gentlemen and gentlewomen.
Star?
He's no star, he's Montel Williams. And he should stop having Sylvia Brown on every week. I wouldn't trust her any more than I could throw her.
