Take Ron Wright, a candidate for City Council District 2 in San Antonio. Of all the places on earth to call a neighborhood meeting Ron called it at "Santa’s Place." Santa is not the guy from Christmas but it is a beer joint that many would like to disappear. I can’t figure out why Ron called this one at a local beer hall. Maybe he thought that the voters that showed up would get drunk enough to vote for him. Man Ron, what were you thinking about? Not award for Ron this time.

Then there was the dumb idea to fly jet fighter trainer planes over the King of Peace MLK March. Wow! Was that a bright idea or what? Imagine if someone decided to have a war in honor of Dr. King! I would not be surprised if some idiot tried. Someone may even come up with the bright idea of MLK 16 ounce beer! The bottle could even have a picture of Dr. King flashing a peace sign at a drunken crowd! I can’t understand why City Councilwoman Sheila McNeil went for that one.

What about the cop (Assistant Police Chief) at the motel? Let’s drop that one. What about Ruben "Bonita" Bonilla, a Mexican American, or maybe not, going along with an effort to stall the Voting Rights Act. Wow Ruben! I wonder how you got to be an elected official since minorities were excluded from such things before the Voting Rights Act? How about the "Brown Noser Award of the Year for Ruben Bonilla! I guess he just loves going along with his Republican friends, even if they are going to hell.

Who in their right mind would support a toll road? We are driving down the road one day and then all of a sudden there appears a booth and a cop-like employee at the helm. Drop your money in and pay up, or go the long way. Never mind that you have already paid for the road when you paid for your car registration. If one is built maybe we could all agree not to use it and there would be no funds to pay the person in the booth.

What about the quiet San Antonio City Council? Looks like all of them are being as quiet as possible so that they won’t mess up their chances to garner conservative votes. Art Hall is as quiet as a church mouse. Shhhh! We are making too much noise. I like the way politicians get real quiet when they are thinking about some other office. When city council members are quiet that means that city staffers are calling all of the shots. Real representation huh?

What about President Bush’s War in Iraq? There is a civil war in progress and still the president sends Americans to be killed in a failed foreign policy. "Stay the Course?" Not a good idea. How about the fascist pig city council in Hazleton, Pennsylvania that passed a city ordinance that would punish property owners for renting to undocumented immigrants? Then these idiots had the nerve to compare their fight over immigration to the Alamo. What the whacko mayor, Louis Barletta, of Hazleton is suggesting is that we are being over run by aliens from Mars. He forgot that American whites over ran the Native American population and pushed them west of the Mississippi. But that was in the past he will yell! Well, maybe the Alamo comparison is not such a bad idea since it was about creating a slave state and stealing Mexican land to do so. Barletta is an Italian name. Wonder how many Barletta’s were stopped from coming to America at Ellis Island. Mayor Barletta, you get the Fascist Pig Award!
