  1. Jim, the music is okay, and the dancer looked good, but the lighting is terrible, is it true Junior Bonner, wanted a dance with a belly Dancer???

  2. Ben turned the house lights down, also used an insense machine, creating some haze. Bonner is a loose cannon.

  3. Are the Valley Dancer's local, I guess they are okay.
    What Bonner, trying to Belly dance?? He might have had a Belly ache. He is way to old.

  4. Jim: This looks like one bad ass good time. Still haven't made it to the Crescent Moon but don't be surprised to see me there soon. Thanks for the post. Ben

  5. Anon, Bonner was asked to leave the Crescent Moon Bar, face it Junior, drinks under trees, and on street corners. McHale probably helps him out, he is always broke. There are no horses to tame in the Valley.

  6. Mr. Cheme, if Bonner is a journalist, he is probably broke. Journalist don't make any money, that is why they drink Draft beer.
    And they drive old beat up junkers and eat at taquerias.
    It is a hard life. Didn't you see the tie, Bonner was wearing when Jimmy Barton interviewed him. He pick it up, from a trash can behind a ropa usada store.

  7. Mr. Cuerbo, you also see journalist at campaign functions, eating free meals all the time. Agree, LaCantrelle, from Jamaica will soon be eating at cheap greasy taquerias, or bumming free draft beers.
    Bonner, already does it.
    Trenchtown Jamaica, where in hell is that at?

  8. For a being a journalist, Bonner writes worst than my daughter, she is in the third grade. He wrote a rebuttal on the Paz file blog.

  9. I just can get over it, Bonner, trying to Belly dance. Cresecent Moon, to classy for Junior and Comapany.

  10. Jimmy, is Brownsville trying to compete with McAllen's entertaiment district?? I know, McHale is promoting the heck out of Brownsville on his blog.

    McAllen can't compare to Brownsville in terms of architecture and history, but has more competent leaders. To be honest, they've done more with less.

    That is why Mchale was named Mr. Amigo 2012 by this blog, although that didn't set well with a person from an historically-entrenched family in Brownsville.

    I thought she got her degree from St. John's University. Yes, cucuy, we know it is you anoning in. Putz.

  14. Anon,(St Johns University), Bonner writes worse than Tony Chapa. And that my man is about as lousy as anyone writes.
    The editor of the Paz-files is protecting Bonner for some unknown reason.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Jimmy, you are right Brownsville has so many old buildings, the problem I see is that they don't upgrade them. They just let them sit there and rut away. Browntown should be assisting the property owner with sometype of finacial aid, and maintain the Architecture.

    Quit talking to yourself in the 3rd person. Hack. We know who you are and it's not Tony Chapa. We are not amused by your kindergarten antics.

  17. I'm through with Bonner. You help a guy get a Texas I.D., get housing, get into adult day care but he steals from you. The name Bonner will never be created by my typing fingers again.

  18. Let me go back on my word just a bit. My Bonner is real. Duardo's "Bonner" is some fanciful, photoshopped bodybuilder from his own repressed gay lusting imagination. Everyone knows 90% of serious, narcissistic bodybuilders are gay. Duardo also is totally out-of-touch with the economics of Combes, TX. In Austin or North Texas or Oklahoma it's a wornout old cliche to describe poor rednecks as living in doublewides. Remember Austin has a minimum wage of eleven big ones an hour. In Combes only the mayor or a cartel member would live in a doublewide. I'm not criticizing, just explaining the difference in perspective from an elitist, highbrow blogger from Austin and a real person from south Texas.

  19. Real journalists would not be wasting their time and compromising their credibility by even mentioning Bonner, Durado or McHale. They will all come back to haunt you.
    Stick to reporting reality, Mr. Jim.

  20. Jim, we stand with your Bonner character, the Editor of the Paz files, protects Jr. for various reason, sooner or later things will come out and Paz-Martinez will be exposed.

  21. The only one laughing in all this is Paz-Martinez. How anyone can read Junior Bonner and not know it's just a bit is wild. Barton now says he has his own Bonner. that's even funnier. Get a life. It's entertainment, vatos!

    Not exactly. Duardo takes himself more seriously than we do at "Mean Mister Brownsville." We are a rudimentary Google blog with amateurish writing, pics and format. Duardo, on the other hand, is a true journalist with an extensive, verifiable resume'.

    But, the accusation that we do not laugh is unsupportable. We laugh long and hard, usually at ourselves.

  24. IS there really a Jim Barton? The photo looks like a guy I saw in Oklahoma soon after the bombing of the federal courthouse. Barton? Naaaaaah, there is no Barton, either.

  25. A Harlingen Blog has on it's side bar, the Bonner character was never for real, I swear, it is getting harder to beleive these blogs, well with one exception, Jerry Deal's blog, deals in facts, unlike some of these journalist, who I think have a few screws missing.
    Thanks Jimmy, for taking the mask of some of these characters.

  27. I wonder how many of the people who swear Bonner eats at a local rest. are going to feel after they find out, they were played by an out of town blog.
    Good work, continue with real issues Jimmy.

  28. "IS there really a Jim Barton? The photo looks like a guy I saw in Oklahoma soon after the bombing of the federal courthouse. Barton? Naaaaaah, there is no Barton, either."

    Transparently Duardo. One giveaway is the Oklahoma reference. No one is Brownsville is aware of Oklahoma. The anglo name is the other obvious Duardoism. But, it's no sin to be predictable. Someone mentioned Jerry Deal. With Deal and Duardo you simply flip a coin. Both are strong Harlingen style, straightforward journalists. I wanted to say "both are the real deal" but that's already been said.

  29. Jim, why do you call Duardo a "straightforward journalist?"

    ReplyDelete
  30. Jerry Deal is a straight forward journalist. He has a list of followers, no non-sense stuff.
    Usually local stuff, politics, current events, has many female bloggers, infact, most of the bloggers are women.

  31. "Jim, why do you call Duardo a "straightforward journalist?"'

    Harlingen has a certain sterility. It's sort of reflected in their bloggers. Deal, Duardo and Chapa strike me as triplets in terms of creativity. They are more like Pearl Light, less like Negra Modelo. I trust all of them to report the score correctly, but I'm not sure I want to read their account of the game.

    Does that make any sense?

    Jim

  32. Does Vic Morrow really exist? I thought this guy passed away a long time ago, he was an actor. Oh no, not another goofy Junior Bonner.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Jim, each blog has it's followers. Jerry Deal has quiet a bit of men and women expressing their views, Chapa is a hatred oriented blog, doesn't like people who oppose his point of views, which are wrong most of the time.
    Jerry Deal does more articles fashioned over editorials.
    Duardo Paz-Martinez is a good writer, no one disputes his abilities, it's just hard to know when he is writing serious opinions or when he is playing mind games.

    Fair analysis.

    It does not make a lick of sense, Jim. Little Eddie uses names of actors and aliases on his blog to cover his warped sense of Harlingen news. How could use the adjective "straightforward" to describe what he does. It's an insult to the likes of Laura Martinez.

    I can see that. "Straightforward" was not meant as a compliment. I was actually kidding Duardo by linking him with Deal and Chapa who are totally lame. Yes, Duardo has some creativity. Laura is also a capable reporter, but the Brownsville Herald does very little real reporting anymore. One serious reporter on a bicycle could cover more stories in a day than the Herald does in a year.

  37. Jimmy, I was at a local eating restaraunt in Harlingen yesterday about 9:30 saw three guys talking to some tall skinney guy who dresses western style. Goofy looking man, who wears sunglasses.
    I didn't hear what his name was, but one of the men said, he wasn't the character everyone swears he was.
    It was not the Bonner character.
    The made up character everyone is saying was invented by someone with a twisted mind.
    LaCantrelle Jefferson from Jamaica, ha, I bet that is another fake character.
    Don't know about some blogs, Jimmy, the belly dancers are at least real.

  38. (I was actually kidding Duardo by linking him with Deal and Chapa who are totally lame.)

    What you are saying is that Jerry Deal who reports things and lives in Harlingen is "totally lame" but a guy who lives in Fort Worth or Austin "covering" news of the valley with fake reporters is not totally lame? You are, afterall, seperating Little Eddie from the other two valleyites. The Brownsville Herald may not live up to your high journalistic standards of covering news anymore, but they are real people and do cover Brownsville unlike Little Eddie who you obviously have a perverse admiration for. "Perverse" was not meant as a sexual reference.

    Thanks. Is this Steve? Let me clarify. Those who write for The Herald are professionals. I am not. Certainly some, like Emma and you can do any type of in depth, investigative reporting they are allowed to do. It's obvious someone, most likely the paper's editor is stifling coverage.

    The BH watched for a decade as Juliet Garcia tried to capture nearly 200 million in assets from TSC, leaving B'ville taxpayers stuck with the bill. Only very recently has the Herald even hinted at any of this. There are a number of similar stories that have broken in BLR, BV and El Rrun Rrun with no mention in the BH.

    So, I'm not implying somehow that BH reporters are not capable, just that they are stymied, stifled and squelched.

    I don't know much about Duardo or "Little Eddie" as you refer to him, but he does seem to have some creativity, the other two you mention, not so much. As for who is real, "let the reader use discernment."

  40. Jim, this is just your usual lackluster Brownsville blogging crowd getting its kick anonymously. I have my detractors in your hometown, all border rats and dickless urchins from way back. They no longer bother me. I trust this tit-for-tat between you and Junior Bonner brought some entertainment to your readers. Without the government cheese deliveries, they are so needy. Some even resort to drinking and getting jailes. Lord knows, I move from real news to real laughs, oblivious to your local carpers. That's all. Anyone who reads my blog and thinks they'll get educated on national politics or somesuch trendy issue better round it out with our sources. That, of course, goes for all blogs, most of which offer wildly-topical material that passes for news & Info. I'm just having a real good time, as the TV commercial waxes. Hope all is well in town. Hell-o to my all friends. Best, /DP-M
