| Zeke Silva |
Brownsville's "Mr. Coffee," the hot-tempered, gravelly-voiced trucker politico, Zeke Silva, jumped on my case the other day, repeatedly calling me "old," of all things.
Well, before I could tell the long distance hauler that "75 is the new 55" he'd skittishly erased all our conversations, forcing me to search the temporal lobe of my feeble, aging brain to reconstruct the exchanges.
Words are not Zeke's game and he tends to grind the gears as he attempts to shift from thought to thought, so let's simply put all the parts on the shop table.
The church-going Silva has a huge burr up his butt with respect to Jessica Tetreau, the outgoing District 2 city commissioner with 12 years of service and one of several losers in the recent mayor's race.
Silva's obsession with the blondish former commissioner stems from his own attempt to run for that very same office 12 years ago, an attempt that was stymied, stifled and squelched by his criminal history said to be DWI's charged as felonies.
The replacement vehicle, selected by Zeke's campaign manager Craig Grove, to defeat the vitriolic Charlie Atkinson, was none other than Jessica Tetreau.
Now, one of Atkinson's old neighbors during that campaign told me he'd rather "vote for a mesquite tree" than Atkinson, so Tetreau's "historic" write-in campaign had, in a way, been jump-started by Atkinson himself.
Had Zeke qualified to run and serve, he'd have likely been the one just finishing 12 years as District 2 commissioner, but, as some say, "the Lord works in mysterious ways."
But, for the record, the Holy Bible, the book on Zeke's night stand and the seat of his big rig, warns against jealousy and envy.
Proverbs 14:30 from the Good Book, King James Version reads: "A sound heart is the life of the flesh, but envy the rottenness of the bones."
Yes, Zeke. Jealousy and envy can destroy a person, eat them up as it were.
As a friend, albeit an "old" one, I hope you get this self-destroying, engine-ruining trait under control.
Oh yes, one more thing!
You addressed me as an "athiest."
That's not really true.
I've frequently said that I don't know enough to say there is no God or even that there is a God.
Obviously, I've not been in every nook and cranny of the universe.
For years I've referred to myself as a "backsliding agnostic," that is a person who isn't certain on this subject.
While I see order and design in the universe, I also see tsunami waves, repeating the same patterns over centuries, killing humans, male and female, again and again.
A parent, who would sit idly by while their sons and daughters underwent such a death, without attempting to save them or, at least warn them, would be guilty of child endangerment at the least and murder at the most.
I hold the God of the universe to a similar standard.
Zeke is a piece of Sh*t, plain and simple, no other way of saying it, the guy thinks he's much more important that he really is, an investigation needs to be opened up on how he has gotten away with 4 DWI's, is it because he claims to be best friends with Saenz, the weak and most bias DA the county has ever seen to date? if that's the case i would like to report the DA for letting this crook stay on the streets.
ReplyDeleteSilva is a man child who cannot control his temper or his drink.
