| Jerry "Pancho" McHale |
Well, boys and girls, it's been six years now since the quotiferous* Brownsville blogfather, Jerry McHale, captivated his last ESL class at Brownsville's notorious ISD, but his beat moves on.
These days the progenitor of the Brownsville blogosphere writes captivating, thought-provoking headlines over campaign posters, republishes the offerings of lesser bloggers and occasionally digs into his own extensive archives for "blasts from the past."
A future biographer could conclude McHale has mellowed, now seeing a tiny bit of humanity in politicos he once eviscerated, but, a sports analogy might be more accurate, that, like Neon Deion in his heyday, he's actually reversed field.

Jerry's softer side was on display recently with his kind hasta luego to father and son retirees Eddie, Jr. and Eddie III Lucio:
"We wish them success in their private lives. We may have disagreed with them and they may have disappointed us, but we have always considered the father and son good people."
Jerry knows full well that the Lucios have milked all four teats on the Brownsville and Cameron County cow's udder dry, but is simply mirroring the sentiment of Saint Paul in his epistle to Rome:
"For the one who dies has been acquitted of his sins."
Speaking of Catholicism, Mr. McHale recently described me as an acolyte or assistant in the celebration of the mass, but I yield that honor to someone considerably more qualified; Roman Perez.
I'm neither Catholic nor religious and don't possess a suitable candlestick.
One wonders what might be on the holy horizon for the blogfather; nominating Ernie Hernandez for sainthood?
While my blogging tenure will likely end someday soon, without goodbye or whimper, just a certain abruptness, McHale's must continue as the founder of the Times of Brownsville, El Rocinante and the McHale Report is a necessary check and balance to B'ville's survival and begrudging thrust forward.
Usque ad mortem Brother McHale! Usque ad mortem
