Honestly, I seldom raise my voice unless a family member is about to get hit by a car, but Juan Montoya's headline in El Rrun Rrun speaks differently:  THEY SCREAM. EVA SCREAMS. JIM SCREAMS. . . FOR ATTENTION

Actually, Juan is referencing a 1927 song my late father used to sing while taking us out for a ten cent ice cream cone after we'd endured a boring two hour church service.  

And, after over three quarters century of life, I don't need attention, much less to scream for it.

So, where is Montoya going with this?

Juan is a blogger-for-hire, an entrepreneur, who writes articles for money and TSC Board Chair Adela Garza has money burning a hole in her pocket.

This brings to mind another nursery rhyme; "One Potato, Two Potatoes," the first line of which is:

"One Potato, two potatoes, three potatoes, four"

Four is the magic number of votes Adela Garza needs to control the TSC Board of Trustees.

Longtime educators and board members Eva Alejandro and J.J. De Leon do not match Adela Garza's needs because they are not simply kids who will "do as they are told," but mature, accomplished folk.

So, Adela, in a pure power grab, has recruited much-less-experienced alternates to run against Alejandro and De Leon.

Where does the dapper Juan Montoya fit in?

He will likely be paid to write what Adela wants him to write.

Will the longtime blogger attack Eva Alejandro and J.J. De Leon?

We don't know.

Will Montoya promote those Adela has recruited to run against Alejandro and De Leon?

We don't know that either.

But, have some popcorn handy.

  1. Montoya started this feud first by placing the photo of Herrera with the new candidate.
    Next Jim Barton questioned this move.
    Then Jim Barton followed the story of the new candidate.
    Montoya was annoyed.
    Solution: let Eva Alejandro win this election.

    PS Montoya and Jim are friends of Brownsville.

  2. I've seen Juan downtown many times. He's never looked like that. Who dolled him up?
