Calderon: Protect our safety valve

Mexican President Calderon is upset with Arizona for refusing to be Old Mexico’s political safety valve and continue accepting illegal immigrants. Why, if this refusal catches on Mexico’s oligarchy might have to stave off revolution by actually creating new jobs for its own people.

Which would cut into the economic status quo enjoyed by Calderon and his cronies. So much easier to encourage poor Mexicans to go north and work for the gringos. And wax indignant at any threat to the goverment’s favored practice, i.e. screw the gringos. And, of course, his fellow Mexicans.

Guy Town

In Matamoras and other Mexican border towns, the legal bordello is called "Boy’s Town." In Austin, beginning about a hundred and thirty years ago and extending into the teens of the 20th century when it was outlawed, the red light district was called "Guy Town." The funny part is that its remains were only finally explored by private archeologists a few years ago, right before Austin built its new downtown city hall, more or less on the same spot. So you could say that today’s elected whores are approriately located.

Dean’s course

Looks like Old Mexico is going to get the schnitz (with Cancun turned into Rangoon), tomorrow through Thursday. Hopefully, after crossing the Yucatan’s jungled, hilly waist, however, Dean will be a shadow of its former self. At least the cenotes will get recharged.
