MIAMI - After making a few calls to friends at The Saginaw News, where he covered the Taco Beat, Blogger Juan Montoya reportedly landed a segment on a Spanish show featuring the man in the photo above. Who is that man? Don Francisco - an icon in the Hispanic community.
What Montoya, operator of the Blog ElRrunRrun.com, will say is anybody's guess, but sources tell us he will again blast DP-M, the leader of this Internet outlet. "He's sticking to his Mexican roots, playing the race card," said a source familiar with Montoya's style. "DP-M would never watch that show, of course. Montoya is hoping to push Hispanics away from DP-M, something Montoya says will hurt this Blog's readership (Hell, I'm laughing as I write that bullshit, but...).
Anyway, a bit of background on the show in question: If you’re a Latino/a, and you have no notion of who “Don Francisco” is, then my guess is that you’re not truly from Latin American ancestry. Don Francisco is a legend. He has been the host of the TV show “Sábado Gigante”since God-knows-when (or, more accurately, since 1962, says Wikipedia).
According to sources who swore us to secrecy, Montoya will appear wearing a used off-black Charro outfit, complete with a bullet belt he will say was once worn by the Border bandido Juan Cortina. "Montoya is All-Mexican-All-The-Time," said a resident of his hometown in Texas. "He was a proud man as a Latino reporter, forever noseying out stories to do with the horrible life Latinos live in this country. DP-M, on the other hand, only wanted to have fun, although his work was always appreciated by his senior editors, some of whom wrote glowing letters about his reporting. Juan lists letters from the editors of The Brownsville Herald and The Saginaw News; DP-M has the same from The Associated Press, The Houston Post, The Boston Globe and The New York Post, not that he cares anymore."
Montoya's new crusade is born from a single question he was asked weeks ago by this Blog, one to do with his mysterious relationship with Brownsville politician Ernie Hernandez. Since then, Montoya has stewed and then agonized and then exploded with a tapeworm of street nonsense, at all times evading the question he still hates.
"I'm amused, absolutely," said DP-M via cellphone from the road. "I am convinced the truth ultimately will come out. That's the nature of secrets. Someone will feel the heat or shame and blurt it out. It may or may not be Montoya. It could be anyone in Brownsville. This Blog is readying a $1,000 reward to anyone who comes forward with serious, incontrovertible info related to our questions."
Here, in Miami, a spokeswoman for The Don Francisco Show expressed surprise when asked if Montoya would blast DP-M. "We thought he was coming to do a version of some border drug cartel corrido," she said, frowning....

Funny, never thought of dp-m as another blog depicts him. Read one of his books, (dp-ms) not that it matters because only both of the parties knows what is motivating the war of words. But there is room both for blogs, I mean, when el rocinante survives, and is nothing but a tool for soft porn.
The Tribune an el rrun, are way above the ladder, chill out, a cold glass of wine,or whiskey, and a good talk and back to being friends.
ANON: The difference between DP-M and Juan Montoya are many. He has his fans and we have our detractors. Our detractors naturally are his fans. No mystery. Big deal. We're not going away. Know this - Montoya owes the community answers to his "positioning" in politics, some of which he howls at when he is a contributor to the mess. Still, it's hard to tell the lower classes how to think isn't it? In the malleable, under-achieving Montoya, they have one of their own. DP-M rides a state of grace... - Editor
I agree with Annon, there is no need to get so personal, your blog as is MR. Montaoya are very good informative bloggs, both of the bloggs identify local issues.
The writers of both bloggs are well above, brownsville voice, el chisme, edinburgh politics, myharlingennews, and el rocinante which is pure Porno.
Hispanics need to get along, I say, like annon one, a nigth in a nice bar, air differences out, and lets work together for one cause.
ANON: You should know that DP-M is an easy-going guy. He generally makes his case and allows for a response. As you have noticed, we take-on criticism lodged against us and are always willing to answer your questions. Juan Montoya is smoke & mirrors with that Blog of his. It is offerred as something readers can bank on, yet it carries too many secrets to be trusted. We say: be HONEST with readers about your motives, your allegiances. We have said it before, as well: Juan Montoya is a skilled writer who should be doing positive work for the community, not just this or that politician... - Editor
