AMERIQUE:


A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR: It is the unspoken statistic, but it is as real as anything to do with the lingering U.S. war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. According to the military, 1,800 American servicemen have killed themselves since the initial invasion of Baghdad. That is in addition to the more than 4,000 who died in battle. This week, families of the soldiers who committed suicide asked President Barack Obama to change the government policy of not forwarding letters of appreciation to mothers and fathers of these servicemen. By week's end, the White House had reversed the policy and agreed that such letters are needed, as well... - Eduardo Paz-Martinez, Editor of The Tribune

In Amsterdam, Former Tribune Reporter Junior Bonner Buys European Clothes and Checks Out The Red Light District...

By JOE DeVOLA
Special to The Tribune

COMBES, Texas - Word comes that former Tribune reporter Junior Bonner has begun his investigation into the vicious murder of ex-colleague Ron Mexico in Amsterdam last July. The photograph shown above was handed-over to The Tribune by Bonner's former girlfriend, Sissy Estrada, who still resides in his mobile home here.

"It shows him wearing European clothes and walking away from a cheap Amsterdam floosie he likely sexed," Estrada said during an interview Sunday afternoon. "He says he's getting places with the investigation, but who really ever knows with Junior?"

Bonner was fired by Tribune Editor Patrick Alcatraz after Bonner confessed to taking free shrimp plates from a seafood mogul he'd befriended in Brownsville. Aggrieved, he left South Texas and announced he would fly to The Netherlands with the expressed purpose of solving Mexico's killing.

Ron Mexico, a reporter's reporter, was knifed and shot to death by wandering thugs while he moved across Amsterdam's fabled Red Light District. In fact, he had been living in a second-story flat with an unknown woman only blocks from the popular tourist attraction. Mexico also had been fired by The Tribune after violating the publication's No-Drinking-Whiskey-While-Covering-City-Hall policy.

"He was my friend and somebody has to bring his killers to justice," Bonner wrote in an Email to galpal Estrada. "I'm on the hunt, honey. And I'll get those boys, 'cause what they did and how they did it pisses me off. You know Ol' Junior. He ain't taking this sittin' down. I miss you, Sissy, and I hope you're being faithful to your cowboy..."

Tribune Editor Patrick Alcatraz, visiting the shorts-clad Sissy Estrada while this reporter interviewed her, said: "Bonner's a good, hard-nosed, no-nonsense reporter who blew it with the seafood plates, but he'll get his information before this story's over. Ron Mexico did not have a better friend on staff."

Asked about her relationship with Junior Bonner, Estrada said, "Long-distance relationships are hard on me. You know what they say...'Out of sight; out of mind,' so who knows? Maybe I'll just have to move on, huh?"

As this reporter departed her doublewide mobile home set between two scraggly mesquite trees, Alcatraz was on the couch, taking his harness boots off...

I don't think Sissy Estrada knows the meaning of the word "faithful."
I bet Jr. Bonner gets the same, that Ron Mexico got.
Something is wrong with the Tribune, maybe we ought to call Trajedy. I bet Jr. Doesn't survive Amsterdam. He will get Whacked, and that will be the end of the cowpoke from Colorado.
Sorry didn't mean to use Sister Sara Lee words. "whacked"

Patrick, you ungrateful wretch. Sister Sara extended the paddle of forgiveness to you and was severely punished for it, and you choose instead to once again, follow the path most travelled, and pick up the threads of someone else's life. It seems like just yesterday you were waiting on the sand, ready to pledge to have and to hold, and now you're dancing up to the double-wide, shucking those harness boots as fast as you can. Did you even take the time to pour the sand out of those boots? And Sissy's ability to erase former lovers from her mind the further in physical distance they travel might start immediately after withdrawal so be ready to walk those boots on out of there. M

SESSI & ANONYMOUS M:...You two know nothing about pain borne of untimely death. Elaine's murder sucked something precious out of me, so the Sissy adventure looms more as therapy than real love. As for the paddling you believe I so desperately need, well, uh, no. You can kiss me until my lips are red with love, but paddling me is out of the question. Would you wish me to invite you into the shower and then not offer you a towel. There's something sexy about watching a woman dry on her own, standing naked in the shower until all water and wetness drips away... - Editor

Anony M, I think Sister Lee's intentions were good. But paddling someone 3 times per day for a week, sounds like cruel and unusual punishment.
I am sure Sister Lee meant well, but the editor of this blog, is a skirt chaser, well so is every writer associated with the Tribune.
Mr. Alcatraz moves around from women to women without a concious. And you are right, he was planning a wedding with Benitez. Now is making moves if he isn't already sleeping in the double wide, formerly owned by Jr. Bonner.
Maybe, Sissy Estrada needs to spend some time with Sister Sara.
I will guarrantee you one thing, Sissy won't be wearing short, shorts in the presence of Sister Sara, maybe a burqa, but no shorts darling.
Let me understand this right, Sissy is a therapeutic adventure? Lust you mean, maybe the crazy num wasn't all that crazy after all.

SESSI:...I'll chime in here on the point you aim my way. Are you telling me that every male/female flirtation you have known has been true love? If only! No, the history of Mankind is strewn with couplings that were as meaningless as lemonade is to a drunk. Sissy isn't Miss Right; she's Miss Right Now...and there's not a damned thing wrong with that. As the song says, sweetheart: "I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight"... - Editor

Yes, dear young Patrick, I tend to agree with Sessi. If Jr. Bonner does get his little behind "whacked", we'd prefer not to know. Now, on such a beautiful day as today, there is nothing better for me to go and do than to walk a few miles. On my way.

I think that is Jr Bonner walking on that hallway, he looks lanky, and has droopy shoulders.
Poor JR. if he only knew what his former friend is doing. As they say in Spanish,(Poniendole los cuernos)

Patrick Alcatraz said...

Sessi:...Of course, that's Junior. That walk is all cowboy, no matter the ritzy rags he's wearing. Junior Bonner was first and foremost a great actor. He very easily could play any part, even that of a cowboy doing investigative work in Amsterdam... - Editor

I am speechless, women have taken over, Eliot, drowned, and body not recovered yet.
Alcatraz playing footsies with his former friends girlfriend, sister Sara Lee, lost her priviliges, for trying to help Alcatraz, Now Ranna Odennel living the Tribune, Jr. Bonner visiting prostitutes in a foreign country, Ron Mexico Jr. in a Jail in Panama, Juan Jones, buried in league texas after getting whipped in Matamoros red light district. I am playing speechless.
Sister Sara Lee, if you can drop us a note do so, the Tribune has gone bananas. They need help, bad, real bad, Alcatraz, and his philandering has destroyed this very good blog.

JR.Walker, Sister Sara Lee, is banned from the blog, by the Mother Superior. I hear through grape vine that the Monestary, that is one side of Ft. Stockton is an old stock ade, a former Military Jail.
Now houses the hard core devoted nuns, and provides counceling to troubled adults as well as teen agers.
There also rumors, whips similiared to bondage items were found on some of the nuns, dorms.
Sister Sara Lee, was found with some magazines. I am not sure, but a good friend sends word out. Sister Angie Robleis is counecling Sister Sara Lee.

Over plates of Shrimp, Jr. lost it all, his girlfriend, although, I think Alcatraz was already making moves on the lovely Sissy Estrada.
Now he visits Prostis at Amstardam red light district. From the top of the world to the bottom. Jr. give up and return to the lovely Valley. There are plenty of good looking women here in the Valley.
