Editor-In-Chief
HARLINGEN, Texas - Perhaps it's not the best of times to use football analogies around here now that the vaunted Harlingen Cardinals have been sent packing by yet another San Antonio high school football squad, but Blogger Jerry Deal has known what it feels like to dive head-first into the end zone, also known journalistically around here as La Zona Final.
"Jerry Deal may be an old coot," said one resident of this much-whipped town. "He may be from another era or planet or whatever, but there are days when he's all we got. Without Deal, there is no independent reporting."
We firmly believe that Deal fumbled the ball in that sad episode to do with his padding his own reader comments, but we also must note that he recovered deftly and kept setting sail for that fabled Zona Final. He's up to the job of being, at the very least, a dependable Harlingen news source, and, come Hell or High Water, he'll muster-up for the daily fray. Plus, really, we cannot imagine goofy minor league baseball in the RGVofTexas without Mssr. Deal. In that world, it could be said that he occasionally strikes out, but, all in all, the bizarre Jose Canseco summer freak show aside, Deal keeps hacking away at all offerings...

Good choice, Mr. Editor, good choice, Jerry is okay, kind of crazy, but okay.
Mr. Editor, so when are you going to have the less insignificant for the year 2010.
I have three for your consideration: They are:
Tony chupacabra Chapo owner of a rag-line blog no one reads anymore.
Sofia Benavides, County Commissioner Precinct 2 Cameron County. She can't read, can't write, can't speak, and when she does speak, she doesn't know the meaning of the words. Useless, worthless, a dud.
Edna Tamayo, there are no word to discribe her. Has the worst roads in Northern Cameron County. What a waste of tax payers money. Has a horrible squeaky voice, annoying, would be an understatement.
I nominate Roger Ortiz for messing up the elections of the county judge. He sure has made a difference. Or how about el Indio, Gilberto Hinojosa, or as they call him at the coffee shops el bigoton.
Mr. Editor, how about Juan Montoya, he is making a difference in the slammer, remember he exposed Ruben Pena. Just a thought, or observation.
ANONYMOUSES:...We tend to stick with the positive. Writing about some people is both a royal waste of time and a bad policy. We'd rather they suffer their shame and disgrace alone, without salve from our words. In other words, let them eat crow... - Editor
Common Patrick, it was a suggestion from some of your loyal readers, they want to hear the good, the bad, and what is not on the menu, damn, I am beginning to sound like the jerk on Channel 4. LOL
Alcatraz, you have been reading too much myharlingennews. That man with the cap and cigar is not Jerry Deal.
Weighs about 90 lbs sop in wet, Deal is skinny as hell, wears un-ironed clothing. Walk around with a pad and pen or pencil. And at city commission meetings, sits near Yolanda Shoefit. Her real name is Yolanda Coronado. Short, overweight, with quiet a bit of make up, kind of melodramatic, when she speaks to the commission.
Anyway, get a hold of Deal, and let him send you a real picture, with a pitcher of beer at Medussa's. That would be more appropriate.. (Just thought you might want to know. (The next time you are at las casuelas, try the Machacado with egg.)
