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.

Tribune Religion Writer Rannah O'Donnell Splits...Says She's Had It With Editor Patrick Alcatraz...

By JOE DeVOLA
Special to The Tribune

SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, Texas - In any other nacho-fueled tale of wheelhouse romance, the lovely Rannah O'Donnell would have been the gal the playboy gets at the end of the flick. Not in this moving cantina brawl pushed onward by border lust and disgust. O'Donnell, shown above as she sunned on the beach here this afternoon, is leaving town.

Why?

"It appears my dear Patrick has again chosen another woman over me, and a woman can only take two of those in one lifetime," she said, referring to on & off boyfriend Tribune Editor Patrick Alcatraz and his ongoing flirtation with former Tribune writer Junior Bonner's galpal - the intoxicating Sissy Estrada.

O'Donnell, The Tribune's religion writer for a portion of this summer, says she is moving to New York City, where she will work free-lance Journalism for a group of Middle East newspapers. "I'm not bitter at all," she said twice. "I'm just not the one for him. Too bad. But his eyes can only look at her..."

Alcatraz declined to comment on O'Donnell's surprise decision. It was less than two months ago that he chose former Tribune writer Ron Mexico's widow - the concupiscible Elaine Benitez - as his main squeeze. The two were minutes from marrying when Mexico's son shot and killed the bride at the beginning of the beach-front ceremony in Benitez's home country of Panama.

Late this afternoon, Alcatraz called this reporter to say: "That is one fine picture of Rannah. Print me a copy, willya?"

That Ranna, looked pretty good on a burqua, looks better now on a bikini.
She won't have any problems with me, I am prepared to turn over my disability check, $508,00 big ones for a evening of fun and games. Ranna, you are the girl of my dreams. You lovely thing.
