Sunland Park Hold Open Audition for Mayor's Post

I didn't get around to writing this yesterday so I'm playing a little catch-up.

So let me get this straight, Sunland Park plucked some vato out of the audience to be the next Mayor? Are you kidding me? Please tell me this is their idea of a joke.

I know, I know, we are all supposed to be feeling sorry for the simpletons in Sunland Park that voted all these corrupt mo-fo's in office but I think that is a steaming load of elephant dung.

I don't feel sorry for people that don't vote. When you don't vote, you deserve what happens to you. Does it suck that most of them are poor and raza? You're damn right! But is there a better argument for political involvement than Sunland Park?

They can either throw up their hands and say screw it or they can use this embarrassment that has actually made El Paso look like a hot-bed of honest leadership to turn a new page in Sunland Park. Apparently they chose the former.

So some guy shows up with a resume in hand and just like that...he's the new Mayor.

The El Paso Symphony Orchestra is looking for a new conductor. They apparently are putting more effort in to vetting who is going to lead their hoity-toity group of musicians than Sunland Park is doing to pick a Mayor?

If I'm not mistaken, I think you have to at least go through an interview to work at McDonald's. Which is another thing, the guy is young enough to still be working at McDonald's!

Hopefully he works out as their Mayor and if he does, I'll be the first to point it out. But Sunland Park should be skeptical. They need a healthy dose of skepticism over there for a while.

And in their defense, they really didn't have a lot of other options. Its either the guy that won the election but keeps getting more and more indictments coming out against him that I thought he was Rod Blogoyevich, or the guy that was caught with a stripper, who had a crappy performance on ABC 7 Xtra over the weekend.

People of Sunland Park. Get involved with your government. You are the people that can fix what is broken. You guys could use a few good ankle biters to keep people honest over there.

Don't make me send Mike Rooney, Lisa Turner, and Carl Starr over there to channel the spirit of the Ray Gilbert because so help me, I will!
