Menudazo Time!

Sometimes candidates do things that make you shake your head. And sometimes candidates need to be saved from themselves. No, I'm not talking about David Saucedo. Hell I think this stunt would even make him blush.

In a campaign event that harkens back to the old pachangas that have thankfully gone away, Dori Fenenbock is having a Menudazo this weekend and I was invited!

I feel special because apparently the invite was block walked to voters in the lower valley because I came home to a door hanger and an invitation to the event.

And we all know Mexicans in the lower valley like the words "free" and "menudo", amirite?

There is apparently no end to the amount of pandering Dori will do to get a vote. Its embarrassing at this point. Seriously, are there no Latinos in the decision-making huddle that stood up and said, ya know this might not be such a good idea for a rich white lady from the westside to be dangling free menudo to lower valley raza. It might be a little offensive and a tad condescending.

Apparently not.

Now calm down white people - I'm not saying you guys can't eat menudo. I know damn well that there are a lot of you reading this that love menudo. Hell I've eaten menudo with some of you. I like to think its our gift to the world.

But its seriously the ultimate act of pandering. I don't believe for one second that Fenenbock is a regular consumer of our people's weekend morning staple and cure for la cruda. Mostly because of, well, la pata.  

Whoever the Latino is that is in her huddle that didn't speak up to say it was a bad idea, should at the very least, speak up and let Dori know that menudo can be 100% beef, but it very often has pork. I mean, my mom only used pork for la pata.

I joked on social media that I thought Dori might show up to the Feast of the Virgen de Guadalupe at the mural on Alameda and Zaragoza dressed as a matachin and serving champurrado last month.

I think that might still be a stretch, but I see a folklorico dress with two crossed ammo bandoliers across her neck and a shotgun while riding a horse as a very real possibility.

Remember, this is the same lady who is still bragging on her website about defeating Latino opponents in her school board race "handily".

But hey, this event should be fun. I mean what are they gonna do, kick me out or not let me in? Come on, I got an invitation and everything.

I also love that this event is going to be held in the shadow of Speaking Rock. That is the location of Norma Chavez's famous free food giveaways. I feel like that is some next-level trolling of Chavez.

You just know she's gonna attempt to speak Spanish at this event too, which should be content gold! I wonder if she furthers the Norma trolling by doing a Si se puede chant again? Which brings me to what I'll end this post with, I love that the lit left on the door says "hablo Español", which makes sense in the valley...but the lit message was in English.

No word on whether there will be tortilla or pan served. Also, no indication if it will be pan bolillo or francesitos.

I'm gonna be really sad when this campaign ends. Its gonna be hard to find funnier stuff than this.
