Nads scoops 'em. She scooped 'em! NADS SCOOPED 'EM!!!!!!!!!!

For you or me, madam, it might be foolhardy, but for the intrepid girl reporter, it should be a piece of cake.

I'm not sure being from there offers her any protection.  She knows more horror stories about that hell hole than we do.

You should write a story about Nads, the cracked reporter in Mexico.

Well, I'm sort of speaking from experience here.

In the mid-1990s, I spent a couple of years in the socialist paradises of the workers and peasants.

I was on my own, including on my own dime, no one else's.  Solo.

I knew nothing of the languages, and very little of the terrain.  I had no idea who was an honest man, and who wasn't.  Lots of times, the only way I could tell directions was by looking for a statue of Lenin (all statues of Lenin had him facing Moscow, and one could extrapolate from that).

I didn't know shit.

Others who knew the languages and the people, got around with ease.

I survived that--obviously--whole and intact, despite my disadvantages.

It still seems to me, with all her advantages, the cousin should get around Ensenada with no problems at all, avoiding all pitfalls and hazards.  Unlike it'd be for you or me.

The exclamation would be "mini-Ben". Benjamin Franklin is always depicted as having been of normal height. Considering the lack of politically correct sensitivities in the 18th century, if he'd had nadin's physique he would have been a sideshow attraction, not a diplomat.

In my defense, I will say that most Mexicans have never seen Ben Franklin, and those who have only saw him on a rolled up $100 bill while a gringo tourist was snorting coke off a burro's ass. So, for a Mexican, Ben Franklin's head is only 3/4 of an inch high.

It worries me that a Mexican may see a $100 bill and think nads has been memorialized on American money..... OK, it really doesn't worry me that much

I can only imagine how excited the nutcase would be the first time she and The Good Rig came upon a pickup truck full of heads.

That has apparently become an everyday occurrence in the shithole south of Texas.

"Scoop" implies there was some other news organ who would have wanted the story. Some congressional hack running the rubber chicken circuit who decides to stop for a photo op with an obscure hand full of malcontents is probably something not even on a real paper's radar.

That's an interesting thought.

You could pretty much say that everything nutcase nadin sends to Crazy Miriam's blog is a "scoop".

A few years ago, they had rolled some heads across the dance floor of a night club.  And that was on the Pacific - They also found a bunch of heads in Alcopulco put in front of a school.

Every mexican shool has a headmaster.

This reminds me of the Omaha Weeper's blockbuster game-changing news during his campaign for fourth place in a field of four.

I thought he finished in third place in a field of four?  Or am I getting my DUmp losers confused?

This just in - liberal democrat supports amnesty, with the hope of making more liberal democrats out of them. Blames Tea Party. News at eleven.

Yeah. A real 'scoop' there. About as meaningful as being the first one to report that the sun has risen again today.

 
'Zactly.

It took me literally ten minutes to compose an email in Spanish... my native tongue.

Uh-huh.   It makes you sound sooooo international.

Maybe he finished ahead of the libertarian. I haven't nadined it.

Seems to me it was two repukes, the weeper, and a paultard.

Some joker at the democrat office got the weeper to run because they were embarrassed to have a blank line on the ballot.

The problem is he has run for so many damn things and finished at the bottom or very near it with all of them, that it becomes hard to keep track. 

Now that I think about it, I believe he finished last in the union election, twice, and third out of forth in the big election.
