New True-Crime Book for Sale

New True-Crime Book for Sale

Two weeks ago I was stupid enough to publish a similar story to this one, promising that the new true-crime book, Murder for the Love of Money, would be out that same week. I thought I was this close to wrapping it all up, so making that claim and putting it in print never worried me. The older I grow, I think, the dumber I get. Isn’t it supposed to work the exact opposite? Makes me wonder what I’ll be like 10 years from now. Will I have to wear a name tag when I go out in case someone taps me on the shoulder from behind and says, “Hi, I’m Bob, what’s your name?”

No more acts of “good faith” emanating from PSJA ISD

No more acts of “good faith” emanating from PSJA ISD

If PSJA ISD is going to operate in a spirit of Bad Faith with The Advance News Journal moving forward, as opposed to the spirit of Good Faith, which has been the norm between this district and this newspaper for decades, then who else might be treated in the same fashion? What other vendor is going to be told that the contract it currently has with PSJA ISD is no longer valid because someone associated with the district has just found a loophole, a technicality if you will, to break it?

Woman vs. Man: Does it matter? McAllen’s mayoral runoff

Hard to believe that it’s been 34 years since a woman, Phyllis Griggs, became the first female elected to McAllen’s city commission. Back then, with a small chain of Mr. Donuts to her credit (McAllen and Weslaco), Griggs was known around town as the “Donut Lady,” especially since she was a hit with the cops long before she ran for public office. Why? Because she’d drop off free donuts to the old cop shop on Pecan.
