Theresa Caballero, who is running for District Attorney, posts this intriguing letter from a US military officer who was arrested on suspicion of cocaine possession.

The story, as told on Caballero’s blog, is sufficiently horrendous if true.

One thing’s for sure: the story didn’t get much press. Can’t find anything at all about it, besides this and this.

If a settlement was reached, how much did the officer get? I suppose if Caballero is looking for reasons we should shit-can Esparza (there are many, including the fact that he is an incumbent in a — well, let’s just say — co-opted political system), then perhaps the monetary outpouring could inspire voter frustation among those who travel El Paso’s buckled, pot-holed streets, who navigate housing areas built atop filled-in arroyos, who pay extra for the mandatory stone walls surrounding their postage-stamp back yards, and who marvel at the inanity of political life around the curve of the Franklin Mountains.

Anyone else know anything? Besides, we mean, that the stench from local government is worse than that Shakespearean smell wafting from Denmark. Which means, there are a lot of stinky fish to catch along the Rio Grande, these days.

Sonora state legislators have complained about Arizona’s new employer sanctions law, which punishes those who hire illegal aliens.

By doing so, they hope to co-opt existing American cultural systems, laws and norms to suit their needs.

After all, it beats having the intellect, moral strength and political acumen to deal with their self-made failures. Evolutionary biology explains all, in this case.

Hat Tip: Stop the ACLU.
