It's duck-and-cover bunker time: Congressman Reyes' outdated blog at http://www.reyesblog.com/ is suddenly gone. Seems like the http://www.stantonstreetgroup.com/ of El Paso used to do the web work. There isn't much else to say, unless you want to grab the domain name: you can have it on February 10, 2011. And, check out the lame way the latest version of WP takes your hyperlinks. I'll leave this here, in order to remind myself why I have normal code saved in a text file. In a way, the lame way of hyperlinking reminds me of a certain way of doing business, Old El Paso-style. Like Reyes.

Where’s Silver Reyes?
Monday, March 22nd, 2010![](http://borderpundit.com/"wp-content/uploads//2010/03/reyes_hiding1.jpg "reyes_hiding")
Reyes hasn't updated his taxpayer-funded blog since 2008. Why, we remember the time when he was a fixture on intelligent matters like Intelligence (since, like, whenever), and "reducing college costs" (2007). You could hardly choke down a dry flauta without seeing Silver around, picking up loose change off the restaurant floor and selling snippets of his hair to admiring locals. Now, it's like he got off Pelosi's chain and is running loose around the political neighborhood. Everyone knows him, but no one wants to bring him in. He's like the ugly one-eyed, three-legged chihuahua, not the beautiful Siberian Husky. So he's just a stray, and everyone seems be repulsed by him. Politically.
It’s The End Of Their Party As We Know It (And We Feel Fine)
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010[Ed: I've watched Obama's Administration screw up for a year. This parody wraps it up for me. Sorta. There's a second parody coming. There's enough for it, easy. Thanks to twisty Michael Stipe for the influence and for making it so easy.]
It's The End Of Their Party As We Know It (And We Feel Fine)
(with apologies to R.E.M.’s Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills, Michael Stipe)
That’s great, it starts with Obamacare, money there, and Barney Frank – Steve Colbert is not afraid.
Cornhusker Kickback, ACORN heart attack,
Glenn Beck’s on your back, Fleetwood Mac on 8-Track.
Daily Kos is polling wrong, Robert Gibbs’ face is long,
Bowing down to heads of state, ShoreBank’s final fate.
Coffee Party astroturf, George Soros butthurt,
Global warming millionaires and Al Gore hot air.
Babs Boxer, Harry Reid gothic face of Dem greed. Firedoglake work overtime, propping up a dying line.
Oval Office garden with imported plants, fake doctor’s smocks and KSM. Look at that Maddow – oh, another ratings blow.
What, then?
Uh, oh, Churchill no, Jeremiah Wright’s a go, DVDs to the Queen, look at me primp and preen. Israel bad bad Saudi daddy glad glad, bored with this stinking job, trot my kids out, stay away.
You foaming-mouth, Left Wing, hot, snot, smear merchant empty-head looking for a fight.
It’s the end of that Party and we know it
It’s the end of that Party and we know it.

Cancer patients on parade, doctors’ jackets in the shade,
Aborted baby saves cash, or trot kids out to make a splash,
Nancy P tuna farm, Jane Harman AIPAC harm,
Feinstein real estate grab cash, REM lead singer, socialist bell-ringer,
Useful tool, Golden Rule, rhyme-clinger, bitter singer,
Jerky little baldy singy man full of hate, discriminate, it’s fun.
Pelosi’s Caucus, womyn’s only cathouse henhouse, call a special meeting,
Lipstick air kiss greeting, Mark Spivey Astroturf, Ellie Light in the night.
It’s the end of that Party and we know it
It’s the end of that Party and we know it. (It’s time I had some freedom)
It’s the end of that Party and we know it (It’s not time for any CoffeeTurf) and

Dan Rather mumbles on Vietnam George Bush, watermelon President, very articulate. Hope and Change, anger frames, Democratic Underground exploding from internal flames.
Sycophantic Libtards herkin’, jerkin’ in the night, right? Right.

Reyes Was For the Torture Amendment Before He Was Against It
Saturday, February 27th, 2010El Paso’s most prominent public figure, Congressman Silvestre Reyes, backed away from an amendment to the intelligence authorization bill that imposed criminal penalties on those who use torture to gain intelligence information. Reyes said, “I thought it was completely unnecessary. It wasn’t written or crafted very well.”
This was about 48 hours after the illustrious, Kennedy-esque political figure, Lion of the Desert, and Master Commander of the Intelligence Process backed the amendment as Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Back then — ancient history, by DC and Democrat standards — Reyes said that the amendment “is intended to be a strong and significant step toward better oversight, which still respects the constitutional authorities of the president.”
Remind me again why there’s a giant lighted Texas star on the Franklin Mountains above El Paso, instead of a huge portrait of “Silver.”
We Make Fun of White House Professional Robert Gibbs Making Fun of Sarah Palin Making Fun of Sarah Palin’s Palm-Notes
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010After White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs parodied Sarah Palin’s use of hand-notes, we parody both the hopeless Gibbs and a laughable legal assertion that has appeared on the White House’s Flickr page. Clicky on picture for super-sized Gibbsness goodness:

Where in the World is Congressman Silver?
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010Wow, Congressman Silvestre Reyes hasn’t posted anything on his blog since April 16, 2008. He doesn’t appear to have done anything in Congress since then, either. We nearly get a tear in our eye when we remember the big news about him joining some Intelligence Committee or other. Of course, we thought it was a school for increasing intelligence.
Two theories:
1) He was overconfident enough after the Obama election that he felt he didn’t need to communicate any more with his constituency.
2) He’s a lily-livered coward in hiding after the heat Democrats and Obama have been taking since Hopey-Changey didn’t go like their Left-wing supporters demanded it go.
3) His only web-savvy staffer quit.
Three theories. OK.
But No Mention of Earmarks…

City Life is Bad for the Brain
Friday, January 9th, 2009Oh, Dear. Looks like living in Blue State enclaves like San Francisco, Boston and New York can cause brain damage.
Well, that explains the support for Pelosi, Blago, Reid, Boxer, T. Kennedy (or T-Ked to hipsters), Caroline Kennedy, and that weird little guy from Ohio with the hot wife who believes in aliens from outer space.
