GOWEN BANS HOT DOGS AND BURGERS AT STADIUM

By Juan Montoya
We are still trying to ascertain the facts behind this story, but as some prosecutors say, the "signature" surrounding this lead is certainly characteristic of the paternal (or is it maternal in this case?) nature of the majority on the Brownsville City Commission.
The latest we've heard is that Commissioner Rose Gowen has succeeded in passing city regulation that forbids the sale of fattening hot dogs and vein-clogging greasy burgers.
You know the fare. You stand in a long line behind a motley collection of your obese fellow city residents to get a crack at some mustard and ketchup drenched hot dogs made of pig and chicken innards enveloped in a  bun made from bleached flour and artificial chemicals and colors. Ditto with the burgers. God only knows what''s in those. Ground sirloin streak we're sure it's not. Whether it's the sinewy of nervous cows or what's left on the slaughterhouse floor mixed in with some colorful chemical or tofu to make it appear edible, we line up in droves to get at the stuff.
And surrounded by a milling crowd, the smell of popcorn and a hefty dose of syrupy malt passing off as a fountain drink, it hits the spot, doesn't it?
It's delicious, or, as my kids say, yummy for our tummy.
Well, all good things apparently – like grocery store plastic bags and smoke-filled bars – must come to an end.
City sources say that stadium goers can scratch the hot dogs and the burgers next time they attend a function there. Seems like Gowen and her friends at healthy communities don't think we less health-conscious fools should be allowed to choose our poison.
We're still looking for the documentation on this one, but we're sure it's there. We're going to down a dog and a coke and continue looking.
If it's true, I'm afraid that I'm going to be pressured by my kids to vote for Roberto Uresti against Auntie Gowen in the at-large seat in the upcoming city election. Banning hot dogs from stadiums is simply UnAmerican, B'God! It makes my cholesterol boil.
Burp!

So, we now have our very on version of New York's Mayor Bloomberg. When will Rose Gowen attack large sodas, greasy tacos, fried potatoes, and other sodium heavy and fatty foods. Should we now call her Mother Rosey. And how does a measure like this get passed without public input and review by the Brownsville Herald....not that this is a big issue. But, then, the Herald seems to miss all the big stories or follow the blogs in a few weeks.

Yes, he used the word ascertained, and used it correctly. Let me use it in another sentence that you probably can grasp:

"From his derrogatory comment about JMON, I have ascertained that the anonymous blogger on April 5, 2013 at 2:23 PM, is an ignorant bastard who should return to grasping himself."

Hope I have been clear enough for you, Anon.

She should pay more attention to her own weight, lead by example if you will, lose 20 lbs. my good doctor and maybe we will take you seriously. We will never agree with you, but maybe we could take you a more seriously. It is kind of like the parent that says, "Do as I say, not as I do."

This Herald story about how all the bar owners love the smoking ban is yet another example of manipulated Herald propaganda. Enforcement of the new rule is awaiting the city election, pendejos. Then watch these nervous bar owners start crying. What did you want them to say? Something negative, and invite the enforcement cops in retaliation ?

Why didn't the Herald reporter interview the owners of WINKS, or other non city competitors? Or check the sales tax reports for local bars on the state controller's web site? According to one local liquor ditributor, sales in Brownsville are off 30% They told me, "while a person is standing out in front of a bar smoking, he/she is not consuming."

This law is causing unemployment in Brownsville, and will hit the city budget's sales tax revenue's. Whether you like the law or not, vote against Dr. Rose Gowan. This has now turned into a freedom of press issue. The city controls the Herald with their ad budget. Reason enough to vote against Rose. No one else advertises in the damn rag.

Vote for a free press. Vote agains Rose, and her Brownsville Herald propaganda machine.

Working on a "Rose Gowen FTB" campaign.....looking for any juicy info or photos where she is contradicting her healthy ways.....I've got a ton of stuff already......going back to her younger years....illegal driving habits, waste......and even her family member's unhealthy habits, activities...., ect....Rose, clean up your shit before you ask me to clean up mine!!!! You are not perfect and many of us do not want you pushing your ways on us.

Gowen!! Seriously!!! What the hell is your problem? Let the people eat whatever the hell we want to eat. Who are you to decide that? This damn city is falling apart $$$ and you are worried about what we eat. Brownsville citizens, please, please, please!!! Let’s vote for anyone else running against her. Anything will be better. Even my “TIA PANCHA” from Mexico.

Damn, I am (*&^(*(*()*()&*(&*()&*() pissed off!! I can’t believe this nonsense. Wait a minute, I get it now. She has to do stupid things like this because when it comes to running city business, she is completely lost like all the others.
