Like all good chamaquitos este Indio has his wish list for Christmas at the top of my list:
1. Por favor Santa bring us the gift of APPOINTMENTS by Gov. Davis to his administration. Pero not appointments in the 2nd , 3rd, or 4th tiers. We know those are tokens, powerless appointments no better than the phony appointments of Pipa Wilson. I note, Santa, that el nuevo Governor has thus far failed to appoint a single Mexican American to a 1st tier position. Mario Obledo was the last time we saw a 1st tier appointment and it took Jerry Brown to appoint him.
2. Santa, our GENTE are overburdened with taxes from the city, county, state and the nacion. Por favor bring us the gift of NO MORE TAXES OR INCREASES. My GENTE need work Santa, that will pay them more than an existence level salary. Por qué Santa, we only get the minimum wage jobs? Bring us good work Santa, we are not greedy. We are just so tired of being the donkeys of the country.
3. We ask that you bring to all the people equal shares of love, compassion, morality, and values. We lack all those things, Santa, that once motivated and made us worthy of Gods love. Chuck all the toys, candies, booze, clothes, and parties out of your sled. Instead bring us the memories of what CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT.
4. We thank Mayor Susan Golding for her years as our leader (?). Thank God for term limits. Please find a new job for her. We hear Rio de Janeiro, Brazil may need a new Alcalde soon. We hear they might need a NFL football stadium in their city.
5. Santa, we have suffered for almost 8 years with tooooo many mujeres in our city council. Ya sabes how it is Santa. Get a bunch of women together and nothing happens; they get carried away yacking, painting their toenails, and fixing their hair. Tooooo many COCINERAS spoil los frijoles. Bring us a few good hombres with cajo-nes to take control of our city. (Por favor Santa no members of the CHAMBER OF COMMERCE!)
6. Last of all Santa, make a detour off your usual rounds and go by the PERSIAN GULF and bring remembrance of home to all the servicemen who are sacrificing in our behalf. Just let them know we shall be thinking of them and their families.
En finis, Santa, visit all those so called Republican lawmakers, who can't seem to tell the difference between the National interest and their personal hang-ups. Give them a life and provide them with a "Career Hand book" they may need it after the next election.
Adios Santa, have a nice trip from the North Pole.
