- RoundUp Editor
- The RoundUp was launched in March of 2008 because the newspapers here are, shall we say, a little too deferential to the local elected officials and politicians. They (the papers) are in survival mode. They can't afford to rock the boat. Many of our public officials are getting a free ride off the taxpayers as well as a free ride from the press. What a deal they have! The RoundUp stepped into the gap with hopes of providing a small measure of balance to this lopsided picture. Our aim is to deliver good solid reporting and commentary that you will not find in the local newspapers. Editor Ochoa is an award-winning journalist with 18 years of newspaper reporting experience under his hat and 8 more as a high school journalism and photography teacher. We appreciate all of you readers who follow the RoundUp, and we appreciate all your comments and news tips. Keep 'em coming. Remember to stay tuned, stay alert, stay active, and PASS IT ON! Have a good one. Bob

May everyone's Holiday season be filled with joy and love for ALL people, not just the ones low on compassion who - because of their own internal demons - hate the following:
Taxes, government, liberals, public education, intellectuals, do gooders, minorities, foreigners, Muslims, Jews, atheists, agnostics, socialists, communists, communitarians, union members, teachers, Keynesians, anti-american nationalists, Californians, Europeans, Hollywoodites, and all those other people categories that get the flak from the great uneducated.
And Happy New Year as well.
"For last year's words belong to last year's language; and next year's words await another voice. And to make an end is to make a beginning." - T. S. Eliot
How bout some love for the "great uneducated"?
Yes, the great uneducated deserve love too, if they can let it in.
Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk at our Christmas party
We were drinking champagne punch and homemade eggnog
Little sister brought her new boyfriend
He was a Mexican
We didn't know what to think of him until he sang
Feliz Navidad, Feliz Navidad
Brother Ken brought his kids with him
The three from his first wife Lynn
And the two identical twins from his second wife Mary Nell
Of course he brought his new wife Kay
Who talks all about AA
Chain smoking while the stereo plays Noel, Noel
The First Noel
Carve the Turkey
Turn the ball game on
It's margaritas when the eggnog's gone
Send somebody to the Quickpak Store
We need some ice and an extension chord
A can of bean dip and some Diet Rites
A box of Pampers, Marlboro Lights
Halelluja everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the family
Fred and Rita drove from Harlingen
I can't remember how I'm kin to them
But when they tried to plug their motor home in
They blew our Christmas lights
Cousin David knew just what went wrong
So we all waited out on our front lawn
He threw the breaker and the lights came on
And we sang Silent Night, Silent Night, Oh Holy Night
Carve the turkey turn the ball game on
It's Bloody Marys
Cause We All Want One!
Send somebody to the Stop 'N Go
We need some celery and a can of fake snow
A bag of lemons and some Diet Sprites
A box of Tampons, some Salem Lights
Halelluja, everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the Family
Feliz Navidad!
So this is Xmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Xmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Xmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Xmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Xmas
And what have we done
Another year over
A new one just begun
And so happy Xmas
We hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over, if you want it
War is over now
Happy Xmas
Once in royal david’s city stood a lonely cattle shed,Where a mother held her baby.You’d do well to remember the things he later said.When you’re stuffing yourselves at the christmas parties,You’ll just laugh when I tell you to take a running jump.You’re missing the point I’m sure does not need makingThat christmas spirit is not what you drink.So how can you laugh when your own mother’s hungry,And how can you smile when the reasons for smiling are wrong? And if I just messed up your thoughtless pleasures,Remember, if you wish, this is just a christmas song.(hey! santa! pass us that bottle, will you? )
