Originally posted by shocka khan View PostI have extended family in Mexico. When we do discuss anything related to the cartels, it's usually in private. They are afraid to discuss things in public because they personally know people who have received death threats (to extort money, because they said the wrong thing and on and on).
You should feel very lucky living in a country where the judicial system can't be bought off easily. That is certainly not the case in Mexico. It has been widely speculated that Nieto (current president) has taken payoffs and there are a number of individuals (Humberto Moriera, ex-governor of Tamaulipas), most notably belonging to the PRI party who are on the cartel's payroll. If it hadn't been for Moriera raiding the treasury of Tamaulipas, he would be president of Mexico right now.
And not only Tamaulipas, there are a number of other states (Veracruz and Sinaloa to mention two) where the entire state government is on the cartel's payroll.Livin the dream

In related news, Cubs win!There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

Anybody catch the play Alcides Escobar made against Houston Thursday night. Running down a little flair into center sliding away from home plate then doubling runner off of 1st base. Simply outstanding.

Yes, it was outstanding. Too bad that it didn't get as much airplay as Josh Donaldson admiring his homerun.One quick note before we present the rankings: With Wichita State’s move to the American Athletic Conference, the Shockers have moved out of the mid-major club. We wish the Shockers well against Cincinnati, UConn, SMU, and more.

Cubs finally won. Snapped out of a losing streak tonight.There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.
