Tales from the City...After almost getting a tentacle ripped off in a freak racquetball accident this weekend, Squid is in an appreciative mood. Tentacles are super useful. Let Squid (using all eight limbs) count the ways: Juggling, scratching those hard to reach parts, grabbing juicy email threads...
Squid recently latched onto an e-mail from Monterey City Council member Alan Haffa to the Salinas City Council and Monterey City Manager Fred Meurer regarding homelessness in Salinas. In the email, which then made a couple rounds among Monterey city officials, Haffa waxes philanthropic about a dismal situation in Salinas recently brought to the fore by a Weekly article about a group of people living in tents in Chinatown. Haffa urges Salinas officials to work with this group of homeless, who have created a self-governing community called the "Tent City."
Well intentioned? Perhaps. Speaking of tentacles, though, isn't there enough for the Monterey City Council to do without sticking their suckers into Salinas' affairs?

The Mexican Quotes a Study on Immigrant Reproduction
Dear Mexican: Can you please tell me something? How do you think it's fair that all the people that come to our country and stay get treated far better than some of the people who have busted their butt all their lives here - tell me how is that fair?! You people take all the white man's jobs and leave us wondering how to support our families and you people have NEVER heard of the condom because if you have noticed - I sure have - your trashy kind are taking over. And you would think that if you go to another country, you would respect the people enough to learn the language spoken which here in the United States of America is ENGLISH! Please go back where you should be and stop taking all the benefits white people deserve. You all disgust me.

Dear Gabacha: This is what I love about ustedes Know Nothings: your aggressive ignorance of facts. A 2012 study by the Pew Research Center revealed that the birthrate for Mexican women is falling sharply, for both Chicanas and mexicanas. And while the birthrate for those mujeres is still higher than the birthrate for gabachas, it's expected, not so much because Mexicans are naturally fecund, but because immigrants in general tend to have more kiddies than native-born Americans. Don't believe me? The Pew Research Center also revealed that the percentage of children with foreign-born mothers is as high as the turn of the 20th century, the last time trashy, non-English-speaking immigrants came to this country to save the States from native-born pendejas like yourself.
