    Corporate Welare Report

    Although hes no longer with

    The Scooter Store, ormerStore VP in charge o

    Medicare Compliance, Tim

    Zipp, is still President o the

    Citys 4-B Board. That entity is

    currently embroiled in a lawsuit against

    the Store or nearly $4 million in taxpayer

    largess that the Store was given as part o

    deal to keep them in New Braunels instead

    o picking up stakes and moving to San

    Marcos, which they had threatened to do

    i they didnt get nearly $4 million rom the

    NB taxpayers. You know, because the Store

    cares about the community and whatnot.

    Anyway, you know by now that the 4-B

    has been operating without a Federal Tax IDnumber, and up until now you may have been

    thinking Big deal. What could they possibly

    need a Federal Tax ID number or? Well, aside

    rom properly ling taxes, it means they arent

    a legitimate corporation, even though they have

    the word Corporation right there in their name.

    The ull name o the Board is the New Braunels

    Industrial Development Corporation. See?

    This is about to become a problem,

    because i the City expects to get that nearly

    $4 million back, theyre going to have to win

    in court and the act that they dont have

    their ducks in a row means that they (we) just

    might have to eat that cash. Oops.

    Weve been told by District FourCoucilmember Sandy Nolte that 4-B does

    indeed have a Federal Tax ID number, but

    she declined to tell us what it was or who

    told her that they have one. Weve heard

    rom other City Ocials that 4-B does not

    have a Federal Tax ID number, but that they

    dont need one. Which is unny, because

    according to the States 4-B rules, the Board

    is supposed to have its own bank account.

    Which it doesnt. They mos de

    need a Federal Tax ID or that.

    Oh dear.In any case, Trevor Bird

    o Gruene Harley-Davidson

    sits on the 4-B Board, and last

    week, during the Treasurers report,

    he asked to see the Boards phantom Tax ID.

    He was immediately Tommy-gunned by First

    Assistant City Attorney Frankie The Onion

    Onion, who told him that since the Tax ID

    wasnt on the agenda, that he couldnt bring it

    up during the nancial discussion portion o the

    evening, and that i he wanted to discuss it hed

    have to wait another month to do so. Uh oh.

    Now keep in mind that the Boards

    Directors are legally responsible or everything

    the Board does. And that Trevor Bird was shutdown or trying to make sure that the Board

    hes on is in compliance with the law. This is

    like a person you dont know asking you to

    carry something on board an airplane with

    an admonition not to look inside the bag.

    This is what Bird is up against. Well have to

    wait and see how this plays out, but man, I

    wouldnt want to be Sandy Nolte right now.

    As or Tim Zipp, there are two ways his

    continued presence on 4-B could go. The

    question is where his loyalties lay. I its with

    his old company, hell be trying to get the

    4-B used to idea that they just arent going

    to be able to collect on that debt. I its with

    the taxpayers o this community, hell be usingwhat he knows about The Store to make sure

    we get paid back. Again, were going to

    have to wait and see on this one, however the

    Zipp confict o interest thing just gets worse.

    The idea that hes still on 4-B speaks volumes,

    but thats par or the course in Texas Most

    Corrupt City. Enjoy.

    City Council Report

    Ater the beating City Council took or

    denying the downtown outdoor ood court,

    (see The War on Cool in the 2-7-13 issue

    on the TX Citizen, online at txcitizen.com), it

    seems they might have decided to embrace

    their collective inner hipster last Monday,

    voting unanimously to allow Pour Haus

    customers to bring their pooches with them

    to the Haus massive patio or Giant Jenga

    and bean bag tossin. Council also voted

    to allow pedicabs to cart downtown visitors

    both this way and that. Good times, all o

    it. (Both items will need to be voted on one

    more time, but as these both passed their rst

    reading 7-0, it would be shocking i our or

    more council members were to change their

    minds beore the next meeting.)

    There was also a bit o weird during the

    meeting. District Threes Ron Reeves made

    a massive amendment to an item regarding

    the ormation o a task orce to develop a

    plan or arts and culture. He went as ar

    as to outline which other City and citizen

    entities should sit on the board o said task

    orce, moved to approve the item with his

    changes, and then voted against it. And

    people wonder why we hate politicians.

    Best Letter Ever. Ev-er.

    We got THE BEST letter the other day. Its

    awesome. Its clearly rom someone who

    works at City Hall, but because it names

    names theres no way we can run it unless

    we know who wrote it. So, attention BEST

    LETTER writer, we need to know who you are.

    We wont tell anybody - weve been protecting

    City Hall sources or over a year. So drop by

    the oce or send us an email and well pop

    that bad boy into print or yall.

    Ma e up or somet ing orri e you i once.

    We got this rom TX Citizen an and uber-

    dogsitter Karla Roch:

    Ok folks here is your chance

    to do a good thing for a family with

    a single mom who lost all of their

    belongings in a re last Friday. The

    re is suspected to be an electrical

    one at no fault to her.

    Her name is Stephanie Pollard

    and she owns Doggone Green

    Mobile Dog Wash. She lost her cat

    and birds in the fire, but Officer

    Heath from Animal Control was

    able to save her two dogs! She has

    been offered clothing, food, etc.

    although at this point she really

    needs enough money just to get

    started with a place to live. Can

    you help? She is a kind and loving

    person who has and would do the

    same for a stranger.

    Karla can be reached at

    [email protected], and

    donations can be made via PayPal to t hat

    address as well.

    ADVICE FROM

    UNCLE ESEL

  • 7/30/2019 TX Citizen 4.25.13

    11/16TXCITIZEN.COM 11

    Uncle K. Esel is a lietime resident o our air city, and iswell known or his sage advice on a wide range o topics.I you fnd yoursel perplexed with no one to turn to,send your question to Uncle Esel at: [email protected]. Be sure to write Question or Uncle Esel in thesubject line o your email.

    Uncle Esel,You mentioned the government

    spying on our emails and othercommunications, but is there anyevidence they use the internet againstus? I mean i they are genuinely lookingor terrorists, then whats the harm?

    Tank You,Wilson

    Dear Wilson,Well, i the government could be trusted to

    just do what they say, then we wouldnt haveto worry about it, but in act, agencies like theIRS are starting to utilize inormation o theInternet to go ater people. Not just them, butalso state agencies including tax agencies.

    One reported case involved Oklahoma

    authorities going ater a bunch o rat boyswho were making a ew bucks by hostingparties. Now, news fash Oklahoma taxpeople, no one on Facebook, Twitter or othersocial media sites ever lies or exaggerates. Iits on the Internet it has to be true, right?

    So these kids did the unexpected andmaybe exaggerated a wee bit on the amounto income they made (in reality, probably justenough to buy some ree booze and a tanko gas). Imagine the shock o getting bill or

    $320,000 rom the state or back taxes andpenalties. Imagine the surprise to see the back-up documentation that consisted entirely oscreen shots o the boys social media posts.So are you worried yet?

    Well listen up Casanovas and Lolitas othe world. Over 80% o divorce cases alsorelied on social media in some orm or theirproceedings. Even around here, we have seenthe use o social media to turn common blusterinto something sinister even though it was just

    simple trash talk. I guess its all a matter o whohas the best access to the system and theright connections, isnt it Princess?

    By the way, the Department o Justicewas served with a Freedom o InormationAct (FOIA) request by the Electronic FrontierFoundation and had to produce a trainingdocument on using social media to investigateAmericans. It includes reerences to work-arounds or privacy settings and appears toallude to using deception (riending) to getino despite routine claims that the eds do notdo that. So Wilson, in summary, how manyterrorists have been jailed or under-reportingtaxes? Using non-ederal agency math, wehave the count at zero.

    Love, K

    Dear Uncle Esel,I have a problem with a local

    business who has ailed to work ona warranty item or something that ibought, even though it broke in the rst

    month. What is the best approach?Tank youKenny

    Dear Kenny,The question is pretty broad and there

    are a lot o variables to consider such as theindustry or merchandise you might be talkingabout. Most really big retailers or instancehave a repair division or service either in

    house or contracted. In either case they otenbuy products rom manuacturers and getdiscounts or agreeing to service any warrantyneeds. Smaller companies however, will reeryou to the manuacturers warranty programand approved repair centers.

    I you dealing with a big company thenask to speak to their national customer relationsdepartment, this usually starts the ball rolling toresolve most complaints. You can also contactthe manuacturer o an item to obtain warrantyassistance. When nothing seems to beworking you can lodge a complaint with theBetter Business Bureau or the state ConsumerDivision o the Attorney General oce.

    Tell the Attorney Generals oce you arerom New Braunels, they know us real well upthere. On second thought, they may not be toriendly i you tell them that. I you are reallygood at Internet searches, you can alwaysnd the phone numbers or the executives othe company or even a ax number. Calls tothem are usually ast tracked or resolution and

    get pretty lenient treatment, you know, in caseyoure asking or too much. I all else ails, badmouth them on their Facebook.

    Love, K

    Uncle Esel,When will Walnut be done?Tanks,Dave

    Dave,

    No one knows that answer.Love, K

    Special Message rom Uncle Esel:I would like to wish all the victims o the

    terrorist act in Boston a speedy recovery and aprayer or their well being as well as or those

    who lost loved ones. Esel hopes that thoseresponsible or this act o terror will meet witha swit punishment or their actions. It wasgreat to see the unselfsh acts o Americansgoing to the aid o the allen and dazed.Cowards will not cause us to withdraw andhide and we will continue to show our spiritunder pressure. Lie, liberty and the pursuit ohappiness. Keep it going.

    By Gustavo Arellano

    Dear Mexican: I have always liked

    ranchera music. As o late, I have

    wanted to get deeper into it as ar as

    the history, the culture and especially

    the songs and lyrics. Te older I get,

    the more rancheras seem like poetryto mesounds cursi, i know. So what

    I was wondering is i you know a good

    book or two or website that I can

    read or check out? I went to my local

    library and they didnt have a very

    good selection. And Borders or Barnes

    and Noble? Forget itso por avor and

    gracias, i you could.

    Houston Honey

    Dear Wabette: O course Borders doesnt

    stock any books on rancherasBorders doesnt

    exist anymore (and borders dont existed,

    period, but thats neither ni aqu no all). Most

    research on Mexican music concentrates on

    corridos, our ballad orm that celebrates bad

    men, events, and horses, but actual scholarly

    treatises on ranchera? Few and ar between,

    alasand non-existent in English.

    Your best bet is Jose Alredo Jimnez:

    Cancionero Completo, a songbook that

    contains all the compositions o the ranchera

    titan, whose hit parade makes the collected

    works o Gershwin, Porter, Leiber-Stoller, the

    Brill Building AND Woody Guthrie seem as

    voluminous as the output o Paper Lace. Thelibro also contains a great introductory essay

    by Mexican intellectual Carlos Monsivais that

    puts Jimnez in his proper context.

    As great as Cancionero Completo is,

    however, dont bother buying it: a used copy

    o is currently priced at $54 on Amazon.com,

    and while the book showcases the Robert

    Burns-esque bravado and orgullo that was the

    Jimnez style, it aint worth that price in this

    day and age where you can just gather all the

    lyrics online. Then again, i youre willing to

    buy the book, Im more than happy to sell my

    copy to you: I do need to nish o the down

    payment on my burro

    Dear Mexican: Upon rst seeing

    me, as a two-week old baby, my aunt

    Estrella screamed Ay, que gringo!

    But, i you gotta call me a gabacho,

    so be it. I do have Mexican amily

    (through marriage), and my brother

    (white like me) is currently down in

    Mexico City courting a beautiul Mexi

    nugget he met while attending college

    in Malaga, Spain.I get along well with many

    Mexicans, legal and illegal, but I hate

    that they arent paying the man like

    I have to. Sure, Im a little jealous, but

    Id be all or Mexicans being awarded

    citizenship simply or walking over

    the border...as long as they paid their

    dues. I pay taxes that und crap like

    keeping white trash rom getting jobs,jobs they could get i I wasnt already

    paying or them to survive on junk

    ood, and some undocumented border-

    jumping beaner wasnt there working

    or cheaper (and not helping me pay

    the dumb taxes to keep the trailer trash

    alive). I say assimilate, document, pay

    taxes and welcome.

    Im writing an essay on wetbacks(screw PC terms) and their efect on our

    country or better AND worse. Ive never

    heard o you until I read about 30 o your

    emails and responses on the net today.

    Id like to know whats your opinion

    on the crossing over and its efect

    economically rather than socially?

    White Sox Winner!

    Dear Gabacho: The only opinion I have

    is on your language. Beaner? Border-

    jumping? Wetback? All these insults

    are SO 1950s. Dont you know the current

    verboten insult toward Mexicans is illegal

    or illegal immigrant? And as or your

    concern about the undocumented paying

    their way, dontcha worry about that: the

    recent proposed amnesty bill crated by a

    bunch o political pendejos is more punitive

    than habanero salsa marching through your

    alimentary canal toward your culo.

    Magic Hats Pistil

    We have something very interesting or you

    today, my ne readers! The brewery thatsnormalizing spruce tips in their wheelhouse

    beers, and apricot juice in their fagship,

    is bringing two intriguing ingredients in to

    one pretty capable beer. The brewery is

    Magic Hat, and the beer is Pistil. Pistil is a

    Dandelion ale, or rather something close to

    a Pale Ale or ESB with dandelion leaves and

    fowers added to the brew. Yeah, me neither

    (is what Im replying to your statement about

    never having seen that beore). Culinarily, I

    do know that dandelion is used sometimes in

    light greens salad, and they have a slightly

    bitter, delicate favor. Perhaps a worthy

    addition to the hops? Well see.

    The other unusual ingredient is

    aciduated malt, also known in the distilling

    biz as Sour Mash. In addition, to give a bit

    o body, faked oats. Lets see how this comes

    out, shall we? The beer has a bit o a hazy

    white beer color, with a white oamy head.The taste is something rather unique.

    The malt is a bit more orward than I

    thought it was going to be. Dandelion,

    spring, so I thought it was going to be a

    very light malt, but this is just a bit more

    caramel than not. There is a very nice crisp

    bitterness, about like a pilsner, and a lovely

    green grassy note. The atertaste is where

    the lacto-inected malt comes through. It

    gives almost a pinapple-ish atertaste. Not

    super sour in the taste, but the ater really

    lingers. Overall, this is an interesting oray

    into using dandelions, and a great example

    o aciduated malting. Despite the overly

    thick sweetness o the malt, this beer is

    greatly rereshing and would be an amazing

    companion on warm nights.

    Cheerwine: It Tastes Like Home

    heerwine, its the second most popular

    rink in North Carolina, but unlike the states

    most popular sipping beverage, its legal and

    lcohol ree.

    I love Texas, but Imtried and true Tar Heel

    nd hillbilly. A while back I

    ran into a man who wound

    up working out with us at

    arriors Edge. It didnt take

    long or me to recognize that

    his accent was not Texan and

    hat he too was a Tar Heel.

    s it turned out, it being

    he small world that it is, I

    ctually went to high school

    ith some o his kin!

    Now I havent been

    back to Carolina since my

    10 year high school reunion,

    because, well, it was kind o a bummer.

    I remember hurrying up to graduate rom

    ollege so that I could tell everyone that I was

    in act a college graduate beore going to my10 year reunion. I had to hustle, but I made it

    ith a month or two to spare.

    I remember walking into the grand ol

    hindig all o my old classmates had planned

    or what I thought was going to be my

    riumphant return and the rst person I ran into

    idnt say hey its Bubba, he didnt even say

    hello, he looked at me kind o conused and

    aid, I heard you were dead.For once I was speechless. But ater

    omeone else looked at me like they had seen

    ghost, I let, still not being sure o how I let

    his cruel world. Far be it rom me to wreck it or

    verybody i I went down in a blaze o glory.

    Besides that story sounded more impressive

    han umbling through nine years o college.

    Not wanting to scare anyone else, or ruin

    great story, I have not been to Carolina since.

    Now besides the people, who or many Im literally dead to, there are a ew other things

    I miss about Carolina. Boiled peanuts, sweet

    orn, cheap Copenhagen, shine (although I

    ont partake anymore) and Cheerwine.

    Cheerwine, its the state drink in North

    arolina. In act, the only place I know that

    person can buy Cheerwine, The Nectar o

    he Gods, is in North Carolina. But i you

    have a new best riend like my buddy Brian,ou can have them bring you back some ater

    ne o their visits.

    I couldnt wait to take a drink, but it needed

    to be cold. Drinking hot Cheerwine would be

    worse than drinking spoiled buttermilk, apple

    favored shine, (only Yankees drink that), or

    maybe even worse. Whats worse than warm

    Cheerwine you wonder? Dontask me. I dont know, because

    in North Carolina we only

    drink our Cheerwine cold.

    Anyway, it seemed

    like 14 hours beore it was

    cold enough to drink. When

    the time nally came I can

    promise you this, nothing

    ever tasted so good. It took

    me back to a time long ago,

    so I got in touch with some o

    my old high school riends,

    well, at least the ones who

    knew the evil secret about

    me still being alive.

    Facebook is an easy way to stay in touch,

    and its also easy enough to use or us nine year

    goin-to-college hillbillies. I put a picture up and

    said hi to a couple o riends and beore I knewit there were over 50 comments on it.

    Friends rom all over the country and even

    one in South Korea started reminiscing about

    Cheerwine and old times. Funny stories like

    the time we convinced one o my riends that

    spreading peanut butter across a hickey was

    the only way to make it to go away. So, him

    being just enough lesser smart than me asked,

    Crunchy or smooth?, and spent the rest othe day with Jiy Peanut butter smeared across

    his neck while we all spent the day drinking

    beer and snickering.

    I have only shared one o my prized

    Cheerwines. I gave Gina, the real boss o

    Warriors Edge, one. She wasnt near as

    excited about the Cheerwine experience as I

    was. She just took a sip and said, rather fatly,

    It tastes like Cherry Coke.

    Not to me. I tasted sweet corn, boiledpeanuts, and cheap Copenhagen. I smelled

    resh cut grass on the ootball eld and peanut

    butter rom across a snickering room. I tasted

    home. Until next time
