Best comment yet on Paredes' Mexico City mayor bid

From La Jornada:
"As president of PRI, I backed Ulises Ruiz and [Mario Marín], and I made deals with PAN against the rights of women.

Ah! But now if you give me your vote, I will govern as if I were of the left."

This is how a narco church looks like

Pictures from El Universal, from the church in Tezontle, Hidalgo, where Zeta leader Heriberto Lazcano Lazcano is kindly acknowledged as its donor:

Is PRI trying to kill its cadres?

Recent events may make one wonder.

It is quite common that PAN, PRD, and PRI - and all the other minor parties - offer meals for people who "show up" at their campaign rallies.

What is thankfully not so common is that the food is of so poor quality and dangerous to your health that it threatens to kill scores of your followers:

- In Chilapa, Guerrero, close to 800 (!) people got intoxicated at a PRI rally eating tainted egg tacos
- Then, in Zinacantepec, Mexico State, 150 people got sick (50 needed hospitalization) after eating food provided by the PRI mayor of Valle de Bravo.

Two such incidents in just one week, from the same party?
