We won't put words in Dr. G.F. Mchale-Scully's mouth since the successful author of several books is far more articulate and erudite than we are.

Plus, it was close to five o'clock in the morning when he wrote it and he was probably nodding out. But we know the manner in which our longtime friend and fellow member of a secret organization perceives reality from our many conversations with him over the last 40 years.
When he sees Oliveria, he makes believe he sees intelligence...and $2,000

When he sees Dominguez, the $2,000 blind him and he makes himself believe he sees ignorance.

When he sees Oliveira staffer Tony Gray, he sees a selfless individual who has served the district's constituents well and who wines and dines him on the rep's campaign funds when he's in Brownsville and when Jerry visits Austin.
He also tends to forget that it was Juan Montoya (the for hire blogger as Jerry and his friends describe him) who trained Gray in the way of newspapers and who recommended Oliveira hire him as his administrative assistant.
When he sees Dominguez's staffer Zeke Silva, the $2,000 make Jerry sees a selfish individual who has served himself well. He doesn't see anything past the campaign funds funneled to him through the Oliveria campaign. He doesn't see the work Silva has done to help the residents of colonias built by his Rene's Cardenas compadres in the flood zones, or the work he has done to complete the transformation of Cameron Park to a livable community.
When he sees the Oliveira team, he recognizes they can compete at drinking you under the table with anyone on the field.
When he sees the Dominguez team, he dreads the though of them winning because the drinks and gravy train will shrivel and dry up as will the free good times at Cobbleheads and in Austin.
When he sees Oliveira, he sees a man who claims 34 years of experience, expertise and achievements have made Brownsville a better place during his time as a state representative. That's why his district – compared with the other five senior members of the 150th representatives – has the worst family income levels, illiteracy, and poverty rates.
1. Tom Craddick, Amarillo $32,938 10.9 percent in poverty

2. Sephonia Thompson , Houston $15,742 27.8 percent in poverty
3. Harold Dutton, Houston, $19,867 24.5 percent in poverty
4. John Smithee, Amarillo, $27,603 12.4 percent in poverty
5. Oliveira, Brownsville (SPI), $13,416 39.1 percent in poverty
When he sees Dominguez, the Oliveira $2,000 campaign fund money he gets hypnotizes him into seeing someone with no expertise and no achievements who hasn't made his precinct better during his time as a county commissioner. The colonia improvements, inclusive playground for the physically impaired, winter coat drives for the poor, fighting for drinking water for San Pedro, all disappear into the haze of the fine wine he and Oliveira share.

When he sees Oliveira, he envisions Brownsville moving into the future. But not as fast as Oliveria's Caddy slamming into the back of the woman who was parked at a light that Oliveira's condition did not allow him to perceive. He'll also make believe that Rene did not leave the scene of the crime, and then could not remember how his car had suffered all the damage, and had to be held up by a female cop to keep himself from falling.
It wasn't the first woman who has helped Rene out. His current live-in lied to the cops at the scene and told them that there had been "no accident." Before that, Roller Derby Rene's girl friend took the fall when he rear-ended van then left the scene to coordinate his cover from Cheddar's next door. Sound like a pattern?
When he sees Dominguez, Oliveira's $2,000 make him think his hazy crystal ball is showing him an imagine of Brownsville regressing into the past.

When Jerry sees Oliveira, he sees a somebody with a hefty campaign fund which he shares generously with his drinking buddies.
Go to sleep Jerr. Your dream is our nightmare.
