We need the rain, stop squaking
Oacacan Senator Adolfo Gómez Hernándezm who sits on the Agriculture and Rural Development committe, knows we really, really need rain. Something we can’t do anything about, although I suppose we can try.
The Senator is a Mixteco, and his people have an app for that… one that had the Senate clucking. Gómez invited in a clutch of his fellow Mixtecos to hold a ceremony in the Senate outdoor plaza, to placate Tlaloc — the rain god — and offer him a chicken.
Well, in the old days, it was a baby, but apparently, there being some sort of Senate rule against bringing livestock into the complex (everyone remembers when farmers rode into the Chamber of Deputies on horseback a couple years ago) and his Morena party leaders … apparently unwilling to upset their Green allies, or maybe the vegan voters … had egg on their faces making a stink over the whole thing.
I’d post the video, but the Senate communications office took it down… they chickened out.
And we’re still waiting for rain.
