He's ba-aaacckkkk!

[doncoulter]

Those of you who have been here for a few years, or followed this forum for a few years, will remember Doug Bower and his irate, ignorant, and idiotic Internet rants about Guanajuato. He finally went into hiding a couple of years ago, disappearing not only from Guanajuato but also from the Web.

Now, unfortunately, Doggie Bow-wow is back, by no popular demand, with a new blog at http://www.askgringoman.blogspot.mx/ . The emphasis is on crime, which will come as no surprise to those who know his work. He's always exaggerated crime in Guanajuato, and we can expect him to take advantage of the recent spate of burglaries and so on to remind us that he predicted them.

In fact, the first post on his new blog (at the bottom of the page) is a copy of the Gtolist post made earlier this month by yanajon, after his house was burglarized. Bower does not indicate whether he sought or received permission to copy yanajon's words, but at least he credits yanajon and Gtolist. It has been suspected for some time that Bower "lurks" on Gtolist; now we know.

Another element of the new blog that will be no surprise to those familiar with Bower is that, unlike virtually every other blog on the planet, it has no room for reader comments. That is because Bower brooks no disagreement. He alone knows the truth about life in Guanajuato. If you disagree with him--and you will--you are a "gringolandian." Also, you're engaged in a conspiracy against him and even trying to kill him.

Think I'm exaggerating? Read his old stuff, to which he links. Or ask him yourself. Oh, wait. The blog is called "Ask the Gringo Man," but there's no way to ask him anything!

I also note, on the new blog, that Bower appears to believe that Felipe Calderón is still the president of Mexico. That's the sort of up-to-the-minute reporting and attention to detail you can expect from this new venture.
