Right Side of the Rainbow

Associated Press (via Houston Chronicle):

MEXICO CITY — The U.S. State Department is renewing a travel advisory that warns American citizens of violence in Mexico, especially along the U.S. border, the U.S. ambassador said today.

In a statement, U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Tony Garza defended the advisory, the third he has requested this year. He said more than 100 violent deaths along the border since June and the killings of 18 Nuevo Laredo policemen convinced him the warning was still necessary.

Of course, you know why there’s a sudden uptick in violence along the border, don’t you?
