Carlos Montoya Is My Hero

Santa Fe City Council Approves New Wal Mart. Hippies outraged.

To tell the truth, I'm ambivalent about Wal Mart, I see good points and bad points to these super stores. However, in the midst of all the leftist rage the voice of Carlos Montoya, my new hero, is heard amidst the din over at the New Mexican:

I liked Ms. Laskowski's comments about how the drop outs of the SF school system will have jobs. How condescending is that? Why don't you take your Phd. and go back to what ever rock you came out of. How dare you say that!!!Maybe if they have a job they won't have to sell drugs to all the little white kids from the east side of town. It's people like you who are causing an economic division in Santa Fe.The thing I hate the most is when Anglo people like her come to Santa Fe and act like they know everything. If you are so darn smart what the h@ll are you doing in Santa Fe?

If you are so darn smart what the h@ll are you doing in Santa Fe?

That sound you're hearing is uncomfortable silence.

Note to Democrats, this is why the Republicans are starting to pwn you over the Hispanic vote. You guys enjoy using race conflict tactics to solidify your base? Congratualtions, it worked. Only for us.

PS Like I tell the people out here: I am not an Anglo. I'm Irish!

Dems to fund thinking

Scrappleface has a hilarious post about the Democrats' new strategy to win an occasional election: thinking!

In a novel approach for the Democrat party, a group of left-leaning investors said it has raised $80 million in pledges to fund thinking, in hopes that thought and actual policies might be the secret to victory in coming elections.

The dramatic reversal of strategy comes not from the Democrat National Committee (DNC) itself, but from a group of 80 wealthy progressives who each pledged $1 million in an effort to emulate the conservative think-tanks which have developed during the past three decades.

(snip...)

However, a spokesman for the Democrat National Committee expressed concern that "this new so-called thinking strategy might divide the party, and reduce the amount of money available for our TV ads which make people feel bad about Republicans."

"People always run after the latest new thing," said the unnamed DNC spokesman. "But when they find out how difficult thinking really is, we're confident that they'll come back to the DNC."

True enough! Thinking people in the DNC "big tent" need not apply. Only shrill screaming moonbats are welcome!

Help Beat Cancer

[Sneaking in the window to put up a post...]


Chris Muir of Day By Day is asking for our help. His sister Cathy is being kept alive by treatments at the American Cancer Ablation Center in Gulf Shores, Alabama, and he's asking us to raise their visibility for PR purposes. They'll have an ad to be aired on CNN cancer special on August 14th and 20th, but he's asking for our help in doing more.

As often as you can for the next TEN DAYS, click on the banner below (or links) and boost their visibility in search engines, and please steal the banner (don't hotlink) and/or put up a link at your sites as well.

I've also created a button that should fit in most sidebars; please do save it, put it on your blog, and link it to http://www.cancerablation.com/.

Point to Ponder

Is the War in Iraq diverting us from the much needed global, covert war against the French?

Oops, Time For Some Creative Bookkeeping

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson said Sunday that he’s looking into investigating claims that a Santa Fe Municipal Court judge altered records of people convicted of driving while intoxicated.

...

Richardson said he read in Sunday’s New Mexican about a former Municipal Court employee who said Judge Frances Gallegos systematically altered records in numerous DWI cases, often inflating defendants’ jail sentences and the actual time they spent behind bars. The report also quoted another employee and court documents.

Nice work, if you can get it, being a muni judge. I think it's a witch hunt, personally. After all, it's not like Judge Gallegos has ever been reprimanded by the Judicial Ethics committee.

Oops, my bad. She has.

Santa Fe Municipal Court Judge Frances Gallegos is the latest jurist to come under fire from the state's judicial standards commission, which says the judge violated the New Mexico code of judicial conduct by ordering defendants in her court to attend a driving-safety course put on by her court administrator, according to state Supreme Court records.

We should just change the name of the office from "Governor" to "El Presidente" then put a gigantic bananna on our state flag and get it over with.

Here's a happy guy, to be positive about these things. Go over and ask him about the "man hating witch".

Ohh, the anger sharks are swimming in my head!

State Senator John Grubesic (D-Road Rage) had yet another traffic-related incident this past week.

A sheriff's deputy went to Grubesic's home Tuesday because a neighbor reported he was speeding in his Chevrolet Tahoe on Star Vista Road east of Santa Fe and nearly hit her teenage sons who were on bicycles in front of their home. "He came within about 4 feet of one of my sons," Shelly Cobau said Thursday.

According to a police report -- and verified by a recording of the confrontation -- Grubesic first refused to talk with Sgt. Dennis O'Brien and later greeted him and another deputy with angry obscenities.

In case some of you might think they were happy obscenities, no. They were angry obscenities.

I love New Mexico Democrats. They show no second thoughts about piling on one of their own. All I need to do is bring the popcorn.

Gov. Bill Richardson, who appeared with Grubesic at a news conference about an unrelated matter last week, did not want to comment on the latest Grubesic incident, a spokesman said. Richardson has been criticized in the past for ordering his state police drivers to speed, though the governor recently said he no longer would do that.

But the chairman of the state Democratic Party had a thinly veiled suggestion for the senator.

A spokesman for John Wertheim, in an e-mail statement, wrote: "Chairman Wertheim grew up in Santa Fe and considers Senator Grubesic a good friend. (Wertheim) is willing to pick up the tab at Blockbuster if the Senator chooses to rent a certain movie starring Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson."

Goosefraba, my man, goosefraba.
