Friday, August 17, 2007Big Bill Asks New Mexicans To "Invade" Nevada; Could We Do Texas First? Also: Nevada Guv Aide Booted Over Brothel Past, Plus: More Eyeballs On Ethics![]() So when the Guv called for invading Nevada with a caravan of New Mexicans the weekend of September 14th, we swept aside the inconvenient fact that he was asking for a political invasion of the Silver State to drum up support for that state's January caucuses. After all, for over four hundred years New Mexicans have been on the receiving end of invasions; wouldn't it be nice for us to do some invading of our own? Maybe Governor Bill would permit the caravan a side trip to Texas where we could do some payback invading before heading up to Nevada. It might be not of much help to his Prez campaign, but it would do a whole lot for our self-esteem. BROTHELS & BAD CHECKS ![]() The now ex-Richardson aide toiled for a time at Mona's Ranch which may have the blue noses all in a titter, but his real offense was shorting the hookers on their pay. They promptly complained to Elko, Nevada police, but no charges were filed. We're glad to report he did not write his bad checks to the working girls. They were the result of "business transactions gone bad." Too bad for this fella, but it's best he's gone. He's not meant for D.C. Everyone there knows the #1 rule of etiquette is to never short your hooker. EYEBALLING ETHICS ![]() But another R, former ABQ State Rep. Rory Ogle, says he agrees with Dem leader Sanchez that an independent ethics commission to oversee legislative behavior is not needed. "I am not in favor of a separate commission that can be used as a political weapon. The Legislature has an ethics committee where any citizen can bring an ethics allegation against a member..Having served on that committee, I can say they take their work very seriously and have the ability to punish one of their members. Punishment can range from a public reprimand to impeachment," contends Ogle. Maybe all the lawmakers are on their best behavior because we don't hear very much from that committee...
