What's going on, Albuquerque?

Morning Fix

So what else is new? "In less than six weeks, the federal government will be treating New Mexicans as foreigners, as your state driver's license may no longer get you through airport s... I guess we all hoped that the Obama administration would do something to change this before it took effect. Doesn't look great. It seems to me that this could be challenged in the courts, does this strike you as remotely constitutional? Digame.
Dear Judge: Could you please keep this idiot in jail for a long time? We'd sure appreciate it. Love, Albuquerque

Oh, hey kids...we'z still po, but we won't starve...yet.

Tesla is reported to be going public. Doesn't that feel a little like hearing good news about someone you got really serious with, and it ended badly. Tesla, you left us at the altar. How are we supposed to take joy in your happy news? Jerk.

More on the biz front...Cinemark is going to bring us some mighty upscale movie theaters. Plush seats, state of the art everything. Various viewing dimensions. Any bets on over or under $20 for an adult ticket?

And keep her from reproducing?

//Children Youth and Families Department officials said they have been involved with Gallegos in the past for abuse and neglect, but those cases were closed.
They said Gallegos has three other children, who are staying with other family members. CYFD now has a new investigation based on Sunday's crash.//

Sickening.

Comment by Stephanie James on November 24, 2009 at 7:57am: I'm wondering if Cinemark should rethink their plans. Aren't we too poor to go to the movies?

Comment by Cara on November 24, 2009 at 8:02am: @Benny the Icepick: Yeah, what a tragedy. I have four small kids at home and I can't imagine ever risking their safety by drinking and driving. I get so angry when I see this.

Comment by cathyray on November 24, 2009 at 8:33am: What an excellent idea!! Drunk driving with a kid should, indeed, be a felony. Something in me wants to go grab that baby girl & hold her & shower her with love.

Lovin the new fixtress!! good job.

Comment by NxDLamb on November 24, 2009 at 9:17am: The Cinemark XD theater is already here...I saw New Moon on it this past weekend, its only at Century 24. The ticket price was $13 and I think if its a 3D feature the price will be $15...I personally loved the experience, and the movie...^_^...

Comment by Jen on November 24, 2009 at 9:23am: FYI--drunk driving with a kid is already a felony in NM. It's usually charged as 3rd degree child abuse, punishable by up to 3 years in prison.
