A NEW NM POLITICAL BLOG

The latest voice in the New Mexico political blogosphere is Mario Burgos, a New York native now living in Cedar Crest. Check out his new blog, subtitled "Clear thinking and straight talk from the top of a mountain."

So far he's done posts about DWI, Bill Richardson, E. Shirley Baca and the war against canines.

You can catch up on Mario's blog while Joe Monahan tries to make good on his threat of a Christmas vacation (although the news of Larry Ahrens' departure from KKOB was too much for Joe to resist). My favorite recent Monahanism was this one last week:

I don't care if Shirley Baca is found in the arms of Judge Brennan making mad passionate love amid a heap of coke and weed, we are slowing this sleigh ride down for the holidays

.
And don't forget, my own Roundhouse Round-up column can be found here every Thursday -- though I'll be taking a break from work myself between Christmas and New Year.
