Thursday's Body Count in Murder City: 5

News New Mexico miscounted. The murder total in Juarez was 22 on Wednesday, not 16. Our apologies to anyone keeping score at home. Yesterday there was tragedy in Ruidoso when a plane crash killed five people and critically injured two others. Comparatively it was a relatively quiet day in Murder City. There were "only" five murders across the river. We are waiting for a press release from Mexico's President Felipe Calderon hailing Thursday's relative lack of murders in Juarez as an early sign of how effective his government is at taking care of the side of the border where he does have full jurisdiction. Unfortunately there is a rumor that no statement will be forthcoming on the murder count dropping to five because Calderon is busy with his advisers composing his next denouncement of Arizona.
