-Kevin Hasett - Bloomberg News - If Democrats wonder why their political fortunes have shifted so much, they should study the appointment of Craig Becker (left) to a body that adjudicates labor disputes. It captures everything that is wrong with the Obama administration in a nutshell. Republicans should study the case of Becker as well, as it illustrates everything that is wrong with Washington. Democrats should run from Becker; Republicans should run against him. Read more here:
Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi (left) took aim at President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (right) Wednesday for not leveling with Iranians about the effects of U.N. Security Council sanctions that were passed last month. "To say that this resolution is like a "used hankie" will not ease the hardships arising from demagogic policies, as it is clear to me that this resolution will affect our nation's security and economy," Mr. Mousavi said.

From the Albuquerque Journal - By Matthew LadnerRio Grande Foundation - Is demography destiny? If so, say some experts, states with growing Hispanic populations seem doomed to fail, weighed down with ineffective school systems and abysmal test scores. One academic recently predicted states like New Mexico will become the "Appalachia of the 21st Century." He based his prediction on well-known statistics concerning the dropout and low achievement scores of Hispanic students. Nationwide, Hispanics drop out of high school at appalling rates. When they do graduate, they have achievement test scores roughly equivalent on average to eighth grade Anglo students. How about it New Mexico: Are you going to accept this fate for your children and your state? States can overcome this challenge. How do we know? Florida. Startling statistics show that with abundant school choice and systemic education reform, Florida's Hispanic students already eclipse the average academic performance of many states. Read more:
By Frank Dubois - The Westerner - Daniel Schorr, whose aggressive reporting over 70 years as a respected broadcast and print journalist brought him into conflict with censors, the Nixon administration and network superiors, died on Friday in Washington. He was 93...more In July of 1974 I went to work as a Legislative Assistant to Senator Pete Domenici.On August 9, 1974 Richard Nixon resigned his Presidency.Several of us staffers sat with Domenici in his office and watched Nixon's resignation speech. Just as the speech ended, CBS called Domenici and wanted him to come to their studio for an interview. There were several senior staffers there, but for some reason Domenici asked me to drive him to CBS (I later figured out that since I was the last person to go on his staff from NM, Domenici figured I had been least influenced by the system and most accurately reflected the views of New Mexicans, especially rural New Mexicans, on Nixon).When we arrived at CBS they put us in a waiting room which 
was surrounded by tv monitors. After a short period of time a CBS employee came and took Domenici away to get his nose powdered for the tv appearance.That left me in the room alone. Keep in mind that at this point I had not quite bought into the media bias thing.I was watching the monitors as they interviewed Ronald Reagan who at that time was the Governor of California. In walked Daniel Schorr, chief White House correspondent for CBS. Schorr looked up at the monitors, saw Reagan being interviewed, and with a hateful scowl on his face said,"Burn, Ronnie baby, Burn."I remember thinking, "You know, there might be something to this media bias after all."That thought has been mightily reinforced over the last thirty-six years.
This morning Herb Torres (left) Associate Superintendent for Operations - Las Cruces Public Schools will be our guest on News New Mexico. Torres will offer his observations and comments regarding the Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Herb will talk at length about the financial impact on LCPS of the decision made by the Las Cruces City Council to stall the privately funded road extension of North Sonoma Ranch Boulevard. 
The mystery man to News New Mexico listeners since July 7th when Mayor Ken Miyagishima first confirmed his offer to build a two mile extension of North Sonoma Ranch Boulevard is John Moscato (left). Moscato raised four children in the Mesilla Valley along with his wife Fran. Moscato developed much of the land around Picacho Hills Country Club (PHCC). 
Though he was not the original developer of PHCC he did pay for the entire upgrade of the old two lane road leading to PHCC into a four lane road. Moscato has offered (along with partners) to pay for the entire extension of North Sonoma Ranch Boulevard. He will explain his views on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams at 8:00am on News New Mexico Monday morning at 8:00am. Moscato will be followed by LCPS Associate Superintendent Herb Torres on Wednesday to shine more light on the puzzling blockade that is stalling the project. One mile from the end of the proposed four lane extension is a stranded golf course (above), which has also been held up from use by local citizens and visitors by a long series of City Council delays.
