Late Night Jokes from Newsmax
While talking about the economy, Joe Biden said it's a depression for millions of Americans. He used the word "depression" to describe the economy. I don't know if Mitt Romney has picked a running mate yet, but Joe Biden sounds like he'd be perfect.

Lujan: Ruling by Supreme Court "An important victory for the people of New Mexico"
Ben Ray Lujan |
“For too long, families and small businesses in New Mexico have seen their health care costs skyrocket as they continue to pay more and receive less. The ranks of the uninsured grew while insurance companies continued to deny or drop coverage for those who needed it most. That is why President Obama and Democrats in Congress took to action to pass health insurance reform that ends the insurance companies worst abuses, expands coverage, and takes steps to bring down costs for hard-working New Mexicans.
“Today’s decision by the Supreme Court to uphold the law is an important victory for the people of New Mexico. Young adults will be able to remain on their parents’ insurance plan, those with pre-existing conditions will be assured that they will have health insurance, and seniors will continue to pay less for prescription drugs and receive free preventive care.
“It is now abundantly clear that the Affordable Care Act is the law of the land and that the people of New Mexico will continue to benefit from its many important provisions.”

Pearce: Repeal the Healthcare "Tax"
Steve Pearce |
“I have long believed that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2011 was an unconstitutional overreach by the President. ObamaCare is a violation of our individual rights and an expansion of federal government power our nation’s founders would have found unfathomable.
“The Supreme Court, which has the responsibility of interpreting the law, found this overreach acceptable as a tax. While I do not agree, I respect its authority to make this interpretation.
“Since day one, the Obama Administration has denied that his law was a tax on the American people. Yet, the Obama Administration will claim victory, when all this law does is assess a greater financial burden on hardworking American families and small business owners.
“ObamaCare puts government bureaucrats between patients and their doctors, hurts small businesses and creates trillions in new government spending that will add a huge new weight to our already overloaded deficit.
“We need to get back to work on repealing this ‘tax’ and reforming our healthcare system. These reforms must be focused on protecting patient access to the care they need from the doctor they choose.”

Lying Pays Off, Sure It Was a "TAX" All Along
Believers that it was not a tax |
Of course, when the duplicitous lawyers in the Obama administration went to court, AFTER THEY GOT THE VOTES in Congress, they did exactly what Obama was unwilling to do when he first duped Congress into passing the monstrosity of a tax increase.
In one of the greatest twists of irony in the history of the U.S. ..... today the Supreme Court gave the Democrats the ONLY constitutional basis for the law it had. The majority said despite all the denials from Obama, that the mandate was a TAX. The only way they could rule in favor of the law was to call the president a liar.
Another irony of today's ruling is how the progressives universally trashed Chief Justice John Roberts for months leading up to today because they believed he would rule against them. You see, anyone who is even suspected of ruling against progressives is too "political." In the end Obama's lawyers actually snared the Chief Justice with one of their contradictory arguements. It was something that they only wanted the court to consider as a last resort because they had already publicly denied the premise.
In the end, what progressives wound up with was a victory based on a lie. But what the heck. It's a win right? You see, any words you might say don't actually matter anymore, just as long as the federal government gathers more power. That is the objective.
And in one final and amazing twist of irony, it was the Bush appointee John Roberts who found a convoluted way to let the Democrats have it both ways. In his opinion, Roberts contradicted the president's repeated denials when Obama argued vehemently that the mandate was not a tax increase. Then Roberts turned one hundred-eighty degrees and legitimized the entire scam that was made possible by blatant deception. Shakespeare was right about lawyers, and this country is dominated by them.

Obamageddon? Judgment Day Has Arrived
Having spent his first 14 months in office on achieving Obamacare, for the former constitutional law lecturer to see his signature reform declared unconstitutional would be a humiliating blow.
In ramming the bill through Congress, Obama failed to secure a single Republican vote, thereby shedding his campaign image as a bipartisan uniter. Although passing the bill was a legislative victory, the reform itself has proved to be a political millstone. The censure of Holder, in which a number of Democrats are poised to join Republicans, would also be a major embarrassment because Obama has claimed executive privilege, something he blasted his predecessor George W. Bush for doing. Read full story here: News New Mexico

Alamogordo Water Supplies Damaged
The Alamogordo City Commission declared an emergency at Bonito Lake on Tuesday night because of damage caused by the Little Bear fire burning in the area, a necessary step in receiving federal assistance to repair the lake.
"This is required as part of the FEMA process," said utilities director and interim Public Works director Brian Cesar. "FEMA will be in Alamogordo on Thursday morning to begin the process for the flooding and debris we had deposited at Bonito Lake last Friday."
Cesar said the city stopped drawing water from Bonito Lake on Friday. He said the lake was continuing to be drained Wednesday and was about 9 feet below the spillway. He said divers were going to continue working on the lake Thursday. Read full story here: News New Mexico
