I have just been informed that a website http://huckabeemomentum.com/ is trying to raise money for Mr. Huckabee’s presidential bid.

The jist of it is very simple. They are trying to raise $10,000 by having people donate a mere $25.00. Here’s the kicker, you only have to pay if  the 10,000.00 goal is met. If they fall short, you are not obligated to pay.

Please visit their site to get all the details.

I have not really gotten into who is running for president, yet. But so far I am really liking Mike Huckabee. He seems to be a very honest and upstanding guy. I’ve only read very little about him, but I like what I have read so far.

He seems to be really interested in technology and reducing dependence on foreign oil. These are things that go hand in hand and need to be explored to the best of our abilities.

He also like to promote a healthy lifestyle. As made evident by his Healthy Arkansas initiative. And he has a very good reason to promote this lifestyle, since he was diagnosed with type II diabetes.

I think he is a man worth checking out and voting for.  http://www.mikehuckabee.com/

This is great news. It looks like we have “won” this battle for the most part. I heard on kkob 770am radio that they are not going to build the fence in Otero canyon that would have restricted much riding and hiking. I can not find an official press release and am only repeating what I heard on the way home from work tonight.

This is great news for all of us bikers and hikers.

Mayor Chavez gave the city of Albuquerque a “B+” for it’s response for snow removal. No wonder our schools rate exceedingly low in performance. A “B+”? Give me a break. To me, that would mean most streets were passable. Well, they were if you had a 4 wheel drive vehicle. All week long, I saw accidents due to ice and snow. Four accidents were within 200 feet of each other.

How can he think they did that good of a job, when the schools have been closed for a week, DUE TO ICE AND SNOW ON THE ROADS! That high of a grade would mean that there was very little left on the roads.

I give the citizens of Albuquerque an “A” for the fact that many rented equipment and paid for it themselves, to clear off the streets! The city will probably sue them, claiming they wrecked the asphalt. 

Ellison and Washington streets were scraped by a local company that rented a front end loader. He also scraped our driveways and parking lots. Thank You! The Smiths in the Mountain Run shopping center, was cleared by a non city worker. One guy had a plow on the front of his quad and worked on clearing Malaguena and other streets in that area along with a gentleman and his own front end loader!

Yet the Mayor couldn’t think “outside the box” enough to equip our city vehicles with removable plows. Mr. Mayor, I give you and the city a “D” for how the snow removal was handled. Oh well, at least our city workers had a good break and are rested for this whopping 2″ we should get today. Wouldn’t want city workers to earn their pay or anything.

BTW, I’ll gladly take the ticket for the snow on the sidewalk in front of my house. That is if an officer can get there with the 3 inches of ice covering my street, still. Maybe, the city can scrape my street so they can come by to give me a ticket.

So I just received an email from a coworker, that referenced a law in Albuquerque that says residents are to keep their sidewalks free from snow. Here is a copy from the local news.

Turns out that the driver, Mr. Pabst, got on the freeway going the right way and missed his exit. So he made a u-turn and started back, going the wrong way.

So these spike strips, that Gov. Richardson wants on the offramps, would not have prevented this accident in any way. Unlike he claims they would have.

This is such an obvious and sad example of using a tragedy to try and advance his political career.

Due to a horrible accident, the other night, Gov Richardson wants even tougher DWI laws. Well, he just made them tougher not that long ago and that didn’t seem to help, did it. Now he wants spike strips on freeway offramps so people (more…)

Oh well. It’s not like it will stay this way forever. The dems sure better follow through on their promises to do something in Iraq. Even though no-one knows what that something is, besides “pull-out”. Pelosi is already saying they will pass a tax cut for the middle class. Well, if their leader, Bill Clinton, couldn’t do it (remember how hard he worked?) then what makes them think they can? If they do it, then good job, but I’m not holding my breath.

What the heck?! John Kerry said he “Should’ve gone to 1600 Pennsylvania ave and killed the real bird with one stone.”

So Mr. Bill, you’ve been bragging about all the jobs you’ve created in New Mexico (which is laughable at best because the only jobs you can create are government jobs) what will you do about all the jobs loast at Intel and now AOL? Are you taking credit for loosing those as well?
