Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas. For a touching and informative story on the real meaning of Christmas, check out Jim Scarantino’s column in today’s Albuquerque Journal. Unfortunately, I have no link because I couldn’t find it on their site. Anyway, it is fantastic.
Also, be sure to tune in to AM 1550 from 9am until 10am in and around [...]

Arena Football League goes on hiatus: another potential tenant for Albuquerque Arena up in smoke

Once the holidays are over, Albuquerque’s City Council will again be discussing whether to pony up close to $400 million and raise taxes in order to finance an arena. We at the Rio Grande Foundation have long questioned the need for a taxpayer-financed arena or events center, particularly who would actually play there. Possibilities have [...]

Congratulations and Good Luck Governor Richardson

Governor Richardson has officially been named by Barack Obama to head the Department of Commerce. While I’m sure he would have preferred the State Department (and the Commerce Department has no constitutional function and should be eliminated) this country faces too many economic problems not to give Richardson our best wishes for helping the Obama [...]

Will Congress Bail out Oil and Gas?

Our elected officials have a way of taking advantage of Americans’ poor memories. As Robert Higgs points out, it seems like only yesterday that executives from the oil and gas industry were hauled before Congress and berated for supposedly “gouging” consumers. Fortunately for American motorists (and other energy users), prices continue to drop and, not [...]

Voting Commentary

I’ll be discussing the election results on Albuquerque’s KUNM public radio station 89.9 FM and Artesia’s KSVP 990AM. Tune in!

Are you Liberal, Conservative, or Perhaps Libertarian?

Albuquerque’s weekly periodical The Alibi had an interesting (and balanced) story on the Nolan Chart. The Nolan Chart is a popular political quiz that allows those who take it to get a better feel for where they stand as far as the popular terms “liberal,” conservative, libertarian, or even statist.
So, before you cast your vote, [...]

Wouldn’t it be nice?

Over at Town Hall, citizen activist Paul Jacob has compiled a list of the top 10 ballot measures on the ballot nationwide this November. Sure, we are voting on the Rail Runner (ex post facto) of course, but wouldn’t it be great if citizens could put issues they want on the ballot?
Here in New [...]

Jonah Goldberg Wrap up and Blogs

If you missed our breakfast with Jonah Goldberg, you missed a great event. Don’t believe me? Just take a look at a few of the comments posted by local bloggers. Here are the thoughts of Gary Wolf over at AWOL Civilization. Harold Morgan over at Capitol Report had this to say on the Capitol Report [...]

Jonah Goldberg Tomorrow

In case you have been completely out of the loop for the last few months, you are probably aware that we are hosting a breakfast event with prominent conservative columnist Jonah Goldberg tomorrow (Friday morning) in Albuquerque.
With someone as prominent as Goldberg in town, particularly during a heated election season, we have seen some interesting [...]

Rio Grande Foundation release new legislative tracking tool just in time for special session

Keeping track of what is happening in Santa Fe during the legislative session can be a real chore. Special interests, media outlets, and those with highly paid lobbyists are often the only ones capable of keeping on top of what is going on. Worse, even if you can track how particular legislators are voting on [...]
