Our low profile, no controversy mayor has just released new plans for the Richard Berry Bosque Access Center (RBBAC) with the fifty story riverfront Disney Hotel complex and the Aldo Leopold Memorial ten-story parking structure, sculpture park, and miniature golf metroplex.
The project is slated to be built in the next two weeks before anyone has a chance to ask any unpleasant questions. Contractors from Arizona have all been chosen, so don’t worry your pretty little head about all the noisome details.
When you visit el Rio Grande, as surely you must, be certain to take the well-groomed crusher-fine pathway to one of many NRA-sponsored river overlooks where you will be issued an assault rifle, sponsored by the NRA, and fifty thousand rounds, sponsored by the NRA.
See those birdie things overhead— those turkeys, or pigeons, or whatever they are that go quack. Think of them as flying dinner. The hotel chef will prepare the birds in butter sauce this very evening.
If that doesn’t just thrill you, please do take your ammo and your weapon and follow the well-designated directions to the coyote and prairie dog shoot. If you get the most varmints, you will be rewarded with a cupie doll that looks exactly like our mayor.
We are all in favor of monetizing the bosque. It’s what we are all about, and, according to our very own polling firm, almost no one is against our marvelous plan. The few lousy citizens who are against us are also crazy-loon kooks who think nature is more important than money. We do care about the environmental thingie, though. And remember, please, as you park, as you shoot, and as you dine: In wilderness is the preservation of whatchamacallit.
UPDATE: This Saturday the Albuquerque Journal made a good pick when the paper endorsed Isaac Benton for the Council’s District. The Journal praised Benton’s ability to compromise as one of the chief reasons why the paper supports the progresssive councilman, certainly not an ability cherished by opponent and Berry- appointed Council member Roxanna Meyers who, as we have noted, is the puppet doll of constituent Jerry Ginsburg, the guy buying himself the race who is the real candidate behind Rox and who has laundered his PAC money to blast Benton with inaccurate and downright false charges at the eleventh hour in the attempt to force Benton into responding to the narcissistic ravings of Harvard grad. and elitist prince, Mr. Ginsburg. One such charge is that at some time in the past Ike Benton has accused Meyers of belonging to the Tea Party, a charge that I am certain will shock and disturb District Two residents much more than the truth of Ginsburg’s attempt to rig the election.
It seems perhaps that someone at the Journal has been reading the Merc., perhaps. While the paper has not bothered to continue covering the exceptionally disquieting doins of the queen-maker Jerry Ginsburg, now that the story has broken in our very own Mercury, perhaps folks at the Journal want to distance the paper from this ongoing sleaze bag of a story. Or maybe it’s just that the Big J simply does not have the resources to report on something as unimportant as a citizen who wants to buy an election for his puppet candidate. Be sure of this though, if Meyers wins the District 2 contest, the Mercury and this reporter will continue to cover this story and the untoward business that is making this local contest look like an ethics circus.
