Now you see what you went and did? Every bored New Mexican is going to wander along to tell us how wonderful their state is now.

I will definitely second Ephraim's green chili suggestion. When I'm in the Land of Enchantment I try to include it in every meal.

Five electoral votes for Barack Obama. How'd KY vote?

Posted by: Ken | 05/04/2009 at 10:11 AM

Kentucky generally votes by marking an "X" on the signature line and then doing whatever Mitch McConnell told us to do that morning on the radio.

Actually the atomic bomb was created in Chicago. New Mexico just blowed it up real good. Anyone could do that.
