Not forgotten

While Ned has been practically incommunicado for several days, on undercover assignment as he is in his Undisclosed Location in the wilds of northern New Mexico, he wishes to assure his perhaps nervous followers that he has not forgotten them. Upon his return to Home Base on Tuesday he will have more pithy and prescient remarks to make on the global, national, and, yes, local scene. For today, suffice it to say that Ned has been following the Governor's race in New Mexico with some interest, and learns that both candidates favor denying illegal immigrants the right to a driver's license. They also favor punishing employers who knowingly hire illegals. This is good news to the otherwise bleeding heart Trotskyite Ned because he feels there are too few decent jobs for Americans, and the reason immigration apologists can claim that 'there are jobs here that Americans won't do' is clearly because there are desperate people here illegally who will woek for peanuts, thus undercutting the opportunities for citizens.
Some of Ned's less logically orientred readers may disagree but Ned would advise them to, with the greatest respect, shut up.
