The House of Representatives will vote as soon as today on an additional $162.6 billion for the war and occupation in Iraq. The bill includes $66 billion for fiscal year 2009. This means the funds for the occupation will keep flowing well into the next administration...The new bill would bring the total for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to $859 billion. We'll just charge our Chinese Visas for that one, boys and girls. By including fiscal year 2009 funding, the House leadership is effectively taking the war off the congressional agenda for the rest of this year.

Cyclone Death Toll Could Top 100K: A U.N. official predicts the number of deaths could rise dramatically in cyclone-stricken Myanmar.
JUSTin from Barack Obama: We just won a decisive victory in North Carolina...Indiana remains too close to call. But what is clear is that we did much better than all the pundits predicted, despite Republicans changing parties to support Senator Clinton, believing she would be easier for Senator McCain to defeat...Here's where we stand: As of Tuesday morning, we needed just 273 delegates to clinch the nomination. When the votes are fully counted Wednesday morning, we will have gained more than a third of them in a single day. We have a clear path to victory. Monday, May 05, 2008

HAPPY DARK OF THE MOON JUSTin from SpaceWeather.com:-> If you see a meteor flit across the sky tonight, it could be a piece of Halley's Comet. Earth is crossing a stream of dusty debris from Halley and this is causing the annual eta Aquarid meteor shower. Sky watchers in the tropics and southern hemisphere (where the shower is most intense) could see as many as 70 meteors per hour during the dark hours before dawn on Monday, May 5th, and Tuesday, May 6th. The show is diminished at northern latitudes where rates may be 15 meteors per hour or less. MERCURY AND THE MOON: Innermost planet Mercury is emerging from the glare of the sun and putting on its best show of the year. A good time to look is Tuesday evening, May 6th, just after sunset when the crescent Moon glides by Mercury in the darkening western sky. Founder of Psychedelics comes full circle...Dr. Albert Hofman's dream of re-studying LSD as a cure and ease for adults entering death, has been approved in Switzerland the same week that 102 year old Hofman entered death... Not such a happy dark of the moon for those survivors of the Myanmar Cyclone/Typhoon. Saturday, May 03, 2008

Tonight in the dark, you can not see the ridges of the Manzano Mountains glowing orange in the dry hurricane winds fanning the flames of a five million dollar fire now and again raging out of control south of Albuququerque, New Mexico...You can not know the pain of trees on fire. Tonight I swear by the diamond sky that the latest Tom Petty effort with Mudcrutch truly is a great album. There is this one song called CRYSTAL RIVER that takes away the pain of mountain forest fires and lulls one into the safety net that the future may be free one day of our country's current president...And how many of you know that in the state of Florida there really is a Crystal River and it is clear and fabulous? Thank you for Tom Petty and the simple pleasures of guitar riffs and such. Thank god that time goes on and that we are further and further away from these first eight years of 2000 and beyond... Bless what you have accomplished in these past 7-8 years. Is it valuable? So much loss. So much pain. So much. Thank you for Crystal Rivers, nightcrawler worms and thank you for anyone who creates art that can move us forward... Wednesday, April 30, 2008
Distributors of a gadget sold in Albuquerque claim that their device in the past 31 years has been 100 percent successful in thwarting car thefts. Full Article .
Released yesterday the new Tom Petty with MUDCRUTCH cd ROCKS>>>There's a catfish or two along with plenty of shiny bass and bream...Well worth buying this gem of fresh retro chaos...Lover of the Bayou gives us hope for life after Bushie...

ON A MONDAY... A.P. Headline seen this past weekend: PENTAGON PREPARES IRAN OPTION... We've said it for years in this very blog, that the only way to ensure another four year Republican term is to bring on the shock and awe again...No wonder David Bowie sings loud and proud in this concert video from Dublin, Ireland (2003), I'M AFRAID OF AMERICANS... I'm Afraid Of Americans lyrics by David Bowie/Brian Eno Johnny's in America No tricks at the wheel Nobody needs anyone They don't even just pretend I'm afraid of Americans I'm afraid of the world I'm afraid I can't help it I'm afraid I can't I'm afraid of Americans Johnny's in America Johnny wants a plane Johnny wants to suck on a Coke Johnny wants a woman Johnny wants to think of a joke Johnny's in America Johnny looks up at the stars Johnny combs his hair And Johnny wants pussy in cars Johnny's in America, I'm afraid of Americans God is an American Yeah, I'm afraid of Americans I'm afraid of the words I'm afraid I can't help it I'm afraid I can't I'm afraid of Americans Johnny's an American  We saw this Lambeau Cruiser south of Albuquerque on US 47.  This Chevy sits on a Corvette chassis, front like a '57 Chevy, side like a '58, rear like a '59.  Built by N2A Motors (No Two Alike). Lists at $40,000. Friday, April 25, 2008
TGIF Lasik eye surgery has left more than a few patients with fuzzy vision. Federal health officials are holding hearings on this topic of interest for the unlucky few who do suffer life-changing side effects like poor vision, painful dry eyes, glare or problems seeing at night. [Call us square but we're sticking to eye glasses]. Baby Scent is a new perfume. No really it's true and it's not just for pedophiles either. Conjuring up memories of happy peaceful newborn bliss, the new perfumes feature odors of 'violet', 'cumarine', and 'musk'. When you smell it, you smell baby skin, so they say. With the same font seen on Johnson's Baby Lotion bottles, comes the fragrances named Insolence, Sensi, and Baby Powder. Ooh Sensi, your baby powder smell is sending me over the top of my crib. Better buy lots of RICE KRISPIES this weekend as there is a rice shortage. This is not good for those suffering from Celiac Disease who have rice as a staple in their diet. Costco and Sam's Club have set limits (80 lbs. a visit!) on rice buying. While this is somewhat humorous in the US of A, riots are taking place in locations across the world as wheat and now rice are not as readily available as in the past. New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson took on Captain Carville on Larry King this week. Carville thinks Bill screwed over Billary. The Gov. is now off to Venezuela to free the captives. Thank God he still has his trusty beard. Columbia's tallest active volcano blew last week and is currently in a state of percolation. Only 150 miles from Bogata, this is not a good thing. Mother Earth is ready to rumble. Maybe you have noticed: Alligators almost never get sick. Their super immune systems, with abilities to ward off virus and bacteria, are now being studied by scientists. GO GATORS, beat them Seminoles. A dude in Bosnia has had his house hit by five meteors in separate episodes. Astrogeologists are now testing a theory that local magnetic fields are attracting the rocks from outer space to crash through his roof rather than the theory that aliens are attacking this man for his huge hidden Bosnian babe porno collection. Chatting while urinating: Eli and Peyton Manning were found by a waitress in the same cubicle in a men's restroom...What were they doing? Peeing together while having a brotherly conversation. 300 miles to the gallon:that's what the new Aptera automobile auto is said to get. Raising money for a spiritual rest stop for truckers by floating off in a chair tied to helium balloons, has caused a priest to disappear. 'tis true. Also true: we're all gonna die. Happy Friday. Thursday, April 24, 2008
Latest return of the Phoenix Lights deemed to be a hoax...An unidentified man created Monday’s Phoenix lights using road flares and balloons. He used fishing line to attach the flares to helium balloons. He said he then launched them from his backyard. NOW if only the PHOENIX SUNS can rise like flaring helium balloons this Friday night and win (at least) ONE of THREE playoff games against the SPURS, we'd have something better than the real thing.

The Associated Press projects Hillary Rodham Clinton the weiner of the Pennsylvania Democratic primary election. Guess she won't BEGONE quite yet. Damn the electric fence. 
As Earth Day gives way to Earth Night, here are some time-wasting links for you: Earth Day Appropriate Toy! Schipperke Working the Tractor We are now halfway through Passover (Did you know that? Did you care?) ... Japanese Passover Help And then there's ...Arrested for Dancing in front of Jefferson No, really!  Earth Mother Earth mother your children are here High and feeling dandy Earth mother your children are here Ripped on coke and candy Once the earth was a garden It gave us all we need Then it grew so barren All because of greed Once the air was for breathing And clouds caused rain to fall Then it filled with poisons Strangling us all Water was once for drinking And giving life to the land Then it was used for cooling The machinery of man It's not your fault you're ill now It's the men who went before Your children are at your side now Don't worry anymore Your children are your salvation They see your life as their own They recognize no nation They dance around your throne Dancing in the meadows To the sound of a living tree In and out of the shadows Laughing with the breeze [from the Paul Kantner/Grace Slick album entitled, SUNFIGHTER] Monday, April 21, 2008
We took these photographs of fires south of Albuquerque in the Manzano Mountain range...Ironically, we took a roaring drive through these very mountains just last week [see 'Open Roads' entry below]. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the folks of Torreon, N.M. and surrounding areas...GUSTY WINDS MAY EXIST...and they are not helping these fires.    
WHERE'S GEORGE? I found another one dollar bill marked up for the WHERE'S GEORGE ? series...My wrinkly bill has been around...Kind of nerdy but fun; easy to register then you can list any Where's George? bills you may come across...Check out:-> Where's George.com. Or, don't. Sunday, April 20, 2008

Happy FULL MOON Weekend I want to believe is the most likely name for the next Sculder and Mully X-files Movie. Been meaning to go to togetherwesavedtheplanetlastweek.org but why bother? Wecansalvetits.com might also be a good one. The World's Largest Gathering of Native Amerikans on the planet comes to Albuquerque for the 25th year this week...More info:-> Gathering of Nations. Latest studies show that THE JET STREAM [great name for a band] is predicted to be much further north in coming months...This indicates a very dry period for the Southwest and an AWESOME HURRICANE SEASON...Whoo hoo...We're all gonna die...It's true you know. Read it in The ALIBI...The Simpsons has been banned in Venezuela and replaced by Hawaii Baywatch. Bikini clad surfers more childworthy and educational than Homer, Bart and the Springfield crew. At least we still have The Albuquerque ISOTOPES .  Our favorite NBA team went down today in the first of the NBA playoff games. 'twas a close finish in double overtime with the Spurs over the Suns 117-115. The second of best of seven series comes this Tuesday night competing with the Transylvania Election campaign chaos...GObama and Go Sunnies... Friday, April 18, 2008
 Dreamin' of Summer Just bought our tix for one of the many upcoming summer concerts and today we're thinking of cool breeze summer evenings with musack and refreshments a-plenty...If you can afford to go these days, the concert dates for summer events and festivals is piling up...There is HOPE for ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD... First up though Neil Young will be missed at the Crosby, Stills, Nash concert coming June 24th to Albuququerque outdoor Sandia Casino Amphitheater. We once saw Ringo Starr play there with howling winds almost blowing his speakers off the stage...Not a bad seat in the house though and we are looking forward to seeing: CSN without Y... It will be a night of memory lane music...CSN Tour Dates  Older than the Stones? WILCO and LEO KOTTKE and a few zillion other folks are coming to town before summer vacation. We'll keep you informed but meanwhile check out Amp Concerts for more info:  The most comprehensive concert tour date source is POLLSTAR.com. Just type in Albuquerque and GO...It will show music for all venues in one spot...Nice these days that there ARE a bunch of Venues in 'burqueville.
JUSTin:-> 5.2 earthquake rocks large area of Midwest; no major damage. More to come? Someone told us this week that if a major terrorist attack occurs in our country (again) , they'd want Johnny McSwain as President...Do we want a Republican as president for the next Katrina or Earthquake? Natural disasters are on the rise (again) and Bush has been his own natch disasturd. Wednesday, April 16, 2008
THE INTERNET IS GONE!! Tonight, the citizens of South Park are freaked out and one family heads to California where the rumor is that the Internet is still alive...See South Park video clips . If South Park's not your cup-a-joe, then (brought to you by Midol and Dulcolex Stool Softener), there's the BIG one on one DEBATE...All the while, the Pope's nearby and we're safe and sound in our private confessionals. Tibet's Dalai Lama didn't quite get the Pope treatment that Laura and W are conjuring up for the former altar boy and Nazi Youth Corps dude...Happy birthday. Tuesday, April 15, 2008
Happy TAXing POPEday Sure today blows (gusty winds may exist) unless you are rich enough to let someone else do your tax preps or you already applied for an extension, at any rate dream a little by checking out the new lineup for this fall's Austin City Limits Festival. Oh, God Bless us all; the Pope, too. Blow winds, come wrack... Kind readers please note that one of our esteemed East Coast representatives of fresh chaos, Col.Dr.Xjet, sent us that aforementioned link for ACLF-'08 along with this scribbled (much as you can scribble online) message regarding the linkage :CLCIK ON THE TREE AND THEN IT TAKES YOU TO THE acl WEBSITE TRRE WHERE YOU CLICK ON TH BANDS AND HEAR THEIR SHIT. PRTTEY COOL
Pope Benedict arrives alive in the U.S. today for his first visit as pope. President Georg W. Bush has now met with popes five times, a new and ironic Presidential record. Read about Benedict's visit . Monday, April 14, 2008
 A self-portrait at 100 m.p.h. Jeff Hartzer's Corner Window from Albuquerque's South Valley Ink #016, April 2008 Open Roads If you are tired of hiding at home from the dusty Spring winds, here’s a suggestion to take a quick road trip that may make it worth washing your car or motorcycle. While it may still be a little cool to take your super cruiser north to Taos, Red River, and beyond, consider this outing to be a warm-up for things to come. This is a perfect circle tour that is easily done in three hours (or less, if you trust your radar detector and just want to blow out the cobwebs). At any rate, you won’t see many County Mounties or Smokies on this circular journey. As circles go, you can make this trip in either direction, but my preference is to climb out of the Valley heading north on I-25, then circling east onto I-40 toward the watermelon-colored Sandia Mountains. After zipping through Carnuel with a peek over at the mountain arsenal of H-bombs to your right, exit at Tijeras onto South 14 (aka, State Road 337). By the time you pass by Roosevelt Middle School, you’ll have completed the most boring part of your journey and even that wasn’t so bad, now, was it? The two-lane stretch ahead of you is a rising, circling sweep through the mountains to an elevation even higher than ‘Burqueville. If you brought along the family pet, there are several quick pit stops for the canines. You’ll pass through forests and open spaces and the vistas out your window will change with each turn in the road. One surprise out along here is the number of farm sites and land that is currently “For Sale”. If there is good news in that, there might be some bargains for your dream retirement home along this curving road through these hills and dales. Blink or sneeze and you may miss the towns of Escabosa and Chilili, which will pop up and disappear before you. Beware flying cans of cold drinks in your back seat as you brake for the truly sudden Stop Sign at the intersection with State Road 55, which barrels west from Estancia. After cleaning up the whizzing Coke cans, you take a true 90-degree, square-assed turn to the mountains. Ahead of you lies Tajique, as well as the Manzano State Park, just beyond Torreon and Manzano itself. If you have the time and desire, take a rest stop at the two Salinas Pueblo Missions, including the ruins at Abo and those at Quarai. Hope you brought the camera for some tourista shots. Take your time, as you are more than halfway home already. In the town of Mountainair you can dine at the Historic Shaffer Hotel or spend the night if you dare. State Road 60 slides you around the southern part of the Manzanos and whips you back to the westward swing home. Shortly, you take a right onto the familiar State Road 47. Turn up your music, cuz this is a sweet ride on good old 47, through open spaces toward Belen where you can hit I-25 or continue on 47 through Valencia, Peralta, Bosque Farms, and Isleta Pueblo. Quick, we gotta go potty! We’re back. Welcome home. Jeff Hartzer © 2008 Saturday, April 12, 2008
Saturday Wrapup This week the POPE comes to town....How will he distribute 57,000 communion wafers? Where will he be the night Laura and Gee Bush serve up Bavarian food in the White House on his birthday (hint: he won't be with them) ? Hope all goes well for the Pontiff...Also hope he is flying Papal Air and not Amerikan. Go Pope...The last Papal visit was with John Paul (not named for the Beatles) in 1995. Simpler times then. Wanna see Hillary Clinton when she was working at WAL*MART...click this link: Public Integrity dot org . In 2005, New Mexico was NUMBER TWO behind only Louisiana (yes, those Katrina days boosted their ratings through the roof), for the highest rate of injury-related deaths. From 2001-2004, we were number one! This scale of death runs the gamut of motor vehicle wrecks, drug overdoses, homicides and suicides. Go Nuevo Meheeko. Over two hundred folks attended a Town Hall Meeting this week in Albuquerque. Sponsored by the Marguerite Casey Foundation and locally by the United South Broadway Corp. the meeting was a great success. Hopefully the voices heard this week will resonate and grow stronger as the group sends representatives to a larger meeting in California (Septemeber '08). Listening to the 200 folks who had plenty to say about their lives in 2008 after seven years of the current administration were our Mayor and City Councilman...   Albuquerque Mayor Martin J. Chavez and Councilor Isaac Benton Friday, April 11, 2008
 Albuquerque Isotopes The 'topes play their first home game tonight in Albuquerque. It's gonna be a brisk night out there under the lights...Go Isotopes. Wednesday, April 09, 2008
Gusty winds may exist... Coming to the high desert :-> Northwest to north winds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 45 mph are expected to develop early Thursday morning across the middle Rio Grande valley. The winds will persist through the afternoon hours, impacting Farmington, Gallup, Grants and the Albuquerque metro area. Persons travelling through the area should be alert to strong cross winds and reduced visibilities in areas of blowing dust. Motorists should exercise caution while travelling in the wind advisory area. Sudden gusts of wind may cause you to lose control of your vehicle. [Ahhhhh...! And today, it actually RAINED for the first time in, oh about three months. Whoo Hoo.]

Hope you are not flying American Airlines today as chances are, you won't be taking off. They have canceled 850 flightstoday after American canceled nearly 500 flights on Tuesday. Looks like the early loser in this wire check fiasco is Southwest who was made to ground flights early but has now seemed to pull through the legal rig-a-ma-rolls...Ding! Next up...Delta, United, and [insert airline name here]. Tuesday, April 08, 2008
As a Florida Native, Capnchaos hereby salutes this date of April 8th,1513...Why? 'cause it's the very day that fighting mosquitos and water moccasins, Juan Ponce de Leon claimed Florida for Spain. Whoohoo. Go Gators, Seminoles, Jaguars, Buccaneers, Dolphins, Hurricanes, Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, Jax. Suns and all the other teams that love the penis-shaped state cuz it has good weather for sports, fishin', and cold brewskis.
Satan Seen at Gas Station The DEVIL at a Phillips 66 gas station in New Mexico causes man to lose it and a 90 mile PO-LICE CHASE ensues. This guy according to the teevee report, saw the devil in the Phillips 66 sign and went berserko. Monday, April 07, 2008
March Madness has given way to April Agony and the Kansas Jayhawks are the NCAA champs. Possibly the most black men the state of Kansas has ever seen, with the exception of the KC Chiefs, who play, technically, in the state of Missouri. Our favorite quote of the game: "Loose balls are killing this team." And what's up with the new State Farm ads? "Hi, I'm some doofus standing in a circle of bright red blood. State Farm was here." [Col.Corn of Kansas comments re: the Jayhawks...“Possibly the most black men the state of Kansas has ever seen”...What kind of bullshit is that? Have you ever been to Kansas? There are a lot more black people in Kansas than there are in New Mexico. We'll have to get over to Kansas soon and check out the racial splendor. Heck of a basketball game anyway you look at it.-Comment received 4/8/08]
Monday Night Chaos SUNSET ALERT: When the sun goes down tonight, step outside and look west. Weather permitting you'll see a slender equinox crescent Moon hanging above the rosy glow of sunset. Framed by the cobalt blue of early evening, the Moon reveals its "da Vinci glow" or Earthshine, a pale impression of the full Moon inside the vivid crescent--a beautiful sight. Consider it an appetizer for Tuesday. On April 8th, the still-slender crescent passes almost directly in front of the Pleiades star cluster. Also known as the Seven Sisters, the dipper-shaped Pleiades are visible to the naked eye even from urban areas and they look wonderful through binoculars. Tuesday evening's delicate conjunction of Luna and the Seven Sisters should not be missed. Oh and by the way, contestants in NASA's 15th Annual Great Moonbuggy Race have crossed the finish line. Stephen Colbert is one of the top five finalists on Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential list! Do your civic duty and make him number one! And then, there's that FINAL TWO thing tonight...Go JH's...
