Suffering. It’s the solvent that strips away easy answers. link Curtis Shelburne At every time of suffering, some well-meaning somebody is around to toss out poorly thought out, nonsensical, and unwittingly cruel “pious” platitudes: “God won’t put more on you than you can stand.” That kind of drivel. Well, God probably did not put this suffering on you at all; you got it by living in a fallen world. “Life” doesn’t — life can’t — care what it does to you any more than the i... Full story

I rented and watched “Paranoia” awhile back, a movie released the end of last year with Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman and Liam Hemsworth. link Alisa Boswell I immediately was curious to look up the lead character’s name because there was no denying the similarities between him and his older brother, Chris Hemsworth, who was made famous by his role as Marvel superhero Thor. I had watched “The Hunger Games,” but with Liam’s smaller role in that movie my brain didn’t make the conn... Full story
Judy Crume, 69, is a Portales painter and potter. I had a few questions for her, and here’s a sampling of what she had to say. link David Stevens Her idea of a perfect day includes “no appointments, no unfinished chores.” “For me a road trip in glorious spring weather to no place in particular — maybe seeking bluebonnets in Texas, maybe to Eagle Nest for a green-chile cheeseburger at Calamity Jane’s with a roundabout way home. My perfect day just seems to need wheels.” He...

The clock is ticking. Thousands of New Mexicans will lose their ability to buy health insurance under the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange (NMHIX) if they fail to enroll by March 31. If they miss this deadline, unless they become covered by an employer or have a life-changing event such as marriage or birth of a child, they will be unable to get health insurance coverage until January 2015. Much has been said and written about the affordability of the insurance plans provided by NMHIX. If an individual is making less...
What is a quick way to cause confusion? Advocate liberty consistently and watch what happens. link Kent McManigal I’ll use myself as an illustration: I am a firm believer in the high value of education, therefore I am not a fan of public schooling, nor any schooling based upon the same template. I hate aggressive violence that threatens the innocent, therefore I actively and publicly oppose all anti-gun laws. I know the necessity of good, safe roads for all aspects of life a...
Call it a tale of two tweets. First, the bad news that New Mexico continues to bleed jobs. Retweeted NM Telegram (NMTelegram): “NM only state in the region to lose jobs in 12 months ending on Jan 31.” Then, a happier perspective: Retweeted Susana Martinez 2016 (ReadyForSusana): “Did you know Governor Martinez cut the business tax rate by 22% to help businesses create more jobs?” The recovery is taking hold. Just not in New Mexico, despite the governor’s campaign tweets. Whatever the spin from Gov. Susana Martinez as she se...
