Dawg Houze bartender Jennifer Kirby pours a rum and coke Thursday afternoon at the bar. Owner Chad Heflin said Sunday liquor sales were three times what he anticipated them to be in the bar's first two Sundays open. Portales city councilors are unhappy after learning that Sunday liquor sales include bars as well as restaurants. "I think it would have really affected the outcome of how people voted," said Councilor Dianne Parker, after being told of the development at a council meeting Tuesday. "That's not saying it would...

Dear Gov. Susana Martinez, May I call you Susana? Or maybe even “Suzy?” I know we have not formally met. By “met,” I mean we have not been in the same town at the same time, ever. No problem. That’s the way I started out with your predecessor. By the end I was stalking him at public appearances, clapping him on the back, and saying clever stuff like, “Big Bill, how sails our Ship of State?” The governor would chuckle in that engaging way of his and say, “Oh, it’s you again!” And then he would call security. There are...

I’m running for president on the Green Tea Party ticket. Since we also support Willie Nelson’s Tea Pot Party, I’ve asked him to be my running mate. With Gary Johnson as our campaign manager, our “Tea for Three” platform advocates legalizing partying between consenting liberals, moderates and conservatives — and outlawing stoning old hippies for giving peace a chance. There are certain questions that Willie and I will refuse to answer on the grounds that voters care about real issues — and because they might inc... Full story

By denying a permit for the Keystone XL pipeline last week, President Barack Obama may succeed in delaying until after November's election the politically difficult decision of which loyal constituency to offend, big labor or environmental activists. What is more certain is that the political maneuvering to deny a permit for the controversial 1,600-mile pipeline from Canadian wells to Texas refineries has an immediate, deleterious effect: It costs America thousands of jobs. The president's decision is contrary to consumer...

Robert Berman, CEO of Cinium Financial, writes about a challenge for small businesses. The headline had it half right: Small business disdains government. But the real story from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce survey forgot the other half. The more important half: How government disdains small business. And we know that because most small businesses cannot do public work. They do not even bid on it because they do not have the credit to start most government jobs. Seems strange you would need credit to do something that makes...
