new mexico mayor and police chief arrested for running guns to mexico


and in more drug news, krqe news is reporting that in the border town of columbus, new mexico, the mayor, chief of police, and ten others have been indicted for smuggling guns to mexico.  no one is officially saying that the guns were destined to arm america's beloved high suppliers, but the atf and dea conducted the raid.

the death toll in mexico attributed to the drug war has been estimated at well over 28,000 since presidente calderon began battling with cartels in 2006.  meanwhile, here in the u.s., the price of mexican dirt weed remains steady.

  1. Who's winning the war for the plazas of Northern Chihuahua? Well, here in Deming (a town where the majority of the Hispanic residents trace their roots to Chihuahua) a new restaurant just opened, it's called "El Sinaloense" The place sits empty most of the time. It's purpose is to serve notice, although the mariscos are pretty good.
