Even a blind Hogg finds the occasional acorn.

From the department of "A Stopped Clock is Right Twice a Day" comes this notification that it's one of those times.


When you're getting pushback from leading gun control proponents, you might have overreached.

Gov. Lujan Grisham has done stepped in it. I mean, one of the foundational principles of leadership is "never give an order you know won't be obeyed" and, uh...
Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman, who once served as a Democratic party leader and was appointed by Lujan Grisham, on Saturday joined Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller and Police Chief Harold Medina saying they wouldn’t enforce the order.

“As an officer of the court, I cannot and will not enforce something that is clearly unconstitutional,” said Bregman, the top prosecutor in the Albuquerque area. “This office will continue to focus on criminals of any age that use guns in the commission of a crime.”
I don't know what she saw as the upside of this. She's freshly re-elected, but term-limited, so she'll be looking for work come 2026. There're rumors that the senior senator from NM might be eyeing the governor's office come the next election cycle, so maybe she wants his job? I dunno, though, I can't see this playing well in statewide elections in that fairly purple state.
