Recently, KOB News reported that the DingleBerry Express[1] has shut down, at least temporarily, due to COVID-19 hysteria —
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- The City of Albuquerque continues to adjust services to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
“It’s very serious and important that we all as a community work on some of this,” Mayor Tim Keller said
Public transportation will begin operating on a Saturday schedule, starting March 28.
The mayor also announced Albuquerque Rapid Transit (ART) service would be suspended on March 28.
“The ART route, that whole thing will stop this weekend,” Mayor Keller said.
Never mind that the DingleBerry Express (some call it “Albuquerque Rapid Transit” or “ART”) isn’t anything more than an overpriced remaking of the Central Avenue “Rapid Ride.”
If you look at video clips and photographs of the DingleBerry Express busses, you can see “766 RED LINE” and “777 GREEN LINE” on the top of the buses’ front ends. Just like on the “Rapid Ride” that preceded the DingleBerry Express.
In fact, the “Rapid Ride” “Blue Line” (Route 790) still exists, and still uses the same sort of buses that the “Red Line” and “Green Line” used before the DingleBerry Express was created.
The best case that we can expect from this is that the ad hoc demolition derby along Central Ave will be put on something resembling a hiatus until at least Easter weekend (Friday, 10 April 2020), as that’s when the Governor’s “shelter in place” order is supposed to expire.
“The local 66 route will continue. That’s a part of the Saturday operating schedule.”
So Albuquerque’s Number One rolling bad neighborhood and disease vector continues its operation. Just wonderful.
As for city parks, Mayor Keller said they will be open but playgrounds will be off limits.
“The state is asking people not to go to parks, there is an exception I believe for exercise,” Keller said. “We are officially closing all our playgrounds.”
The mayor said the Albuquerque Police Department can enforce the governor’s stay-at-home order.
That last line there is what separates Albuquerque’s First Crook Tim Keller from his freelance comrades.
Mind you, this schtick of Keller and Lujan-Grisham isn’t new in any sense. It’s the same attitude displayed by French King Louis XIV when he said “L’etat, c’est moi” [“I am The State,” in other words, “My every utterance is law.”] and had the phrase Ultima Ratio Regum [“the final argument of kings”] cast onto the barrels of the cannon fielded by the Armée royale française — “Do what I tell you, or my guys will point this cannon at your home and light it off.”

Shots fired?
Anyone else hear what sounded like about 15 pistol shots coming from west of 80th / Tallado and St. Josephs? The time would have been about 9:10 PM.

Sage advice here. Ah, but for COVID-19 . . .

Honestly, I think the thing that amazes me the most, is what seems to be a resurgence in men that don’t go down on women. In fact, I bet there’s a man reading these words right now that’d sooner lick a bunghole that put tongue on clitoris.
Or the number of women that tell me they’d just as soon men stop trying, because they won’t listen.
This is the wrong answer, America.
We are living in the age of the bare muff. For you to forsake this tasty and satisfying meal now, of all times, is just goddamn tragic.
Women, be firm but easy with your men. They are often both rather delicate and not very bright.
Men, listen to your ladies. Just this once. I promise, it’ll only make you more heterosexual and masculine, and totally not the opposite, no matter what some popular rap DJ’s have to say.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
- Posted to Facebook [ page, profile ], Quora, Spreely [ page, profile ], and Twitter –
Q: Without appealing to emotion or using ad hominem attacks, how can I convince conservatives that gun regulation is a good thing?
A: If by “gun regulation,” you mean more restrictions upon those of us who own firearms for the sake of “saving lives,” “stopping crime,” or whatever other buzz-phrase du jour, well, you can’t convince any principled conservatives (or principled libertarians such as myself, for that matter) that your proposed “gun regulation(s)” are anything resembling a good deal.
Why is that?
Because We The Conservatives and Libertarians recognize that We are NOT the problem in any way, shape, or form.
There are anywhere to 330,000,000 million to 1,000,000,000 firearms in American hands, depending upon who you ask. About .0001 (0.01 %) of those firearms are used by people to kill themselves or others.
So what you’re saying is that because of ONE TEN THOUSANDTH of the American people, the rest of us simply must surrender liberty and property upon your demand, so that you can have your warm-fuzzy feel-good moment where you “got something done” and “made a difference” ?
NO, THANKS
Feel free to shove that notion BACK where the sun doesn’t shine.
