Thank goodness the Albuquerque Journal is on top of Saguaro-gate. In a front page, above-the-fold article, the top news of the day is the criminal misuse of saguaros in a political ad that points out Heather Wilson’s close alignment with Duhbya. I note there was no argument about the facts in the ad, just the graphical error.

Will the Journal be exposing the shocking fact that major advertiser, American Homeland Furnishings, sold coyotes wearing bandannas, something never seen in the wild?

If you want the finest PR unlimited funds can buy, vote Republican. If you are tired of the same-old fear tactics, stay-the-course and admit no errors, vote Democratic. mjh
