i predict that musharraf, richardson, and hendry are going into the movie business together. they're going to get a $15 million loan from the state and make 'bordertown, the musical" starring val kilmer.

Gene, thanks. Very true about the look on Warner's face.

absolutezero, I have a call out to a local foreign service retiree here in NM re: Ferdinand Marcos. I'll update the story again if/when I hear back.

I was literally falling asleep when I saw this last night. I then proceeded to laugh out loud for about 5 minutes. Amazing. Someone told me today that Marcos has spent time in New Mexico after leaving the Phillipines. Anyone hear about that?

Good catch David.

I just about gagged when he said that. What doesn't come across in the transcript was the look on Warner's face and her tone when she responded, "New Mexico?" Nor her lovely bit of hesitation that followed. It was a riot.

I can only imagine how many New Mexicans watching from every corner, all saying out loud, "what?!"

I know I did.
