One of the Albuquerque Journal’s syndicated conservative voices is coming to Albuquerque. Syndicated columnist Jonah Goldberg is the keynote speaker Friday (Sept. 19) at a breakfast event co-hosted by The Rio Grande Foundation and the New Mexico Prosperity Project.

If you want to hear, or even get Goldberg to answer a few questions (wouldn’t that be something), the event begins at 7 a.m. at the Albuquerque Marriott Pyramid North, 5151 San Francisco NE. The event is $40. For information, call Paul Gessing at (505) 264-6090. For reservations or additional information, visit www.riograndefoundation.org.
