There’s lots going on in the blogosphere today, but much of it has to do with Albuquerque Mayor-elect Richard Berry and the fallout from him resigning his legislative seat days before the special session begins.

Last week Gov. Bill Ricardson and U.S. Sen. Tom Udall announced that they’re applying for funds to study the feasibility of creating a high-speed rail line from El Paso to Denver, through Albuquerque. SFReeper.com has an interesting post about two other high-speed rail plans for America.

I want to start today with news about local “tea parties” coming to New Mexico. Paul Gessing, writing on New Mexico Liberty, has the info on the upcoming Albuquerque Tea Party and says a Santa Fe event is also in the works. These are massive gatherings being organized across the nation to protest wasteful spending and the nation’s economic direction.
