Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Now that we are in the New Moon, Leo, you have to work on letting go of balls and chains that hold you back from being productive. Such as that daily $10 per day designer energy drink habit. It gets you so hopped up that you think that you can do trick dance moves that otherwise would be reserved for...
Missionaries find a welcome in Gallup
Gallup has always welcomed visitors, of any rank or significance down to the utterly desperate. Some arrive in expensive cars, some in beat up jalopies, but all find a welcome that in the writer’s experience is not always easy to find in other venues.The road to Gallup for most has been Historic Route 66, up until the time I-40 was finished. For Dave Pickett, his personal road was not nearly as wide or straight before he came here.
It was a friend from Sri Lanka – a former Hindu priest converted to Christianity – that first sparked the interest of Pickett to this area.
Dave had traveled through before, taking a road trip from Oklahoma to Los Angeles on the Mother-road, or...
Maybe We Should Eliminate All Symbols of Socialism
Gallup’s PCP (politically correct police) recently created a fervor of outrage by taking umbrage to a tiny Buddhist symbol of peace (as well as other benign historical uses), a sawaustika, placed among other symbols on the Spaniard coat of arms El Morro Theater logo. It looks like a propeller or whirligig to me but apparently some associate it with the German symbol of National Socialism, the swastika, although backwards.

Letter to the Editor: GOP’s genocidal policies at work
Editor,
Along with the 2016 presidential election, after its August Congressional recess, hearings will resume with this notorious Republican agenda: 1. Abrogate all treaties signed between the United States government and all 566 federally recognized tribes; 2. Dissolve all established reservation boundary lines; 3. Begin the plunder of the vast natural resources that lie under our feet (water, uranium, coal, gas, oil. etc.).
After the mass killings of millions of Indigenous peoples the U.S. government and military placed us on the “Bad Lands” dubbed “reservations” in the hope that its genocidal policies would wipe us off the face of the earth, however, we stood our grounds...

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
The fabulous birthday Leo would like to sink his claws into the lowly hunter that took down your kindred spirit, Cecil, and put a damper on your birthday season. Imagine you’re Cecil and armed with a 500 Nitro Express Holland & Holland … Wait, Madame G doesn’t condone the use of violence to deal with stupid humans. He’s being tried and convicted in the court of public opinion – the ultimate payback.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
If you’re wondering whether the glowing blue moon has turned your neighbors into bizarre creatures the answer is yes. Each one of them seems off kilter, carrying on in a strange fashion, such as mowing the lawn at 3 am. You wonder...
