‘Vengeance is mine,” sayeth The Lard

Cucurbita clamantis in deserto.

The ever-vengeful Pumpkinhead has croaked $135 million worth of energy projects in the Land of Enchantment, part of his Punishment Tour of the Blue States.

A spokescreature for the Department of Energy said it had decided these projects did not “adequately advance the nation’s energy needs, were not economically viable, and would not provide a positive return on investment of taxpayer dollars.”

As one might expect, Sen. Ben Ray Luján, a Democrat, sees things differently.

“Let me be clear: President Trump is using his own shutdown as a tool for political retribution — targeting energy projects that create good-paying jobs and help lower costs for families. The president is taking jobs away from hardworking New Mexicans and jacking up costs for New Mexico families.”

The New Mexican‘s story wanders off to describe a few other effects of the federal-government shutdown on our fair state, from thousands of furloughs to unpaid salaries to parks left unattended and vulnerable to vandalism.

Well, the rest of the country has been left unattended and vulnerable to vandalism since Jan. 20. Why should the parks be any different?

  1. Well, something or someone will stop him from doing his vengeance and retribution tour. The asshole is predictable. Maybe the peace prize will shut him up. He just can’t stand that Obama was better than him in everything, in work and life.

      1. It does keep his ears apart, for sure. I’m surprised that swollen orange dome of his hasn’t made an appearance in the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. Then again, some of the local brown folk might consider using it as a piñata, or maybe for sighting in their deer rifles before hunting season.
