4:07: Well, it was inevitable — Mary Ann or Ginger? (Eddy prefers the latter, and he’s absolutely right)
4:12: The countdown kicks off with #10, a new tax targeting Fido’s and Fluffy’s favorite foods (yes, it’s also an opportunity for Dowd to brag about his beloved Blanquita Lada Penelope Melisandre Muska-Rossi, First of Her Name, Canine Queen of Corrales, Rightful Ruler of the Bosque, Swimmer of the Great Southwest River, The Whitefish)

4:41: The economic-development prospect of interim storage of spent nuclear fuel is our #8 (“environmentalists” are opposed, of course)
4:55: At #7, the terrible year “Spaceport America” had — but then again, every year is terrible for Sierra County’s $226 million white elephant
5:07: The GOP doesn’t want Eddy to crash their party (sorry, hacks)

5:19 Dick Clark’s last broadcast
5:29: “Lights of Albuquerque,” the Norman Petty Recording Studio, and Roy Orbison
5:32: Back to the countdown with #5, Donald Trump’s “stormtroopers”
5:36: Is Tim Keller staying out of the CD1 race because of Hector Balderas?
5:45: The countdown continues with #4, New Mexico’s expensive embrace of the preschool myth (plus, Eddy and Dowd discuss the failure of “hybrid learning”)
6:07: Down to the wire now, with #3, the war on oil and gas
6:18: Coming in at #2, it’s the NM GOP’s bizarre defense of D.C.’s $3.5 trillion bailout
6:33: We reach #1, and this year, it wasn’t a difficult choice
