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)

4:20: Coming in at #9, Albuquerque’s very long shot at U.S. Space Command HQ, and the city’s refusal to disclose what it promised the Pentagon
