Current mood: amused
So while it seems that Mayor Berry’s Keynesian BS-and-blue-sky scheme titled “ABQ The Plan” seems to be on hold for the time being, it seems that there’s a concerned citizen “out there” among the populace ready to step up with a substitute plan.
Why, the author of the transcribed pamphlet (see below) that I found today was even willing forgo getting the glory of authorship by serving as a ghostwriter for Mr. Berry!

Hello! I’m Albuquerque Mayor Richard J. Berry, and it’s my pleasure to address you now, in this informative and boldly printed tri-fold brochure.
I hope you are having a wonderful day, living and working in this wonderful city of ours – the Duke City – the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico!
As you know, this lovely city we call home has been growing, and growing, . . . and growing! And it’s not as easy as it may once have been for a mayor to speak with all his voters.
We hold regular town halls, yes, but not everyone can make it out to them. I often speak and take calls on 770 KKOB, the “Voice of the Southwest,” but, believe it or not, not everyone remembers to listen in!
And so I came up with an idea – why not print up some nice, glossy, full-color booklets, for free distribution to the citizens of Albuquerque – booklets that describe, in detail, some of my ideas for the future of the city? And then send one to everyone in town! We have some money left in the P.R. budget, so why not?
At first my staff agreed that this was a good idea, but once I began sharing my actual ideas with them, they thought perhaps maybe some sort of black–and–white brochure, quietly handed out only to a few of the really important voters would be a better format for all of these truly amazing ideas that I have. And, since they’re the experts, I took their advice. So here we go! Here are some of my . . .
REALLY GREAT IDEAS . . .
FOR . . . ALBUQUERQUE!

I. Infrastructure
- More park benches.
- More park trash receptacles.
- More park bathroom facilities.
- More handicap ramps and better handicap access for all parks.
- Lease small areas of the city parks for various businesses to operate booths, selling needed items to needy park-goers.
- More parks.
II. Public Health
- Outlaw masturbation in all parts of the city, even in private homes, except for in specially designated “masturbation zones.”
- Convert all public city parks into specially designated “masturbation zones.”
- Launch an extensive citywide advertising campaign reminding everyone to go on out and “Get in the Zone! Right now! Do it!”
- Encourage people to turn in all private masturbators into the police. Remind people that if they don’t, they themselves may be suspected of being unlawful, private masturbators, their property may be seized, and they may face considerable fines and jail-time.
III. Public Safety
- Require everyone to masturbate in a designated zone / park at least once a day.
- Build massive walled labor camps for all accused non-zone masturbators.
- Create a new, highly-paid police force solely to arrest and imprison private masturbators, people fleeing the city, and all those who refuse to masturbate several times a day in the designated zones.
There is hope for the city yet! With your help, I can forsee a future in which every Albuquerque survivor is either held securely in a work camp or happily masturbating in a park. Working together, we can do this! We can make this dream real! We can!
