What's on George Brauchler's "Busy" Calendar, You Ask?

  • 14 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

UPDATE: Looks like Team Brauchler fixed the “busy” problem. This is the second time we’ve done troubleshooting for Brauchler’s web presence, and we need to re-evaluate lest we be accused of making an in-kind donation. Lots of competent web talent out there…they just don’t work for George Brauchler.

—–

If you visit the website of Colorado Republican gubernatorial candidate George Brauchler–which appears to be somewhat easier to find via Google now after spending some cash to loosen his opponents’ grip on his own name in search queries–one of the top-level menu selections for visitors is Brauchler’s Google calendar. When we first ran across this calendar, we had every intention of complimenting Brauchler for being so up-front about disclosing his schedule as a candidate for the state’s highest office.

That is, until we looked at it:

For a relatively unknown candidate running in a crowded primary against well-funded challengers, George Brauchler has an awful lot of free time on his calendar, don’t you think? For example, he appears to have nothing whatsoever scheduled for this week. But that’s not the weirdest part: from what we can see, the events present on Brauchler’s calendar aren’t identified in any way except for a one-word description: “busy.”

Don’t get us wrong–we’re glad that Brauchler is at least occasionally busy! But why on earth would you go through the trouble of publicly embedding your calendar on your campaign website if there is no useful information in it? It’s more than just a waste of website space, it’s a waste of your site visitors’ time. And it’s the kind of avoidable amateur thoughtlessness that invites basic questions about one’s competency as a candidate.

Our advice to Brauchler: find some stuff to do. Add some descriptions to the stuff you’re doing.

That, or take your Google calendar offline. Because this doesn’t make you look good.

    1. I think the point is that he shouldn't have this on his website if it's mostly empty and has no information other than "busy." Brauchler looks like a dumbass.

  1. You folks all know that "busy" is the default setting on google calendar, right? You can uncheck a setting and it will show each entry as entered in the calendar. 

    As they say, what we have here is a failure to communicate…

        1. Well, as long as it's not your kid in the morgue, you can be smug.  I've had a close friend raped and murdered.  And, yeah, I think there should be some kind of punishment attached to it.  

          1. I'm content to see people behind bars for the rest of their lives.

            Capital punishment doesn't deter crime, costs more, and won't bring your friend back. Plus, as we've seen time and again, its implementation is notoriously racist and prone to prosecutorial malfeasance. 

             

            1. The best evidence that capital punishment does deter crime is that if you say it doesn't one more time, I'll kill you!  OK, just kidding.  But it made you think!   There is no doubt it prevents any future misbehaviour.

              But the main thing is justice.  It's just wrong for the worst of the worst to get celebrity status and spend the rest of their lives laughing at their victims

              When you murder 12 people and wound 70 more, you ought to at least be held accountable.   If executing a dozen monsters like Holmes saves at least one kid's life, it's worth it.
