There are only four shopping days left for the GOP to get a replacement for Obamacare.
YeaaaaahhhhhNO . . .
. . . the zombies have figured out that they can combine next year's tax cut debacle with the corpse of Obamacare repeal and use reconciliation for the whole damn cemetery. . .
https://newrepublic.com/minutes/145025/newest-plan-revive-zombie-obamacare-repeal-dumbest-yet
. . . And, why not — since, Obamacare repeal has never been anything but a massive deficit-fueled tax-cut package for the ultrawealty dressed up in the GOP's very best garter belt and nylons???
Much like seeing them chew gum and walk at the same time…..
Being bipartisan with the most anti-democratic, militaristic, ignorant, divisive, and destructive president in history- and his supporters in congress – is immoral.
Breaking — Bernie Sanders is an "immoral" LINO: . . .

. . . Oh No's – Say it ain't so Bern-o !!!!!!!!!
Zappy needs to call him out on that…..
Yo, Zappy…..it looks like Bernie is starting to eat up that bipartisanship stuff you like to accuse M. Bennet of spouting.
Sanders has always worked across the aisles. As an Independent, he was in a unique position to do that. He got plenty good stuff done by amendment to legislation proposed by either side.
It's a little late to be calling him out for being too bipartisan now.
Joking aside, I personally don't feel we have to demonize or demean the other party in order to say that their policies are ineffective, morally and ethically bankrupt, or just plain wrong.
A good read…
Stop Using Pat Tillman.
Note to der Leader: you're doing it wrong
Here's some help for the next generation Michael. I didn't want you to miss this: http://www.thecannabist.co/2017/09/25/pot-zero-vail-valley-marijuana-farm/88651/
That's a great story. A lot of focus in the industry is shifting towards regenerative practices. The Organic Cannabis Association was formed here in Colorado by two really neat young men and they have recently merged with the Ethical Cannabis Alliance forming the Cannabis Certification Council.
Young people get it – and want to be part of this new ag crop in Colorado. We call Xmas tree and poinsettia cultivation agriculture – there is no reason to pretend cannabis production shouldn't be treated the same way. I can grow corn and make whiskey (or high fructose corn syrup); I can grow potatoes and make vodka (or french fries). I can grow wheat and barley and make beer (or bread). Want to draw young kids back to small towns? Have rural counties lift the moretoriums on cultivation. If we were proposing a craft brewery the local county commission would fall all over itself welcoming the new business into town with open arms.
At last count over 18,000 (generally younger) Colorado citizens are employed in the industry. It's projected that by 2020 the industry will employ more than the entire manufacturing sector.
Really proud of what we're doing here in Colorado on both the industrial hemp side (my main focus) and marijuana. We are setting the pace and the narrative on the national discussion. It's well past time to end this trillion-dollar debacle, the War on Drugs and think about these challenges in a very different way. The experiment isn't legalization; the experiment was Prohibition – an utter failure.
Nice piece on industrial hemp in The Daily Sentinel
"by 2020, the industry will employ more than the entire manufacturing sector….." I'd rather see a comparison to employing more than the oil & gas, and coal industries.
C.H.B. – here's how solar compares to OG&C (374,000 v. 187,000 nationally). When MamaJ is finished opening minds for the day I bet she'll have some input from her COGA chart that debunks much of the industry hype (and I think she has the direct jobs number). In the meantime, this article provides some numbers you might you to extrapolate:
Debunking the gas industry’s pitch
The 2012 Leeds study was the last time that I can see that the CU school of business was honest about gas and oil jobs in Colorado.
If you look on page 12 of that study, you see that there were only 26,853 jobs directly employed in the oil and gas industry in extraction and support, another 2,402 direct drilling jobs.
Everything else was somebody working in an office entering data, or selling leases, or adjudicating something, or driving a tanker, or working in a gas station. That's what they call "induced" jobs to drive up the job count to 111,476 jobs.
It's what our dishonest Governor used to make his case that we shouldn't limit gas and oil development in any way in order not to impact "Colorado's energy economy".
You were right about photobucket not doing free image hosting anymore, Michael. I still haven’t found a site (except postimage, which doesn’t seem too secure), that hosts images for free or cheap. So I can’t post the charts from photobucket, Tinypic works OK, but seems fussy.
Here's a piece on Germany that will warm your renewable energy heart…
Germany Breaks A Solar Record — Gets 85% Of Electricity From Renewables
That 18,000 number ought to be compared to the $3Billion in incentives that conservative wünderkind and Koch ballwasher, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker just ponied up for the hoped for wet-dream promise of 13,000 Foxconn jobs . . .
. . . (btw, for kicks and coughs do the per job math on that "conservative" deal) . . .

I'm reminded of back in the '80's when Ed Meese took over as A.G., there was a nude statue in the DOJ lobby near where press briefing took place. He had the department spend thousands of dollars on what was glorified bedspread to use as a drape to cover the statue when Meese held pressers.
Ashcroft did that.
I got my RWNJ mixed up. It was Ashcroft who put the drape up. Meese unveiled his National Obscenity Commission report standing next to the naked statue.

You try it: Explain to children that we are not actually at war with North Korea, even though our President says that he plans to totally destroy North Korea, and North Korea's top diplomat says that Trump declared war "on Pyongyang".
Explain this news story:
White House Denies Declaring War on N. Korea
Try it. I dare you. Double dare you. Something never before seen will happen to you if you don't try it. Fire and fury. Maybe.
Or maybe nothing at all, just hot words.
This is the guy who criticized Obama's "red line" in Syria?
Kids,
please pay attention now, this is very, very, very important . . .
Your parents voted for a man for President who's a fucking loon.
The leader of North Korea, who your parents didn't vote for, is also a fucking loon.
When two loons get all excited, they flap about wildly and also make strange sounds that really make no sense to anyone, it's just looney lunacy.
Moral of the story: don't automatically believe anything you hear from either of them (even though it may sometimes kind of sound like words); when your time comes, don't vote for fucking loons; and please, please, please, for you own sakes and the sake of every other kid on this planet, tell your parents to stop watching stupid shit on FOX before they do permanent damage to their brains . . .
Any questions???
😄 Nice. Sure wish I could get away with that.
their parents do watch Fox or Telemundo, but they get most of their misinformation just surfing on Facebook.
Here's something we have had bipartisan agreement on– corporatism.
Praise the Lord……
