After 9 hours of beating around the bush and 12 months of “tweaking” the legislation to assure CEA policies will continue to lead Colorado’s 40 year effort to “reform” education the House passed.
CEA policies have had the effect of taking nearly all rights and dignity from both students and teachers. As stated so eloquently in the following statement, “I have never seen them so angry,” said Beverly Ingle, president of CEA, in reference to teachers they engaged to oppose this bill. “They have no rights. I have people fearing for their jobs.”

What’s the reaction of McInnis and Hickenlooper? Would they sign this bill in its gutter form?
It still needs to pass the house.
And if/when it does, we need to then stay on top of this and demand that it be well & fairly implemented.
Glenn Beck hucksterism goes local:

Change can be a real mother fucker.
maybe 30000 Angry Old White People managed to drag themselves from the Country Club & Klan meetings to attend that pathetic rally you posted. 200000+ from all parts of American Society filled the National Mall.
FAIL.
Quite the opposite, in fact.
and raise you three primary elections. This also from AP:
that the old Rialto Theatre and Interweave Press (which publishes arts and crafts books) were bastions of subversive socialist insurrection.
But honestly, the loony-tunes conservatives in northern Colorado look like they’ve finally lost whatever tenuous hold they had on reality. They are certifiably batshit crazy. And very entertaining to watch.
I agree the noco tea partiers are somewhat entertaining to watch. But you gotta keep an eye on the batshit. I feel like it’s hipdeep already and smells reeeeeeely bad.
http://www.denverpost.com/busi…
Providing some bizarre-logic political cover to the Administration the AP stated the following:
Holy shit batman, what if the other 8 million Americans living with unemployed under Obama but “off the books” come back and start challenging Illegal Aliens for a paycheck? Unemployment could rise well into the teens, but short of its actual real level.
While cherry picking at that. How about including the rest of the report?
When people who’ve stopped looking for work see the economy picking up steam after a recession, they flood back in to the job market, increasing the unemployment rate.
Oh – you missed a couple of other tidbits, too. Prior months’ job growth was revised upward, with February revised upward by 53,000 (to +39,000) and March revised up 68,000 to 230,000. And the Census worker hires were 33% lower than expected, further popping the unreality bubble that some conservatives seem to spend their life within.
Because maybe their benefits were extended? To 99 months for some?
Greece is a vision of our unfortunate future, I’m afraid.
Maybe 99 weeks. That’s about 2 years.
and maybe that of Portugal and Spain. However, Greece’s biggest lender is Germany and it hasn’t hit them terribly. Why ? Because they have a huge economy like we do in the US.
The economies of Greece and the United States bear almost no comparison.
the size of Greece’s economy is similar to that of Michigan, to put it into perspective.
of Michigan’s unfortunate past, present and future, I’m afraid.
It’s so unpopular among German voters that Merkel’s been dragging her feet to wait until after the election on Sunday in the North Rhine.
A Rhine voter’s feelings regarding Merkel agreeing to bail out Greece:
I don’t think that was a compliment.
private lending from Germany, not public.
I’m surprised he didn’t blame it on Bill Clinton

Forced to actually report what’s going on at the capitol, the Post’s daily capitol walk around had this to say.
“Just in case?” Just in case of what, that the People demand accountability now that government pay and job positions have now crossed the threshold along with the 51% of Americans that are net tax receivers?
Or is it just in case McInnis or Hickenlooper wins?
Just in case some worker hating moron like McInnis, or even worse, Maes, should get extremely lucky and become governor.
Any concern these clowns have for “workers” is only in the principle that Adam Smith espoused whereby the “owner” is entitled to a portion of the productivity of the worker.
I don’t believe you, McInnis, Maes, or any other Republican gives a good rats’ ass about any worker except to the extent that you can exploit their labor for your own profit. The more workers you can bilk…the higher your profit.
The Republican Party has been busy exploiting working people for decades. Your bullshit doesn’t change that dynamic. How about the many workers killed and injured in the Big Branch Coal mine explosion? Wanna bet how many of the management there are Republicans? Do you suppose their sloppy safety practices were designed to protect workers? No, just their bottom line.
Do you give a flying fuck about the workers missing and presumed dead at the Deep Water Horizon inferno? You don’t care any more than the management of BP/Amoco, John Boehner, Rush Limbaugh, or any other asshole corporatist whose ONLY concern is profit.
God, you fuckers make me sick.
DON’T have a nice day.
Wage freezes, pension cuts, tax hikes and massive entitlement rollbacks. You’ll be right in there regardless of who wins the mansion.
Democrats failed socialist policies and overreaches will result in you entering the street alongside the Tea Party crowd … the issue will be your fear as you venture into a wave of old people with your petro bombs and they return home to grab their sidearm and extra clips.
America’s coming attract is in this video unless our President curtails his leftist rampage across the nation.
50 says 100 you can’t stop yourself, the confiscation and redistribution policies you’ve begun.
The political class and ruling business elite will be lit up and you’ll be waving the Gadsden for fear and old Tea Party lady might learn you’re part of the problem.
And we’re going to redistribute it to (hiss) black people and illegal immigrants.
Better move to Idaho quick!
Send us a postcard, will you?
from the Daily Camera we have Dave “you vill show us your papers – schnell” Schultheis
What is it about right-wing nuts that they’re against big government, but then turn around and want a police state taking actions that violate the constitution.
boycott Boulder over this have much to do with Boulder in the first place. It’s kind of like asking progressives to boycott Rush Limbaugh.
You don’t think Schultheis likes to soothe his nerves with a nice hot cup of Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime tea? And how’s he going to get through those long committee hearings without his Raspberry Zinger? He’s suffering for this cause.
How thoughtless of me. There goes a true hero?
This is really interesting – when machines can replicate themselves. We’re headed to the point that you will be able to download things. In another 30 years you will be able to download an iPhone.
This will be a major societal change. Right now all information is instantly available anywhere. As these devices get to the point they can make most anything, and object will be instantly available anywhere.
for energy-to-matter conversion, then we’ll really be in business!
Self-replicating machines have long been the big buzz in nanotechnology. For an over-the-top flight of imagination concerning the possible pitfalls of creating self-replicating and evolving microscopic machines, read Michael Crichton’s novel Prey.
Just kidding.
The mechanical implant and/or genetic modification that allows us to link to the internet with a thought, communicate with anyone, and access all of the world’s information and information processing software seamlessly with our other thoughts. It’s only “the Borg” if you can’t turn it on and off at will!
People will be able to make cheap plastic shit at home. Stuff with copper wiring, Li-ion batteries, and silicon chips? I remain dubious that it will ever be economically viable.
But have you read up on the solar cells produced by Nanosolar? Pretty cool technology and fits with your theme.
just say “not in the foreseeable future.” Or, in this case, “not any time soon” (I think it’s definitely foreseeable; come to think of it, that’s why we’re talking about it…).
I used to read Popular Science when I was a kid, too.
It’s the twenty-first century already. Where are the freakin’ flying cars?
yes… if you have $194,000.

And Orbitz has a hovercraft.
Liam Neeson’s best work, until Star Wars Episode I.
…when I saw what was going on with music.
I missed this one, but my “Next Big Thing” prediction – OK, not next – is insurance for bungled teleportations. You know, “Beam me to Glasgow, Scotty.” And your right arm comes out on your nose.
It’s probably been ten years since IBM was able to move a molecule to another, (molecularly) nearby spot without it ever being somewhere in between. Point A to Point B.
Teleportation.
it doesn’t pass the smell test. It could be the bigges heist in USA history. It warrants a major investigation.
So maybe the conflict was more personality based after all?
The bill is headed to the Gov’s desk replacing the director with a board, but the DP story was more about the personalities than the legislation. It didn’t say what amendments Speaker Carroll conceded to or what the composition of the board would be. Like most political reporting, it was about people not policy.

Talk about PC.
“Hello, ACLU?”
undermine smart applications of the idea clumsily trampled on.
Authentic cultural sensitivity is a good thing, and not always in abundant supply in the United States. This was just stupid (and possibly unconstitutional) pc nonsense.
It sounds suspicious. Maybe he was asked to remove his bandana because it was stupid and/or disrespectful to the American flag?
AKAKA CALLS FOR RESIGNATION OF VA MENTAL HEALTH OFFICER KATZ OVER ALLEGED COVERUP OF VETERANS’ SUICIDES
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Daniel K. Akaka (D-HI), Chairman of the Veterans’ Affairs Committee, called for the resignation of Dr. Ira Katz, Mental Health Officer for the Department of Veterans Affairs, following reports that Dr. Katz was involved in efforts to cover up the number of veterans attempting suicide. Akaka sent his request by letter to Dr. Michael Kussman, VA’s Under Secretary for Health.
“Dr. Katz’s personal conduct and professional judgment have been called into question. I believe veterans, and the Department of Veterans Affairs, would be best served by his immediate resignation,” said Akaka.
Dr. Katz is VA’s Deputy Chief Patient Care Services Officer for Mental Health.

And a coward. I disagree with WLJ on so many things, but the corn in her crap has more class than you do.
As someone who has had major disagreements with WLJ on these forums, I say that with all disrespect to SHK.

What good is that?

Oh, never mind. No he didn’t
…huh?
Are getting absolutely no attention from the press. That’s why you don’t know what he’s talking about.
Although it’s silly on a matter of scale alone to equate them with Katrina, Republicans who are desperate for an issue now that America is hiring again would like to make the Nashville floods into Obama’s Katrina.
Good luck with that.
Whether Obama went to Nashville or not, FEMA has been all over the response, and the Federal Government has gotten rave reviews from the local governments.
And yes, it’s shameful how little the national press has been covering perhaps the worst flood in the Cumberland River drainage in ages. You’d think that with Opryland and the Country Music Hall of Fame underwater there’d have been some kind of national outrage or something, but, no…
