A lot of the Eurovision acts are major stage presentations. They all have accompaniment in some form or another. But to walk out there by yourself, no show, no backup singers or instrumentals, and to put everything on your voice.
And he nails it. One of the best.
Colorado rafting guide arrested after girl’s rescue
http://www.junctiondailyblog.com/
Clearly the Clear Creek Sheriff is way off the reservation. Kudos to you and Ralphie for exposing his actions to a wider audience (believe it or not, not everyone reads the Post).
Was the rafting employee interfering with their land-based setup or something?
I hope they drop the charges, and quickly.
Dana Millbank, who knew Romanoff before he moved to Colorado, wrote about him yesterday.
.
Now he outs himself as a Bennet partisan, seething with contempt for Romanoff.
Can the WaPo fire him fast enough ?
And why did he finally come clean and admit his biases ? I’m guessing that AR had a heart-2-heart with management at the WaPo, and demanded either Milbank expose his own inability to objectively report on this race, or Romanoff would.
This is Milbank’s Swan Song. He has already been given his walking papers, if the WaPo has any integrity left.
.
If you read the article you certainly didn’t refute any of Milbanks assertions but then concern trolls who live in Welfare City and don’t have to worry about big daddy government pulling out of town can afford to be outraged at a columnist writing about a fellow Yale law student.
.
is the fault of the Air Force, for building 5 bases here.
And folks in the military don’t earn a nickel, not even when getting blown up in Vietnamistan.
Got it.
.
Dana Millbank column
This is what bugs me the most about AR’s gang. Painting the non-politician as the Washington insider when your crew has been on the inside so long you’ve been term-limited out. State politics and not Washington you say? An insider is an insider and it’s pure hypocrisy to punish the able appointee for stuff you’ve been doing your whole political career.
.
run this kind of stuff past somebody before posting it, like your campaign manager.
It make you look poissant when you post stuff like this.
.
Guess again Barron. I got no horse in this game.
В
В
So clearly Dana Milbank has a grudge against Romanoff that goes back 20 years to when Romanoff was his editor and Milbank just hasn’t gotten over it. Isn’t this the same guy who Keith Olbermann banned from his show for refusing to correct his misrepresentations about Obama? As much as it’s clear this is a vindictive guy with a grudge, it’s equally clear he is delusional about Bennet.
В
Honest people can argue about whether he’s a good guy or an effective legislator В but the fawning over Bennet in a hit-piece on Romanoff takes away any sense of credibility or objectivity. It’s a bit sickening to read Milank’s parroting of Bennet’s talking points that Bennet is the consummate outsider who just hates Washington politics. The fact is Bennet is not only the ultimate Washington insider from his days at St. Albans to daddy getting him his first job and every job since having been a political favor instead of one he actually earned. More than that Bennet says and Milbank types for him that Bennet deplores politics as usual and is some outsider rebel but Bennet is practicing the very politics he says he’s fighting against and was just shocked to find in Washington.
В
Bennet attacks Romanoff for what he calls negative campaigning but the only difference is that Romanoff says things directly and publicly. If he has a criticism of Bennet or Washington, he says it at debates, he posts all of his press releases on his website and videos of all of his statements are on the web for the world to see. Bennet on the other hand has his surrogates smear Romanoff and has his spokesman berate press people who don’t praise Bennet and send out statements to the press that he doesn’t have the integrity to post publicly so everybody knows what he’s saying to the press about Romanoff.
В
Mario Solis has called him out for it numerous times and on this Milbank hit-piece at least one local reporter caught on to Bennet’s politics-as-usual game when instead of responding to the fact that Bennet was well aware of Messina’s plans to try to get Romanoff to drop out of the race, Camp Bennet instead sent out a link to Milbank’s hit piece: http://www.kwgn.com/news/kdvr-… Bennet’s new media gal was quick to get the story out to their people – within minutes of Milbank posting it – and Kincaid has been just as quick in pushing the story to any reporter who would listen or who might be thinking of actually looking at what Bennet knew and when.
В
An “ultimate insider” is someone appointed to a job they have no prior experience in doing.
at whatever level.
Just looking at Bennets voting record, (yes he votes with Dems a lot but votes with Wall street more often.
then the money pit time bomb that went off at DPS after Bennet set it up, then got appointed.
Just another reason Romanoff should be Senator.
You didn’t refute any of Milbanks assertions particularly the one about Romanoff disbanding his PAC immediately before declaring himself the more extreme Democrat who doesn’t take PAC money.
I think you confuse grudge with the facts. You didn’t refute a single one of his facts. Instead you pull the Romanoff is a victim of Bennet dirty tactics which you also don’t specify so it is difficult to understand how you can make all these claims without any facts and still think your criticisms are the truth. It is a most interesting way to not address the fact that Romanoff is not a team player and he did not divulge that he had applied for a job when he released his White House emails which is you know kind of a big deal seeing that they were calling him back.
After this all plays out it is going to be one of those hindsight moments when Andrew realizes he should have taken the job and become part of the team. His loner behavior beings to mind another rogue Democrat. Joe Lieberman.
Never say anything catty to Dana Millbank
.
(which totally disqualifies him as a journalist,)
I thought his work witty and humorous.
.
Two comments from the Posts blog section on this article try to sum up this failed Administration.
http://www.denverpost.com/poli…

3 key failures:
Causing Labor-Management fights
Killing Jobs-Hurting Consumers
Creating a Fiscal Crisis (increased taxes/fees and increased spending)
Truly sad
Public Service of Colorado was not… Blame Owens for that.
How can Taxes be higher? as We haven’t held an election to raise them via the rules of TABOR?
1)Labor and Management will always fight.
2)Jobs are eliminated by Oil/Gas when it becomes unprofitable to drill everywhere.
3)spending has gone down, fees are needed to supplement plowing your road and keeping street lights on…
the whole state does not have to be as third world as Colo Springs.
It appears the Tea Party is experiencing some growing pains. And their unfavorables are at an all time high.
.
El Paso County ?
.
How do you think it’s playing in swing counties like Larimer? But please do continue to ignore it if it doesn’t affect you directly.
.
I’m willing to pretend that you have no clue about what impact the T-Party threatened to have on politics, if you are.
The T-party was never going to entice a “progressive” like yourself to vote for the good of the larger community, and never even had such an ambition.
The T-Party has, from its inception 14 months ago, fixated on demonstrating to conservatives of all stripes that the GOP was no longer a conservative party. That’s its one and only raison d’etre.
Well, that and perhaps providing a vehicle for nurturing / incubating some new modus / vehicle for conservatives to collaborate.
How was a schism in the Republican Party going to play out in Larimer ? How is that changed by the shift in its popular appeal ? Right. Not one whit.
Now substitute “El Paso” for “Larimer.”
.
Didn’t read it, did ya? But that’s a rather longstanding naughty little habit you have, as I seem to recall.
Go condescend to someone else. I’ve written plenty about their potential impact on this year’s election including in diaries. Your comment, as is par for the course, has pretty much nothing to do with the linked article. Wow. Big surprise there.
It will be more fun in November that way.
sticking by your beliefs in the face of all reason.
the GOP lost to a Black guy.
if they were all about the gop being wayward they would have appeared BEFORE Nov. 2008.
actually appearing sometime in 2003 would have made them legit in that argument.
November will be a blast watching the gop go the way of the whigs BECAUSE if the tea baggers
in the form of Ron Paul revolutionaries. Since you are one of the most ideologically blind leftists on this blog, I have no doubt you will be disappointed by the November elections. By the way, what did you think of that Lincoln win?
the one where the very large precinct she lost before had 42 voting centers then for the runoff they were reduced to only 2? that one?
the Ron Paul group you refer were far more sane than the CURRENT tea bag party.
As Ron Paul was systematically denied positions at republican gatherings. in fact the “Ron paul tea party” was hijacked by corporatist’s and faux news.
Ron Paul wants NOTHING to do with the perversion of his Idea.
Come November we shall see grasshopper, we shall see.
You just can’t admit that even with $10 million from the unions, they weren’t able to buy the race. You may remember a guy by the name of Rand Paul who is a tea partier (not the derogatory gay slur you trumpet) and won quite handily against the establishment choice of Trey Greyson. And before you shout “racist!”, let me just pre-empt that by saying “not racist!”. Lol, yes indeed, you’ve had a little bit of success and got a big head, but you have much to learn young grasshopper. We shall see indeed.
is what the new tea baggers called themselves to begin with. Picking that term, Totally Ignorant of what the Majority of Mainstream English speakers had been using in reference to that term had been around meaning the same thing I mean it as, for years beforehand. (initially defined on Sex and the city in 1993.)
Blanche Lincoln used her cronies in a republican maneuver to disenfranchise thousands of voters. to squeak a victory.
Deny that fact all you want. it is reality. Just like President Obama was born in Hawaii.
You cant change facts.
“Blanche Lincoln used her cronies” No, that would be the unions. And they still lost. Pretty sure no tea partier has ever called themself a “teabagger”. That was the left wing media. Glad you’re certain that Obama was born in Hawaii. That is a very good thing to know. /sarcasm
The Unions turned On ol Blanche.
beyond that I am tired of arguing with someone so deluded, forgetful and intentionaly Ignorant.
NO sarcasm, straight fact.
truly you really can’t bend reality to your Ideology.

but written in a language you don’t understand.
The first video you link to portrays the T-Partiers you intend to mock shouting “socialist” and Nazi” when they cannot comprehend sophisticated progressive positions.
The second video you link to is your sympatico progressives shouting “KKK” at the T-Partiers who they cannot understand, despite a perfectly transparent message.
Well, at least you get your links to rhyme.
.
that was not ordered up by Dick Wad, Cheney or Limbaugh.
I am proud of you.
Now to work on your comprehension of reality.
And they lost. Even Dems are getting tired of the union mob enriching itself at everyone else’s expense.
who’s usually down at the street corner? ‘cuz you sound just like him.
to watch you.
I must be moving up in the world if I am officially on the George Soros watch list. Tell Big Brother hi for me.
There are powerful people you are just becoming aware of BJ.
What are you talking about? I’ve known about Soros for a long time. It’s just a bunch of pissed of rich liberal elites that threw a bunch of money around to swing elections. They can’t hold a candle to the true grassroots movement of the Tea Party.
that Bennet knew the W.H. was pressuring Romanoff to get out of the race?
http://www.completecolorado.com

Fortunately, I can refresh his memory.
I just happened to be in the room when Michael called Larry and asked him to call Rahm and ask him to clear the field by giving Andrew a job.
.
You are saying that Bennet asked the White House to make Romanoff go away?
.
What I do at this site is a form of performance art.
Like some of my other posts, this one is a dramatization of a fictionalized account of an ahistorical recreation.
Less kind posters might call it MSU.
But you can’t deny that it could have happened that way.
.
not a typo, right?
.
Believe it or not, I just made that up about being in the room. Don’t tell anyone, or my magnificent credibility could suffer.
.
Rush practices the same form of performance art.
is Barron X has an actual working IQ and no recent convictions for illegal narcotics. The same can’t be said of Limbaugh.
.
props.
.
Fantasy and innuendo (what you call dramatized accounts) isn’t news or commentary.
No comment. I guess it’s hard to defend the corruption of American democracy and political thuggery.
This appointment thing really sowed some warped principles into the heads of Colorado’s leading Democrats.
Major RNC donors defect to NRSC
A group of former top donors to the Republican National Committee have written fellow wealthy Republicans advising them to steer their contributions this cycle to the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
“After much deliberation, we have decided our focus should be on making gains in the United States Senate,” says their letter, whose signatories include three former RNC finance chairmen. “The best way for us to afect the outcome of these races is by supporting the National Republican Senatorial Committee.”
The letter doesn’t mention the RNC directly, but its implication to plugged-in Republican donors is clear, and one section appears to draw a contrast between NRSC Chairman John Cornyn and Steele, who has faced a series of spending flaps and who is viewed as unresponsive by former top donors.
Cornyn has been a “wise steward of hte Committee’s funds,” says the letter. “He has also listened to our input and sought our counsel multiple times.”
Its authors are a who’s who of deep-pocketed Republicans tied to the RNC and to President Bush’s high-powered fundraising operatino, and their defection is a further mark of the flight of wealthy donors from Michael Steele’s RNC, which has shifted to a reliance on more expensive, small-dollar fundraising. They include Sam Fox, who recently departed a top RNC honorary post; Bush 2004 Finance Chairman Mercer Reynolds; former RNC Finance Chairmen Al Hoffman, Mel Sembler, and Lew Eisenberg; former top RNC fundraiser Jack Oliver; and former RNC Chairman Jim Nicholson.

I hope the Teabaggers write lots of checks, because it’s starting to look a little thin in the pocketbook for every Republican’t running for office.
Except in the Senate Races…

So those morons just got anonymous emails and decided to run with them? Wow.
It’s time for your meds. Please.
Has it been removed? I’d almost like to read it, on the grounds that something so extreme that BJWilson thinks it’s over the top must be over the top indeed!
..that character posted many, many pieces…in a spam-type presentation…many of which made no sense (but which were not completely different from what GE/Libertad/bjwilson might post less often).
Yes, they were removed.

Sorry I missed it.

Turns out, this one guy was at the center of almost every conspiracy and alien abduction in the last 30 years, if you can believe his website.
http://www.stewwebb.com/
The most recent incident involved 6 Mossad agents in a black helo who were in the process of strafing Stew as he drove near Hastings, Nebraska, this past January. Fortunately, a French Mirage jet happened by and shot down the black helo.
.
stewwebb has a few issues to work out. Interesting that he thinks that he would get a positive response here. But maybe not that surprising.
