      As voters prepared to go to the polls on November 8, 1988, newspaper editorials mirrored lawmakers’ understanding that the 120-day limit was just that: A cap on how long the General Assembly would meet with a defined beginning and end. Or as the editorial board of the Colorado Springs Gazette put it: “At the very least, if you believe the adage that no one's life, liberty or property are safe when the Legislature is in session, then Amendment 3 would keep us safe for two- thirds of the year.” Editorial, “Assure Citizens’ Legislature,” Colorado Springs Gazette (Nov. 5, 1988).

      1. I looked on Wormtongue’s “Rudy Giuliani CommonSense” website, and found this gem:

         Rudy Giuliani “”really impressed” with handling of coronavirus. 

         If there is justice, Ol’ Rudy will spend his last hours gasping in a ventilator.

      Is this is the place where the violence and oppression starts?

      "I had a little bird, her was name Enza…

      I opened a window, and in flew Enza."
