Evidently, Jason (“he’s a good kid”) Salzman and his media buddy Peter (“principled stand”) boyles are on to something involving a contest in which the grand prize was a trip to Hawaii to visit the hospital in which Obama “claimed” to be born….only the grand prize was never rewarded…..
Boyles is on this like white on white and Jason is his source.
.
flunked “ClichГ©s 101,” huh ?

So what it is? White on what?
PS. Did you catch my clever play on words on the subject line?
Phone call from the alarm company – alarm went off at work.
Very weird – the building door was locked, the door to our offices was open with the deadbolt and handle both locked (resting on the deadbolt). But the door had not been jimmied.
And nothing touched inside. So all ok, but weird.
Ghostbusters!
(Glad everything was okay. Keep on the lookout for the Ecto-Plazm.)

I let myself in.

I was driving to work and traffic slowed to a crawl — for no apparent reason. Then, after about 15 minutes, things freed up again and the rest of the drive was pleasant.
I just wanted to share that with everyone.
or smoked a fatty.
Fuck you, racist.
See, anything can start a fight and is thus relevant on the blog.
if I said I drove a hybrid, or an SUV? I’m trying to keep it about Colorado politics here, I really am!
🙂
I look forward to you calling out every poster who posts something you consider inappropriate.
I’ll check with you first before making a joke and you can pass judgment on that — win-win!
I will do that.
Seriously, though, if we could rate comments, most of your comments would have consistently high marks. Your need to needle DavidThi over non-political comments in open threads has captured my interest. I don’t remember you calling anyone out over sports comments, puppy threads, discussions about weekend plans, or food, or beverages of choice, or any other non-Colorado politics discussions, but it’s clearly difficult for you to skip past similar comments initiated by DavidThi.
and I appreciate the scrutiny. I needle DavidThi because he appointed me his ombudsman. It’s a position I take very seriously.
if I were you, I’d stop posting all those videos of Russian mobster’s girlfriends.
As in the Republican’s mistaken assumption of the right to be taken seriously by everyone except the President.
Well, his behavior anyway.
HB11-1117 will make administrative subpoenas in campaign finance able to switch to district court where the party would have to show cause for non-compliance. If
Dougthe party doesn’t show, they will have a good ole fashioned warrant issued.http://www.leg.state.co.us/cli…
I’m eating peas and corn every day for two weeks in honor of this wonderful franchise.
If they’re owned by something like 118,000 common stock shareholders, does that make them America’s socialist team?
Packers win….winner gets a bottle of
Cougar Run Merlot from the excellent Carlson Vineyard.
It spoils the fun of watching the games/election returns.
I’m advising taking the points because in all the Super Bowls since 1998, when the AFC finally ended the NFC’s 13-0 streak, AFC teams have won nine games while NFC teams have won only four. It’s rare to get an AFC team plus points.
Driving over the Rockies today with a stop in Glenwood. See y’all later.
Make it a great week.
Nah. What it does make them is a “mistake” that the NFL will never allow to happen again.
(It’s nearly impossible to hold a locality ransom for a team when the citizens of that locality are the owners.)
…and maybe a nice piece of schnitzel
Leinies original.
The original beer from the waters of the Big Eddy — plus a stick of Kewaskum Summer Sausage, sharp cheddar, deep fried walleye . . . and you better not forget the Old Fashioneds (light on the fruit please, but a pickled green bean, or two, would be most welcome).
(Like some nasty perogies stand any chance of holding up to that?)
Which I intend to buy for my SuperBowl party – it’s available at several of the finer liquor establishments around Denver.
Point, on the other hand, is pretty hard to find. My dad is from Stevens Point, so that’s where the loyalty comes from.
and the wrong course of action, and an impingment on our freddom. I don’t believe I’ve ever heard a Tea Bagger or a Republican voice any opposition to them. Here’s an interesting video. This gentleman was acquitted in New Mexico court:
Then you aren’t paying attention. (No surprise there) From Forbes
h/t Glenn Reynolds who answers the question made by the articles title with “No”.
I posted a video that represents my feelings on the TSA here. You can find all kinds of anti-TSA opinions on the right, if you would bother to look.
because I don’t agree with his premise that they are getting nothing from what they are doing.
He does make an excellent point regarding the Patriot Act.
Good read.

Poppycock.
Terrorists, I say.
fracking fluid flammable?
that doesn’t mean it’s not potable.
(Could be just another tasty 151-rum concoction . . .)
and she’s just fine.
Duh, residency issues. Wouldn’t you quit your job second?

if they tried to prevent him from he could just go “I’m Rahm Emanuel! Let me run you fuckers!”
….for example, if LTC (P) Joe Rice decides to run for something after his deployment to Iraq this year, is our Part-time Secy of State going to cite this as a reason to disqualify him?
Specifically because it’s meant for military and more legitimate serving.
Would Gessler try it? Don’t know. Our court wouldn’t uphold it though.
Meanwhile, (happy sigh) Joe Rice running. Here’s hoping.
I worked for 6 months for the US Courts in DC…and I kept my house in Denver Highlands. Are you saying I shouldn’t be allowed to run for public office because I don’t have residency?
I’m no fan of Emanuel, but working for the Feds in DC shouldn’t disqualify you from public office because you “live” in DC (a place you have no representation anyway) but still keep your real home somewhere else…
I’m not a lawyer, but I think you’d have a hard time basing a case in Colorado on a precedent on an Illinois mayoral qualification law set in Illinois by an Illinois appellate court.
It’s tough if you have moved around a lot.
In the meantime, Rahm can just keep making phone calls. He’s raised more than $12 million already.
The court is.
Did you rent your house out to strangers?
and I did the “commute back every other weekend” thing. I can tell you all the connections from either Reagan or Baltimore (named after Thurgood Marshall BWI) from heart on United, AirTrans, Frontier and Continental.
And I don’t discount for a minute that our part-time Secy of State would pull a decision out of his ass to deny Joe Rice a chance to run on something like this…
My own grandfather (marine turned politician) lived in DC for a few years doing the commute (half as often). He stayed on a house boat there. I was five or so and therefore completely amazed.
And no, our SoS isn’t doing a good job of proving he’s worthy of trust. But anyone who would deny my Joe Rice a chance to run would feel my campaign wrath. Which, of course, means I’d support Gessler. Take that, sucka!
your house in Denver. Rahm rented his out. He moved his family and his residence to DC (or Maryland or Virginia….). That is why they bounced him.
They bounced him because he wasn’t living there. There is little indication that they would have ruled differently had he not leased the house out while he was in DC.
the President will probably call the Repubs on their hack ‘n slash bogus budget, and call for more investment in the infrastructure of the US as a way to boost the economy.
I call on 44 to tell Congress to not cut the National Endowment for the Arts funding, and give it even more.
Why? The NEA has ROI of 18 to 1…so for our math-major Beej, that means for every dollar spent on the NEA, you get $18.74 back:
http://latimesblogs.latimes.co…
Because, as I have stated elsewhere, tax cuts for millionaires does jack shit for job creation….
BTW, here’s the original article with the 18:1 fact sourced so we don’t have someone saying “LA TIMES OP-ED R U KIDDING ME U LIBRULS??”
That whole “Taxpayer Bailout of the Banks?” Looks like it’s going to keep making money and not cost that initial $700 billion price tag:
http://www.reuters.com/article…
So, two socialist commie-pinko programs (TARP and the NEA) are stimulating the economy or making money, and they’re bad…does this mean the crazy Teabaggers have to admit they’re wrong about something else…AGAIN?
I think a lot of us, right and left, criticized the use of Federal funds to purchase toxic assets. In fact, I think it’s still quite valid to criticize the purchases, because they artificially propped up businesses who made risky decisions they themselves could not cover.
The sad part is, most of these “toxic” assets were only toxic because of the cascading effects the market (and the asset arrangements themselves) had on each other. They remain, perhaps not for the best, profitable investment instruments absent the threat of immediate collapse. It is my best hope that the types of investment schemes that caused this last recession be successfully seen to conclusion and removed from the list of legal investments thereafter.

it looks like Obama is shutting the OPA down. Good riddance and long overdue.
