But when a political gig comes up (presumably for money, I hope), you’ve got to take it.
in that nefarious plot of MADCO’s and Alan’s to rule the world.
You’re doing the honorable thing RSB . . . so, you obviously have no future in politics.
Best wishes for your endeavor (unless you’re going to work for Romer).
But at least I know what I’m going to do tonight.
I clearly already was the Head FPE.
It says so in my contract, and all the checks are addressed that way.
I nominate Laughing Boy, Republican 36 and Ellie. Not necessarily in that order.
And if you feel like telling, are you now working for that other Polster trying to do that recall?
She’ll take some coaxing, though.
coaxing:
Republican 36 I haven’t gotten to know yet, and Ellie has declined, but I’m all for L B — and that would be a nice poke in the eye of certain people who share a last name with a color we rarely see in Colorado lawns these days.
I’m in awe of the writing capabilities and spirit of almost everyone being nominating here, but anyone who’s got the stamina to keep getting back up from the mat here and keep sparring could make a good FPE. And that threatening phone call — awesome for the resume’. Whoever is elected: you’ve got some big shoes to fill.
but if it were really a politician’s address, the whole thing would have been misconstrued and taken out of context, resulting in media persecutions that contain no truth but have proven a distraction, and so for the sake of all of the rest of us, you are stepping down to spend more time with your family. While the salary you’ll be taking might be nice to finally get a new car after 14 years and pay for your sick mother’s medical care, you’d do exactly the same thing for free. And of course you will continue to fight for the people who elected you, perhaps even moreso now that you’ve totally bailed out of fighting for them.
Just happened to get a shot of redstate as he was preparing to resign and leave the premises.
I trust you will not leave us entirely, if you please. ???
I think RSB can still comment on a wide range of issues without conflict.
Has asked me not to. I am complying with that request.
I’ll still be around for the extremely rare comment (like this one) but I thought it was totally inappropriate for me to continue to serve as FPE.
And with that, I melt into the ether.
now redstateblues.
In my attempts to not offend Dear Leader MADCO, I’ll second the nomination of LB.
And, for the sake of entertainment, I’ll nominate Ste…uh…I mean, Diogenesdemar. [Insert evil laugh]
Diogenes is so much less wordy than a dear departed polster I won’t mention.
ran away from that muthafrackin’ verbose Geppetto wannabe? Hey-Zeus Q. Christopolis — it would get so damn unbearable . . . every night I would pray to God to let me have a fork — just so I had something to stab into my eardrums and end my fucking agony. The day I finally got my little wooden hands on that boxknife and cut my strings was the happiest day of my life.
Thought that was going to be another comment from the Beej. He’s been confused about pretty much everything lately.
After all that Scott “Leave ‘Em Gessing” Gessler did to soften up the critics to make things easier on the NEXT politico with a conflict of interest? He took the heat so you won’t have to.
That’s some gratitude you show your trailblazer …
must be followed by the resignation letter.
Sorry to see ya go, best of luck in your new endeavor. A job well done at Pols.
Well, our loss is some campaign-that-cannot-be-named’s gain. Don’t be a stranger…
Creepily. In the shadows.
Congratulations to you, RSB, for getting a paying gig in a bad economy. You aren’t doing this to spend more time with the family, aren’t you?
Second, I nominate Aristotle for FP. He’s overdue, long overdue.
Great to hear about the gig, and Ari is indeed overdue for an FP slot.
Deciding who to vote for is really going to be hard.
Good job, RSB. My condolences for joining another campaign. I’m enjoying the break.
Aristotle and BlueCat.
Both are excellent writers.
three people that I would be happy to see become FPE.
I’m so techi inept and I don’t write diaries. Prefer just being a lazy feline with no reponsibilities. But thanks for the thought.
because the stuff you DO write is well thought out.
and may you work for a worthy candidate.
For the record – bummed.
Kinda selfish, I know. But hey, nobody would nominate me anyways since I read more than I post. ColoradoPols is a great website and I would be more than glad to keep it going and make it better.
Of course, I would write a lot more on here if I would happen to be elected Editor. It’s time to shake things up on ColoradoPols. Give it some spice.
Let the Dark Horse win for once. Heh heh heh…
Then you need to get someone to nominate you.
Here’s what Pols said above:
I think “Politically” would probably technically qualify as “someone.” And, even if he/she doesn’t, as a “nobody” I’ll make the nomination on his/her behalf. (Hell, we let that Charley Miller guy run a campaign for U.S. Senator . . .)
then he/she has a nomination.
That’s all I was saying.
I care for the process, that’s all.
So thank you for questioning the credentials.
I feel like Rahm Emanuel… Back on the ballot, baby!

I would assume it still applies since there has been no correction of it since then.
I should have gone back to 2009.
Please don’t take this the wrong way – you suck at this.
he’s one of your sockpuppets isn’t he — MADCO you somanabitch?
I should make you a personal sock puppet. Would you like that? I think perhaps you would.
I want to bring back this post 🙂
Should we designate a place-holder FPE to keep your seat warm until after the election? Pols really needs to come up with some sort of vacancy committee procedure, just like the real pols do!
We could all speculate about the two or three most likely candidates, then all be shocked when they appoint Gecko to the position.
I really appreciate the care you took with the gig. The Pols community was fortunate to have you leading the
asylumway.I’d like to second, third, or whatever Aristotle’s nomination to
zookeeperFPE.guess it goes with the name.
From one of your biggest fans!
Whooot!
Congrats on the new job, RSB! Go get (person/issue) (passed/elected)!
You did a great job, rsb
And good luck.
I appreciate my name being mentioned, but I respectfully decline. When the times right I would thoroughly enjoy trying for job.
That would be animal abusers worst nightmare – and that I would love to see.
Worst nightmare, hmm, I like that!
Fine, go off and play king maker. Although, if I find out you’re working for Romer, I’m gonna kick your ass.
I’ll miss you man. Best of luck to you.
Unless you’re working for Romer. And, if that’s the case…see ya back here soon.
And, of course, the real America. So when’s your book coming out? How much will you charge to pep talk at one of the Baron’s rallies? Are you going to boycott the next CPAC too? And who are you endorsing for New York’s 23rd in 2012? Sorry RSB, it’s all so transparent. “Municipal campaign” my ass. It’s the $$$.
