from the Boulder Daily Camera (the anti-58 team also took out a full-page ad in the paper saying the same thing).
If their main argument is that this was not “a subsidy” back then, they’re in a world of hurt. People don’t give a rip about what was set up why – all they care about is should this tax be levied for this purpose.
If the anti-58 folks talk about the historical intent of legislation while the pro-58 folks talk about obscene oil & gas profits and the lack of funding for higher-ed – guess who wins?
So it’s good news to start off the day.
What a great game. The Raiders are really terrible this year, but the Broncos still looked good. The offensive line is much improved.
I laughed my wadhams off every time they showed one of those loony Raider fans watching their team get destroyed.
The best part was the Broncos kept driving and scoring. No mercy.
Great night for Raider Haters.
until Shanahan goes. What’s he done post-Elway? Why does he still have a job here?
doesn’t mean you have to hate him too BC. 🙂
He’s been a loser for years.
He’s only had one losing season in 13 seasons.
Hope you saw the deer in headlights look from the Raiders coach last night.
Broncos have gone to the AFC championship game and have made the playoffs quite a lot post Elway. Plus only one losing season in 13 as redstate pointed out.
A bad season here or there is no good reason to dump a winning coach. Shanahan is a great coach.
LOL! Lane Kiffin looked like he was about to crawl into a hole.
When exactly did Al Davis decide that hiring Doogie Howser for head coach was a good idea?
Still thinks he’s no better than plenty of coaches in the NFL who have lost their jobs over the past few years.
probably the only thing I have ever disagreed with you about 🙂
There are worse coaches than Shanahan but better ones as well. Maybe it is time for a change.
Let’s just see how the season goes. OK, if you can’t wait that long, at least wait until SD.
Playcalling, and lack of penalties for Broncs, was amazing last night. Maybe I’m letting my love of Broncs get in the way, but I have faith.
back in the days of Lou Saban. The offense was Floyd Little right, Little left, Bobby Anderson up the gut and punt. But we had fund. I wouldn’t fire Shanahan mid-season, even if we finish 1-15. But It’s been along time since anyone called him a genius, and deservedly so. In terms of this season, I have to wait until we face a real team, not the wreckage of Al Davis’ Alzheimers.
Penn State feels? They haven’t had a fresh coaching strategy since the Eisenhower administration.
No goin’ after Joe-Pa! The Penn State college campus will probably disintegrate when he leaves. ‘s the truth!

You get a better class of people at State Pen…
In the past nine seasons:
# of Super Bowl wins: Shanny 0, Herm 0
# of Super Bowl appearances: Shanny 0, Herm 0
# of defensive coordinators: Shanny 17, Herm 5
OK, I made that last one up. But it appears to be a tie regarding the only benchmark that matters…
I can live with that, Fidel.
“Back to Wasilla AK” A beautiful title for an autobiography which I ardently hope Palin will have plently of time, free from official duties, to begin in mid-November..
A possible correction: I had written than Wasilla had a town manager in addition to a mayor. The information was second hand and I have not been able to confirm it. Goggling Wasilla, I found the city lists the duties of the major and they appear to be administrative. There is no mention of a town manager. It does not say if the position is full or part-time.
Hi;
Is there anything set up by the state or anyone else to get numbers election night across the state? And if not, do you think we on Pols could do it?
The central part would be easy (I could do that) but what would be key is having someone at each county clerk with a laptop to email in results every time there are new numbers. Some clerks are set up to get the numbers out immediately – but others aren’t – and those require a body there.
Anyways, is there already someone doing this? If not, do you think we have Pols members in each county that would volunteer?
…against the Raiders. Still, congrats to the hometown boys for shellacking those effete West Coast pansies.
Blantant speculation this early…but anyone want to peer into their crystal ball and make a Superbowl prediction?
I thought Dallas vs Indy until I saw the latter’s poor performance this week. And with Brady out for the season and Vince Young on crutches…could Pittsburgh or Buffalo make a run for it??.
I’ll go with an old school rivalry in my prediction:
Dallas vs. Pittsburgh
(Picture perfect offense versus a smashmouth defense….that’s a game I’d like to see…)
I have to inform you that those of us that are 49ers fans are far more effete and much bigger pansies than Raider fans.
We don’t dress up like jackasses and when our team sucks we admit it, stop paying attention and go to the beach. 😛
I cannot believe that’s real. <searches>
Ah ah! It isn’t. Comedy team by the name of John Clarke and Brian Dawe. It seems almost believable, probably because it is meant to be a parody of Peter Cook, the former Australian Minister for Shipping. Absolutely pitch perfect.

like cardboard – that gave it away for me. But still – awesome!
Special teams looked weak but the Offense was clicking.
The Washington Post reports that Sarah Palin billed the State for nights she stayed at home. I wonder if her adviser on such matters is former Colorado State Representative Joe Stengel who used similar creativity on his expense accounts.
“Honey, it’s Joe Stengel or something in Colorado!”
“…and someone named Doug Bruce on call-waiting!”
Commentator on the ABC news interview with 4 of Palin’s friends.
The actual news though

Alaska is turning blue! 🙂
Also, I mailed in my registration and absentee ballot request for Colorado today. It was a close call between there and here in New Mexico, but in the end Colorado pulled through. You libs are officially on notice.
Finally, when did O’dell’s stop calling 90 Shilling “Colorado Ale?” For shame. It’s still good, though.
Yesterday saw the indictment of yet another Abramoff crony – Rep. Doolittle aide Kevin Ring. And while the big news of the day was Ring’s linkage between Abramoff and Doolittle (over 100 mentions of “Representative 5” aka Doolittle in the indictment), it wasn’t the only new tidbit.
In the “things that make you go hmm…” department, the indictment includes a lot of references to e-mail evidence – evidence that was sitting on Sen. John McCain’s desk as head of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee. McCain never implicated any members of Congress in his investigation, and he kept a lot of the e-mail evidence secret. Now, it appears, there was fire where everyone saw smoke. TPM Muckraker makes brief mention of this little tidbit while exposing yet another possible Abramoff “asset” – retiring Rep. Heather Wilson (NM-01).
I got polled tonight. Look for a poll to skew even more to the right in the near future.
Though it could be an internal – not sure if the big-names identify the company or just use some covert “research analysis” type name. I do note they asked me what made my opinion change about Obama in the past week, but didn’t ask the same question about McCain (the answer would have been Palin).
Yep, polls are flawed. Though I’m kind of sad the Palin pick made me swear off my previous assessment that I’d tell anyone who polled me I was voting for Barr. That would have been more fun.
as a citizen of NM, CO, or what else is it, FL or AL?
🙂
And I didn’t offer. I like messing with their system. 🙂
The more I think about it, the more I think it was probably a campaign internal. Look for a diary on it in the near future.
