A press release this week from Rep.

Sadly, just yesterday […]

Boy, you hibernate under a rock for a few days and what do you learn upon exiting, that Glen Beck is leaving Fox News! When did that happen? And where the F have I been? Man, St. Patrick’s Day really did it to me this year! Never again! …that is, until next year of course. […]
Interesting stuff from our friends at “The Fix” today: Sarah Palin’s unfavorable rating has spiked to a new high, adding further fuel to the argument that her presidential campaign may be doomed before it begins. A new Bloomberg poll shows the former Alaska governor is now viewed unfavorably by 60 percent of American adults. That’s […]
The LA Times reports on a subject we’ve been discussing repeatedly in this space. Republicans in Congress are pushing their spending cut plans, but non-Tea Party voters aren’t happy about it: As Vice President Joe Biden met with congressional leaders Thursday to try to resolve the impasse over government spending, Republicans were beginning to worry […]
There’s an interesting story at Huffington Post from Dylan Loewe about the potential for redistricting to mean big advantages for Democrats nationwide: Using Nate Silver’s gubernatorial projections and Louis Jacobson’s state legislative predictions, we find that Democrats will be in a better position during this redistricting in at least 8 states, and, depending on the […]
(What the hell is Ken Buck thinking? – promoted by Colorado Pols) POLS UPDATE: The video and story have now hit Politico, which is not at all good news for Buck. As we said in the comments below, the rationale for this comment isn’t really relevant — Buck said it, and now it’s going to […]
I think we can all agree that Bill Halter is Blanche Lincoln’s only viable challenger in the Arkansas Senate Democratic primary: Lt. Gov. Bill Halter, a Democratic primary challenger trying to oust Arkansas Sen. Blanche Lincoln, raised nearly twice as much money as she did in April, campaign finance reports released Thursday showed. Politics is […]
Preface: Some of this text has been shared before. Each year, on the anniversary of my friend’s death, I light a candle for him.

(Always glad to see diaries and posts from WLJ. Please post more! – promoted by ClubTwitty) Many of you know how I feel about pot and America’s war on drugs, but what you may not know is I am about to dedicate my life to ending this attack on America’s communities of color and those […]
Last Week, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar made a bold proclamation about wind energy. “The idea that wind energy has the potential to replace most of our coal-burning power today is a very real possibility…It is not technology that is pie-in-the sky; it is here and now.” Wow, that is good to hear. But […]
The Denver Post becomes the latest in a growing collection of major media outlets to note the deterioration of effective government, quality of life, etc. associated with El Paso County’s decades-long ideological experiment eviscerating its own revenue base. Stridently right-wing El Paso County has long collected a small fraction of what similar Colorado counties get […]

Okay, hear me out here people. Ewegen’s last comment: Thu Nov 13, 2008 at 13:51:03 PM CST Musgrave hasn’t been seen in weeks. Coincidence? I think not. I’ve never seen them in the same place twice. Has anyone? Even if you have, it was likely a body double–purely to provide MusgravEwegen a proper alibi. It’s […]
Greeley resident Julie Shade is voting No on Amendment 48 because she sees that it goes too far. Her husband is a lawyer and cannot make heads or tails of the sneaky amendment to outlaw abortion. Julie had a No on 48 yard sign at her house that was vandalized. This is a felony. […]

Seriously? As the Rocky Mountain News reported Saturday: The measure, if approved by […]
