Ordinarily, I’d say this isn’t a topic for Colorado Pols, but since Craig Silverman’s opinions about this have made their way here, I feel that it’s worthy of discussion. To recap: Last week, President Obama stated in a speech that Israel / Palestine peace talks need to go forward, with the “1967 borders” as a […]
(Even more apropos today – promoted by Colorado Pols) A wire service article in the print edition of today’s Denver Post informs us that Sarah Palin, in a speech yesterday, slammed the endangered-species act and called for more domestic oil drilling, but there was nothing more about her appearance tonight with Gen. William Boykin (U.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 […]
Or so says the US Chamber of Commerce. And this is the same CoC which refuses to release detailed financial data telling America who is really paying for it’s huge pre-election ad blitz. We know they get large sums of donations from foreign interests, but we should trust them when they say they aren’t using […]
Mexican-American artist Enrique Chagoya’s “The Misadventures of the Romantic Cannibals” was on display in Loveland when a truck driver, a Christian shouting ‘How can you desecrate my Lord?’ smashed the case and shredded the artwork.

TUESDAY UPDATE: From the Wisconsin State Journal–denials getting sniffed out, found wanting: The recordings indicate that group was working with the state Republican Party and another organization, Americans for Prosperity, and planned to send mail to addresses on voter rolls and use any mail that is returned to challenge voters’ registrations. The practice is known […]
As “The Fix” reports: The conservative outside group American Crossroads is launching new ads in the Missouri and Colorado Senate races today… …The Colorado commercial, which hits Sen. Michael Bennet (D) for remarking that “we have nothing to show for” the amount of debt the country has racked up, will air for one week in […]
Last week Michael Bennet debuted a montage-syle ad taking snippets of Buck comments, largely out of context, to try to paint Buck as an extremist. Did anyone from the Bennet camp ever actually listen to the tape of Buck’s alleged eliminate the Department of Education gaffe? I don’t think so. It did not take […]
The “[White House Office of National Drug Control Policy] also focuses on the surprisingly widespread problem of drug overdose, which now surpasses firearms as a cause of death in the U.S.” Harold Pollack, Rehab: America’s drug policies just got a whole lot better, The New Republic Politics, 5/14/2010 12:00 AM, https://www.tnr.com/article/po…
As our friends at “The Fix” report, another outside group is running ads to help the candidacy of Republican Senate candidate Ken Buck: American Crossroads, the conservative outside organization that has pledged to raise upwards of $60 million for the midterm elections, is spending nearly $1 million on new television ads in the Colorado and […]
So spending the last year telling whoever will listen that ‘the guvmint’ wants to kill Grandma with evil health care reform and you, patriotic American, ‘must resist’–never seemed like a responsible thing to encourage, did it? Sure enough, as MSNBC reports: At least 10 House Democrats are receiving access to increased security after receiving threats […]
Face-Off in minutes.
As the Pueblo Chieftain reports: In front of a crowd of about 100 steelworkers and other union officials, Gov. Bill Ritter signed an executive order Wednesday afternoon to require state agencies spending federal stimulus money to give a preference for contracts that pledge to use U.S.-made steel, iron and manufactured goods. Ritter’s support from organized […]
Recently my sister passed away unexpectedly and I was looking for some helpful books I could pass on to help her daughters to deal with their loss. So I dusted off my Women Who Run with the Wolves book and decided to make a copy of one of my favorite stories about intuition and the […]

On this site, hour by hour, we can see before our eyes the spectrum of voices that comprise simultaneous discussions taking in places that range from the United States Senate to Manny’s Manger on Route 287. Is it different […]
According to a report in the Christian Science Monitor, most Americans understand and agree with the vast majority of the currently active and practicing climatologists around the world. Some 56 percent of likely general-election voters say global warming is happening now, and a further 21 percent say it will happen in the future. [emphases added] […]
For the last month on my morning drive-time radio show on AM760, we have been discussing the Frontier Airline situation, and how it serves as an important microcosm of all the debates about jobs, the economy, public policy, and corporate welfare inherent in Greg LeRoy’s terrific book called The Great American Jobs Scam – a […]

The steel-town Pueblo Chieftain reports: The “Buy American” amendment that House Democrats put in their stimulus plan and the Senate barely modified, appears to be as hard as the U.S. steel industry it is intended to help. As House and Senate negotiators met on Wednesday to work on a compromise on the nearly $800 billion […]
A key point of debate is emerging in the U.S. Senate as it prepares to take up the federal economic stimulus package, over a proposed requirement that U.S.-made raw materials be used on infrastructure projects paid for with stimulus funds. As the Pueblo Chieftain reports: Last week, House Democrats approved an $819 billion package of […]
Aristocracy n Definition: Government by the best individuals or by a small privileged class. Though I’m not home in Denver right now (I’m in an airport heading there right now), I’m guessing there are many who are fairly to quite mystified by Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter’s (D) selection of Michael Bennet for U.S. Senate. It […]
As the Washington Post reports: Americans rode subways, buses and commuter railroads in record numbers in the third quarter of this year, even as gas prices dropped and unemployment rose.

The knight in shining armor riding into to save the day was a gimmick and a very dangerous one at that. But the worst part of it all is what the American people got from McCain. It wasn’t leadership. It was a good view of his backside as he walked out the door. From the […]
