We’ve occasionally taken time in this space to discuss the completely absurd editorial board of The Colorado Springs Gazette, which is basically the newspaper version of your drunk uncle at Thanksgiving. In fact, we wrote about the Gazette editorial board just a few weeks ago after it vomited out an opinion titled: “Should we save all […]
UPDATE 12:45PM: The revolution has reportedly started, but the army is nowhere to be found. Reports from the scene tell us there are no guns, and not really even that many pro-COVID protesters at the Colorado state capitol today. Moreover, there appear to be enough Denver Police and Colorado state troopers on hand to comfortably […]
“The best liar is he who makes the smallest amount of lying go the longest way.” –Samuel Butler
(God helps those who don’t screw themselves – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Saying “we will not get through this mess without the blessing of God,” U.S. Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) told a conservative radio host Thursday that he will apparently defy Gov. Jared Polis’ (D-CO) orders and go to church May 3, one week from […]
As The Hill reports, some Republican public figures are a little more…frank in their estimation of the value of the lives of Americans than others in these trying times. That, for the second time in the present emergency, includes Texas Lite Gov. Dan Patrick: Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) called for the reopening of […]
As a team of Denver Post reporters detail for us, yesterday Gov. Jared Polis outlined a process by which the state of Colorado will begin to reopen the mostly-shuttered economy at the end of April after over a month of mandatory stay-at-home orders in place–orders which appear to have definitively turned the tide against the […]
As the old saying goes, it’s not what you don’t know that gets you into trouble–it’s what you know for sure that just isn’t so. Western Slope Republicans are proving it’s still as true as ever. Congressman Scott Tipton, to kick things off, heard a rumor! And on the basis of that rumor made some […]
We noted last month on The Get More Smarter Podcast that Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) was identified as a high-profile attendee of a lavish champagne-tasting party in Palm Beach, Florida. Today, Justin Wingerter of The Denver Post catches up on this story and a related ethics complaint that looks really, really, REALLY bad for Gardner: On […]
Boulder, CO is officially the snowiest city in America this winter. Can we blame El Niño? Now, let’s Get More Smarter.

(Read this – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Even in its purest form, political opposition research is by its nature a fishing expedition. Researchers scour public records for evidence of lawbreaking or wrongdoing by their target. Any evidence found can then be used for legal action, media pitches or paid advertising. When a political goal is […]
UPDATE: Via the Denver Post’s Alex Burness, House Minority Leader Patrick Neville starts the backpedaling: I called House Minority Leader Patrick Neville a bit ago. He declined to apologize for his "Gestapo" remark, but said, "I should have said authoritarian, not Gestapo." He also accused Polis today of making "political hay out of something that […]
Former Gov. John Hickenlooper may have set a new fundraising record for a Democratic U.S. Senate candidate in Colorado with $4.1 million raised in Q1 — besting the $4 million quarter posted by former Sen. Mark Udall in Q3 2014. Hickenlooper also outraised incumbent Republican Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) by about 65%. Hickenlooper’s big Q1 […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) If a COVID-19 vaccine is developed, what about so-called “anti-vaxxers” who refuse it for religious or philosophical reasons? It turns out Colorado, where vaccinations are currently recommended but not required for adults, has the authority to force you to roll up your sleeve and get the shot. But experts say it’s […]

On Monday, President Trump held a 2 1/2 hour coronavirus briefing that was mostly about self-congratulation and media bashing. As Ashley Parker writes for The Washington Post: Yet in the middle of this deadly pandemic that shows no obvious signs of abating, the president made clear that the paramount concern for Trump is Trump — […]

The latest data from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment shows that Weld County, with a population around 350,000, now has the most number of COVID-19 fatalities of any county in the state–more than several counties with around twice Weld County’s population including the City and County of Denver. We noted a week […]
Have a nice “Good Friday” and a Happy Easter. If we work together, maybe we can convince President Trump to pardon a turkey on Sunday. Now, let’s Get More Smarter.

As the COVID-19 pandemic escalated into a global emergency, and particularly in recent weeks as even many political conservatives in the United States began to take the crisis seriously, Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado emerged as a national symbol of opposition to both public health orders to control the spread and stimulus spending to soften […]
UPDATE: From The Washington Post: Sanders’s decision closes one of the most remarkable chapters in modern political history. His advocacy for sweeping liberal ideas, such as Medicare-for-all and tuition-free public college, shifted the national debate over the role of government. His unexpected success in the first three primary contests made him the best-performing socialist contender […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) As scientists across the globe are racing to develop a vaccine against COVID-19, Republicans in key Colorado counties voted overwhelmingly in recent weeks against any state vaccination requirements for children or anyone else. In a platform position passed by a 58 to 19 vote last week, the Adams County, Colorado, Republican […]

From time to time over the years, we’ve had occasion to sit back and marvel that the outlandish editorial pronouncements of the devoutly conservative Phil Anschutz-owned Colorado Springs Gazette. From accusing Gov. Jared Polis of “ties to the Ku Klux Klan” for misplaced dramatic effect to their comically absurd hagiographical write-ups about 2018 GOP gubernatorial […]
