“Schaffer Family Values” On Facebook Display?

Some of you may remember that back in May, photos of Governor Bill Ritter’s son August hosting a party for friends at the Governor’s Mansion (with beer prominently featured) made their way from the online social networking site Facebook into the pages of the Denver Post, as well as local TV news. Republican-leaning blogs and […]

More checkbook environmentalism from Jared Polis

I really don’t have anything personal against Jared, but the checkbook environmentalism really goads me.  The latest example is tomorrow night’s Colorado Environmental Coalition 2008 gala at which Jared has paid high money to be a top-line sponsor.   How much has he paid?  Three times as much as every other group attending, almost all […]

Why it’s time to close the book on the Clintons –

When someone is expressing how you feel more eloquently or convincingly than yourself, it’s wise to get out of the way and let them speak. Camille Paglia writing in Solon.com does just that. Hillary’s disdain for masculinity fits right into the classic feminazi package, which is why Hillary acts on Gloria Steinem like catnip. Steinem’s […]

A Blogspot Book – Continued

A few of you asked me to post when the next chapter was up. And so you are to blame for my shameless plug. Yes, I’ve gone and put Chapter 1 out there for the world, or at least a few of you, to read. And judge. And poke fun at. So take a look […]

A Blogspot Book

After our twin boys were born in Boston, my husband and I moved back to Tampa, primarily so I could stay home with my children. And also so my mother could provide free babysitting every weekend. For the rest of her life. Ten minutes into my new gig, I realized the key to emotional happiness […]

Tell All Book Shows Hypocrisy of Bush’s Faith Based Initiatives

http://www.crooksand… David Kuo’s book “Tempting Faith” has come out and details the Bush administration’s take on the religious right. Needless to say it is not portraying Bush and Co. in the most flattering light. The link has a clip of Keith Olbermann discussing the book, and it is certainly interesting to say the least. I […]

Lauren Boebert Living The Kid Rock High Life On Campaign Cash

As veteran local political reporter Susan Greene writes for the UK Daily Mail, Colorado’s carpetbagging cavalcade of checkbook chicanery Rep. Lauren Boebert is at it again, caught spending donor cash on a high-dollar trip to see rumored at least once-boyfriend Kid Rock last May in Texas: The MAGA Republican’s campaign committee shelled out $925 on […]

Trump Wants To Pre-Empt Colorado’s AI Laws By Fiat

As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Kalen McCain reports first locally, the Trump administration is preparing another boundary-pushing executive order that seeks to pre-empt Colorado law regulating the use of artificial intelligence in decision-making roles that could affect individual rights, opening yet another front in Donald Trump’s relentless expansion of presidential power and in the regulation […]

Just POTUS Calling For A Colorado Congressman’s Death

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage: [image or embed] — Rep. Jason Crow (@crow.house.gov) November 20, 2025 at 12:15 PM —– As Politico reports, a video recorded by Democratic lawmakers with military service experience reminding members of the […]

Colorado Libertarian Party Changes Course, No Longer GOP-Lite

The Colorado Libertarian Party is dead. Long live the Colorado Libertarian Party. As Seth Klamann reports for The Denver Post, the CLP’s weird quasi-alliance with the Colorado Republican Party that led to a strange “Libertarian Pledge” is now a thing of the past: Two weeks ago, the leadership of the Libertarian Party of Colorado sued […]

Don’t Be Like the “Denver Communists”

The second big “No Kings Day” protest took place on Saturday and attracted an estimated 7 million people across the country . The vast majority of protestors peacefully demonstrated in a manner that defied the silly Republican talking points that you were a “terrorist” or “hate America“; this sort of public protest is exactly what […]

Gadflies, Unite! These People for Governor, or Congress, or Whatever

Every election cycle brings its share of gadfly candidates, from the inexplicable first-timers to those who have run again and again (we’re looking at you, Greg Lopez). Thus far the 2026 election cycle has dozens upon dozens of candidates seeking all manner of political office. If history is any guide, 75% of these candidates will […]

At Least It’s Not Your State Republican Party…Yet

As the Texas Tribune’s Renzo Downey reports, the Texas Republican Party is embarking on a purity purge of their own elected officials that would make former Colorado Republican Party chairman and would-be state purger-in-chief Dave Williams blush: The Republican Party of Texas’ governing board is set to meet in the state Capitol on Saturday to […]

Gang That Can’t Rule Straight Spoils Wannabe Political Starlet’s Debut

As the Denver Post’s Nick Coltrain reports, Republicans in Colorado House District 14 got a few days ahead of themselves in convening to appoint a replacement for suddenly resigned House Minority Leader Rose Pugliese, and by breaking the rule requiring ten days’ notice before doing the deed, they’ve imperiled the accession of gun rights advocate […]

Shutdown Bonus for Trump: No (Official) Bad Employment Numbers

The government shutdown does have at least one political benefit for President Trump: At least he won’t have to explain more terrible job numbers. As NBC News reports, employment is heading in the wrong direction: U.S. companies shed 32,000 jobs in September, according to the payroll processing company ADP, a surprising decline that adds to […]

“Both Ways Barb” Kirkmeyer Earns Her Nickname Again

State Senator Barb Kirkmeyer (R-Brighton), now a Republican candidate for Governor in 2026, has been dubbed “Both Ways Barb” for her tendency to offer conflicting opinions on a variety of subjects. Kirkmeyer showed again recently how a selective memory of her own political and policy positions continues to get her in trouble. In a recent […]

New Epstein Estate Trump Disclosures Test MAGA Faithful Gullibility

As NBC News reports, yesterday was a pretty bad day for Republicans wishing along with President Donald Trump that the unrelenting controversy over the case of deceased pedophile billionaire and former close friend of Trump Jeffrey Epstein would have subsided over the long August congressional recess. It didn’t, and it’s getting worse by the minute: […]

Plugging The Big Bad Billion-Dollar Budget Hole Wasn’t Easy, Fun, Or Permanent

As Marianne Goodland reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog, yesterday Colorado lawmakers wrapped up a special session of the Colorado General Assembly primarily focused on overcoming the usual GOP minority delay tactics, and closing the billion-dollar hole opened in the state’s formerly balanced budget by the passage of the “We’re All Going To […]

TUESDAY UPDATE: The stupid…it burns… Here’s Rep. Ken “Dildo” DeGraaf (R-Colorado Springs) arguing that the State of Colorado should begin doing genetic identification of post-abortion remains in order to identify the responsible male so that he can repay the state somehow:   Or, if you prefer, here’s Rep.
