Actually, We Like You In “The Crosshairs”

Nothing but game face from Rep. John Salazar’s Republican challengers over Sarah Palin placing him in her now-infamous “crosshairs,” the Grand Junction Sentinel reports: Sarah Palin’s targeting of Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District will backfire on the two Republicans vying to run against Democrat incumbent John Salazar,  according to Salazar’s campaign. Campaign spokesman Ronnie Carleton also […]

New lows from Bennet campaign. Or is it?

The e-mail/press-release below was forwarded to me by somebody who received it from an ardent supporter of Michael Bennet.   If this is authentic and something the Bennet campaign sent out then Bennet has stooped to new lows in his attacks on Romanoff and he is clearly hearing the footsteps of the masses turning against […]

Illegal Pretending to Be Lawyer, Sh/be Illegal Pretending to Be a Mortgage Broker

The DenPost today reported that criminal charfes were filed against a guy acting as a lawyer who was not a lawyer. Technically, right now in Colorado it is illegal to pretend to be a mortgage broker, ie, to operate without a license. But in the recent brouhaha about potentially altering Colorado’s oversight of mortgage brokers, […]

Suthers Joins GOP Health Care Legal Challenge

Just up at The Spot: Colorado Attorney General John Suthers said today he would join at least a dozen other state attorneys general in challenging the health care reform bill passed by Congress Sunday. “The United State Constitution enshrines a form of limited government to protect the rights of the states under a system of […]

Senator Bennet’s Leadership Draws Unfair Criticism in DenPost

Recent experience suggests that several things are required to execute a successful political campaign. It’s been documented . Things like 1. Communicate a clear and consistent message 2. Persuade, don’t educate 3. Respond quickly to attacks 4. Run a tight ship with a clear chain of command or 1) Understand your constituency 2) have a […]

Don’t let Amazon.com push Colorado around

Colorado doesn’t take well to being bullied. Yesterday, one of the world’s biggest online retailers, Amazon, announced that it will no longer pay referral fees to Colorado bloggers and nonprofit charities who advertise Amazon’s products on their websites. The reason? Amazon is unhappy about a law passed in our state, asking online retailers to help […]

Kumbaya, Natural Gas Edition?

A new deal worked out between Governor Bill Ritter and Xcel Energy is sure to complicate some GOP election-related talking points, and at the same time be a really great move economically and environmentally. The Grand Junction Sentinel reported over the weekend: Gov. Bill Ritter announced a major piece of legislation Friday that would boost […]

Thoughts on the Cold War, labor, and immigration

United States foreign policy regarding immigration has a long history. The government began limiting immigration from Eastern Europe long before the cold war. With the Bolshevik revolution succeeding in 1917 and the International Workers of the World , or IWW promotiing syndacalist policies, the US government began classifying quotas for legal immigration and reducing the […]

Oh Noes, Politics!

You’ll enjoy this article in today’s Durango Herald: Democrats are ripping Republican state Rep. Scott Tipton for missing a tricky vote last week on the agriculture budget. The Cortez legislator called the charge “the ultimate cheap shot” because he was excused in advance for the vote. The spat offers a glimpse into how politically savvy […]

Monday Open Thread

“The house of delusions is cheap to build but drafty to live in.” –Alfred Edward Housman

Who Is Barack Obama?

In 2007-2008 conservative “establishment” Democrats, plus feminists, had a clear choice: Hillary. Self-proclaimed progressives could hear echoes of their sentiments in John Edwards. And then there was Barack Obama, inspirational speaker without peer. Yes, he seemed more conservative than Edwards, but perhaps that was just caution, an appeal to the broad middle of an electorate […]

Three Years Ago This Week

Excerpts from President Obama’s Speech in Springfield, Illinois February 10, 2007 …I know you didn’t come here just for me, you came here because you believe in what this country can be. In the face of war, you believe there can be peace. In the face of despair, you believe there can be hope. In […]

Highlands Ranch Showdown-GOP Senate Candidates Support “Constitution”

The Colorado Statesman has an interesting article about a recent match up between four GOP U.S. Senate candidates at a South Metro Chamber group’s candidate forum. Clive Tidwell went for the Tea Party vote, while Jane Norton and Tom Wiens seemed to spar more for the business constituents.  Steve Barton was also present but Ken […]

Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY): New tax cuts for the wealthy and big businesses

Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) is proposing a tax cut that benefits big businesses and high-wage employees. He proposes a Payroll Tax Holiday for “any private-sector employer” that is not “biased toward either low-wage or high-wage workers.” (1) “Any private-sector employer that hires a worker who had been unemployed for at least 60 days will not […]

Agriculture from the perspective of an ancient culturalist

and from a very intelligent software engineer in India: Wisdom of the uncivilized crowds Jan. 28th, 2010 at 8:55 AM Picture this: A remote indian village in the Ganges delta a few hundred years ago. The farmer starts his day by letting his flock of ducks into his irrigated fields. The water from the river […]

Obama’s Speech

Obama said in his speech last night that he understands our anxiety. But anxiety isn’t what I feel. I’m disgusted. How dare he appoint Bernanke and Geithner? How dare he waste an entire year trying to get Republican support for HCR only to have the final product be a total give away to the insurance […]

“GOP Fuzzy Math Calculators” Set Session’s Tone

Tim Hoover writes for the Denver Post’s new state politics blog The Spot: Liberal group ProgressNow Colorado delivered a special, furry gift to each Republican lawmaker at the Capitol on Wednesday and wants to give GOP gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis one as well… Michael Huttner, founder of the liberal political activist group, said in a […]

What the Oughts Brought: Part One

Now that 2010 is here (and most of you are back to work after the holidays), it’s time to take our look back on the decade that was. We asked your opinions on what the Oughts Brought, and now it’s time to start revealing the winners. We’ll be here with this all week, folks, so […]

Why the Failure of America is Imminent and why it will be good for the American Psyche

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 […]

Sorting Through the Villafuerte Hype

Adams County Deputy DA Paul Nitze with the best analysis of the brouhaha over U.S. Attorney nominee Stephanie Villafuerte we’ve seen, laying out the unspun facts in a column today: Late in Gov. Ritter’s 2006 campaign, when GOP candidate Bob Beauprez knew he was on the ropes, he took a cheap shot at the governor, […]

Liquor laws and other weirdity in suburban Denver

I spend most of my time in the burbs on the east side close to home or further south visiting family. I’m downtown for stuff from time to time. And I’ve lived enough other places to miss Trader Joes* and other regional retailers (Ikea, In & Out, and others) and water sport and and. I […]

Oil Shale Shills-Probably Not Evil but Certainly Wrong

Today’s Denver Post has an op-ed titled ‘Oil Shale Opponents Aren’t Evil Just Wrong’ which appears primarily to be a poorly disguised pitch for the authors’ global warming denial movie. That is my conclusion, as they fail to even mention, let alone address, any of the many legitimate concerns that are part of the public […]

Greetings from Colorado’s 64th Congressional District!

The Obama Administration continues its campaign of transparency and competence with their wonderfully transparent web site, Recovery.gov. At this web site you can discover so many miraculous things. Take our state of Colorado. To date I can think of only 7 congressmen and women to represent us in our nation’s capital. Until today, I thought […]

Jaeger’s $230 Million Folly: Rueter Hess Reservoir

If you have driven up I-25 from Castle Rock any time lately, you might have noticed a new construction project going on in a valley to the southwest of the Lincoln exit. It appears to be a massive dam, large enough that you would expect the lake it contained to be as massive as Cherry […]
