In your Friday news dump yesterday, this brief AP story: Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler is investigating 85 people who may have been illegally registered to vote. A spokesman for Gessler says jail records are being checked for people being detained as illegal immigrants to see if they match names in the state’s voter […]
(Part of the diary is moved below the fold for space considerations. – promoted by ClubTwitty) It’s been fun to watch politicos jumping up and down to catch the attention of Hispanic media outlets, when there was a time not long ago when such outlets were ignored and ignored again. Hence, in May, President […]
A commentary by American Patriot The powers that be have decreed that the area of the Pine Ridge fire will be closed to humans for at least a year. No doubt they can show sound scientific and biological reasons for that decree. Equally certain are the human backlashes that will follow and which will be […]
(A well written explanation for a reckless act. Just kidding. Great diary, MADCO. – promoted by ellbee) The primary is over, the general is supposedly in full swing but I have not yet seen any coherent explanation from anyone why they intend to vote for Romney. “Anyone but Obama” doesn’t really count. It’s the […]
After GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney made it out of fire-ravaged Colorado yesterday, without having to answer questions about prior campaign-trail statements disparaging calls for “more firefighters,” a press release this morning from Aurora firefighters via the Colorado AFL-CIO brings the issue to the fore–hitting both Romney, and Colorado congressional Republicans who have voted to […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Obama Administration Regional Director in Health and Human Services, Marguerite Salazar, was in Denver Monday to discuss the Affordable Care Act (ACA, or “Obamacare”) and what it means for people living in Colorado. Hosted by Senator Mark Udall, she held a press conference with the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative’s […]
( – promoted by ClubTwitty) For more than six weeks, since May 21, Rep. Mike Coffman’s constituents have been asking him for a Town Hall in Aurora so they can talk to him about the issues that matter to them. There are now more than 500 signatures on a petition that states, “We have been […]
The Colorado Independent’s John Tomasic: “The only news is that it’s no longer news that a Republican lawmaker spews anti-Muslim bigotry,” said Ibrahim Hooper, communications director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Hooper was referring to the fact that state Senator Kevin Grantham, a Cañon City Republican, recently said he saw merit in a proposal […]
GAME OVER: EVEN THE DEFENDANT COLORADO PERA DISAGREES WITH THE DENVER DISTRICT COURT DECISION IN JUSTUS v. STATE. In December of 2009, Colorado PERA officials responded to questions relating to contractual public pension rights in Colorado that were posed by the Joint Budget Committee (JBC) of the Colorado General Assembly. PERA’s responses to the JBC […]
President Obama just made his pitch to Congress and the American people to extend the Bush tax cuts for the middle class, but not for folks making $250K a year. Mitt Romney and the Republicans promptly countered with their call to extend the Bush tax cuts for “all Americans.” To which I say, “Wait a […]
I went on Medicare yesterday. You know Medicare – the single-payer healthcare system for America’s senior citizens. I like Medicare. I gives me peace of mind – not just because I know I won’t have to file for bankruptcy if I should someday get really sick and not be able to pay for treatment. More […]
The Escape Artists: How Obama’s Team Fumbled the Recovery This book is another look at how the Obama administration handle the economic crisis it inherited.

A Commentary by American Patriot Story links below (for those who don’t know the story) They say diplomacy is the ability to tell a cowboy to go to hell in such a nice way that he looks forward to the trip. But they also say that war is just diplomacy by other means. But there […]
Something in the air? Our second “At least it’s not your…” item today, Tampa Bay Times: U.S. Rep. C.W. Bill Young has created an Internet buzz by the way he answered a question about raising the minimum wage this week. When a man, who identified himself as Pepe, asked Young whether he supported hiking the […]
A fascinating bit of video–we don’t know the exact recorded date but from a campaign speech given by Joe Coors, GOP candidate for CD-7 running against incumbent Rep. Ed Perlmutter. We would advise some revisions to Mr. Coors’ biography as speechified: JOE COORS: …Which is now the largest industrial ceramics manufacturer in the world, making […]
THE PERA “BASE BENEFIT” HAS “CHANGED,” IT IS CONTRACTUAL. In the initial Denver District Court Decision in the case Justus v. State, the Denver District Court concludes that the PERA COLA pension benefit has “changed” over time, and therefore the PERA COLA benefit is not constitutionally protected. In addition, the Denver District Court found that […]
That questions isn’t really asked here, but… given that this was written by Bloomberg, not the uberLiberal MSNBC or DP… http://www.sfgate.com/business… The city of Colorado Springs fought this fire with 39 fewer firefighters and 50 fewer police than it had just five years ago, thanks to massive tax cuts. My heart goes out to every […]

(Interesting diary, and it’s obvious you put quite a bit of time into it. Thanks for doing that. – promoted by ellbee) With the Primary Election season concluded, a lot of people have been asking which districts are the best opportunities and the greatest risks for Democrats in the 2012 election. This post will cover […]

Does Jon Caldara really believe it? This weekend, reporter Tim Hoover of the Denver paper wrote an excellent recap of the “Hands Off My Healthcare” protest organized by Americans For Prosperity at the Colorado Capitol on Friday afternoon. In welcome contrast to some recent whitewashes of outlandish conservative antics on the steps of the Capitol […]
(A fascinating peek into trackerland – promoted by Colorado Pols) Image courtesy NorthDecoder.com Flip-camera-carrying trackers are seen by some as shadowy and slimy, but why? All they do is collect video of candidates saying stuff like, “I am pro-life, and I’ll answer the next question. I don’t believe in the exceptions of rape and incest.” […]
FOX 31’s Eli Stokols: President Obama is set to arrive at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs around noon Friday and will spend an hour or two touring the fire lines. Congressman Doug Lamborn, R-Colorado Springs, will be with the President aboard Air Force One. It’s likely to be an awkward flight given that […]
We were taken aback a couple of weeks ago to see freshman Rep. Cory Gardner of Colorado call for an investigation into the possibility–based on nothing but uninformed speculation–that federal roadless area policies (meaning “the government”) might have contributed to the High Park Fire that ravaged the mountains above Fort Collins. Gardner admitted that he […]
