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 […]
The latest report in a long series chronicling the state’s greatest conservative bastion, and the consequences of anti-government ideology run amok. You wanted to know what Grover Norquist meant by “drowning government in a bathtub?” As the Denver Post reports, it’s getting kind of medieval: More than a third of the streetlights in Colorado Springs […]
NOTE: We’ll be discussing this on AM760 this morning between 7am-10am Colorado time. Tune in on your local radio dial or at www.am760.net. As the recession drives state coffers into the deep red, we’re seeing many tax fights erupt all over the country – fights that are bringing out the best and worst in our […]
I’ve been pissed at Bennet for supporting the bankers in cramdown, and I’m pissed at Romanoff right now for hiring Pat Caddell. At various times I’ve supported one or the other. But I, and we, have to get beyond that. Democrats on this site need to ultimately get behind the candidate who can beat Jane […]
(Bumped into Monday by popular demand – promoted by Colorado Pols) Friday, the campaign of Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff announced several new hires with a national footprint–strategist Joe Trippi of Howard Dean’s 2004 presidential campaign, Celinda Lake, most recently having served as the pollster for Massachusetts Senate candidate Martha Coakley, Liz Chadderdon, a direct-mail campaign […]
Preface: Some of this text has been shared before. Each year, on the anniversary of my friend’s death, I light a candle for him. I read what I wrote about him, and renew my commitment to the cause. ************************************************** My close friend Ben killed himself about this time of the year, when we were college […]
( – promoted by Danny the Red (hair)) We tend to get locked into our political arguments and in so doing paint a one dimensional portrait of our opponents as evil Sith lords who, if only they would listen to our arguments, would realize that we are right and what they propose is wrong. And […]
[New Title] All energy, including renewables, brings trade offs and impacts. Siting of facilities will remain a major issue–whether its wind farms, geothermal or concentrated solar. Sorting through these complexities as efforts are increased to exploit renewable sources, is challenge enough if we are serious about embracing this future. Now Rep. Cory Gardner is […]
The United States chalked up impressive economic growth of 5.7 percent at an annualized basis in the final three months of 2009, the Commerce Department reported Jan. 29. The growth is the fastest in six years. Chart – US GDP Most of the growth is related to inventories. The American economy is approximately 70 percent […]
As we all get ready to hear President Obama eloquently lay out what problems the middle class faces and his roadmap to fix those problems in the SOTU, I thought it was a good time to point out the fundamental cause of the problem that no one seems to be addressing. High Taxes? No. […]
UPDATE: Yes, ex-lobbyist Sen. Pat Steadman (D) was pushing this bill too. Somebody should really have a talk with him about appearances, the bill was no less a PR disaster with Steadman pitching it. According to Lynn Bartels, GOP Rep. Larry Liston claims there were “some” other Democrats on board as well–nobody willing to say […]
Our medical system is in trouble in lots of big and small ways. My health insurance premium climbed 13% this year (COBRA). That is almost five times the 2009 inflation rate of 2.7%. (1) Yet health insurance profits are not particularly high, ranging from 2% to 4%. (2) Compare that to Apple at 16% (Net […]
For those of you at the Pols event at Wynkoop, you know that I was considering a job offer that will take me away from the fine State of Colorado. Much like the Flying Dog Brewery, I’m moving back east to take advantage of an opportunity. Yesterday, I signed an offer letter to become the […]
By popular demand (and validating press coverage): Fox 31 giving us cover to even be talking about this: “Normally, the first side to invoke Hitler loses in politics,” said political analyst Eric Sondermann. “But this may not be in the same category.” Sondermann, the son of two Holocaust survivors, is reacting to a new viral […]
(Josh is about to make somebody cry… – promoted by Middle of the Road) Ignoring the crazy, or at least crazier, fringe faction of his base, one-time Tea Party favorite and soon to be former state senator, Josh Penry has endorsed Jane ‘The Other’ Norton for U.S. Senate. Penry announced yesterday that he was endorsing […]
*Longmont residents, so sorry. The Daily Times-Call reports: Mayor Bryan Baum wants to limit the amount of time the public is allowed to address the City Council at the beginning of council meetings… “Honestly, I get tired by the end of it, and when we do the city’s business, we need to be sharp,” said […]
Last legislative session, state Sen. Morgan Carroll introduced a bill to ban the practice of insurance companies paying out bonuses to employees based on claims they deny, delay, or policies they cancel or rescind–otherwise known as the “bad faith bonus” bill. An idea that, if properly promoted, we think could gain a great deal of […]
From Fox 31 News: It’s a small sign igniting a big debate. An official state of Colorado Adopt-a-Highway placard announcing that a one-mile long stretch of US Highway 85 is sponsored not by the Boy Scouts or the Lions Club, but by the Nazi Party of Colorado. Members call themselves the National Socialist Movement. They […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel reports: Secretary of State Bernie Buescher wants to save the state – and the Republican Party – some time and money. That’s why he’s calling campaign finance legal experts from all sides into his office today to find out exactly what the U.S. Supreme Court did in its decision that […]
As most of you know, the conservative online “news” outlet Face the State had its plug unceremoniously pulled last summer by its key funder, and since then there’s been a bit of a gap in the echo-chamber messaging capability of the right. Well yes, that’s true, you can probably make the argument that the gap […]
Leading conservative columnist–and Colorado Springs transplant–Michelle Malkin unleashed a furious tirade Friday against what she calls “McCain Regression Syndrome” in the aftermath of last week’s GOP victory in the Massachusetts Senate race, speaking out against Sen. John McCain’s “clinging to the coattails” of the resurgent right flank of the Republican Party. Malkin’s Exhibit A? Senate […]
I would leave this to middle but I have to go in a few minutes and I must express my rage regarding Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. When it comes to social decay I always go British When it comes to oppression I go Irish and when it comes to pure pissed off I […]
Insomnia. Cure: Study FEC filings by Bennet for Colorado detailing individual contributions through the first three quarters of 2009. Not just Bennet for Colorado, it turns out, but also Bennet for New York, Bennet for the Districolumbia, Bennet for California…friends from all over! For the period in question, in fact, 1,458 separate contributions (counting each […]
My good friend and community organizer Jason Bosch of Argusfest has a special testament from Reverend Billy of the Church of Stop Shopping TONIGHT!!! at The Mercury Café at 2199 California st at 8:30 this evening. Reverend Billy is a holy man with timely warning, which shall bless those who choose to open their eyes […]
(No front license plate! Egads, he found the silver bullet that will slay the budget beast. – promoted by Colorado Pols) Senate Bill 10-029 Here’s a sample of his “efficiencies in governmental entities”: a 2-year statewide hiring freeze Eliminating all bonuses paid to any state employee for 2 years Reducing by 3% the number of […]
