(Not about Colorado, but sometimes the big news isn’t we guess – promoted by Colorado Pols) The more I read about this, the more it appears that Iran is at a tipping point. Up to now Iran had a limited democracy. But that democracy did support robust discussion and the ability to select the representatives […]
Watch this YouTube about the best Mayor in North Amercia. She is 88 years old, runs a debt-free city in Canada and has $700 million in reserves; she won her last election by 92%, has been mayor for over 30 years, still ice skates and shoots pucks, bowls a good game, and shot a […]

Salazar, whose 3rd Congressional District includes Grand Junction, where Rocky Mountain Health Plans is based, noted in his invitation to the president that the health care system in […]
from the Denver Post Just when it seemed Colorado’s economy was improving, tax collections are backsliding and there are new worries the state budget will be $150 million to $300 million deeper in the hole than expected, a top lawmaker warned Thursday. And that means goodbye to prisons & colleges “Do we close some community […]
{First, a cheap plug for my blog Senate Guru.} While 2010 will be chock-full of exciting races at all levels of government. In 2009, though, there will be two marquee races across the country: the gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey. Republicans are favored in both races, but both races should come down to […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Just a big thank you to Coloradopols.com and everyone here for all the help you’ve been over the last 3+ months as I’ve hosted the drive-time show for KKZN. It was a big challenge for me – I’ve never hosted radio for such an extended period of time, and […]
From today’s Denver Post: Memo from David Kenney to staff: Quit visiting blogs and posting anonymous comments that praise or defend Gov. Bill Ritter. Or, in online parlance, enough with the sock puppets. The Kenney Group is handling Ritter’s re-election bid, and Kenney learned Sunday that a blogger had traced four similar anonymous postings praising […]
A variation on our recurring “At Least He’s Not Your Legislator” series, from the AP: In this friendly little ranching town, “hello” is wearing out its welcome. And Leonso Canales Jr. is happy as heck. At his urging, the Kleberg County commissioners on Monday unanimously designated “heaven-o” as the county’s official greeting. The reason: “hello” […]
One of the most powerful tools used over the last 10 years to take down the white supremist groups was people sued them in civil court for the costs of the actions of their members. It sucked up all their financing. Now we have numerous video clips of people like Bill O’Rielly and Rush Limbaugh […]
Some much-needed good news for Gov. Bill Ritter, whose “new energy economy” efforts will be one of the keys to his re-election bid: According to the Pew Charitable Trust, Colorado is one of just three states ahead of the national average for green job creation. According to a press release from the Governor’s office: Colorado […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) “This isn’t an either/or proposition between the interests of workers and the interests of shareholders. That’s the old argument. The new argument is that the American economy is not and has never been a zero-sum game. When workers are prospering, they buy products that make businesses prosper.” — President […]
As the Denver Post reports: Some of the state’s movers and shakers have unsuccessfully tried to get Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper to challenge Gov. Bill Ritter in a primary next year. Hickenlooper confirmed Tuesday that he’s been offered campaign donations and a peek at flattering polls. He said he’s told everyone “no,” and not just […]
(apologies for brevity of report – written during lunch break) For those of us disappointed in the way Gore has been treated by the past president – this is some great news and a great use of former President Gore. from Huffpo: Gore To North Korea? Obama May Send Ex-VP To Negotiate Journalists’ Release President […]
One of my highest priorities, when elected to Congress, is to support initiatives that move our country toward greater economic justice. In the short term that means reforming health care; providing universal health care and eventually removing business from the business of providing health care. It means ensuring all our citizens have access to a […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) As members of Congress we opine and work on many issues of importance to our constituents. However, it’s also important to have a legislative focus. Truly effective legislators not only cover broad issue areas but also go deep in a couple areas of expertise. While I am active as […]
(Rep. Coffman, feel free to respond and we’ll promote – promoted by Colorado Pols) In my campaign to win the Congressional seat in Colorado’s 6th District, I make three pledges; to run a respectful campaign based on the issues, to support the President’s agenda and to provide leadership with clear priorities. My priorities are security […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) I was invited down to the capitol for Governor Ritter’s end of bill signing time (or some title like that) press conference today. I’ve never been to one of these before so it was interesting to participate. It seems almost like a set piece of theater where everyone knows […]
OK, this has nothing to do with politics, but it’s too fun to pass up. One of my favorite tweeters is @lostfortcollins, who also runs the blog lostfortcollins.com. The tweets and blogs provide lots of interesting tidbits about Fort Collins’ history. One piece of that history is a place called Debbie Duz Donuts, which did […]
The Iowa flood of 2008 involved most of the rivers in eastern Iowa beginning around June 8, 2008 and ending about July 1. Flooding continued on the Upper Mississippi River in the southeastern portion of the state for several more days. Being the anniversay is upcoming in 5-6 days … let us recap Duration: June […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) As reported by the Associated Press. Ignoring catcalls from angry union members, Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter signed a package of bills he said will help struggling families and workers during the recession. Members of a union representing grocery store workers yelled at the governor, calling him a “liar” and […]
We weren’t the only ones who commented that calling Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor a racist probably wasn’t a good strategic move for conservative critics, so there’s no need to say “We told you so.” Actually, it was so blatantly obvious that this was a stupid line of attack that “we told you so” would […]
We all talk about Ritter’s political decisions sticking it to labor in favor of large companies with unionized workers. Most of us find his veto of unemployment for locked out workers anti-fairness. But at the end of the day it is a political decision and if he wants to make his political decisions as a […]
In the weeks since the legislative session ended, controversy has been building over the selection by Colorado State University of GOP businessman Joe Blake for the position of “chancellor”–a position created anew for the CSU system, based in Denver and in theory responsible for “big ticket” fundraising for the school and legislative lobbying. The selection […]
Joe Hanel of The Durango Herald laments the small press presence at the State Capitol for I Want My Rocky: I’ve been hung over too much this year. It’s not because I suddenly developed a drinking habit. But we have a tradition in the state Capitol press corps of buying drinks for colleagues who are […]
