October 6th, 2008 · No Comments

Ritter again campaigning on your nickel

September 30th, 2008 · No Comments

Denver Daily News reports that Gov. Ritter’s administration is again using your tax dollars to mislead you on election day.  This time, rather than promoting his own tax increase, Ritter’s Office of Economic Development is pouring cold water on Amendment 46, which would prohibit discrimmination based on race and gender:
The Colorado Civil Rights Initiative (CCRI) [...]

On energy, Paris Hilton makes more sense than Ken Salazar

August 8th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Colorado’s junior U.S. Senator Ken “Silly Sally” Salazar added another layer of nonsense to his no-energy policy recently when he suggested releasing 70 million barrels of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
To be fair — and proving once again that “even a stopped clock is right twice a day” — there is some merit [...]

Even if gas goes to $10, Salazar says no to drilling

August 5th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Just how much is Colorado senator Ken Salazar drinking the do-nothing Democrats’ anti-exploration koolaide these days?
So much that before the Senate adjourned for summer recess, he stood time after time after time to block attempts to allowing drilling on the Outer Continental Shelf if gas more than doubles in price.

Ewegen’s latest anti-TABOR tirade

August 4th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Denver Post’s big-government dinosaur, Bob Ewegen, proclaims that “the good folks” are finally back in charge — i.e., those who want to make it easiest for government to spend every last dime are back in charge at the state capitol and taxpayers are about to take it in the shorts.
Ewegen is, of course, cheerleading for [...]

Obama: Vanity or divinity?

July 21st, 2008 · 2 Comments

Washington Post’s Charles Krauthammer is among a handful of must-read columnists because he virtually always has something insightful to say and because, on occasions like this, he says it so very well:
What Obama does not seem to understand is that the Brandenburg Gate is something you earn.  President Ronald Reagan earned the right to speak [...]

Post says it’s OK to politick on taxpayers’ dime

July 9th, 2008 · No Comments

Never mind that the law says you can’t use taxpayer dollars to do homework for an ill-prepared (or well-prepared, for that matter) ballot initiative — or that the courts have said the same.
The Denver Post, in an editorial that reads like a Supreme Court ruling, has given its dispensation for the Governor’s minions to flout [...]

Ritter on O’Reilly: I’m so confused

July 9th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Like Barack Obama, Gov. Bill Ritter has trouble articulating when he can’t follow a script. On Monday, the O’Reilly Factor showed an on-the-street interview with Ritter, asking whether he would sign “Jessica’s Law,” a mandatory 25-year minimum sentence for sex offenders who prey on children.
Ritter at first tried to ignore the O’Reilly Factor reporter, [...]
