This is a cross-post from my blog at Societas Eruditorum North America:

Last night, the city of Ferguson, Missouri burned after a Grand Jury failed to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown. The same weekend, a 12-year old black male in Cleveland was gunned down after he reportedly failed to drop an airsoft pistol at the orders of police.

Both of these deaths serve as a call to have a national dialogue on many things, but we won’t. We can’t. While I agree that peaceful protest is important, and sometimes not-so-peaceful protest, it isn’t going to solve things in this situation.

Preside over the fastest recovery-of-infrastructure I have EVER seen following a natural disaster. Grow Colorado's economy. Be a rational, reasonable voice for any issue. Stand on principles and ethics when it's deemed unpopular to do so. Really, there isn't much to not like about Gov. John Hickenlooper (D - CO). Even his campaign style, his direct campaign not running negative ads and focusing on progress, is even a thirst-quenching drink of cool water in the cesspool of lies and deceit that is politics.

Thankfully, Gov. Hickenlooper retains his position as Chief Executive of Colorado. But by an "asshairs" margin. Yes, I said it: asshairs. Why?
