Cheers! To alternatives to Denver. Two great places to stay in the Denver Metro area are Golden and Boulder. Both have easy access to Denver on Public Transportation. Don't mind a little longer ride? I recommend Nederland. If you can't take the heat, Nederland, at 8250 ft, is perfect.
Cheers...The Tancredo Juggernaut rolls on. El Tancredo hires a Christian Coalition heavy and former Pat Buchanan supporter to run his campaign. Shelly Uscinski voted to prohibit the portrayal of homosexuality in a positive light, turned the Merrimak school board into her own forum for discussion of creationism, school prayer and homosexuality and is, generally, of the very far right wing of the GOP. If there was any question about the kind of campaign El Tom will run, they have been answered.
Cheers! Colorado is looking into more development of hydropower to meet energy demands on the Western Slope.
Cheers! Udall inches closer to being in.
"I think Democrats are better tapped into those beliefs among Western voters and Coloradans in particular, and that's why we've been winning elections," he said. "It's not so much about party as it is about the right leadership."
Jeers to Andrew Romanoff. Education reform is threatening to reform our educational system into the toilet.
The report by the Commission on the Skills of the American Workforce, released last month, suggests adopting a European-style approach to high school by ending classes after 10th grade for most students, using some of the savings to expand pre-school and boost starting teacher pay to $45,000 a year -- now the median salary.
Cheers to Kathleen Ensz. If Musgrave can send unsolicited lies to Ensz and call it free speech, why can't Ensz send dog crap to Musgrave? FREE KATHLEEN ENSZ!
Jeers. The Rocky will do ANYTHING to throw a turd in the DNC punchbowl.
Cheers. Bill Ritter got rave reviews from Stateline.com for his focus on energy issues.
He called on lawmakers and all Coloradans to improve electricity efficiency, support wind-energy, reduce reliance on fossil fuels and support energy research. "Energy is today's version of the space race of the '60s and the technology race of the '80s and '90s," he said.
Cheers. The New York Times compares Obama to Gary Hart and asks: "Where's the Beef?"
Cheers. Ken Salazar is co-sponsor of stronger ethics legislation. But don't scour the Rocky or the Post for this information. And don't ask any of the Salazar haters who have forgotten that we only have an intact social security system because of Senator Salazar.
Cheers. Salazar is also cosponsoring legislation to save family farms. Allard is curiously absent... hmmm....
What are you cheering about today?
