Dick Cheney was in town raising money for Mad Cow Musgrave...just in case you were wondering what those marks on your neck were.
Let's call it quits. The State Legislature, under the Democrats, said it's done enough damage for the year and will allow Coloradans to breathe easy with their freedoms until the fall. The Republicans dared them to do it, and the Democrats banged the gavel early, saving the state $60,000. Let's be honest, it was a pretty damn successful session. It was the first time in Colorado's history the legislature has wrapped up earlier than the 120 day limit.
CSU and CU student governments are going to ask Colorado to legalize pot. Sure, kids, and how about increasing your financial aid while your at it? Idiots.

Check out Great Outdoors Colorado's website, which lists all the projects sponsored by GOCO, which was created by US Senator Ken Salazar.
Woodcock, they ain't. Two Burlington Northern engineers locked themselves in their locomotive and called the Boulder County Sheriff's department when a stowaway came headed for the locomotive.
[Butch is robbing Woodcock's train for the second time]
Butch Cassidy:
You can't want to get blown up again.
Woodcock:
Butch, you know that if it were my money, there is nobody that I
would rather have steal it than you. But, you see, I am still in the
employment of E. H. Herriman, of Union Pacific Railroad.
There was also a jail-break in Larimer County. Nothing as romantic as Jimmy Stewart pretending to be a hangman, but still pretty wild west. Is this a great state or what?
The CS Indy--perhaps the best damn newspaper in the state of Colorado, has this must read story of immigration.
Ward Churchill is in the news again, this time from Hawaii.
