COLORADO SPRINGS- At this morning’s motions hearing, the city attorney asked Municipal Judge Spencer Gresham to dismiss their case. Due to “discovery issues we cannot resolve” and “internal misunderstandings,” the city dropped the trespassing charges against us. So let’s see. They arrest us in front of everyone, detain us until [...]
That's the word I have heard more often than any other today to describe John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate. This word has come to me from politico's and the random guy I happened to be sitting next to at the bar earlier.

AKA, his-toe-ree. The often-ameliorative Mr. B. and I latched on to every piece of literature and (mostly) free item we were offered. Over the next several decades I'll post a large sample of it.

"The selection of Governor Palin is an insult to women. She has obviously been chosen to appeal to female voters, but she lacks both the experience and policy positions to serve as Vice-President of the United States."
"The announcement of Governor Palin's selection on John McCain's 72nd Birthday highlights the fact [...]
So, we got up this morning and realized that Denver isn’t famous anymore. Where’s Rachel Maddow, perched downtown, giving us sharp and independent analysis? Where are the stormtroopers circling the protesters? Where are the rumors that Oprah is eating with J-Lo at the Hard Rock Café?
Well, it’s over. And we’re [...]
Never mind that the rational thing to do was climb into bed. After the Barack Obama Bowl at Invesco, we made a late-night Bonfire-of-the-Vanities-esque drive to a warehouse for the shindig of the DNC: The Vanity Fair-Google party. (Note to celebrities who were in Denver last night and were not [...]
EN ROUTE TO ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Republican presidential hopeful John McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate is playing well in Colorado Springs, said El Paso County GOP Chair Nathan Fisk.

Dobson: Well, you know I did a radio program about a month ago with Dr. Albert Mohler, and we talked about what was at stake in this election and our concerns about the policies that Barack Obama would implement. The more I hear the more I [...]

In a Friday press release, U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard called Republican presidential nominee John McCain's selection of little known Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his running mate a "brilliant selection."
Wow, what a day yesterday! My kids saw history in the making. But I couldn't hear most of Obama's speech because of all the cheering. I had to watch it on YouTube when I got back home. And then it was capped by a generous gift from John McCain. What... [...]
One of the looming questions coming into convention week was whether the protest movement would catch fire in Denver. Looking back now, it’s probably safe to say that ‘68 was not quite re-created. But that doesn’t mean activists failed to show up, be heard, and rankle The Man. Here’s a [...]
First things first when it comes to gushing about how great the Democratic National Convention was for business in Denver.
“It’s anecdotal,” says Rich Grant, a spokesman for the Denver Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau. Still, to Grant and a large number of city leaders, it was “the homerun of all [...]

Make no mistakes about it the West is very much in play and with Hispanic voters making a clean break for Obama, McCain has a lot to worry about. In a recent poll of Arizona, Colorado New Mexico and Nevada, Obama leads McCain by 45 points among Hispanic voters.
Number of comments: 0 that while we all agree that the election of McCain/Palin would be a disaster for this country, it should not be lost on us that whatever happens in November, for the first time in the history of this country, we will not have two white men as President and Vice [...]
it is coming...you can hear it already but it will backfire, here is why..
First - "Palin has no experience". That's an easy one to dismiss. Sarah Palin has had more executive experience, meaning experience in running either a business or a government, than either Barack Obama or his [...]
