Patrick Ruffini has a new feature up at The Next Right (should be a daily read for you). This new feature, Earmark Alert, keeps up with “the most outrageous earmark news from across the country.” Appropriately enough, he starts out with a “doozy.”
…the #3 Democrat in the House caught red handed earmarking to $6.2 million […]
Royal Navy veteran, woken by screams from his next door neighbor and her baby, and the sound of men shouting. It’s 2:30 in the morning.

Aware he was […]
The People’s Republic of Boulder, CO now has decided how big you may build your home.

The real story, and original reporting….
In April, the Denver Post ran three front-page articles by reporter Michael Riley attacking former Congressman and current Senate candidate Bob Schaffer for a fact-finding trip Schaffer took to the Northern Marianas Islands (“CNMI”) in 1999.
The type of misleading information and partisan rhetoric used in those “news” stories demands response, […]
Ummm…..cake please. For all the Eddie Izzard fans, click more.
At least, you do if you’ve graduated from this high school in Cleveland, Ohio.
Hmm…what to talk about. Or blog about, as the case may be. Can’t think of anything. Is there any news happening I should be aware of?
I’m kidding, of course. I’m actually in Tampa this week with the city of Aurora for the All America City Award competition, singlehandedly providing the music for the city’s delegation. […]
So found one traveler departing London.
Go through security, get pulled to the side. I’m wearing a French Connection Transformers t-shirt. Bloke starts joking with me is that Megatron. Then he explains that since Megatron is holding a gun, I’m not allowed to fly. WTF? It’s a 40 foot tall cartoon robot with a gun as […]
The state convention was last week. Several Rocky Mountain Alliance (2.0) bloggers were there and live-blogged the event. Night Twister has a good round up, too. Check out both.
Also, over at Schaffer v Udall Ben has the full video of Bob Schaffer accepting GOP Nomination for U.S. Senate.
A police community support officer ordered two Christian preachers to stop handing out gospel leaflets in a predominantly Muslim area of Birmingham.

What do you call someone who builds the regulations that govern some online school programs, then uses these same regulations to sue an online school and the state board of education? Here in Colorado, we call them “legislators.”
Last week Face the State brought the story that Michael Poore, the assistant superintendent for Colorado Springs School […]
Rocky Mountain Alliance blogger Joshua Sharf has submitted his required signatures to get onto the August 12 primary ballot. His team of 25 volunteers did a great job of rounding up more than enough signatures (958) to get onto the ballot.
It’s all in how you see things, no? How do you suppose this Grand Junction newspaper reporter views his own political world?
“So, do you think you’ve got this thing pretty much wrapped up?”
From the Denver Post this was the question put to Mark Udall Tuesday during Udall’s Western Slope tour. To be fair, Udall didn’t […]
Tell me this isn’t cool. You can’t. This is cool. Especially the telescopes.
When Emma was a toddler she constantly tried to climb into our laps to help herself to meal time. It was just impossible to eat for a year. That, combined with the new baby toys all over the floor making it more of a circus act to walk through the house, made us think about […]
