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.
He called police and strapped on the false leg he has worn since his leg was amputated in March 2004 while he was still serving with the Royal Navy.
Aware he was […]

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, […]
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.
Sure, that’s bad. This is worse:
A police community support officer (PCSO) interrupted the conversation and began questioning the ministers about their beliefs.

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 […]
It’s National Charter Schools Week, and that means lots of chatter in Washington, D.C., about whether charter schools hurt or improve public education. … The National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, which favors the expansion of charter schools, conducted a March poll of 800 registered voters and found a majority of them want more public […]
Slapstick has an exclusive story running about this summer’s Democratic National Convention. I’m going nowhere near downtown Denver in August.
Targeting Democrat delegates, hotels, banks, military recruitment centers, and governmental and police offices…
Keep an eye on this….El Presidente has it covered well.

It was during our last trip to England that the Archbishop of Canterbury made his ridiculous statements about Sharia law. Great, thanks! What a good idea.
Hazel just rounded up a few recent spots of British law. As the saying goes, with friends like these who needs enemies?
In the immortal words of Inigo Montoya, “you keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.”
A California court has ruled that the homeschooled children of Phillip and Mary Long must attend public schools - or, as the “court” put it,
that several children in one homeschool family must be […]
