The Devil Made Him Do It
Nothing angers me more than parents who refuse to take responsibility for their actions. Say it with me: Bad parents ruin our classrooms, our community, our country. Any drug addict, recovering whack job, troubled teenager or evil corporate whore will tell you the same thing: mommy and daddy suck. I’m not saying I buy such [...]
Laura Hagan Gets Her Baby Back
Municipal Court Judge Mike Graber gave in to whacko dog owners, their mean-spirited nonsense and death threats and is allowing an attack dog to go home with his owner as long as she follows some rules. To hell with the neighborhood children. “I’m trying to balance your rights and interests as well as the needs [...]
I’m Not Easily Manipulated. Are You?
The GOP must think Jews are a bunch of uneducated, easily-led mouthbreathers. Like conservative constituents or something. But we’re not. So enough with the whole “Barack is no friend of Israel” nonsense. Hey, Republicans – You’re losing ground and a black man is about to run the country. Handle it. Or drop off the face [...]
Addiction Schmaddiction
Apparently within ten years, doctors will treat addiction as a disease. Which means, according to a recent Newsweek article, the sufferers will get medicine. Better living through chemistry. Once again. Scientists and doctors are actively researching and using new vaccines (read: drugs) that will cure your addiction to…anything: other drugs, cigarettes, brownies, alcohol, maybe even [...]
Everyone And Their Mother Has Seen This
But I’ve gotta run it anyway. One of the comments over at Crooks and Liars made me think out loud: But why would we want a bitch who firmly and confidently supported an illegal war in Iraq, who approves of cluster bombs, and is quite willing to support an illegal use of force against Iran? [...]
Twelve Hours I Won’t Ever Get Back
I arrived at 7:45am and didn’t realize I was about to experience the longest day of my life. In a high school auditorium. Surrounded by way too many opinionated people. Who smell like essential oils. The El Paso County Democratic Convention took place this past Saturday in downtown Colorado Springs. God help us. God help [...]

Turns Out I’m An Inmigrant. Who Knew?
Disclosure: I write speeches and presentations for people with great ideas who don’t want the audience to fall asleep. So there’s that. Thursday night, I ventured out to Bambino’s for dinner with my fellow Dems. Remember what happened the last time I went to one of Allison’s meetings? Right. I’m still trying to block it [...]
Another Brick in the Wall
Let’s face it, as concerned parents, we don’t always have the best options when deciding which schools to send our children. If we even have a choice. More often than not, we have to sacrifice something. For better or worse, we deal with the community in which we live; its strengths and weaknesses are often [...]
