Solving a problem Kevin Costner style
I’m a firm believer in conservation. However, I’m also a capitalist. I have always had disdain for the folks who carry on about “globalwarmingcoolingclimatechange” and then brag about driving their ’68 Volkswagon Bus cross-country, or those that fly privately to far off countries to complain about various climate issues. You know the ones. The “Enviro-scolds.”…

A thought about the Super Bowl ads and the poor treatment of women
Some people are upset about this ad because of the violence against women. O.K. I get it. I wasn’t offended by it, but, well, I suppose some people could be. But for all those who were offended by the violence of the “Tebow” ad, I have a question. Shouldn’t you mention this ad too? Or…

about my new job, except that I’m an advocate for bloggers. I’m really an advocate for the Colorado Senate Republican Caucus, but I think a strong relationship with bloggers is a good thing. If you want to know more about the Colorado Senate Republican Caucus. Colorado Senate News should be a daily read.

A tough choice
What to do for tonight’s festivities. I can… A) Go watch Al Jazeera interview a bunch of folk in Golden. B) Go to the third night of Slang TV’s Slang Lounge. C) Go to the RMBB 5000. I wonder which one I’ll attend?

What to do in Denver when your…..
not a part of the “festivities.” Well, for me this is a bit of a dilemma. I am only about six blocks from the capital and it would be no problem for me to go down there and grab a few choice shots of the protests. I’m also very close to the Governor’s Mansion so…

Denver better be ready….
Because these folks are animals It could get ugly….and that’s just the way we like it. Why else would 20,000 journalists come to town this week?
