But I thought the economy had recovered?

Is there an elephant in the room?

Here it is, in all it’s FAIL-drenched glory:

An entire article on the loss of non-resident hunting permits declining without mentioning anywhere the recent push of the Colorado Denver state legislature making it so dangerous to bring any guns into the state that hunters nation-wide are boycotting us.

Money quote: “…lose that non-resident hunter–from old age, economic downturns, or whatever–and you lose a substantial bit of jingle.”

OR WHATEVER? Good lord.

I have no sympathy for the Department of Parks and Wildlife losing their entire budget because of this, if they aren’t going to go out of their way kicking and screaming about the idiocy out of Denver. If you are silent on this issue OR WHATEVER, you are no friend of me, resident sportsmen, or the out of state hunters you claim to love the money of.

On the latest idocy out of Denver

…but that’s just me. I try to avoid that place like the plague.  I hope Mr. Perazzi takes them to court and cleans them out. Two or Three Billion isn’t too much to ask–make sure that they have to keep paying you in installments (with interest!) for the next 50 years.

Fuck Denver.

Added: Apparently this story was a hoax? Or maybe not? Or maybe just a big clusterfuck of conflicting reports, denials of denials, ad absurdum? In any case, I still wouldn’t mind it if anyone of the last name “Perazzi” sued the City of Denver for $3,000,000,000.00.

Here’s a crazy idea…

DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. You’re supposed to be the fourth estate of government, for crying out loud–get the bottom of it and start calling for their heads! Whining is not attractive in grown men or news organizations!

90%?

Well, ok, not quite 90%. 87.1% of Colorado Sheriffs think that the Denver Democrats are insane fascists. Michael Bane brings the news.

Linky Linky

From the Great and Powerful Czar of Muscovy, on the recent (and not so recent) spat of scandals in the Obama administration:

Let us see if we can figure out the pattern here. People who report to the President attempt to make him look tough and competent; through their actions, people die or have their Constitutional rights violated. The President has absolutely no idea what is happening.

Now let us reduce that further: People who report to the President attempt to make him look competent. The President has absolutely no idea what is happening. Allow us to simply that yet again: the President is an idiot and everyone around him knows this.

Ouch.

And something to ponder from Franklin Sanders:

On 14 May 1913 (same year the Federal Reserve was founded) John D. Rockefeller founded the Rockefeller Foundation with a gift of $100,000,000. According to inflation calculators that use understated US government figures, that would equal $2.35 billion today. However, in 1913 $100 million equaled 4,837,500 oz. of gold. At $1,425/ounce, that would be worth today $6.893 billion.

BAN FIREWORKS!

Since that’s apparently what the Boston bombs were made of.

Oh, wait, here all those fireworks are already illegal. Oh well. Next!

I can’t beleive he was sober enough to make a decision

Max Baucus (Drunkard, Montana) has decided not to run for re-election, after 36 years in office. Of course, now Brian Schweitzer (current very popular D Governor of MT) is thinking of running, and if he does he’s sure to win it. But still, fresh(er) blood, right?

Republicans…

Why do I consider myself an Independent? Because every political party out there wants to be a tin pot dictator, they just want to ignore different parts of the constitution.

From The Miller:

“The biggest question I have today is why was President Obama more upset about this than the terrorist bombing in Boston?”

Indeed.

Quote of the politics

That pretty much sums it up.

Helping Hippies and Hurting Hunters

So Hickenlooper has launched a new “Re-branding Colorado” campaign, where you can tweet or share pictures about what makes Colorado special to you. I’m trying to think of some good slogans that are spam-worthy. My mom suggested “Rock Mountain High” which is pretty good, but maybe a little too insider baseball. “Stoned, Disarmed, and Happy”? “Highest College Graduate Population in the Country, but least amount of Higher Education Funding”? (not making that up, btw) “Colorado: Let the Cleansing Begin”? “2014, Bitchez! Bring it!”?

Wait, I think I’m maybe getting off track. In any case, it’s just shiny frills to keep the clueless proles happy.

Got any suggestions?

Oh yeah, and “F*ck Denver!”

Sow the wind

Reap the whirlwind.

2014

Democrats R Dumb

“Majority of people.” This lady apparently never checks her email, voicemail, snail mail, listens to the news, or to the cars honking outside the capitol building or anything but the tiny voices inside her head that whisper “Breath in. Blabber out. Breath in. Blabber out.”
