Go Nuggets!

Funny, but really wrong

This is unbelievable….
Allegations of staff photographing babies in sexual poses, including one child shown in a suggestive manner and smoking a cigarette, prompted the closure of an employee child day care center at Copper Mountain Resort, state officials said.
I mean, how dare they have a baby smoking.  Think of all the other babies subjected to [...]

A terrible day.

There’s nothing to say about the tragedy at Virginia Tech except that my thoughts are with the whole Virginia Tech family.  I got the flag from Instapundit and copied it.  I’m pretty sure he won’t mind.

Aloha Don Ho, We’ll miss you

About weather prediction

I hear we’re gonna get a foot of snow…
As a native Coloradoan, I doubt we’ll get 2 inches let alone a foot…
I may be wrong, but I had to write it down. I don’t believe these out of town interlopers with their newfangled weather gadgets for a minute.
I’ts nearly 2:00 am and I think [...]

A great day for my sports teams

It’s not everyday when Rockies, Nuggets, and Avs all win!  And all three in such dramatic fashion!  I can go to sleep happy.  Plus Jeff Bzdelik is going to coach the University of Colorado.  Woohoo!

It [...]

I wanna new drug, family edition

By Keith Richards….
Keith Richards has acknowledged consuming a raft of illegal substances in his time, but this may top them all. In comments published Tuesday, the 63-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist said he had snorted his father’s ashes mixed with cocaine.
I’m sure that if Keith’s dad had did half as many drugs as Keith, it was [...]

To change or not to change…a city’s name

Should Commerce City change its name?
Voters in Commerce City headed to the polls on Tuesday to decide whether to change the name of the city in which they live.
I think it’s interesting that Commerce City wants to change their name because of the image of the city, but their image really has nothing to do [...]
