Do as they say, not as they do

This is hysterical….
The way things are going, Boulder will only make it about halfway to its goal of cutting enough greenhouse gases to comply with the Kyoto Protocol, according to a memo released by the city staff Wednesday. 
I think this says a lot more about the Kyoto Protocol then Boulder, but still, not even halfway to [...]

No shock here

A conservative candidate for president is rejected by faculty and students in Boulder?
Bruce Benson is not the right man to lead the University of Colorado, organizations representing both CU faculty members and students decided separately Thursday.
The Boulder Faculty Assembly voted 40-4 against a motion to support Benson, an oil executive and Republican political activist, as [...]

Impeachme…..well, nevermind

Isn’t this how these things always go?
A move to draft a Boulder City Council resolution supporting the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney likely won’t get enough support to get off the ground Tuesday.
All hat and no cattle…again.  Seriously folks MoveOn.org!

Let’s compare

Think this person will get treated like this one?
Naw, I didn’t think so either.
I don’t want to hear any of those “but she was crazy” crud.  He sounds like he’s pretty crazy too.

Victory for Venezuela, defeat for Chavez

This is the start of the end of Chavez.
Voters in Venezuela defeated a contentious referendum that would have given President Hugo Chávez sweeping new powers, the Election Commission announced early Monday.
I’m sure Hugo will find a way to wiggle out of this, but for tonight, Venezuelans can see a light at the end [...]

Getting hung out to dry

Don’t accept bribes in China….
China executed the former head of its food and drug watchdog on Tuesday for approving untested medicine in exchange for cash, the strongest signal yet from Beijing that it is serious about tackling its product safety crisis.
During Zheng Xiaoyu’s tenure from 1998 to 2005, the State Food and Drug Administration approved [...]

This should be interesting

And fun…
What is the Denver City Council thinking, to be even considering passing a proclamation essentially drafted by a loose-knit group of radicals who are planning mass protests around the Democratic National Convention?
The Re-create 68 Alliance brags on its Web site, “We will demand change by making the Democratic Convention of 1968 look like a [...]

We have to let them do it

No matter how angry this gets us…
A member of the bizarre Kansas church that protests U.S. soldiers’ funerals has been arrested in Nebraska because her young son stomped on an American flag.
Don’t get me wrong. I hate the folks who do this as much as the next person, particularly these crazies who think it’s o.k. [...]

Is this opposite day or something?

This can’t be right…
Former President Jimmy Carter said Monday his remarks were “careless or misinterpreted” when he said the Bush administration has been the “worst in history” for its impact around the world.
I hope President Carter is o.k., it’s not like him to sound rational, particularly about President Bush.  Of course, he probably understands, that [...]

How will they blame Israel for this?

I wonder….
Lebanese troops pounded a Palestinian refugee camp with artillery and tank fire for a second day Monday, raising huge palls of smoke as they battled a militant group suspected of ties to al-Qaida in the worst eruption of violence since the end of the 1975-90 civil war.
Ooh!  I know!  If it wasn’t for Israel, [...]
