Army Staff Sgt. Wesley G. Hunter only lived in Colorado for three years but he knew it was where he wanted to come home to.  Having served in the Army from 1998 – 2001, he came to Colorado and quickly fell in love with our state.  He also fell in love with Rayanne Weese and [...]

You know, I have been sitting here thinking about the whole financial mess we seem to find ourselves in today.  It of course all started with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and their demise and that got the ball rolling downhill.

“”I’m shocked,” said RTD director Bill Christopher”
“”I’m madder than hell,” RTD director and former Thornton mayor Noel Busck said…”

Having watched all of Sarah Palin’s interview with Charlie Gibson I initially was a bit taken back as some of Palin’s answers were a bit rough and I expected better.  I did take note that the first part of the interview shown on World News Tonight on Thursday had some rather rough editing cuts that [...]
