Given the results of the election I was struggling to find an appropriate ‘Friday Funny’ to post – I think I found it.

The American Legion was chartered by Congress as a patriotic veterans organization nearly 100 years ago and now counts more than 2.4 million heroes as members.  The organization is holding its national convention in Indianapolis this week and in a stunning sign of disrespect, President Barack Obama could not stop campaigning long enough to address [...]

Saint Patrick’s Day was a big day in politics locally as Republicans and Democrats gathered to establish the issues and candidates that will be going forward leading up to November’s elections.  While the Republicans competently completed their work, Adams County Democrats are in disarray and don’t even know the results of their assembly. We have [...]

Democrats and Republicans were unable to agree on new Congressional boundaries following the Census so Denver District Judge Robert Hyatt has done it for them.  Hyatt accepted a Democrat map that will drastically change the makeup of Colorado’s congressional districts. Update, 12/7/11 – Redistricting brings big changes, new congressmen to Thornton and Adams County Gerrymandering [...]

As the contenders line up to challenge Barack Obama in 2012 the media seems singularly focused on Sarah Palin and the question of whether or not she will run.  While no doubt even now readying to release a whole slew of lies again, the media’s pursuit of her has become comical to watch.

I freely admit that President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address last night actually kind of gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling – at first.  Then it occurred to me that if his actions in the last half of his first term match up to the words he spoke last night, his reelection [...]

How many strikes until you’re out?  Despite repeated failures, state GOP chairman Dick Wadhams has announced he will seek a third term.  Many Republicans now are left wondering if they can withstand the continual slide left Colorado has seen under his leadership.  Since Wadhams took the helm of Colorado’s Republican Party in 2007, the state [...]

The shooting yesterday in Arizona that killed 6 and injured 11 others including Representative Gabrielle Gifford is truly tragic and a reprehensible act for which I hope the perpetrator is sentenced to death.  But, I do have to ask, the media (and left) is making a huge deal out of it but have they taken [...]

The economy and more specifically the national debt was a key factor in this past November’s elections.  The American people have grown weary of a government that refuses to live within its means, something which we all individually do.  Analysis of the national debt since Democrats took over the House of Representatives in 2007 provides [...]
