POV - Speakers and Caucus Training

In spite of any number of reasons that I was considering using as an excuse not to go, I made it to the Koelbel Library event this morning. I'm glad I didn't rationalize my way out of it, for a couple of reasons.

The speakers were interesting, even dynamic. The limited training was useful to a voter as ignorant of the caucus process as I am. And, as usual, the 9/12 and Tea Party people were friendly, involved, and helpful. It was, in all honesty, an enjoyable time and I experienced… Continue

Denver Art Museum sells Mao magnets

While visiting the gift shop at the Denver Art Museum last week, I noticed that magnets of Mao Tse-Tung by Andy Warhol were being sold. The manager and buyer for the gift shop, Greg McKay, defended the sale as Andy Warhol art. I told the manager that what he was doing was merchandizing Mao Tse-Tung and that he should reconsider and make better choices than to merchandize one of the greatest mass murders of the 20th century. Andy Warhol has done an a lot of art. Why choose Mao’s portrait? He is… Continue

Score 1 for California

California voters just defeated a number of ballot initiatives that were, ostensibly, meant to help reduce the state's massive budget deficit. Good on the voters of California, I say. California is a poster child for the "tax and spend" model of government, a model most Tea Party members are opposed to. The defeat of the California initiatives is being called a "tax revolt" and the results of that "revolt" may well give insight into how the rest of the country's elected officials will react to… Continue
