Beautiful vibrant ballad. Aliona came in 12th. Standing there on the floor as she rocked the song in the second half as she ascended with the giant dress that displayed flames – WOW!
Dare I ask…why David, why?
Why not?
and, you've provided the answer 😉
Secession is the wrong word. The fact The Denver Post and Colorado Pols are beating this drum only confirms my suspicions that CPols is Curtis Hubbard’s and Lynn Barfels side project.
There are so many Federal ties, a 51rst State would still be joined at the hip with Colorado.
Ironically, Colorado and its amendment #64 is more of a step towards succession than any other State action in the past 100 years!
IT is a sad time in humanity when a cheap smear is more important than objectivity.
Take a class or something. Or at least read Voyageur's comment since he, unlike you, always knows WTF he's talking about.
A 1 percenter tells the truth about "job creators"
Nick Hanauer, successful entrepreneur and one percenter, gave testimony on income inequality a few days ago before the U.S. Senate. His testimony in full should be posted in every break room in America:
I would add one thing to that. Those of us focused on growing our business (as opposed to extracting maximum profits), even though we benefit from the present system, would benefit more form a middle-class centric system. Because a growing economy is the most powerful tool for growing a business.
is this the same guy who mad those same points in a TED presentation that has been roundly ignored by many of his peers?

All of this sounds very familiar. Like what many of us here have been saying all along. I'd like to add that, while opportunity to make it as an entrepreneur is a wonderful thing, the GOP selling that opportunity as the only thing, the only tool in their economic kit, is a joke for simple reasons.
We are never going to be an economy composed of 90% entrepreneurs. But let's say we can expand the number of entrepreneurs. What will this expanded entrepreneurial army need? An army of reasonably prosperous paying customers and clients
That means we need an economy in which, while there is plenty of opportunity to make it to the top with a successful business, there are also plentiful well paying jobs for the majority who aren't going to ever win or even enter that race (we'll still need teachers, nurses, police, firefighters, EMTs, construction sector, service sector and all manner of workers besides entrepreneurs) to provide a broad base of consumers for all the goods and services provided by that minority of successful entrepreneurs.
Dems don't want to take away the opportunity to make a killing with a successful business but R economic policies, with their sole focus on the opportunity to join an elite minority, have the consequence, often intended, of taking jobs that provide a decent middle class income for the majority out of the economy.
The R model creates a tiny class of winners (nothing kills new busineses like lack of customers) and a huge class of losers. History shows us where that takes a society and it isn't a place Americans should want to go.
This sorta stands Ayn Rand's concept of "Takers and Makers" on it's head. MIddleclass consumers with money to spend are the Makers, while the 1% are the real Takers.
Encouraging news that the Kids are Alright (apologies if this was posted earlier — work has kept me away from this site far too much):
And since we have so many GOP apologists insisting that all's right with the Party, I think the axiom that progress only happens one funeral at a time will hold true once again.​
A postcard with a story like this every week to every voter in Senator Morse's district, and the gun nuts will find their arguments will be hurting them.
Another real American hero, fighting for our freedoms. A warrior.

This remains one of the ballsiest performances, and one of my personal favorites, evah:
Very Large Brass ones. No wonder he's hosted every year since….
