  1. just ignore her?  She only says this stuff to drum up publicity, get on TV and sell books. She says something outrageous, we jump on cue. We might as well all be writing her(?) checks.  

  2. Voorhis said he’s been offered a job with a “reputable organization,” one that pays less but would give his family a better quality of life. He didn’t discuss specifics but said it was not in law enforcement.

    in today’s Post article by Karen Crummy about the not-guilty ICE agent.

    http://www.denverpost.com/ci_8

    Anyone know where he might be going to work?

      1. They do seem to treat their foot soldiers well, especially if they take one for the team. My first guess was Independence. Probably does have a “better quality of life,” compared to raiding meat packing plants, etc.

            1. For all practical purposes, law enforcement can now “snoop” around databases for political purposes and not be prosecuted.  That is a tremendous victory.  Remember: Voorhis did NOT go after Ritter the DA, he went after Ritter, the candidate. He did NOT go after Ritter, the candidate for DA..which arguably would have been legit, he went after Ritter, the candidate for governor.

              The political strategy was to do another “willie horton.” camaign act.  Ritter successfully countered, but no candidate in the future will be immune from this kind of collusion between law enforcement and politicans.  I think it will make it more difficult for incumbent DAs and governors to run for office.

              Furthermore, anymore who has ever listened to Boyles picks up on the fact he despises aspects of the Constitution…basically the Fifth Amendment. If the police charge someone, then they are guilty, in boyles’ world. DAs and lawyers just get in the way.  

              He consistently uses his radio show to promote that idea.

              The danger is that the police/government can use media to destroy opponents….ie. outing CIA agents, convicting someone in the media to cover up sloppy police  work…ie.

              Patsy Ramsey,,,,,and that poor man, Schoals, whose step son was killed at Columbine and he had the audacity to hire a lawyer…..before his boy was in the ground, boyles had the man’s twenty year old prison record on the radio…..I have often wondered how he got that information so quickly.  Did someone in JeffCo’s sheriff;s office decide they didn’t want lawyers poking around that mess and leaked the info to boyles?  I don’t know.

          1. … one that’s drawn along party lines, so I won’t get into that.

            It’s true that Voorhis was the lightning rod for the ad BWB ran. That’s taking it for the team, regardless of whether you think either the ad or Voorhis’ actions were correct.

          2. without pay, family on the verge of financial disaster (per Crummy’s article), public pillorying, etc.

            For what it’s worth, I meant it as a compliment to the guy’s integrity. But if you want to take umbrage, go ahead.

            1. I just think he wasn’t the bad guy in this, and it looks like both sides misused the information.  Too bad a good ICE agent has to be personally financially ruined because someone has a grudge.

      1. the question of whether or not her suspension was fair, I stopped listening to her for more than the very occasional few minutes a long time ago because a little Randi goes along way, very grating after a while.  

        Also, I was burned more than once passing along info she gave out on her show that didn’t check out as completely accurate. Her dedication to fact checking leaves a little to be desired.  I’d LOVE to have the calm well prepared Thom Hartmann in her slot and have wonderful Rachel Maddow return to early evening. Having a hard time summoning outrage on Randi’s behalf.

        1. …although I’d check in now and then.  Lately, all she was doing was bashing Hillary.  Now and then, fine.  She was a frothing at the mouth Obama cultist.

          Yup, same screeching, often rude, woman.  Often right in her heart and a few facts, but often not especially well informed or educated.

          Those bangs, Randi honey, they gotta go.  Oh, you say YOU are gone?  Never mind.

          1. She’ll be back Monday.  Not all AM 760 programming is Air America and they have a deal with her new syndicate.  I’ve been so enjoying Randi free radio and her show’s subs but it’s over. Back to more NPR for me.  

            1. Yes, I know that they aren’t Air America; Ed Schultz is what, Jones Broadcasting?  

              A good friend in Greeley stopped listening to 760.  First it was the Hartmann time change, then he just got tired of Ed.  Sort of like Randi with a jock strap.

  3. Pankratz has a story up on the Post that Timber Dick, son of Nancy Dick and onetime Denver city council candidate, as well as a noted inventor, passed away yesterday afternoon.

    Timber Dick, a Colorado inventor and the son of Colorado’s first female lieutenant governor Nancy Dick, died late Thursday afternoon.

  4. On Thursday, a high-level Sadrist delegation held talks with Tariq al-Hashimi, a Sunni who is one of Iraq’s two vice presidents, his office said in a statement.

    The delegation, headed by senior al-Sadr aide Sayyed Hazim al-Araji, told al-Hashimi that the Sadrists don’t plan to be “an extension of any other country,” a reference to Iran. The delegation said it doesn’t object to the disarming of militias as long as it includes all militias.

    http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/

    Sadr meeting with the top elected Sunni.  It feeds into my view that SIIC/Dawa are the Iranian proxies and Sadr is an anti american Iraqi nationalist opposed to Iran and the US.
