  1. From today DP “Soured deal with Gov. Ritter forces Romanoff’s hand”. I am beginning to wonder who Ritter hasn’t doublecrossed. I thought it would be fun to start a list in Friday open thread.

    1) Andrew Romanoff (Lt. Governor offer)

    2) Andrew Romanoff (US Senate offer)

    3) Labor (to many times to count)

    4) Mayor Hickenlooper (US Senate Offer)

    5) Mayor Hickenlooper (DNC fundraising)

    6) Business Community (Union issues)

    7) Joan Fitzgerald (too many times to count)

    8) Congressman John Salazar (US Senate offer)

    9) Greg Kolomitz (Former campaign manager)

     

      1. Whether that susses out to praise for Ritter, I don’t know, but that’s ludicrous to say Ritter “offered” the Senate seat to everyone he considered.  

  2. http://www.gjsentinel.com/hp/content/news/stories/2009/09/03/090409_2a_town_hall_meetings.html

    Western Slope Crazies Conservative Alliance had a ‘town hall’ last night to berate elected leaders on health care reform:

    “Balance the budget, reduce the deficit, then come back and we can talk about health care,” said one 72-year-old [medicare recipient-Twitty] man. “If you believe that’s going to happen, one just flew over the cuckoo’s nest.”

    The comments and questions were videotaped. Organizers said DVDs would be sent to Salazar, Bennet and Udall and that the video of the meeting would be posted on the Internet.

    About 45 minutes after the meeting started at the college, Salazar began fielding questions from Western Slope callers who dialed into a telephone conference.

    Asked for his position on the government-sponsored health insurance option included in President Obama’s proposal, Salazar said he would support it “if it’s the only way to pass reform.”

          1. is what passes for rational thought in Mesa County. “I’ve got mine, and I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure you don’t get yours.”

            No wonder Penry is the local golden boy.

  3. You can read the whole thing here – A Major Danger with SAAS but to sum it up… Our customers in China cannot access our help ticket system because of something a company we have no relation with did.

    The thing is, it’s not just China. Many government and corporate firewalls stop access to inappropiate sites which can range from porn to consumer sites (like sports) to political. And we get limited along with those companies they are blocking.

    With SAAS growing they’re going to have to figure this out.

  4. Or as Janet might say…”What about the childrens?”

    Harmeless topic? Not according to the Republican Party of Florida, which released a statement “condemning President Obama’s use of taxpayer dollars to indoctrinate America’s children to his socialist agenda.”

    “The idea that schoolchildren across our nation will be forced to watch the president justify his plans for government-run health care, banks, and automobile companies, increasing taxes on those who create jobs, and racking up more debt than any other president, is not only infuriating, but goes against beliefs of the majority of Americans, while bypassing American parents through an invasive abuse of power,” said Jim Greer, party chairman, in a news release.

    1. 1. The party is creating lies about what’s going on.

      2. The media reports these lies as truths.

      3. Parents see it and go into a blind rage. They already didn’t like Obama, and now that they think he’s going to “indoctrinate America’s children to his socialist agenda” I can understand why they’re so pissed.

      I keep waiting for the strategy of making shit up, blatantly lying, and then feeding it to the media to backfire through the media calling them out on it, but it’s not happening.

      How can this kind of crap get reported, without the reporter then saying “Incidentally, the content of that quote was a steaming pile of bull shit”?

  5. The Colorado GOP just issued a news release:

    MEDIA ADVISORY: GOP LAWMAKERS SIGHT RITTER ABOUT-FACE ON ENERGY, CALL FOR REVISED RULES

    Followed twenty minutes later by another:

    CORRECTED VERSION MEDIA ADVISORY: GOP LAWMAKERS CITE RITTER ABOUT-FACE ON ENERGY, CALL FOR REVISED RULES

    Note to GOP proofreaders: your work is most valuable BEFORE you blast email thousands of Coloradans.

    1. and if the leadership of your party didn’t embolden the crazies through parroting and agreeing with their wingnut remarks, we might actually have a rational discussion.

      But they don’t and they won’t.  Instead they talk of ‘making vets commit suicide’ (RNC Chair Micheal Steele) or ‘death panels’ (2008 GOP VP candidate Palin).  Lifted right off the health monopolies talking points.  Thus your premise is faulty, and we all know where faulty premises lead–to false conclusions.  

  6. Maybe not…

    H/T RedState

    From Hotair…

    I’ve been trying to come up with a joke all morning about what sort of leftist lunatic might be next on O’s hiring list, but I simply can’t top “Truther communist.” Congratulations, Barry: You’re now parody-proof.
