Moving to Denver
Some personal news in my neck of the woods that I wanted to share with readers: My wife Emily, my dog Monty and I will be moving to Denver, Colorado from Helena, Montana in about 2-3 weeks. I’m simultaneously bummed about leaving Montana, but psyched to be staying in the Great American West and to be going to such a great city. In case you thought our move had something to do with Denver being the site of the Democratic convention, I’m happy to inform you that our reasons are much more mundane, but also much more significant for us personally. We’re moving to be closer to family and for job stuff (we started making plans to move to the Mile High City well before they ever announced the convention would be taking place there). My brother and his soon-to-be wife live down in Denver, and my wife Emily is going to be attending the University of Denver’s social work school.
David, all I can say is Denver is lucky to have another progressive journalist in town.
Denver will be ready.
First Beer is on me, bro.

can easily counter that sh*t-slinger Wadhams, if our side cares to.
David Sirota has it dead-solid perfect: We are in the throes of a class war, and the classless ones have been winning for a long time. The illegal immigration controversy is an essential flash-point in this war, as the flood of illegals drives down the wage base. As is the case in all fascist societies, the rights of the worker are diminished, while corporate titans are given free rein. This is about what kind of a society we will bequeath to our children, and too many politicians are on the wrong side of this battle — on both sides of the aisle.
What Teddy Roosevelt wrote a century ago should be the watchwords we live by today: “We demand that big business give the people a square deal; in return we must insist that when anyone engaged in big business honestly endeavors to do right he shall himself be given a square deal.”
Republicans are for both the man and the dollar, but in case of conflict the man before the dollar.
The R’s were the reform party from 1856 (??)to the turn of the century. A reading of the party platforms in the post Civil War decades sounds like something out of the New Deal. Sometime around the turn of the century, the two parties practically changed garb.
The Dems built on Teddy Roosevelt to become the part of the common man. The R’s became the darlings of the powerful, the gilded privileged.
