Unlike the Congress in 1933, our current Dems do NOT understand how bipartisanship is a nice idea, but if they don’t want to play, fuck ’em. They sure didn’t with us for eight years.

The rest of the article makes it pretty clear that there’s no issue here.
except that the governor took a typical tax’n’spend approach to borrowed future tax money by hiring five separate people PLUS an entire law firm to help him decide how to spend the money.
You would think that spending a glut of federal dollars would be easy, but Ritter managed to make it not only needlessly complicated but also more expensive for taxpayers.
Rhode Island, a tiny state compared to ours, hired twice as many people to oversee the expenditures. Good Lord, you would think folks like you that just worry ever so much about keeping an eye of every dime would be thrilled that measures are being put in place to do just that…but nope. You’d rather just do what you do so well…bitch and moan while you sit on your ass.
That Rhode Island wasted more money than Colorado is totally immaterial to this discussion, except that both are typical examples of how an already bloated government body becomes more bloated and expensive.
And spending tax dollars to decide how to spend other tax dollars is not “keeping an eye on every dime”. Ritter hired five new employees to help him decide the most politically advantageous way to spend our money.
Blah, blah, fucking blah. You need a new song, One Tune Tommy…
That part where you said “Blah, blah”. That really caught my attention.
And just when you had me really believing you had a valid argument that challenged my assertion that Ritter was just hiring a team to make him look good on stimulus spending… you went and called me Tommy. My name’s not Tommy. Ya totally lost me.
I live to impress dumbasses like you.
in the midst of serious political discussions
Dumbass.
While I have no problem with minority-owned businesses getting stimulus contracts, it seems odd that a “minority program coordinator” would get paid almost as much as the “coordinator” position. Also, overseeing federal stimulus requires a media director and a communications director?
WOW, he shrewdly negotiated a deal to get a thousand lawyers to work for peanuts. Sounds like a fiscally responsible thing to do….
@ $40,000, that’s, what, forty bucks a lawyers. I’d say Ritter negotiated a killer deal.
a bunch of hobos at Hogan & Hartson, apparently
worked full time on stimulus compliance. But we know they didn’t — at least one, Scott McInnis, has been working on his campaign. No $40 for him.
According to the Daily Camera BVSD is exploring (meaning will propose) a tax increase. So what about…
Lets tie increased taxes to increased percentages of students getting a competent grade on the CSAPs. So they pull that up to 75%, we increase the tax rate.
They leave it at 70% as it has been the last 15 years even with all the tax increases during that period – no futher increase.
After all, if they cannot improve performance from the previous increases – why spend more money to no effect?
And if they can improve student performance with more money – lets keep increasing it to get additional improvement.
Josh Penry will have a banner with mountains on it. The crowd will be small. A picture of one of his kids squirming or making faces will be featured in the coverage of the event. Tax and spend will be repeated at least twenty-five times. When explaining the small crowd the Penry staff will say that it wass a press conference not a rally despite the e-mail messages and phone calls urging supporters to attend.
I realize it’s still front-and-center on Drudge a day later, but the world has moved on.
Here’s part of the reason why:

The photo is misleading about Obama’s attention, though not about Sarkozy’s.
…that just means he’s male.
He was watching his step and leaning back to give someone else a hand.
But yeah, sure, that photo is totally the story of the G8, glad someone finally dredged it up for Pols here.
I agree that he was just watching his step – but it still makes for a funny shot.
posted a picture like that of David’s underage daughter’s backside with lewd comments, he might not find it so “funny”.
The video shows he was not watching the callipygous lass at all. Sarkozy is another story altogether.

I’m going to Ritter’s RECOVERY ACT FAIR on Tuesday
so I can report on it for Polsbecause the CEO is making me go.I’ll post how it goes Tuesday afternoon.
