Now I know what my cat brought in, back in college in CA…
At first I thought it was a crude, motorized toy…
Quite horrified when I realized it wasn’t!!
Swear to God I heard Outer Limits music.
They are here, mankind is doomed.
AAAIIIGGGH!!!!!!!!!!

Regardless of what some of those clowns at eastboco said, I had your email address from the below exchange a while back from when you wrote ME, forgot about it. I’m not going to waste everyones time in YourHub sorting this out, and I don’t care what you or your buddies think about me, I really dont but I think there’s one thing you have totally wrong. This “Wounded Creative”, as in creationist? Is that what you’re going for? Seriously, I am so far from a bible thumper. You think a holy roller would fire back with my politically incorrect zingers? Think about it. You want to go after me, fine, but at least have this fact straight.
If you werent going for that, not sure what is “wounded” as people on your side of this issue (at eastboco) are making you all look like asses. You don’t strike me as a dumb guy, and you obviously will do whatever you want and think will help your cause friendly advice, this aint it. Ripping on me has absolutely no effect on this issue, I have no horse in this race, Pedrow and DelVecchio pretty much hates my living guts (if anyone really read my website, they’d know it), Lifebridge probably doesn’t like my aggressive language, but I didnt ask, and they dont know me. It’s a principle thing. And to infer I’m in bed with the city in some way, or part of some inner circle, or whatever else dreamt up is so far from reality it’s insulting. Those types may exist, but I aint one of em, not by a longshot. But I can take the shots if you don’t believe that, this part of my life is easy.
But this will be over sometime soon in the future, and it wasn’t all that long ago when the same people taking shots at me now were asking me to help in other causes, like that funeral home situation and some other stuff. Yeah, I got a pretty long memory. It doesnt appear I blew you off when you asked me about the airport complaint logs where I didnt have to remove peoples addresses and phone numbers, yet Zweck gets tossed up like some victim? The same guy who threatened to shoot me and was warned by the police or face serious consequences? That guy? Oh and the potshots taken at my house around the same time, and threats by adult children of high up city staff people, and traceable email virus attacks, traced to city IP’s? That enough to convince you that you need a different tack than “city lapdog”?
If not, these kinds of games arent new to me and I know how to deal with them.
Adios, Chris

I’ve always liked the Seal of the State of Colorado, but felt the color scheme was… well… cartoonish. Then I saw this stamped-metal embellishment on the staircase at the northern entrance of the capitol building in Denver.
Wow.
Now there’s a symbol of power. Dark, brooding, axes,hammers and the all-seeing eye.
Yeah, they knew how to do Government back in the day.
Bow down you peons, this the shrine of governance. Cower and be afraid.
*grin*

Pat Died for Our Sins
“Was his death by fratricide an accident or a homicide? After all, he had reportedly advised fellow Rangers to vote for John Kerry and, on his next leave, was looking forward to meeting Noam Chomsky.”

Event Calendars I’ve seen on the web, at least the month-view ones, show the full month instead of starting
Event Calendars found on the web
Note: all calendars are month-view and all show full month starting on first day of month. Seems to be existing standard.

Wow. The Secretary of the CO GOP is, um… iconic? Archetypal? Sociopathic? Wow. Read for yourself.
From the Rocky Mountain News online
Lieutenant Steve Schultz, USNR (Ret), also Secretary of the Colorado Republican Party writes:
Morons who support Move.on.org aren’t happy with the America of our fathers and grandfathers. They want a socialist state, period. Kathy Madden(RMN Letters Oct 2nd) rants about chickenhawks but I wonder how much military experience she has?, especially at the classified level where I worked as a naval intelligence officer for sixteen years. Move.on puppets like Steve Shelton and Kathy Madden have no clue about the big picture, they just hate Bush. Their shallow diatribes don’t include any solutions, just emotional liberal talking points. The U.S. Senate voted 77 to 23 (bipartisan votes) to remove Saddam Hussein. That’s why we’re there.

A friend of mine, who was sure he was registered to vote, got an unpleasant surprise after sorting out a minor traffic ticket. Apparently voter registrations are ‘taking longer to processs’ these days.
Check your registration status RIGHT NOW online:
Boulder County Clerk Voter Registration Page
Do it right now.
Remember, we live in a RED STATE.
Do it right now. Click Here.
If you’re SURE you’re registered, check anyway. If you’re suddenly NOT registered, please let me know. Especially if you have hard proof.

It’s a small, small world.
Next time you think your job sucks, remember these folks.
This is where globalization is taking us.
We should not go here.
