Sanctimoniousness

This 25 cent bag tax idea is bad. Really bad. Sign our petition today to tell them to stop this.  Welp. Campaign finance reports were due last night. Some candidates waited until the last minute to get them in. That was annoying. Of note: Jared Polis has spent $1.4 million of his own dollars thus

Our veterans deserve better

In case you thought that the Democratic gubernatorial primary field was solidifying . . . John Fielder (yes, the famous photographer) and a local pipefitters union are endorsing Cary Kennedy over Jared Polis. Our veterans deserve better than this VA hospital fiasco. They should be getting the best care our country has to offer. Why shouldn't we put the

You will obey with your canvas bag . . .

They’re going to FeelTheBern in new and ouchie ways

The Denver Post Ed Board condemned the protesters who camped out in front of Cory Gardner's house on New Year's Eve. Good for the Post. I wonder how all those FeelTheBern caucus-goers are gonna feel about the party elites handpicking Democrat candidates and urging others out of the way. I bet it's not good. Jared Polis is

Advertising trying to steal property

Greg Smith, the Executive Director of PERA, Colorado's public sector retirement association, died unexpectedly Tuesday night at the age of 56. He had a talent for connecting with people even when they disagreed with him and finding common ground even in hard circumstances. He was a giant of a man, literally and figuratively. Denver Citycouncilwoman Kendra

Ask Me Anything

State Rep. Dan Nordberg is leaving the legislature to take a position with the SBA. Jared Polis' Reddit AMA (ask me anything) raised some eyebrows about when he's going to get time to "game" again. A Denver coffee shop is applying to be the first marijuana club.

Blocked on Twitter

The Democrat circular firing squad fires again. Don't take it for granted that everyone is all on #TeamPolis - because it looks like some big donors are still behind Johnston. Also, for those of you who (like me) have been blocked by the super thin-skinned David Sirota - here's a screenshot. You're welcome. Jared Polis
