After years of standing firm, my daughter used her super-powers of daddy-manipulation, and, well, I caved. We now have a dog. I’m pretty sure it thinks its name is “No!” But get this, it came with the name “Gary.” Gary? Who names a dog Gary? Now when it gets out of the yard I’ll be running around the neighborhood yelling, “Gary! Gary!” like my gay boyfriend just ran out on me (not, not that there’s anything wrong with that).

As a nation, we’re still wrapping our collective heads around the ugliness of racism and neo-Nazi rallies like the ones in Charlottesville. I believe this is a dying gasp from a fading, ignorant mindset. Racism isn’t growing, it’s fading. Just look at the rates of interracial marriage and children. The real issue is economic stagnation.

As I’ve mentioned before, in the quarter century I’ve been an activist in Colorado politics I have never witnessed such a betrayal of taxpayers by Republicans as I did this last legislative session. State senate leadership caved like a Dixie-cup to a half-billion dollar per year tax increase and a multi-billion dollar debt package.

Chance is the frat brother I never had. While some people (read Amy Cooke) keep trying to get me to own up to my own immaturity, Chance takes no such responsibility for his. His naughtiness screams, “I can do this because I have Down Syndrome and you are powerless to stop me, so just enjoy it.”

The state has enough tax money to give film subsidies to multi-millionaire film directors like Quentin Tarantino, to give cash to rich guys to buy Teslas, and to give free health insurance to healthy men with jobs. Yet somehow, we don’t have the money to fix our crumbling roads.

When you’ve been rejected by as many women as I have, you’d think being rejected by the US Supreme Court wouldn’t hurt. We asked the high court to restore our First Amendment right to free speech, which was taken from us by McCain-Feingold. The Wall Street Journal explained the merits of our case well here. By […]

As I write this, we are anxiously awaiting word from the US Supreme Court on whether or not they will hear our challenge of McCain-Fiengold disclosure laws. Our question is: Do we lose our First Amendment right of free speech just because an election is within 90 days. Should the calendar trump free speech? (See, […]

“Happy Holidays,” is what Communists say. We say “Merry Christmas,” but feel free to agree or disagree on our weekly, super-scientific poll at IndependenceInstitute.org. Because my kids don’t get enough days off from public school, despite what seems like 20 “teacher service days,” they of course have an extra-long winter break. But unlike public schools, […]
