The CSU Board of Governors has voted to ban concealed weapons from campus. Whatever their reasoning (the article cites both general gun-naughtiness and the possibility of “accidental discharge” as motivating factors), I think this is a bad and/or silly move. I don’t intend to have a discussion on gun politics here, I just feel like [...]

Indeed, I think this is a far more likely outcome than anything of actual, you know, substance. Question for the President: Do you plan to have beers with every arrestee-of-color and cop-accused-of-racial-profiling? Don’t you have more important things to be doing than getting involved in this situation that probably happens every single day? Don’t you [...]

In a close 5-4 decision, it appears that the Supreme Court finally did something right.
Newsflash, folks: America is a land of equal opportunity, not a land of equal results.
It will be interesting to see how (as noted in the last paragraph of the article) Supreme Court nominee Sotomayor answers the questions that will inevitably arise [...]

First, the CSU Collegian (in a rare showing of actual journalism) broke a story on Tuesday regarding a huge number of investigations into police wrongdoing that CSU, the Attorny General and others have ignored and quashed. Included in the report [...]
Penny Arcade on Internet Drama. Randomly, last Sunday’s “King of the Hill” plot centered around MySpace drama as well. Apparently this is a well-publicized problem with having interpersonal relationships go high-tech.
Profit-sharing checks came out at work this week. Mine appears to be about enough to cover necessary new rubber on my vehicles. It should be [...]
In order to balance out my civic duty to vote with my paychic duty to actually get to work today, I was the first voter in line at my chosen polling place.
…at 6:15am.
Needless to say, whatever happens, don’t blame me, I voted for Kodos.

I sent a letter off to my state representative and state senator yesterday (CCd to both Denver papers and the Coloradoan in hopes it’ll light a fire under somebody). If you recall, I’m a little bit sick and tired of political telemarketing calls, so I decided to try and do something about it. The text [...]
